What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2012 Buick Verano

2012 Buick Verano Available Features: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Love the rear view camera. It has an excellent feature in that the rear view camera stays on the monitor for a few seconds after you leave reverse gear. This lets you pull forward before backing again without losing the rear view. The rear view camera kicks in with very little delay, less than a second after you go into reverse. I do regret the lack of guidance lines on the 2013 backup camera. My first car with rear bumper sensors. At first I found them useless and annoying, but I have learned to use the changing color of the alert symbol as a distance indicator. Heated seats are a pretty common feature in nicer cars now, but the heated steering wheel is a bit unusual and I love it! see full Buick Verano review
