2012 Buick Verano Turbo / Komfort

The Verano is a great looking car, with sleek stocky lines. The Buick Verano is a great looking car, with especially great lines. It totally pulls off the wedge look, short-nosed but still sleek. It will be an impressive car to drive around. That's what Buicks have always been, and what they're supposed to be. What's especially impressive about Verano is that it's a compact car. The tachometer and speedometer are gorgeous, elegant in ice blue and easy to read. Digital info between them, easy to read but less easy to scroll through, on the left stalk with push-and-twist movements and access tricks like menus and stuff. The center stack has good buttons and dials, no problem to manipulate or understand. Nice armrests including center armrest that slides forward, but the door pockets might be bigger. Fun can't happen without the right transmission, and the new 6-speed automatic complements the package nicely, being smooth and intelligent. It upshifts sharply at 6000 rpm and beyond. The Buick Verano gets top scores for styling, transmission, cornering, comfort, engine and interior. Price and fuel economy make it a winner. We recommend considering it when shopping for a premium compact, such as a Lexus IS or Volvo S40. for more information visit us at www.jackwilson.com
