Used 2013 Buick Verano for Sale

Like the Chevrolet Cruze, the Verano offers an impressive 10 standard airbags: front, side, curtain, front-seat knee and rear-seat side. It also has OnStar telematics. Further elevating occupant protection are ABS, traction control and stability control. Meanwhile, the new standard backup camera helps rearward visibility, and the available blind spot and cross-traffic warning on the top-trim models provides additional peace of mind.

Acura TSX: The TSX is a more able handler than the Verano. Although the Verano's steering system might be more responsive, the TSX enjoys better overall dynamics for a sportier feel. The TSX also benefits from more power, stronger acceleration than the non-turbo Verano and a longer list of high-end features. The Verano wins when it comes to ride comfort and quietness.

Audi A3: The A3 offers sharper handling than the Verano and is also more practical because of its hatchback body style. But the Verano offers a plusher ride, less road noise and more front-seat passenger room.

Infiniti G: The Infiniti G is more athletic than the Verano and has a richer array of content. But the Verano offers a quieter and softer ride.

Lexus IS: The Lexus IS is more refined and upscale than the Verano. Although the Lexus is not as performance oriented as others in its class, it still offers more power and acceleration than the non-turbo Verano. Both vehicles offer a ride that's comparably quiet and compliant.
