My wife and I purchased a new Buick Varano in 2013..under warrantee the battery was replaced. There was also a recall on a pinched wire under the passengers seat..Problems during the 5yrs. Ownership and only front brakes being redone at 120,000 miles ? NONE! GOT HIT FOM BEHIND AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT! Vehicle was a Write OFF ! As seniors we have never owned a more trouble free car.We were sad to lose it..when one reads the reviews on vehicles I've found it's a very good practice to listen to folks that have owned the particular vehicle they are considering buying.

The Buick Verano is one of GM’s more affordable luxury cars with a base price of $20,000. This Buick attracts a lot of younger people that want luxury car features at an affordable price. The Verano is a sporty car, but also a great family vehicle. The upgraded package can includes leather heated seats, a 9 speaker Bose audio system, heated steering wheel, electric seats, rear backup camera and a push to start ignition. While the basic package is well-received, the upgrades are worth the extra money. These upgrades can bring the price to over $25,000. The 2013 Buick Verano comes with two different engine sizes. The base engine is a 4 cylinder 2.4 L able to produce 180 horsepower at 6,700 RPM’s. For a sportier feel the upgraded engine is a 4 cylinder 2.0 L with a turbo for and extra boost of 250 horsepower at 5,300 RPM’s. With a base engine, I noticed that you barley have to hit the gas for the engine to get up in speed. The Verano only comes with a 6 speed automatic transmission that shifts very smoothly through gears. Even know you might think the smaller the engine the better gas mileage, this isn’t true. Buick has put an eco-friendly engine in the Verano. Both models come with a fuel tank capacity size of 15.6 gallons. The fuel economy is rated at 21 miles per gallon in the city and 30 to 32 miles per gallon on the highway. I drive 30 miles round trip 6 days out of the week and have noticed excellent gas mileage. Safety and security features are another great aspect of this car. The Buick Verano includes a driver and passenger airbags. There are also rear side-impact airbags and overhead airbags, for a total of 10, that make passengers feel safe in case of an accident or if the car was to roll over. Other people may wonder if the Verano is secure in weather related conditions. I would say yes, because it is equipped with traction control, ABS brakes and break assist. The Verano is front wheel drive which helps in snow because the weight of the engine is in the front pushing the tires down to grip the surface. In a crash test, the Verano tested 5 out of 5 stars for its excellent safety features. The car also comes with security features such as a panic alarm, 4 door locks and immobilizer which will prevent the wrong key from going in the ignition to keep thieves away from stealing the vehicle. Safety, security and high tech features are why I would suggest a Buick Verano to anyone that is looking for a reliable car to get them to point A and B and back. The only con I had with this car is its limited backseat room which is not that big of a problem. Overall I would rate the 2013 Buick Verano an 8 out of 10 stars.

Purchased certified pre-owned 2013 Buick Verano with 30K miles in August 2016 and I am still happy with it for the MOST part. People complain about the grill but I think it looks expensive and unique. My younger brother thought it was a Bentley at first glance. The size of this car makes it easy to maneuver and park. Smooth quiet ride that Buick is known for. However, the acceleration is lackluster. I preferred the 2013 Regal Turbo but that was above my budget. The Verano is just fine otherwise, but if you have an extra 3K to spend, get the Regal Turbo. Mileage is now at 54400 and ive had to change the front driver tire twice in the first yr of ownership. Now in the 2nd yr i have changed all 4 tires. And the fake leather seats on the convenience trim stain really easily. The car died on me in the first year. It was the battery which was replaced. Other than the battery and the tires its been just regular maintenance. I do enjoy the service i receive for scheduled maintenance at the dealership. Still have it now at 83k miles. even more reliable now. I feel like it drives better now the longer I've had it. Since the battery, no other major parts have needed to be replaced. Only regular maintenance. 2022- I've changed the battery again now 6 years later. no other mechanical issues. I think the OEM tires and battery are of lower quality. I've replaced with better quality and the car is performing better.

A new problem since my review. 3 blocks from my dealer, the Climate Control quit blowing cold air and started pumping out high heat like the heater was on. I pulled into the dealer, the Service Adviser acknowledged the problem as did the Service Mgr. The S/A got the cold air working again, so I pulled out of the dealership and the cold air quit again. I returned and the dealer put me in a loaner and said they would call later that day. When they did, the S/A told me that the mechanic couldn't get the Climate Control to fail, so nothing was wrong. I do not recommend the Verano to anyone and will return to buying foreign as soon as my short term lease is up. Enough is enough.
