Don't Get 18" Wheel / Tire Package - Many Blowouts
WatsonBryant, Wyoming, MI, 05/18/2016
2013 Buick Verano Leather Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Power from 4cyl engine is semi-good...interior is nice and Buick has upgraded the car significantly from the Chevy Cruze - design, details, interior. CAUTION! DO NOT GET THE 18" WHEELS / CONTINENTAL P235/45R18 PACKAGE!! EASY TIRE BLOWOUTS and tires are ruined (sidewall damage) and not repairable...have to replace at $190 per tire / per time...an average pot hole or minor bump can … unbelievably ruin a tire...this combo of low aspect wheel and tire on a Verano may LOOK good, but totally unusable on real world roads. I've blown 2 front tires in 6.300 miles - I know another Verano owner with same wheels / tires that has blown 3 of these tires in 31,000 miles...and Continental is no help! Shame on Buick engineers for allowing this tire / wheel package out on the road! If you are getting a Verano - go for standard 17" wheels and higher aspect tires - should work better.
2013 Buick Verano - Leather Group - Mocha Bronze

2013 Buick Verano Leather Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
After reaching 240,000 miles on my 2000 Chevy Silverado, I finally decided that I would move on to another car.
I had many vehicles I could choose from, and I really liked my daughters new Chevy Cruze, but after several drives of more than 300 miles, the seats were just not cutting it for me.
After many test drives, and anguish over options, I finally chose the Buick Verano for my daily … 32 miles each way trip to work.
It has not dissapoionted as long as I remember to evaluated the car for what it is.
It has plenty of room and easy to drive, while I noticed the some had made comments about the noise, I find that one of the nicest features and get many comments on how quiet the car is.
We STILL LOVE this car!

2013 Buick Verano Leather Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
We purchased a new Verano with the Leather Group package and some additional options including nav. It has ALL the bells and whistles except the turbo (which I didn't want).
The base engine (2.4) has sufficient power - the six speed transmission shifts super smoothly - the handling is outstanding - and this is the quietest car we have ever riden in! The Bose music system is … incredible!
The rear seat handles our 6' 2" grandson but the leg room could be improved. The car gets good all around gas mileage in the mid 20's and really good mileage on the highway (low 30's). And it's a looker too!
Ours has the Pearl White paint and we have received many compliments on the car. I really like the waterfall grill and the chrome accents really dresses it up. Our neighbor assumed it was a BMW. I told him it was better! This car is actually FUN to drive! It is so easy to get around town and to park. It is a Goldilocks car - not too big, not too small - it's just right. The trunk room is huge.
The only things we would change if we could would be to add a little more rear seat leg room, however, if the front seats are not pushed back all the way, there is enough room. The seats, front and back, are very nice and comfortable. The front seats are electric except for the back adjustment which is manual. Don't know why they cut that corner. The front nose of the car could be made about an inch higher to better clear stop bars and curbs. I know they keep it low on newer cars for aerodynamics and fuel savings but I think a little more height would be appropriate.
We have really enjoyed this car over the past four years. We have had NO problems with it in any way!
Buick Verano great car

2013 Buick Verano Leather Group 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
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.
