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 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!

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.

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.
