Tacky fuel-guzzler not what I expected - 2013 Buick Verano
By bigbaddave - March 12 - 9:21 amWe already have an Enclave, which we like, so when my wifes old Cavalier was damaged in a crash we didnt hesitate to go for the Verano. And what a mistake that was. Like the Enclave the Verano is a heavy auto for its size that guzzles fuel and unlike the Enclave, it doesnt make up for it in other ways. The dashboard knobs feel cheap and require more effort to press than the Enclave. The green-white information screen looks like a two-tone video game from the 1980s. The engine sounds like a lawnmower. I test drove the version with the more powerful engine and didnt notice much difference. The view from the back isnt great. I must say this vehicle is a real disappointment.

Update of 7/13/13 review - 2013 Buick Verano
By ohheck - July 24 - 10:20 amA new problem since my review. 3 blocks from my dealer, the Climate Control quit blowing cold air and started pumping out high heat like the heater was on. I pulled into the dealer, the Service Adviser acknowledged the problem as did the Service Mgr. The S/A got the cold air working again, so I pulled out of the dealership and the cold air quit again. I returned and the dealer put me in a loaner and said they would call later that day. When they did, the S/A told me that the mechanic couldnt get the Climate Control to fail, so nothing was wrong. I do not recommend the Verano to anyone and will return to buying foreign as soon as my short term lease is up. Enough is enough.

interior noise - 2013 Buick Verano
By wmhgh - July 16 - 8:29 pmI thought "Luxury" meant quiet. The road noise is unbearable. I took it back to the dealer and they had me drive another one. Same thing. It sounds like youre driving with the door half open. Very disabbointing

interior noise - 2013 Buick Verano
By wmhgh - June 11 - 9:16 pmthe ambient noise level coming from the doors and windows is disappointingly loud. I wrongly assumed that "luxury" meant quiet. WRONG. Before buying/leasing a Verano, take it up to 70mph and listen to the road noise.. Its lousy
