2013 Buick Verano User Reviews

Pros

gorgeous looks, inside and out. Great technology and standard features

Cons

None

Purchased As New

I love this car! A great way to celebrate Buick's 110th birthday! The White Diamond exterior is beautiful, as is the two tone Cashmere interior. I've owned it since Nov 2012 and it runs like a champ. I've also influenced a friend to get one, even though he was a died-in-the-wool foreign car driver.
He also loves his Verano. Great Job Buick!...read morehide

Pros

Quiet, Rides smooth, great standard features for the price.

Cons

Not very peppy, and shifting can be a little sluggish.

Purchased As New

Although I would like the car to be quicker overall I think the vehicle is a awesome car. The features you get for the price are exceptional. Besides a slugging transmission the ride is ultra quiet and smooth. I was looking at a 2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium for the same price and I am very happy that I choose the Verano....read morehide

Pros

Rides nice, handles good, brakes good

Cons

Looks ugly, another gov mandated built style

Purchased As Not Purchased

The worst seats I've ever sat on period. remove the seats and replace with a wal mart lawn chair. the back seat room is a joke. The car sometimes does not detect the key. the fuel gauge is upside down.

Pros

Extremely quiet, handles very well, great gas mileage and lots of standard features

Cons

Smallish back seat

We leased the 2013 Verano with the Convenience Package in October 2013. I can't find anything bad to say about this car. It has been driven around town as well as on long road trips of several hundred miles.

The ride and comfort are excellent. I'm 6'1" and easily fit in the car. The back seat would be another story, but there are only two of us and we also have a Chrysler 300.

Gas mileage is great and we love the Experience Buick Lease. It came with 2 years of OnStar, XM Radio and Maintenance included and the lease payments are very competitive.

I highly recommend the Verano to anyone looking for a compact sedan....read morehide

Cons

Purchased As New

We traded a 2003 pontiac grand prix. big step up, amazing technology improvements. so far it has been a great vehicle except for the rear leg room or lack of it. I wonder if we should have gotten a bigger car like the Regal or Impala. I'm just a big guy so gettig in the front seat is a problem. But still a good vehicle....read morehide

Pros

deceptive speed, excellent handling,

Cons

turbo requires premium fuel

Purchased As New

I have the 2013 Verano with Turbo pkg. It has quick acceleration, excellent handling and braking, and is very well equipped. Many of the standard features would be optional (if even available) on similar vehicles of this size. The six speed auto transmission, is smooth and responsive, sound system is terrific. Add the rear vision camera, bluetooth, solar tinted glass and lots of technology that works well and provides plenty of information to keep you informed and make driving a pleasure. This one is a winner for me....read morehide

Pros

Comfort, style and great on gas!

Cons

Not enough backseat space.

Purchased As New

This is by far the best "small" luxury comfort sedan I've ever owned compared with the VW Passat and KIA Optima. I get the same power as these cars, comfort BUT i get better gas mileage. You might not see it at first, so start driving and see for yourself!

Pros

great styling,quiet, great back up camera and bumper sensors

Cons

Dash board gauges to small. Can't read the printing on center console buttons

Purchased As New

Great car in need of some passenger refinements before it gets to be an an excellent car

Pros

Solid, Quiet, Comfortable & Sure Ride

Cons

Driver's Seat Gets Uncomfortable After Excessive Driving.

Traded my trusty '08 Saturn Aura in for a '12 Verano a week ago. I originally wanted to to trade it in for a LaCrosse but that didn't work out. I saw a beautiful fully loaded White Diamond Tricoat with a Choccachino interior on the lot & decided to take it out for a spin. I was not disappointed. The 2.4L engine is not lacking for power as I have read in other reviews. Merging with traffic & passing has not been an issue. Yesterday I took the Verano out for a 481 mile road trip & managed 33.3 miles to the gallon. To be fair my Saturn had a 3.6L V-6 that got me 30-31 MPG on the hwy but as quiet & smooth as I thought it was it doesn't compare to the Buick & the Verano hasn't been "broken in" yet.
The touchscreen for navigation, weather & music is intuitive & easy to get accustomed to. You can also navigate through buttons on the dash which is also easy to figure out. The Bose 9 speaker sound system is incredible. Also, when you remote start the car the heated seats & rear defroster engage automatically when the outside temp is 45* or colder. I've only touched on a few features but I can tell you that for what this car has to offer in quality & technology & that it came in under 30K it is a steal. Too soon to tell about the reliability just yet but so far it looks hopeful....read morehide
