Very comfortable interior.
Wonderful car at a great price. Comfortable with many advanced features that you would not expect. Very reliable and have had very few issues with it. I would definitely purchase again if presented with the opportunity. I like the comfort. Only downside is the engine. Not very powerful but still very smooth.

It is easy to drive and has fantastic gas mileage.
I enjoy that it is a luxury vehicle without the luxury price. I like that it has very good gas mileage. It is easy to keep up with.

The leather seats, heated seats and steering wheel are a great on cold mornings.
This is a luxury vehicle at an economical price. Very comfortable, roomy, easy access to accessories. Great gas mileage. All in all a great vehicle at a very economical price. Makes a great family car. Lots of “extras”. I love the heated seats and steering wheel, great to have on those cold na mornings.

Very reliable car. No problems.
It is a very reliable vehicle. It has only been in the service department for scheduled oil changes. You should have no problems with this kind of vehicle. I would buy another one without hesitation. Buick is a reliable car manufacturer. Thanks for listening.
accountCircle Hannah F
Not the best winter vehicle.
The biggest problem with the vehicle is that it is not made for any type of severe weather conditions. It is not a very convenient vehicle if you live in areas that deal with snow. A benefit is that this car is perfect for long distance commuting for work or expressway driving.

Very good reliable vehicle.
This is a really great vehicle, it has a touch screen radio, Bluetooth, heated seats, electric seats, also a sunroof! It is great on gas mileage and it even tells you when you need to get your oil changed. It tells you your tire pressure, it has digital speed, and it tells you your fuel range. It also has a rear camera. It is very reliable. I haven't had any issues with it and I have had it for over a year. Very good vehicle.

It is visually appealing and fun to drive. Buick verano.
It is overall a great vehicle. Haven't had any problems with it. Drives and rides very good. Cabin features are located in convenient places. Bluetooth capable. It is a really great car for the price. I would recommend Buick to everyone. Like any other vehicles if you do preventive maintenance it will last for a long time.

Worse car ever . Engine problem ! My Buick Verano 2016 is not even 4 years old and it is the first Buick car that I have

This car is not meant for families or large people
It is too small for us. Not very much trunk space. Awkward getting in and out.

Pros and Cons of a Buick Verano.
Problems only began to occur once the warranty was out but still it's never been anything major. Gas mileage is wonderful and it rides really well. My biggest complaint is the size of the interior. It is perfect for someone who does not have children. Once you begin to have children you run out of room. The back seat fits two car seats with no room for bags or anyone else to sit.
accountCircle Tracy S
It used to be for old people but with the technology they're trying to make it appealing to younger people.
The technology is good but I hate the leather seats, the feel of it, and the fact that it's an automatic.
accountCircle Frank G
Do not buy American vehicles. The Buick Verano was good-looking. From the outside.
Will not lease another one because foreign cars are more reliable. Had cooling issues along with trouble on side door. Engine was loud especially while in park waiting at places parked. Prefer the Japanese vehicles as they are much more quiet. Those are main issues.
accountCircle Lisa B
4 years old and not one problem with this car.
My Buick is very comfortable and very reliable. I wish that I would have gotten more options instead of the base model. I love the heated steering wheel it is an excellent feature as well as the heated side mirrors. I have not had any problems with this vehicle and it is four years old at this point. Regular maintenance and it just keeps running and running and running. I would definitely buy another. I would definitely buy another Buick verano in the future.
accountCircle Shay M
Nice little car, but it does not have Bluetooth.
Haven't had any problems with my vehicle. For it to be small it has a lot of power. It a nice car for a small family or just for one person not made for a big family or for someone big. As I said before it is small. It has USB so you can listen to your music while charging your phone but it does not have Bluetooth.

Black Buick verano 2016 cozy.
It's a good car I like it the only thing is it's hard to delete old phones on the radio. It's really good on gas it takes like 17 to fill. The car is pretty cozy the only thing I think the backseat needs more leg room. If the backseat were bigger I think the car would be 100% to me my opinion.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sarah C.

Heated Seats. Heated Steering Wheel. Leather Seats. Sunroof. Dual Climate Control. Bluetooth. Sirius XM. Rims. Beige with Gold Flake Color. Drives Well. Lots of Trunk Space. This car is extremely nice, it drives and feels like a sports car but is very roomy up front and has plenty of room for groceries or golf clubs or luggage in the back, I would recommend it drives very well and has all the amenities.

likeFilled John P.

The compact Size, its gets great gas mileage, has been super reliable for me, amazing comfort features in seats, has an amazingly smooth ride, handles super well in all conditions, almost no outside noise.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sarah C.

The back seats do not have very much leg room, it would be tough to get two full sized people back there if you needed to. It did not come with floor mats which is annoying because I have to vacuum grass and dirt out of the carpet all the time. The heated steering wheel is only hot in some spots and does not get as hot as I would like. There are not very many other cons with this vehicle though it is quite a nice car.

dislikeFilled John P.

Could be better on gas mileage, has some really questionable blind spots, does not do well in heavy snow. Needs to have smart systems checked every 50k miles. Oil changes in any city is going to cost about 80-100$.
