Soon there will be one fewer when Buick ends Verano production after this model year to refocus its efforts on small crossovers such as the Encore. This tidiness might be part of the reason that there aren't a wealth of choices in this class. If you need more room, it's best to consider one of the more mainstream midsize sedans that are in the same price range. The Verano is "compact" though, something you'll notice in the backseat, where legroom is tight. What the 2017 Verano no longer offers, however, is the optional turbocharged four-cylinder engine that gave the car some much-needed shove on the highway. With the Buick Verano, GM has delivered an entry-level luxury compact sedan that offers upscale styling, a well-crafted interior, and an impressive list of standard and optional features. When it comes to GM products, just hold on to your checkbook and walk the other direction quickly. Ignore what the Car magazines and websites say.

I would take these cars on a trip rather than our 2015 Malibu. The Honda (188,000 miles) and Toyota (167,987 miles) now over 10 years old have not had a single repair beyond oil and brakes. BOTTOM LINE: Our experiment is over and we will never purchase an GM product. Malibu has similar problems and lack of GM response, just not as bad. If i had a GM dealer fix all of the manufacturing defects that I, and most other owners, have had the repair costs would exceed over $12, 000. The engine is just one of many issues with this vehicle all which are expensive to repair.

Based on a quick internet search is seems this is common and when GM does finally issue special coverage warranty, they seem to only 5% of affected cars or issue it covering low miles to keep the Class Action lawsuits at bay. Now at 82,000 miles uses 2 Qts every 3,000 miles. Being an engineer, this Verano has seen nothing but DEXOs oil from mile 1 and still the engine … consumes oil. For starters, almost all GM engines these days consume oil regardless of maintenance. All have significant issues, but this Buick Verano is the worse. As an experiment over 5 years, we purchased 3 GM products. My wife urged me to consider GM products again since she came from a GM family.
