Alfredo B

It's a good car and safe and very nice to drive. I like that it also looks more luxury than other vehicles in its class.

I like the body and look of the car. I like the acceleration and smooth ride of the vehicle. I only dislike that the interior paint on the radio console and ac console paint peels off.

Faye I

Smooth and comfortable to drive, perfect for road trips.

Been driving the car for almost 6 years and it never really had any major problems. Smooth and comfortable to drive, perfect for long drives (I used to work 30 miles away from home). It is been exposed to a lot of sun throughout the years since I have always parked it outdoors but the paint still looks new and shiny. The leather interior still looks new as well, it is only been treated once in 6 years. Overall very satisfied with this car.

Mandi D

It is mine and it is red and I make the payment.

Love it and all the options in it and the sunroof and the backup camera. . It needs to have GPS though.

Abby S

Perfect for anyone searching for a nice car.

My vehicle is very comfortable and reliable. I have had hardly any problems with it. I love the heated seats, Bluetooth and all of the features. It has a spacious back seat, and plenty of storage and cup holders. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a comfortable, reliable car.

PHIL g

That it runs good and is good on gas.

Love the color. Love the style. Wish is was larger.

Tia S

Buick verano. Best car ever.

Only issue I have is with the radio. It does not always connect to the Bluetooth. And the oil change is expensive. It drives really well and easy to use. Some keys come with a remote start like mine and it makes life really easy. Very roomy for long trips. Not a lot for gas.

Hayden G

Why the Buick verano works.

No problems, runs incredibly well, never broken down, super comfortable, and nice stereo with Bluetooth capability. Used most often for long drives that are 200+ miles long. No lower back pain or any other discomforts like I have felt in other vehicles on longer road trips.

Susan B

Great 4 door midsize luxury car.

Very comfortable size. Easy to drive. Love the heated steering wheel and seats. Nice sized trunk. Convenient drop down back seat to hold long things in trunk. Very luxurious mocha color. Decorative wheels. Easy in and out. Looks very new even tho it is a 2014.

Don’t Buy - Clear Coat Defect

I do not recommend buying a Verano. I have a 2014 Verano that looks awful due to the clear coat deteriorating. Started in 2018 and the dealership and GM have done nothing to fix the issue. TBuick supposedly came up with a new improved paint and process when they started making Veranos however it isn’t until years later consumers are now seeing the affects. Hood, roof and trunk looks like someone sanded it with a steel pad. 3 different specialist looked at it and all 3 said the same thing however Buick/GM do not want to hear about it. They simply don’t care and if they acknowledge it, it will cost them millions to fix it. I believe Buick began seeing and learning about this paint/clear coat defect in 2016 (because it gradually gets worse and worse and would not have showed any signs until years later). 2016 was always the last production of them. I don’t think that was coincidental either. DON’T BUY!!

The most the most unreliable vehicle

I definitely would not recommend this vehicle. This Buick Verano has given me nothing but trouble since I bought it is a 2014 and I bought it in the same year. I have bought four batteries. The car will not start still after four batteries the batteries were all good after I took them off of the car.Because of the reliability that it lacks I've been late for work my kids to been late for school there are other events that I couldn't attend nor my kids. I've been stuck home with no transportation. I've been stuck in public places such as parking lots or work or school. Nothing seems to work. I have contacted Buick about this problem. I've contacted the dealership about this problem. It seems that they just want to make bigger problems because I refuse to help me out. I have taken about as much of this car as I'm able to take I have a very large amount of patients but they're running dry. I know for a fact that I'm not the only one with this problem. I've even so much as turned it off and immediately try to turn it back on with no result.... Just a dead battery. Nevermind the embarrassment of having to jump your car off with a jumper box or ask somebody for a jump every time I come out of the grocery store every time I leave work every time I want to leave my home. Reliable is one thing this car is not. Pretty, yes. Fast, yes. Roomy for a small car, yes. Reliable, no, never has been. Do I recommend this car, absolutely not if you like to be on time to anywhere.

Tammy M

Lots of trunk space and leg room. So much space for the size of the vehicle.

I love all the extras on it, rear view camera, and especially the remote start!!. My car drives very well and the value of the car versus what i paid, i couldn't walk away from that deal. Honestly i cannot think of anything i dislike about my buick.

Ashley O

Great car until it goes on an 18 hr road trip.

The first four years the car was great even took it on an 18 hour road trip but after that I started having problems, the car began to slow down feel heavy, took it to the shop and nothing was wrong, did a transmission flush but it still had a hard time going over 60 mph. Took forever to get up to 60 mph.

Brian C

It looks nice and handles real well. The trunk compartment is roomy.

I like that I can get a good price from a GM vehicle, but I do not like my Buick Verano. The car is way under powered with a 4 cylinder engine.

Kalynn R

Small, silver Sudan. No tint, dark/black interior with semi fabricated seating.

I am not fond of the interior design of my vehicle. I bought the car in a rush due to urgency of needing another vehicle that is compromised what I wanted. I prefer light interiors. In addition to appearance, the car also does not ride 'smooth'. I have gotten new tires/ tires rotated and there is still a slight pulsing while driving.

Candace F

Buick Verano-not bad, not fantastic.

Lots of issues with the tires going flat. Electrical system quirky, especially when the phone is plugged into the USB port. Not bad for value. The interior is nice end it has a smart interface. It ran fairly well the first year I had it last year however, this past year I have had several problems but the Buick dealership was very professional and easy to work with.

Ryan W

The tire and rim size are very much likely to cause flat tires regardless of how carefully you drive

The Verano is a very nice cars and has a lot of great features like the comfort of the seer, the stereo, Bluetooth, voice command capability, and it's a very comfortable ride. The downside of the Cerano would be the tire size. They are very much likely to be blown-out and having another size put on the car to stop the problem is costly; I blew-out 6 tires in 2 months (and no, I don't drive crazy) simply by hitting a pothole on the highway or road. One of the tires blew out going 20 mph. Also I've had to replace parts on the Verano earlier than with previous cars I've had. They were items like the wheel bearings, things that normally end up being replaced but I had to do it significantly earlier with the Verano versus other cars I've had in the past.

Sydney D on May 10, 2021

Runs great and is highly reliable.

Highly reliable, smooth, and comfortable. Gets about 24 miles per gallon, semi synthetic oil, and is a 4 cylinder car. The menu tells you useful information such as the quality of the oil in your car, your tire pressure, real time gas mileage, and navigation. The entertainment and IntelliLink systems malfunction on occasion. For example, it’ll often say Bluetooth is connect when it is not, and you will have to turn the car off for several minutes for it to work.

Brady C on April 20, 2021

Luxury vehicle made for comfort.

The car drives very smoothly. It is quite spacious and very comfortable. Very reliable and the features within the car are always on point when letting you know if anything is wrong with the car in any area. The stereo system is amazing and has great sound quality as well.

Pros from Owners

Danielle F.

I LOVE this car. My car is fully loaded except for 4 wheel drive, It has all the features, it drives smoothly, it is roomy and it is a beautiful car. I will continue to purchase from this line. It is a great price.

Kristen H.

Many luxury features, drives great, very dependable, good on gas, comfortable, roomy, very nice. Had it for over 4 years and just now replaced a battery. Have not had any mechanical issues other than that.

Mallory A.

Great on gas and has a back up camera and touch screen radio XM radio and several other features. Let's you know when you have had your turn signal on too long also on star. Gives tire pressure. Also has apps you can check gas prices.

Justin W.

Looks beautiful and the way it drives is spectacular. The leather is soft and when is touched up will shine. Plus it is so soft anyways. Gas mileage is pretty good. The features are outstanding and the extras you can add are wonderful.

Cons from Owners

Danielle F.

Nothing. That I will eventually have to replace it one day. I think the style is perfect. I hope they do not change the design. There is not one thing wrong with this car. Nothing that I've ever wished was different.

Kristen H.

No navigation, no cooled seats. If starter button does not work there is no other option to start vehicle. No button on drunk on outside of vehicle, cup holders are close to center console and do not fit 2 depending on size.

Mallory A.

No sensors that alert you when a vehicle is on the side of you. Also it is very small inside not much room for more than 4 people. Radio sometimes does always connect with Bluetooth as fast or through the USB cable.

Justin W.

The leather will get hot. And sometimes will stick. Windows should be tinted in order to help save the leather interior. The back seat is not really that big. I am tall so really there is no room for anyone to really sit behind me at all.

Is The 2014 Buick Verano A Good Value?

The original MSRP for the 2014 Buick verano ranges from around $23,000.00 to just over $29,000.00. I purchased the car used in 2016 for just over $20,000.00. For the premium package (leather/turbo)... Read More

Rachel B.

It is about 24,000 brand new and I think it is a good value and used it is about 15,000 which is also decent

David H.

I do not know the original cost, since I bought it with a trade in with my previous car. I am guessing when I bought it, the price was probably in the $15,000 range.

Joseph C.

I got mine on Carvana for around $13,000-$14,000. With all the features that come with the car I think you pay good for what you get.
