- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2013 Buick Verano is based on the Opel Astra in Europe and can be purchased for under $30,000.00 USD in America. But what's is it like to live with the new Buick Verano? We spend a week driving and getting to know most vehicles that we review and sometimes we discover some unexpected surprises. Here are the top three unexpected surprises of the new 2013 Buick Verano.

$13,229 CAD 8000km Mint 2015 still under bumper to bumper and certified dealer warranty. Best choice I ever made in a beautiful vehicle. Also love the feeling being under the radar in this gem many miss. Got mine. Get yours - dealers want’em off lots. Buick concentrating on SUV market
I'm guessing the radio staying on until the moment you open your door is a common GM thing because my 2013 Chevrolet Spark 1LT does that too
I love that feature
What happens when you accidentally press the on/off engine while driving
Its so close to where the radio is, wouldn't be surprise if many people turn off the car when trying to turn on the radio :/
The radio being on after the engine has been shut off is a common GM trait. Even my 1999 Silverado has that feature, shut the engine off, and the radio and other power accessories will stay on for 20 minutes, or until someone opens a door. Very handy indeed though.
Thanks Roman, on the radio part, I think you can turn it on without the key in the car. I've done it before in our Terrain (i'll check when I get home) so might be able to do it with the Verano. Haven't seen it done yet.
Y'all are my favorite Car Pilots!
Roman, when will you get the Turbo to the Denver area? You tested the Verano Turbo when you were in Louisville,
Roman! The radio thing has been going on in all GM vehicles for a long time. Even my 2001 Pontiac Montana and my 2009 Pontiac Torrent AWD base model have that feature. Love the reviews though!
a 2013 Buick LaCrosse how do I start the car from the fuse box what fuse on and off switch to start the vehicle
Thanks for the comment. We're betting that CZcams will also add annotations to mobile devices at some point.
Does every Verano equipped with the start button as standard?
My father bought a Skoda S100 back in 1976 for my older brother (who was 17 at the time and was a endure motocross champion and loved to race!). My brother tried to modify the engine of that car in order to make it go faster than 80kmph, to no avail. Great engine, but definitely not built for speed... and the inside was very plain; the horn was on the same control stick for the turn signal and it broke constantly.
As for the Lada, we had Fiats instead, 124, 125 special and 132, very good cars.
The radio surprise while it is interesting, has been on GM cars forever lol. My sisters 1991 Buick Reatta had it.
We'd so love to review a Lada, but they are far and few between in the States. BTW: I'm Czech and I'd love to review a Skoda. Same Problem.
My 06 Chevy Malibu does the #1 unexpected surprise too lol.
What happened to the reviewer for tfl car in spokane?
My 2004 Grand Am does that---the radio stays on when you shut it off
All GM had that seems 2003. You could listen to the radio even if the engine is not running. When u open the driver side door the radio automatically turns of. My 2003 Pontiac Sunfire has this feature.
The 2002-2009 GMC Envoy has that turn off the car radio stays on open door radio turns off feature :D
My 2005 ford explorer has that turn off the car and the radio stays on until u open the door really good feature
I wouldn't think the radio suprise is more than there being NO rear leg room available in a 4 door sedan that has got to see at least small family daily or at least occasiional adults as rear passengers duty.
Its Opel Insignia!!! nice car:))
Listen to npr huh? Should just listen to it while the car is running in a closed garage....
That was brutal lol
Square botton or round botton what is the difference???
thats actually a good point, thats whats terrible in nissan/ infiniti the trunk latches are elbowed as in my old g35
How is the fact that the radio stays on an unexpected surprise? Is this really something that cars don't do these days?? My 2001 Buick does!
Even my 1999 Jimmy had the radio feature.
No, not all surprises unexpected. When you are watching a suspense thriller you expect to see the monster pop out of nowhere but you are still surprised when he shows up. That is an expected surprise.
Gooseneck hinges are the bane of my existence.
Are you sure that there are cars that don't have the open door radio off feature?? Ex: Dodge has it too not only Buick.
that push button radio gimmick has been featured in bmw's as early as I can tell, 2004 at least in my '04 330 and '06 323 correct me if im wrong .
SAAB have always done the same with regards to the radio.
What happened to Dave?? Haven't seen him like in a month?
Yup, Skoda build quality is legendary.
Surprises are often unexpected :P haha
Luxury or Performance?
I think that if you are a shorter person, you can probably get away with putting someone under the 6' mark in the rear seat. If I can put one of my 6' friends in the back of a Chevy Metro I can certainly fold them into that back seat.
I like these "Unexpected Surprises" but the trunk hinges are less of a surprise... perhaps you should have made it sound like you weren't expecting to see it on a "premium" brand of car...
When you opened the trunk I thought Nathan was going to be in there.
I regret I ever got a Buick Verano it's like one problem after another God forbid if the indicator prompts saying your AC is turned off because of overheating, it can be so many different things causing that and unfortunately you end up spending all kind of money trying to figure out what is it is, it a blown head gasket, is it the radiator, is it a clogged radiator hose,does the thermostat needs to be replaced, is it your water pump, is it your AC sensor, unfortunately if you take it to any mechanic whether its the dealer, they want to charge you to check all of these and then some before they tell you what's really wrong with it you will be out of $1,200 before you know it if not more
Here in europe is a lot of Skodas. You probably know, Skoda is not what it was 20 years back. It´s actually a Volkswagen, but it comes with a cheaper price. Like spanish Seat. About 10 years back nobody knew what Skoda is in Britain, today is probably better selling car than VW. I expect something similar could happen in USA too, kinda green car. Interesting is the fact how big and rich Russia is, but they still don´t produce a modern car..?
Have you never been "surprised" when you knew it was coming like a B-Day party?
Don't know. That depends on GM.
I expected Nathan to be in the trunk, very disappointing. Maybe you should have a life-size inflatable Nathan you can use when he isnt there or when you travel (take him in your carry-on and hope TSA doesn't want to search your bag).
Those gooseneck rear hinges actually enhance the bodywork quality. Less soldering necessary= less rust= more reliable etc..
The 3rd surprise isn't a surprise to me. My Mustang and F-150 do that when you shut off the engine; the radio turns off when you open the door.
argh I want a 2013 Ford Fusion full review so bad
Owning a 2002 Rendezvous as well as Verano, radio on until door opens - quite standard
no annotation on my iphone; dont forget us mobile viewers we are the future
Center stack ergonomics fail. Rows of similar buttons to include the all-important Engine on/off? I see lawsuits in their future. Also, modern GMs have always had the "audio on until door opened feature". Lastly, NPR? Ugh, unless it's Car Talk.
Where's dave?
waste of time thanks
@William Neumann Me too lol!
Just an FYI, that last unexpected surprise is nothing new. My 1999 cadillac seville and my parents 2001 suburban do the same thing.
I like the Verano but only the turbo model which is hard to find and when you find them, dealers want full MSRP. No thanks. non-turbo model is a slow POS, might as well just get a decked out Chevy Cruze.
No big news hear. O3 Buick Regal keeps the radio on. Roman, do your research.
Arent surpises unexpected? And if you come up with 3...arent they expected?
👍
Fastest I got mine is 102mph
I have a good idea for you guys, you should ask your russian friend Андре to bring you some russians Lada cars and do some tests, check the power and quality. And i was wondering..is Roman russian? hahaha :D
The last surprise a 2003 dodge caravan does...
This car can be purchased under $30 USD ... Maybe $30k ?
Rear leg room wasn't much of a surprise after doing our mashup review: watch?v=1GGgIS9oBbk
This or the Honda Accord EX-L V6?
what is your final choice
Honda
the 1st surprise is not really a surprise to some people
Lost me with "MPR" and the one minute of nonsense before what you call a review starts.
NPR....LOL!!
first
2.4 GM ecotec engine is the biggest POS I ever owned. Bought new and burns oil like a quart every 2 weeks. GM knows about this issue but refuses to recall all cars with this engine. Reason for oil burning cheap Chinese parts piston rings are worn out at 35,000. What a big POS. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A GM CAR. TOYOTA HERE I COME. my son has a Corolla with 350,000 miles and doesn’t burn a drop of oil and has nothing done to the engine but oil changes.
Even Toyota isn't as reliable. Idk why ppl think that.
The first 50 to 60 seconds is a total waste
Big deal man...
I don't know why I click on this video?? Another old farts car.
I would never buy a Buick.
SanDiegoInnOut The Verano non turbo is a great car it goes like a rocket and the non turbo won't have a giant bill when the turbo fails.It could have lower radio controls so you Don t have to strechs to change things on the radio. Power seats should be standard.The moon roof is fabulous. AS TO THE POS COMMENT. That's S!! The Verano is a comfortable easy to operate Fun car
and less expensive than the regal and who cares how quick it gets to 60mph with a Turbo.The Big heads at GM are making a mistake by dropping the line in 2018 They should offer a Convertible and price it under $30k
