New Model Overview

 One of the best features of 2015 Buick Verano is its quiet and relatively comfortable interior. This year's model haven't changed much, it kept all the great features from last few years, but it also comes with a few disappointing updates like ventiports. Verano also kept its bad fuel economy and slow acceleration.

Exterior 

Ventipoints on new Verano are the prime styling mistake for most online reviewers. Other than that most people like this model's curvy shape, long roof and headlights much smaller than we can see on other Buick sedans.

Interior

Interior is designed in two tone theme. It looks modern and elegant, and even little bit too futuristic for a Buick. It has really good soundproof, so passengers can hear even whispers while driving on Daytona 500. Front seats are supportive and offer plenty of leg and head room. Whole design is similar to the one we can is in Chevy Cruze, but Buick gave much more attention to detail while making this model. Verano also comes with spacious backseat and trunk area.Verano also offers some good deals when it comes to additional features. There are a lot of ways to make your Verano premium, but it will affect its price a lot. With all the extra features Verano can cost even $10,000 more. There are all kinds of goodies in this offer from: from heated seats and side mirrors, rear parking alarm, Bose surround sound, power driver seat and the finest leather trim you can imagine. In the basic package you get: USB port, rear view camera, power locks start and mirrors, satellite radio, CD player and cloth upholstery.

Turbocharged Buick Verano

Performance

This is the most disappointing segment in 2015 Buick Verano package. It is undoubted that this car is offering some appealing looks, comfortable and even premium interior, but it really failed when it comes to power, acceleration and fuel efficiency. It comes with much larger engine than Chevy Cruze, but it goes from 0 to 60 mph in 8,6 seconds which is  just a little bit better then Cruze and similar to Acura ILX, which also failed performance section with its 2015 model.2015 Buick Verano comes with 2,4 liter four cylinder engine that can deliver 180 horsepower and six speed manual gear box. Much sportier is turbo-charged version that comes with 2,0 liter engine that delivers 250 horsepower and the same amount of torque and can reach 129 mph, which is quite good comparing to other turbo-charged compact sedans.

Price

Verano is quite affordable, although it offers some border luxury features, especially when it comes to interior. Basic package costs around $20,000 (MSRP) which is definitely a fair game, comparing to other vehicles in its class.

Chevy Cruze

Other Possible Options

Biggest rival of Buick Verano is always going to be Chevy Cruze. They share the same platform and really look a like. Verano offers much more comfortable interior and slightly better acceleration, but other then that it is like talking about the same vehicle.

Statement

Like with other compact sedans, this is more of a family or business than car the delivers some kind of powerful statement. If you however want to buy one of these for yourself and think this car will make you cool, you are definitely wrong. This is an average car, for an average bloke, with an average salary, home, life etc. On the other hand this can be taken as a positive feature too, since people will give more attention to you than to the car you drive... Or wait, maybe that's bad.

It was really hard to find a photo with hot girls and Buick Verano, so I give you Chevy Cruze instead, photo I found on Chevy Cruze Forum.

  

What Do Girls think About It

One friend gave a good guess when she said it looks comfortable, after seeing only the exterior photo, so I guess that means we are talking about really comfortable car. She also said it looks calculated and a little bit too plain. On the other hand our expert from the States said that this can definitely be a project car and that an old fellow can pick up some good looking girls, just with driving one of these around the neighborhood. The third girl said that this car looks really cute that she wouldn't mind getting it as a birthday present.
