The 2014 Buick Verano |
Since Michael's drive, there's been an addition to the Verano lineup that erases most of those concerns. The 2-liter turbo engine.

More to the point for an enthusiast---though our test vehicle didn't have it---the turbo Verano is available with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Base price for what our window sticker calls the Verano FWD 1ST, but Buick's consumer website calls the Premium Group, was $29,065, and it comes with a long list of standard equipment. Click here to see it on Buick's website.

Using Chevrolet's consumer site's build feature, you could load a top-of-the-line Cruze with every available option and still spend three thousand dollars less. So the price disparity is still what it was when Michael wrote his review. But the 250 horsepower in the 2-liter turbo is transformative. It elevates the Verano to a different type of car despite its common roots.
