Buick Verano: best and worst years

Of the 2 Verano model years with enough complaints to compare, owners filed the most about the 2013 (0.90) and the fewest about the 2014 (0.58), per 1,000 sold in the first three years.

Median across these years: 0.58 per 1,000 sold in the first three years. A model year well above its own nameplate’s median is the signal worth acting on.
