2013 Buick Verano consumer reviews

It is such a pleasure to have my new car. I still turn around in the parkng lot sometimes to just look at how pretty it is. It's very comfortable, quiet (so I can really enjoy my music, which is important since drive a long distance to work), and also very pretty inside. I also like getting good gas mileage (I recently gave up a gas guzzler and the Verano's gas mileage feels great.) I'm getting lots of compliments on the car from friends, coworkers, neighbors. Many of them have said that it is their fist time seeing a Verano, and they are impressed.

I thought I would never be in "my parents" Buick but with the new style ,it is quite sporty and young looking

My Dad always bought a Buick: Wildcat, Regal, Skylark. Then, for a while they seemingly disappeared from the market with the influx of foreign cars. I was searching the web for a stylish new car and came across the Buick Verano. I went for a test drive, and the dealership explained all of its features. It was first class all the way. I received dealer incentives, and the financing through GM was attractive as well. The Verano handles well, has a peppy engine, and good gas mileage. It feels luxurious in all the trim. I love it!

This car is very nice. It comes well equipped as a base model. It is very comfortable and rides smooth. I have 2 young children and it does not leave much room in the backseat but it is manageable. The overall value, comfort and gas mileage make up for its compact size.

The Buick Murano is a nice car however there is no storage space whatsoever in the car you can't put anything anywhere Another major complaint that most people don't see is the passenger seat is not electric standard or optional and it's so crazy how the engineered this. If you're a passenger if you want to move your seat up try to pull on the handle to do that you're sitting in your pulling against your own weight you literally have to get out of the car and put your seat up manually before you get in What kind of engineer would think of something this stupid and why would they not put an electric seat in the passenger area when everything else has one also no storage means why can't you put your sunglasses in the open compartment between the moonroof and the lights in this area that looks like it's made for sunglasses It's got great safety features including a blind spot detector so you won't hit somebody when you switch lanes and backup camera None of these things that I have put in this summary is been fixed in 2014 but I hear they've added a front camera for better safety features which they're great now. When you pay for a lecture he model that even has a heated steering wheel that you believe that you should have the passenger seat electric automatically you should have space for the driver to have items in his car where the passenger and if you see that upper headliner like my Toyota Camry the same area they have nothing in his were my sunglasses fit in the Camry it seems like they're not worried about you having any storage room everything else is great . Got a great price cause it was the end of the year which included a $900 Moonroof and a 800 navigational radio I was going to buy anyway. This is basically the entire features but they came out into thousand 12 still about fix the passenger seat and there still is no storage space especially the Consul and in the middle. It only put things in the door panel at the bottom of the door not a lot of room there

suggest you test drive the car and make your on decision that what sold me. The acceleration is awesome, the seats are comfortable and the sound system is good.

Have had this car just 6 months. This is the second time that it has stopped while we were driving it. The first time was on a highway, thankfully low tracffic flow. Today was in a parking lot. Just stops won't start. Have taken it by tow truck to the dearlership and they can not find any reason for this to happen. Anyone have an idea would love to hear it. In the mean time do not feel safe driving this car. Otherwise, great looking car, comfortable great mileage.

Replacing a Pont. Bonneville that was great and lasted 183k miles and was still ready for more. Decided to replace it and went for the Regal or the Verano. Wanted equal power as the Pontiac so we went for the Verano Turbo. If you buy one and you should, be sure to get the Turbo because it makes passing on those lonely two lane highways no big problem anymore. We love it so far and will have to see if it can get the 30 mpgs on the highway(which is what it claims). Check with me in about a year and I can give you a better Review. By the way it uses Regular gas and costs less than 30K $$$$$$$$$$!

Since my review of 7/13/13, a new problem has happened. I was returning home from an errand yesterday when the following happened. The outside temperature was 82 degrees. I had my climate control set to 72 degrees (my normal setting), when all of a sudden, the cold air stopped and hot air started blowing like the heater was turned on. Since I was only 3 blocks from my dealer when this happened, I went directly to their service bay. The Service Adviser came out and I explained the problem. He got into the car and acknowledged that it was happening. The Service Mgr happened to be walking by and also acknowledged the problem. The Service Adviser sat in the car for about 5 minutes and the car started blowing out cold air again. I got back in the car and pulled out of the dealership and the cold air stopped and hot air again started blowing again. I pulled back into the dealership. They put me into a loaner (a 2013 Verano) and said they would call me later that day. My loaner with the Climate Control set to 72 degrees worked perfectly. Later that day, the Service Adviser called me and said that they couldn't duplicate the problem and therefore nothing was wrong. I reminded him that he acknowledged the problem and was told that the mechanic couldn't get the system to malfunction. As a side issue that happened at the same time, while the Service Adviser was testing the A/C, an extremely loud noise started coming from the front of my car. He got out of the car and opened the hood. A mechanic walking by said "we've had several complaints about this, but it's just the cooling fan. It's very loud, but there's nothing wrong with it". All this reminds me when it was a standard ritual to take your American car to the dealership with a problem. It's interesting that with the foreign cars that I've had over the years, the only time I went to the dealership was for oil changes and tire rotation. Not so with this Buick. So, I will suffer with this Verano until I can get out of it and return to being a foreign car advocate.

I'd never bought a car with an automatic transmission and had steered clear of Big 3 cars for years. Two VWs and three Saabs later, I thought I'd give it a go, reasonably sure I wouldn't like it. Used to European certainty, I don't think the handling is quite as good as other reviewers, but handling has never been great in US or Asian cars. Don't get me wrong. This is quite good. The ride and noise levels are also very good too. Where this car really excels to me are automatic transmission performance, comfort and interior quality & design. Nearly all the rental, parental and other cars I've driven over the years have had horrible automatics. This one inspires confidence. When I first sat in it (and in the 6,000 miles since), it felt really good. I've always thought American and Asian seats were too mushy. This one isn't European, but it's still fantastic. GM used to really cheap out with interior materials, only looking decent compared with Yugo. The interior quality is great and the design and layout are very intuitive and beautiful. The only things I really don't care for are the exterior design (who cares? you're either sitting in it or away from it) and the climate control putting on the a/c in humid situations in warmer weather--no override. If you got wet, you have two choices: much too cold (a/c) or much too hot (putting the temp to the hottest setting to avoid cold a/c). While the later is annoying, it isn't a deal breaker. I love this car the same way I loved my first Saab. That's a lot.
