Overview
The 2012 Buick Verano Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the compact sedan segment. With 3 trims on offer, the Buick Verano has a base MSRP of $22,585, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $25,965, competing directly with the Honda Civic Si Sedan. Meanwhile, the Acura TSX Sedan and the Lexus IS 250 Sedan are also potential competitors with higher price tags. That said, only a 2.4L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting. Together, they produce 180 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.0 seconds, the Verano maintains a combined fuel economy of 25 MPG. Buick offers the Verano in 7 stunning colors, with the Cyber Gray Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.
