I think color is an exciting detail, it is an electric blue.
My car is a 2015 Buick verano, it is an electric blue like color with grey interior. It has an awesome radio and speaker system. The car has no mechanical issues and drives great. It comfortably fits a family of 4 with a big trunk, lots of room for groceries.

It is a reliable, attractive sedan that provides great fuel mileage.
The Buick Verano is a great entry-level luxury sedan. It averages 27 mpg with combined city/highway driving and 35 mpg on the highway. It is a smooth riding vehicle that is easy to park and maneuver, and the interior is comfortable and features an easy-to-read and functional instrument panel.

Great Family Car, 5 Stars
I think my Verano is a great vehicle. I have not had any major issues with it in anyway. I have practiced strict maintenance schedules and have taken care of the car. The interior and exterior of the car are very modern and look great. It came with all of the features I wanted.

The ability to be able to have a smooth ride.
My vehicle in overall is a great vehicle to have. Not only have I barely had any problems since buying the vehicle but, I haven't had to do any further work on the vehicle besides routine work such as oil changes, or routine fluid changes. This vehicle drives well, and allows you to feel absolutely nothing when driving.

I live my Buick verano more than my BMW.
I love my Buick verano. I have the very basic package but the interior is extremely cushy and comfortable. It is an incredibly quiet ride with a great sound system. I find it very enjoyable to ride long distances and open highway drives. It is very easy to maneuver and park in the city as well. It has been very reliable and dependable. I love the shade and color of the navy blue exterior and the gray interior. It is easy to maintain and has had all work at the dealership. I would love to purchase another and am very disappointed Buick has discontinued this car. I will drive this one until she dies!

Major engine failure
The 2015 buick verano has a plastic tensioner which controls the timing chain. Yeah great design. After 3 yrs the tensioner broke and cracked the head. The engines are 3-4,000 $$$

I would not recommend this vehicle. Had multiple issues with one sensor that caused customer service to get involved before it was fixed. Now at 72,000 miles, it's burning oil, not leaking. Will see what the shop say next week.

Good car, electrical system sucks.
It is a good car but the electric system does not always work right. The Bluetooth also does not connect right away all the time and it is frustrating and the collision assist is squirrelly, too. I also dislike the radio in it as well and the way to change the clock is confusing too.
accountCircle Marilyn C
Car runs fine and no major issues but it has some weirdness to it.
I have had weird technical issues with the vehicle. No major engine problems but I have had issues with sensors. My front drivers side tire has been changed several times and the sensor goes off at least once a week. Randomly the car gives me an alert that it is overheating. I have taken it to mechanics and they cannot find anything wrong with it.
accountCircle Maggie B
Nice car but too many blind spots to drive safely.
It is a really nicely designed car except for the windshields. There are larger blind spots in the Buick than in other vehicles I have driven. Because I live in an area with lots of pedestrians it is pretty dangerous to drive the Buick. It performs nicely and is a comfortable car to drive. The heated seats are really nice, especially in the winter time.
accountCircle Brian C
Engine efficiency could be a concern.
Overall the car runs smoothly and well but there is a distinct lag in engine efficiency when the oil is close needing attention. Almost a full thousand miles prior to the recommended service period the vehicle begins the strain to operate efficiently.
accountCircle KATHERINE J
Gas Mileage is extremely important to me, as well as being able to see out of all the windows.
The first Buick Verano I purchased was a Lemon. The reason I have the 2015 Verano is because approximately a year later I had to go in and finally argue my way through getting another vehicle, which I still had to put another $2000 towards it.

Air bag issues with Buick verano 2015.
Constant issues with passenger airbag. Dealer has 'fixed' it twice and it's still screwed up. For that reason alone I am not sure that I would ever by another Buick vehicle. Airbags should be covered by warranty regardless of how old the vehicle is since it is a safety feature.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Courtney G.

I love that the Buick has Seat warmers and a heated steering wheel because I am quite cold natured. Driver and passenger can also each control the temperature of air directed toward them. There's a backup camera which I find very useful and the Verano gets great gas mileage.

likeFilled Debora W.

It is roomy and quite stylish. The OnStar feature and mobile app are very helpful. The trunk is extremely large and I am able to fit so many large items in it as well as let the back seat down, if needed.

likeFilled Madison M.

It has very little issues and the inside is very spacious and modern. There is also a touch screen in the front of the car where you can control the radio, connect your phone and organize contacts, music etc.

likeFilled Miz F.

It is an affordable vehicle made in the USA. It is comfortable and comes in several trim levels. It gets very good gas mileage and has many amenities including lane departure warnings and front end collision warning.

likeFilled Nathan D.

The positives for my 2015 Buick verano are comfort, gas mileage, backup camera, Bluetooth touchscreen radio, digital speed, OnStar, 4 doors, leather seats, luxurious steering wheel, and power windows.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Courtney G.

One thing I have noticed, which has also occurred in a friends Buick Verano of the same year, is that the front outer panel of the vehicle wants to pop out of place where it connects with the two side panels above the front tires which is extremely aggravating.

dislikeFilled Debora W.

There are no cons that I can think of other than the gas mileage. I considered the hybrid Regal but it is too small. Oh, and I wish it had a GPS system included in the dashboard and OnStar was free for more than three months..

dislikeFilled Madison M.

The seats are grey so they are very susceptible to stains, and I have found that I have a few issues with the tires every now and then. Other than that it is a very nice car... Cons can be fixed by replacing tires and the interior so it is very minor.

dislikeFilled Miz F.

I have had nothing but problems with the passenger air bag indicator constantly going off saying there is a problem with the airbag. Have had it 'fixed' by 2 different dealers and the problem is still there. Very disappointing. Especially now since the warranty is up on the vehicle.

dislikeFilled Nathan D.

The cons for my 2015 Buick verano are horsepower, very expensive oil change, 4 cylinder engine, no heated seats, no sunroof, not a full view of hood, no blind spot warnings, and it is low to the ground.
