Buying the 2012 Buick Verano
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2012 Buick Verano; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2012 Buick Verano, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 106 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, air bags and electrical system.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 9.7 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $150.40. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Inside and out
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The trunk holds 396 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the Verano on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Verano on your commute, then decide. A test week in the Verano tells you more than any review.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $150.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel.
