Would Highly Recommend
I went from a 2014 GMC SUV to the Buick Verano. I wasn't even interested in looking at a Buick when my dealership asked me if I was interested in Buick. They took me out to the Verano and I was impressed with the way that the exterior looked. I have to say that it is a sleek looking vehicle and it looks like a luxury sedan, without the luxury price. I then sat inside, and I have to say my first thought was WOW, Buick did a really good job. Now after driving it for a month, I have to say that the ride is pleasurable, it's quiet, the entertainment features are great, and the car is a joy to drive. It's considered a compact car however I feel like I'm driving in a full size sedan. I just don't feel like the car is that small. The interior design and layout is of great comfort and looks very classy. Everyone that has been inside my car says, wow this is nice. Buick really did a great job making this sedan look like a luxury vehicle. My girlfriend jokes with me that I bought a luxury vehicle. The car handles well and I do a lot of city driving and with the help of cruise control when I can use it, I'm getting 27 miles to the gallon in the city. So you can stretch the MPG if you drive sensibly. Overall I have to say that I am happy to be in this vehicle. It certainly feels different than driving an SUV, but I was ready for a switch and am enjoying Buicks Verano.

Solid, Quiet, and Comfortable
I bought my Verano back in 2017, and it’s been very reliable and solid ever since. Quiet, comfortable, and smooth, this car is great on highways for short or long trips, and is equally at home on city streets. The back seat is a bit tight, but this is offset by a large, flat trunk. To me, the only real downsides are the voice recognition (it fails too often) and the number of buttons in the dash (Buick’s newer models have solved that problem with a better interface). Overall, it’s a really good car that rides well and offers lots of comfort. Update: After more than 5 years, the car remains solid, quiet, and reliable, requiring only routine maintenance when needed. Update: After almost 6 years, the car is still solid in all respects. Update: Sold car to get something more updated. Still one of the best cars I’ve owned and recommend for anyone who is looking for a reliable, inexpensive, solid used car and doesn’t need or want an updated look or electronics.

I love my baby Buick!
I went into the dealership planning on buying an impala. Unfortunately I couldn't really justify to myself why I needed that large of a car. So they showed me this Buick and I fell in love! Truthfully at first I didn't think I was going to fit in it. I'm 6'4 so I get very skeptical over vehicle size. I pushed the seat all the way back and was shocked! I couldn't touch the pedals! So on with the test drive. I was averaging 40mpg on the test drive and I was ready to sign the papers before we got back! Now, I've owned the car for 3 months now and I've put 12,300 miles on it so let me tell you what it's like living with it. I took it on a trip (360 mile round trip) and I only used 8.5 gallons. That's 42 mpg! And it was so comfortable and quiet! The interior is holding up well, however if you have the black and gray interior, expect some frustration. Anything on the black materials you touch with turn white. It's like some sort of chemical reaction happens and suddenly you have white spots everywhere. Make sure you don't have an older style iPhone (I have a 4s with THOUSANDS OF PICTURES) as plugging it in will freeze your radio, causing it to stick where it is for about 10 minutes before restarting just fine. Not a big deal, it just gets annoying because you'll never know when it's going to happen. The back seat is just about unusable. Really. Unless you have someone up front who is willing to compromise on a little leg room, it's really too tight back there. I really don't know how the engineers didn't notice this. Once I meet someone with three inch thick legs, maybe I'll understand. You cannot get fast food and expect both the driver and passenger to get soft drinks as they both won't fit into the cup holder at once. This is a pain too. They can, but it's just in the way and they have to be at an awkward angle. Lighted glovebox is something I haven't seen on a car in 20 years, and it's very nice. The car is quick, although it doesn't feel like it. It will get you into trouble because you'll think you're doing 60 when you're really doing 90. But all in all I really do love this car. It's comfortable, economical, powerful, smooth, beautiful (especially in the dark gray I have) and just all around nice! Also I got $7,000 off on the price which swayed my decision a little bit too.

Great Car to Own
Owned the car for over a year now. No problems with it whatsoever. Paint, finish, no rattles, quiet as ever. Love the power of the turbo engine, sad to see that it's no longer available. Like the Sirius availability and OnStar. Accidentally set off the alarm and was notified by them of it and what my options were (a mistake or if needed to be reported). The interior is very comfortable, and the automatic ventilation system works very well. Only wish that it had available the automatic wipers, front sensors, and seat memory features. No issues with the dealership.

Very Comfortable and Stylish Small Buick
I am very pleased with my Verano. I always wanted to step up to a new Buick, and my Sport Touring does not disappoint. The car gives the driver a smooth, comfortable, roomy, solid feel. I just love driving it. The 2.4 L 4-cylinder could use a little more pickup, but it's more than adequate for Long Island highways. I have also gotten a lot of compliments on the styling of the car. I particularly like the Buick design cues, such as the chrome ventiports on the hood and the five-spoke rims. The only major complaint I have is the infotainment system in the center stack...it's a bit convoluted, and not as intuitive as it could be. It took about a month before I was really comfortable using the radio and navigation. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes quite easy. I sat in a new Buick Cascada and the center stack was quite simplified in comparison. The back seat can be a little tight for some, although you get a big trunk in this car. All in all, if you want luxurious comfort and a smooth, controlled ride in a compact package, especially at the end of a long work day in rush hour traffic, you can't go wrong with the Verano sedan. After 3 years of ownership, I know I made the right choice. No major mechanical issues, paint quality is outstanding, and it drives very comfortably and delivers 35 mpg on the highway. A reliable, stylish small Buick that I heartily recommend!

Best value for the money in 2016 for a salesman.
I drive this car about 550 miles per week for work as a route salesperson. It is also my personal weekend car as well. It is extremely comfortable and very competent on the road. I do all scheduled maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. I currently have over 37k miles on it and not a single issue of any kind. I absolutely love this car and I'm glad I chose this over the others that I drove. I feel that for the price I paid I received an excellent value. My only irritation is that on occasion, the car cannot figure out what I am telling it on the in-car voice-controlled entertainment system. I'll ask it to tune XM CNN and it will say tuning XM 47. I'll ask it to play song title Jack and Dianne, and it will say playing I'm the man. A bit more work on voice recognition would have been nice, but it's not a big deal. It usually gives me a laugh when it makes some crazy, not even close, mistakes. I purchased a separate set of rims and tires for winter. This car NEEDS to have winter tires in New England. I wouldn't drive it on all seasons, especially with my territory. I will definitely look at Buick again when I get another car in three years. In my opinion, this is an excellent brand and a great model of vehicle. I feel safe, comfortable, and proud to be driving my Verano.

Very quiet, a surprisingly good ride & value
Just under 60,000 miles and we just replaced the original Continental ContiPro tires and in for first alignment. Each time wore evenly and the ride is back to what it was when it was new. Good tires make one heck of a difference. Mileage remains consistent with 33MPG highway and 30+ combo city and driveway. As it's a direct injection engine it's time for a intake valve cleaning, and we'll schedule this next. Interior, paint, and trim holding up well. OEM battery replaced with an AGM battery and it held up well too. No complaints, reliable transportation, easy to maintain, looks good, and mileage remains good. Amazing the value and deal this car is for what it was sold for. People missed a great buy and GM killed off (in the US anyway) a reliable car. Now 50,000 miles and this car has not been in for a single warranty claim. I have owned Chrysler, Jeep, Chevy, Honda, and Acura and every vehicle had at least one warranty service visit. Except my Verano. Very impressed. Mileage remains good, just had the transmission fluid serviced and car shifts like its brand new. Still comfy and enjoying the car. This a sleeper car that really shines. 6,500 on the odometer now and I have to comment how impressed I am with this car. We would have never bought a Buick, but after riding in one, before you buy something else you need to take this for a ride. Easy to get in and out of, comfortable seats, large trunk, lifetime 30MPG per the OnStar app, no issues at all, well laid out interior, nice fit and finish, and the engine and transmission work well together. We have the Leather group and the keyless ignition is awesome. This car is loaded with safety features, and when you compare to other models, and the price, you can no go wrong. Lane assist, forward facing camera, all the airbags, blind spot monitoring, self-dim rear mirror - all for an affordable price. I drive an Acura, a Jeep, Honda Civic, and another GM product, and this car is THE quietest of all of them. Reliability we'll wait and see, but so far not a single warranty claim. We're in for our first oil change in about 2 weeks, complements of Buick. Someone posted there is no back seat room. I'm 6'4" and I don't need the front seat all the way back to be comfortable, and yes, someone can still sit behind me when I'm driving. Sure, I can push the seat all the way back, but it's not needed. This is no large 4-door sedan, so for the size car we're talking about, the interior room is impressive. Don't pass this model up. You will be surprised as we were. (Exterior color is the upgraded White Pearl, with two-tone brown interior).

My first Buick
I always thought of a Buick as an old mans car.. At 60 which I feel is not old, I bought my first Buick. In my lifetime I have owned about 20 cars. This by far is my best. I loved my old cameo's and my Lincolns the best was the MarkVII, But being in this car is fantastic, My last 4 cars were Lincolns but this is better then those. I have the premium model, plenty of head room even with the sunroof, the electronics are plentiful, and the ride QUIET. I admit the back is a little tight, but I don't have to many trips with a back seat person. .I looked at the Audi , I looked at Honda, but I feel for this one the minute i got behind the wheel. With an outstanding warranty and a dealer who really looks after you.. I will be happy with this car for years to come. A year later, I still like this car. The ride is quit, and handles beautifully.

2016 Buick Verano Premium Turbo
The Buick Verano is a terrific value for your money. I have the 2.0 Liter Turbo and the performance is outstanding. This car rides very smooth, it is stylish and the gas mileage is good. Buick has always been known for a comfortable ride but the Verano turbo is a fun drive, quick acceleration and eye catching. The Premium Turbo model has virtually all that you need in a car. It is dynamic and a GREAT car for the money. It is sporty and drives better than my prior car, an Infinity G37. All I can say is give this car a try if you want a luxury sedan at a terrific value.

The acceleration is less than exciting. The luxury feel is great, a very comfortable ride. The rear window is small and there are some blind spots when it comes to vision. A beauty of a car, still trying to get used to the extra shifting of the 6-speed transmission which sometimes feels a little jerky when trying to set cruise control for a speed that is in between gears. Overall I am very happy with this car, I just wish I had the turbo engine on the sport touring model.

Try driving it and make a left hand turn onto another street. That vertical post ahead of window is a HAZARD. The headrest on passenger seat is also a hazard. Can't look for traffic that is out of range of camera. Otherwise I love everything else about the car. A feeling of luxury, smooth quiet ride at an affordable price

GMC recall letter for frontend problem
Took car to Dealer for this recall problem ( steering wheel not centered and auto drifts to the left.)It still has the problem and even after a test drive, the auto rep said the problem was not their concern.
Among The Best In It's Class
The Verano is based off the same GM platform as the Chevy Cruze Limited, yet it feels like a completely different car. Driving it you feel greater power right off the bat. No, it's not sports-car-Camaro power, but I disagree with the Edmunds review that acceleration's merely adequate. The Verano feels more powerful than either the Cruze Limited or the new Cruze for 2016, possibly because the entire car feel much more solid, thus dissipating less energy in parasitic vibrations. The Verano gives you a sure, solid feeling on the road. An important contributor toward that end is the stark difference in streering and handling between any of the Cruze models and the Verano. The short of it is that the Cruze - particularly the newly redesigned 2016 Cruze - feels incredibly insecure and unstable during fast accelaration or highway speeds, while the Verano is almost the opposite of that. It's steering and handling feel stable and secure, with only a mere trace of lost of control to clue you into the fact that it's built with electronic - rather than traditional mechanical - steering. To take the point further, compared to any of the [now many] Cruzes, the Verano is rock solid. With the handling nicely under control, the suspension provides and excellent combination of road feel balanced against absorbtive comformt. In other words, it handles beautifully, without turning you into scrambled eggs while doing so. The interior is, as you'd expect, at or near luxury car levels. It's quiet and plush. Some might object to the two-tone white-on-black color scheme [Buick calls the interior grey - but it's pretty much white], but that seems to be the thing with luxury cars. The designers of the Verano did, however, make one major mistake. The steering wheel blocks your view of the instrument gauge cluster. No matter how far you tilt it up or down, you're just not going to see the speedometer, nor much else of your guages. Having taken such apparent care with the design of the car, how'd they screw that up? Good luck with speed cops on the road. A more minor issue's one of personal taste. I found the front grill to be almost aggresively tasteless, with Buick taking its vertical design a bit too far. The grill extends upwards and folds into the hood, and it's made of plastic. So, you get a lot of plastic grill in your face everytime you approach your car. Overall, I thought the Verano was very nice small vehicle, that - at least as far as driving impressions go - leaves it's stablemate Cruze well behind and makes the Corolla and the 2016 Civic almost non-competative [especially the almost shockingly crude, cheap-feeling, and sounding Corolla]. The other question is, of course, reliability, and it's only on that measure that the latter two may [or may not - who knows?] have an edge.

Love it....just purchased!
I have been looking for a new car for 6 months ....I test drove a 2016 Chevy Malibu, 2013 Lexus 350, 2015 Nissan Altima, 2015 Acura ILX, 2012 Cadillac SRX, and a 2015 Kia Optima and my Certified Buick Verano by far was the most comfortable, well appointed, sleek looking car for the price of all of these. Very satisfied with my Certified Buick Verano!

German Opel/GM Collaboration Car
I owned the 2016 Premium Turbo model. It was a great driver: fast, comfortable, competent handling, quiet and reliable. The only issues I can fault are the confusing instrumentation/dashboard controls, the mediocre gas mileage, (requires PREMIUM GAS), the poor panel gaps, occasional dashboard squeaks, and the boring styling. Other than those flaws, this was the most enjoyable American car I had owned in decades. (I replaced mine for something with AWD that uses regular gas.) But everyone who rode in Verano compared it favorably to more expensive European sport sedans. If you are a driving enthusiast on a budget and can find a well-kept used turbo with the slick shifting automatic, (I hear the manual transmission isn't very good), and you can live with it's shortcomings, buy and enjoy!
A Car Enthusiast's Practical Compromise
As a lifelong car enthusiast who is now in my early-30s, I've owned several classic cars as daily drivers leading up to my purchase of a gently used 2016 Buick Verano Turbo. It is loaded with nearly every option available and beautiful white diamond tricoat paint. It's the newest car I've owned by nearly 20 years, but it comes after a series of Jaguars and Mercedes that were built with long-term quality in mind, and my experience driving in several modern performance cars as well. I primarily chose the Verano because of its general characteristics coupled with its great price (half of MSRP with only 20k miles and nearly two years left on the powertrain warranty) and am sure that many other people who are looking at them used will also consider the pricing as a major influence... In just over half a year I've put another 14k miles on the car, including two trips up and down the California coast and one from California to Yellowstone that included 2,500 miles of driving in 10 days. My wife and I both love how comfortable and quiet the Verano is, which I expected from the reviews, but there are some little rattles in my car's cabin... For example, the driver's seat belt adjuster vibrates just behind my ear, and something else does similarly in the rear passenger area (might also be seat belt related). The fit and finish is not amazing, as the leather covering the rear seat arm rest fold out is torn along the inside seam simply from tilting it in and out, which makes it harder to do and is also causing the leather to bunch up and wear prematurely. As a driver's car, the Verano Turbo is engaging because it has enough power throughout its range to make it fun off the line or quick about passing. It is confident around twisty roads and urban cornering, which I mostly blame on the 8" wide tires, and the steering is centered but mundane feeling. When cornering hard the rear end can swing out rather easily, which I personally find entertaining and controllable. Hard acceleration at low speeds can lead to the front wheels losing traction and the car bobbing around a bit as well, which is slightly more disconcerting. Over uneven pavement it rattles about more like a typical compact car than a luxury sedan. My fuel economy in mixed driving with lots of highway or country road (55mph) commuting has been a lackluster 26-27mph, which I was expecting but have become disappointed with more quickly than I reckoned, especially since I usually drive the car rather carefully and only put down the power occasionally. The rear seats both fold down to allow me to get things like a bicycle in the back without removing both wheels, and otherwise the regular trunk space has plenty of room for luggage for two, including during that ten day trip my wife and I recently took. The technology is great, as Buick's Intellilink infotainment works easily and assuredly. My Android phone connects promptly and I can stream my music through the Bose sound system, which has a crisp quality but does not get very loud. Comfort and safety options such as the heated front seats, rear camera and parking sensors all create a rather cozy feeling in the compact cabin, which maintains an airy and slightly larger feel due to the light colored leather upholstery in my car. For a while it was everything I wanted in a new car, but as a driving enthusiast I'm already finding the niggling issues with interior quality and overall lack of engagement to have me searching for something more "real" feeling. In hindsight, and true to the numerous reviewer's words from when the Verano Turbo was still new, I think that an enthusiast should consider something like an Audi or BMW that's just a couple of years older with slightly higher mileage. My Verano has been totally reliable and presently everything indicates that it will be for years to come, but for a really great experience sacrifices must be made! I'd rather pay somewhat more in the end to maintain a truly quality automobile, than know that I spent a few years behind the wheel of what is really a compromise in performance and luxury. Because from day one, that's really what the Buick Verano Turbo was and continues to be... A compromise!

Do not over look this 'model
This car may look small. but it has a lot going for it, 4 cylinder is perfect for Florida, since its flat and easy on the gas, navigation is easy to use, as well. Long with Lane Departure and Lane assist.
Love your life
I was driving my 2015 verano on the highway going about 75 MPH in the fast lane. My car just turn completely off like I had ran out of gas, but I had 3/4 of a tank of gas. It was very scary I had a 18 Wheeler driving behind me blowing his horn thank God I was going down hill. I took my car back to the dealer. They did do a free analysis in my car no codes came back. I was told that nothing is wrong with my car. I told them I didn't feel comfortable in my car. They offer to trade my car in with a $7000 depreciation. Which I just bought 7 months ago. I left there feeling like money was way important then my life.

2015 Verano
I am pleased with the performance of my Verano but have discovered an annoying sound that the dealer says is normal operation. Every time I open a car door a sound is activated. I've been told this is the emergency brake activator. I find it hard to believe this is normal and would like anyone else's comments if you've had a similar occurrence.
I Brought A Brand New Lemon
I brought my car from Faulkner Buick in 2015 brand new. These last 3 years were great I had zero complaints except I wished it went faster on take off. Well this past summer starting in May I have had nothing but major problems from this car. Yes I do have high mileage (130000) but I have another car at my home with more miles and I have NEVER had major issues out of that car. Now this Buick is driving me insane!! First I needed a catalytic converter, that was about $5-600, then I needed a camshaft; a belt and timing sensor(I don't know the exact name of these last 2) this was all about $6-700. I get the camshaft+belt+timing thing replaced and pick my car up on a Tuesday in July by Thursday of that same week my car completely stops moving on me while I was on the road. With zero warning the car stopped on me mid drive. I had it towed back to Faulkner where a day later they told me the check engine light was for the transmission. I don't know of any car quitting on someone like this and having a transmission issue. I now am trying to have the transmission replaced but I have been waiting due to the transmissions being on back order. Someone at the dealership said buick was remodeling the transmissions for this particular car (I cant remember the exact word she used) but to me it seems as if this car should have a recall if people are having transmissions just quit on them like this. Yes I have heard of others with this same car having a similar issue. So in a nutshell this car will eventually need a new trans, save your money do not buy this vehicle. You may want to skip buick all together. Due to my high mileage I can't get a coupon or discount on the service nor can I get a courtesy vehicle to use(they claim to not have any although I saw one yesterday) so I'm just stuck with a $3000 bill and no way to get from A to B. Its so sad because I really loved my car but now I currently I have no car, I wished I listened and brought a foreign car :( Update: I keep having random expensive issues the latest has been the blower needing to be replaced. Cost about 800. Its now 5 years old. I've put alot of money into the car because I'm on payments. It will be paid off next year, thank goodness. I can stack those payments for any future repairs I may need. I don't want another buick after all the money I spent. I really was hoping to upgrade to an Enclave but I'm scared as hell that I'll end up in the same situation. Everyone i talk to about my car they have never had such major problems so early in a cars life. So I've come to the conclusion I just have a badly built model. I love my cheap luxury car I wish it would stop breaking down on me but I know it's not. In fact I have to get the gear shift replaced. Its been telling me to put it in park(although I'll be parked), the button I push inorder to move the stick has fallen out. So thats my next expensive project. Wish my pockets luck that I can afford this replacement.

Awesome baby Buick
I find my Buick Verano to be a very comfortable great beautiful car. I call it my baby Buick bc I had the Buick Lucerne but it was wonderful but too large to turn and handle for a little old lady.

Nice and Classy Car
I have 83K on my 15 Buick Verano Leather. The only problem I had was early on with the Radio and computer screen. Warranty took care of that. My Verano is still a good looking solidly built and quality car. Very comfy to drive. We have driven it from Northern Wisconsin to the Florida Panhandle twice and we’re very comfortable. Estimated gas mileage is on par. 27.5 combined and 33 to 34 Highway. The only Item I have replaced is the Tires, everything else is original. If this vehicle was God for bid a total loss. Without question I would shop for another one to buy. 04-12-23 update. My blind spot warning system broke and very expensive to fix. Just the part was $380. A mechanic buddy changed the part out as a favor. But now I need a GM Dealership to put the computer on my car and program the part to make it work probably. Very disappointing. The car is now approaching 94,000 miles and I am still happy with it. Still great gas mileage. Oh and I’m still driving on the original breaks. Update 10/13/23 I purchased an additional vehicle a 23 Chevy Traverse. Part of the closing deal was for the Chevy dealership to turn on the Blind Spot Detection on my Buick. I will turn 101,000 miles today and the car still runs great. I took a long 450 mile round trip on the same tank of gas and got 35.5 mpg. That's Miles vs Gallons at the Pump.

Not worth it
I have been driving this Verano for 3 weeks. Thankfully, it is a company car. I would never buy it. Do not try to put adults in the rear seats. There is not enough leg room. The trunk lid does not open enough. I have to bend way over to keep from hitting my head on the trunk lid...OUCH! When I adjust the steering to a comfortable level, it blocks out the temperature and fuel gauge, and the top of the speedometer. Finally, this car likes fuel for a 4cyl engine. I am averaging 26-27mpg over a combination of interstate and rural US highways. Again, thankfully, this is a company car. Update: Buick no longer offers this vehicle. Thankfully!

Style,Speed, Comfort, and Reliability
I always loved the style of Buick cars. The Buick family were the designers of Cadillac Automobiles before starting their own company. My Verano gets great gas mileage. I drove from Florida to New York City and averaged 379 miles on a tank of gas. Using cruise control as much as possible extends fuel economy. There is ample room in the cabin for five adults. The trunk can easily accomodate two full-sized suitcases plus smaller luggage. I've owned the car three years and have not had a breakdown!

Loving a Buick!!
I LOVE being in a Buick!!! I had a 92 Buick LeSabre for over 10 yrs & it took care of me until last year. Then I went looking for a car & saw the Verano. Test drove the car & fell in love all over again. It's a nice luxury Sedan & compact!! WAY TO GO BUICK!!!

I love this car
I’ve mainly owned Fords in my decades of driving but the 2016 Verano I bought used is a revelation. It has the quietest interior of any car I’ve ever owned and almost the quietest interior of any car I’ve ever driven in save a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. The handling isn’t quite as sharp as a Ford Focus or Mondeo but pretty close. I can safely say no car I’ve ever had has felt more solid. It’s beautifully made. Highly recommended.

PIECE OF [non-permissible content removed]
This is the worst car I have ever owned been nothing but problems since I bought it. Replaced the battery more that 6 times. Taken it to the dealership all they say is a bad battery. After replacing the battery it runs for a few months then it won't start again. Please save your self the headache and do not buy this POS. Buick dealers are crooks they now these cars are crap but are still selling them. That is the reason they are discontinuing the verano. Hope this helps don't waist your hard earned money on buick trash.

Verano replaces aging Lacrosse
Some things are not known, for instance I have not driven this car at night yet. I don't know about the lighting. I have not enrolled in the trial Onstar or XM Radio yet either. For local travel these are low priority. Dealer support is unknown as car was bought at Subaru dealer, and I don't know if I will service it there. It is a long way from our home and there are other qualified dealers (Chevy, Buick and Hyundai) closer. I have used only two of these for previous Buick service. Car has been fine to drive on road and in town. I am satisfied with car so far. I don't think there are not enough categories in this survey. I was very satisfied with dealership where car was purchased. Since I am updating this, my satisfaction with this car has declined due to interior panel rattling at the sunroof. I need to get this back to a dealer for warranty work; I hope they can resolve this issue.

Great First Car!
I have had my Verano for 3 years going on 4 I bought it at 39k miles. So far I have only had to replace the battery, only because the old one had dead cells. Regular fuel cleaning, oil changes, car still runs almost great. I’m at 95k now and it starts every time no issues, a few minor things but so far nothing to worry about. I love this car and it would make someone a great first car the reliability is good compared to most. Definitely was a good decision

Hidden 💎
I bought the 2016 turbo buick verano . Love it stylish sporty. Nice power to it. Steady and unbelievably smooth quite ride. Only issue I have had is the finance company is horrible. Every month aag.auto charges a me a 220.00 extra charge I pay it with current bill and they say I owe it again. They are already charging 5,000 more than the vehicle was even though I had a company already approve me.

The ride is far better than I expected.
I’ve had my 2016 for three years and I have to say it’s been a great car. The ride feels like a much bigger car. The steering is responsive and the engine gives sufficient grunt to overtake on a highway. The mpg isn’t great in the city as I average 17 but on the highway it does 34 normally. I only had one problem and that was a solenoid failure that cost about $150 at the dealer. But the car never failed to get me home. Generally, I love this car. The ride is great.
