The 2013 Buick Verano Turbo

The 2013 Buick Verano Turbo exists as a testament to this company’s ability to manufacture speed and agility that is packaged in a smooth, comfortable, and compact design. The sales numbers have also strengthened the Verano’s case, allowing this vehicle to pull ahead of the Buick Regal when you look directly at the numbers. Buyers are most likely to enter into this deal based on the appeal of the turbo-charged engine. This component gives the Verano the ability to deliver a smooth 250 horses, a nice little mark up from the previous 180 that was being achieved by its predecessor.

There are plenty of things that the Verano has going for it that are not standard design for its basic platform as it has been seen in the Chevy Cruz or the Acura ILX. The Verano gives buyers the option of a manual six-speed transmission at no extra cost should the six-speed automatic not be to their liking. It is little improvements such as this that make the Verano a good buy. While none of the improvements are ground-breaking, the difference is enough to make buyers take notice. The new engine has shaved down the time needed to go from zero to 60 mph, and this advance is especially noticeable in the automatic version with its 2.4-liter capacity.

The sports car feel is always present, however, the raw capability that would come with engineering a vehicle strictly based on those kinds of ideals is lost in design to accommodate for a quieter, smoother ride. The suspension is obviously well-cushioned , and the motion that would sway one’s opinion on the ability of the car to perform nimbly are muted as well. The only area where there is no discernible change over the past models of this vehicle are in the braking and the steering specifically. Buick also choose to stick close to home in terms of exterior styling. The rear spoiler, dual-exhaust tips, and stylized badges are all familiar elements.

This 4-door Sedan sounds just as good when you look at purely on paper. It is a five-seater that boasts of a intercooled, DOHC 16-valve, inline 4. It relies on an aluminum head and block and a direct fuel-injection system. Starting at just under $30,000, the Verano comes pretty heavily loaded, making it stiff competition for the Ford Focus and the Subaru Impreza. There has been considerable effort when it came to choosing the materials that went into creating a luxurious interior, however, Buick did not go overboard in terms of utilizing materials simply to push up the MSRP. The interior also does good things for this model by maintaining an atmosphere that is relaxed and completely isolated from road noise.
