2016 Buick Verano Premium Turbo

2016 Buick Verano Premium Turbo Group 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

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.

Finally, a small car with a touch of CLASS

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

This car is totally sound proof. It's ride comfort is excellent and the shifting is very smooth.

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.
