Buick Verano 2012 Test Drive & Car Review with Emme Hall by RoadflyTV

[@MugatuJag]

Awesome review, and these are actually really good cars, especially on the used Market. They are rated as having near-perfect reliability, they look up market, and still look fresh today

[@jeffj318]

I know the video is from 2012, however, I just watched it now in 2018. Such a great video and so much fun to watch. Kudos to you Emme. I might even watch it again and again. Love the quiet ride of the Verano which is what I am looking for.

[@MugatuJag]

Emme is so awesome, she needs to start her own channel, had she done so back in the day she would have a million subscribers, she is genuine, knowledgeable, and just seems like fun.

[@BernardBorel]

Obviously all of the people who are critical of this vehicle in these comments have never seen this in person. The Verano is quite a remarkable car. Looks, technology are really nice and it is quite refined. It seems we still have a bunch of American car manufacturer haters in this audience. Grow up, support your country and by American. Its not the 80's.

[@Ernie1990]

People are seriously griping that this is "slow"? It's a 4-cylinder family sedan, not a race car. An 8.2-second 0-60 time is sufficient for most commuters and frankly, that's pretty quick for a car that only has 180 horses lugging 3,300 pounds around.

[@AlternativeUses]

You shouldnt underestimate this car. It was a finalist in the motortrend car of the year competition. Its about the last segment i would shop but at least i can see myself recommending this

[@The93454]

Love the energy i recently bought a new car but i still watch your videos for fun...

[@wtrdogg20]

Emme, I love your reviews!! Very complete and entertaining!! I remember back in late 70s early 80s, when my dad had a 1967 Buick Skylark, with the rear wheels covers, I wish I had that car now to mod it.. That V8 engine was amazing!! May be thats why I still like Buick, especially the new models. Greetings from Panama!

[@TrishHill-d7y]

I have this same car which I bought brand new. Love it and have had minor issues. Review is right on, thanks Emme.

[@JaquieSmiles]

Thank you for making auto shows that much more palatable! I watch your reviews in cars I wouldn't even consider cuz you're so much fun! Keep it up girl!!

[@EricMParkerson]

Emmie Hall, you are so fun and informative. Your whole team says the information I want to know and you guys are to the point and accurate. GREAT JOB!

[@WhoIsNickL]

She has so much energy and I love her personality!! Plus all her reviews are entertaining!

[@socalguy97]

Emme--you're awesome. Best reviewer I've seen on Roadfly. And I love the car!

[@Barobran92]

Emme you are by far the most entertaining and car reviewer I've seen, and the facts about the engine were quite interesting!

[@Bankai021]

first time I saw a review from you, great personality, kept me interested, keep it up!

[@mercracer24]

Nice work Emme! Your reviews are always fun and entertaining.

[@DaddyIvo]

Enjoyed the review young lady! Keep up the good work! This Verano looks good.

[@camshaft53149]

just got one of these for my grandparents and they love it so far. it rides really nice fun to drive great mileage, wish i would've drove this before i bought my mazda3!

[@jewricanboy]

As a GM Dealer I truly enjoy your laid back customer review

[@roadfly]

David, you are 100% correct. We aren't living in the year 1990. This is 2012. There are truly no bad cars these days. There are only degrees of good and very good. Cars compete more at the system level or feature level. For example, GM created the best start stop technology in the industry. Nobody else even comes close. BMWs is probably the very worst. There are a handful of folks that refuse to believe this because they so badly want to believe that Germany > America. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

[@RainbowTy]

Very exciting review!! You're the best!

[@3656761]

I've seen a lot of these in my area...must be selling well. It looks way bigger than a Focus or Civic. Pretty classy looking.

[@truknayr23]

Agree... it is really shameful when reviewers tend to be very friendly towards every car... failing to mention things that the cars are particularly bad at...

[@mnguevarra]

no matter what other say, Emme you still rock!!!!!

[@knack0125]

Exactly!!! I know GMC/Buick dealers are renovating their dealerships and improving customer service (minus the one we bought our Terrain from) but that is just my family's preference for a car brand/company. I personally think we can add vehicles to the 4 brands from a partnership like that, if it happened, and make the 4 core brands in GM's case stronger.

[@MegaMonkeyMotorsport]

o hai! How small world to have you comment! Glad you like my reviews. Hope you are well and having fun! -Emme@RoadflyTV (GO WILDCATS!)

[@mercracer24]

She was saying that there may be a turbo version in the future. Possibly sourced from the Buick Regal GS.

[@bottomlayer]

If Buick is trying to project an upscale or luxury image they should use struts instead of a stupid prop rod for the hood

[@nrborod1]

Car has much more presence in person and looks elegant--in my opinion. It drives quiet--smooth, compliant ride without being at all squishy. The engine notes reminded me of some 6's! Not bad. Wish the mileage was a little better....But, overall the car felt solid, substantial and well put together. I am 61 and I am finally thinking about such a vehicle. For years I was concerned about the Buick image for fear I'd finally turn into my father,--but I do like this car.

[@KatanaPrincess]

She's so much fun to watch!

[@pogoboy123]

Emme, I DIE for your constant dye jobs! You rock, I aspire to be like you!

[@FLOCKAIRpilots]

great review emme! your reviews are my favorite!

[@maynardwaltrip]

Okay car - but more importantly, what kind of sunglasses were those you were wearing? Sharp!

[@76carmel]

You can hear engine noise if you put it in manual mode and rev it pretty high; but it's a very quiet interior.

[@Seanheery]

You crack me up! What an awesome review! I'm actually getting a 2013 Turbo. I love your personality and this review! Great car! Look forward to your other reviews! Thanks!!! :-)

[@itmustbelove08]

Emme or Charlie. Who decided who gets to review what car? Do you all test drive them and then Charlie picks. Do you all get a certain amount of vehicles to review? Do you have like niche markets where as Ross does more high-end cars or Emme does more sport cars? I love the work you all do. If you had an app to see your video's I'd be in heaven. I guess I'll just keep you-tubing from my phone. Great work EVERYONE.

[@Patrick-gh3fq]

That Onstar Convo was awesome! :P

[@MikeyouLikey]

Emme, I enjoyed the video, however, I wish you would have showed after the onstar started, so we can see how it sounds and how it interacts with you, or if it displays those directions at all on the display. I really enjoy watching Roadfly, and you certainly are my favorite host followed by Ross!

[@gabegoglia5432]

Great Review! Get the Turbo!

[@cadrolls]

After seeing this car, I would never buy a BMW 3 series. This is SWEET!!!

[@76carmel]

Also, that 2.4L Ecotec is also used in the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, and the base Buick Regal. Will you test the new Buick Regal (any version, including the enthusist GS)?

[@ganthc]

I have my eye on this vehicle. I like that it has a bit more power than the Cruze does, and a better interior.

[@roxcyn]

It looks sweet! I want to thank you for your review.

[@FrancineRA1970]

Thank you for a great review Emmie! I was so let-down by the Verano review by Web2Carz. Thanks again!

[@SwPiotrek]

Very cool review Emmy, I really liked it.

[@mbdint]

Please go easy on special video effects (very annoying)! Also the music choice is horrible - also it is louder than the reviewer's voice and distracting. Review is great as always, thanks!

[@DuallyDieselFord]

naw. It's not a bad car. Can keep up just fine and has a nice leather interior. Not the quickest but still a good car

[@KhrissyDaDon]

@roadflytv Nice Emme! You're hip and fun and you just bring life to all your reviews, keep up the good job!

[@Acc0rd79]

Buick has really stepped it up, im not even old and id even look at buick if i needed a classy 4 door to puddle around in. Tell me thats not scary!

[@leedawson22]

Wow.. Love the review and your personality plus doesn't hurt you have a cute smile. Anyway, I was doing some research on the Verano cause I needed a new car. Your review helped a lot... Stay awesome!!!

[@Dillon1791]

I guess there is some hope for it. if.. had a K23Turbo in it (from old RDX). had SH-AWD (or cheaper AWD from the RDX/CR-V) with 6sp auto or 6sp manual. was lowered1.5-2.2inches. had some nice 18's. had on the concept bumpers/skirts with the Hybrids Deck Lid Spoiler and a TSX badge. With competitive prices at 30-34K for all mentioned above plus Advanced/Tech PKG's combined and you have deal if it hits 60 in under 5.8 seconds. Considering it could be 260lbsT and 240HP, AWD in a 2900lbs PKG.

[@DEdge1221]

I'm loving the new Buicks! All of them!

[@GrayFox0047]

Emme you are so intelligent and hilarious at the same time! I love your reviews!!

[@RobertBritoLee]

The weather in latin america and specially in the caribbean is quite a challenge for most brands, they do even build in Mexico, Colombia, brasil and other countries to meet the market requirements. Does the Verano handle well this scenario? cuz even the lil detail of the front glass getting foggy cuz the hotness outside and the air conditioner on the inside is important sometimes. it happens to me with my mazda mazda 6i grand touring I brought from USA and It is crazy!

[@ChoopyDroops]

Buick is stepping up in the world

[@RobertJones-ic9bj]

About the Nissan GT- R no sun roof is offered because without it the center of gravity is lowered giving you better handling

[@knoxkeaton]

I live in florida........so true........ :'(

[@SuperBooboo02]

had a 13 turbo Verano, drove the hell out of it as a commuter car.....had 125000 miles on it....wish they still had it here, not everyone wants a suv/cuv box to drive...some of wants a small luxury sedan

[@knack0125]

Emme its here!!!! 2.0L Turbo with 250HP and 260tq, yea!!!! Great review btw, makes me wnat the car more. ^^

[@76carmel]

Don't worry. Verano will have a 220-hp turbo coming next model year, and an available 6-speed manual transmission as well. Same 2.0L turbo engine as the Regal; not the 270-hp GS.

[@Jesni3]

I really love your reviews Emme! I watched this video just beacuse you was the host. :D Peace from Puerto Rico :D

[@israel3698]

Great Job Emme!!!

[@txagg1974]

Great work Emmy!

[@avro206]

Turbo Verano is coming...

[@Ajmayjay]

she looks like jamie lynch after she got her makeover in freaky friday

[@MegaMonkeyMotorsport]

I get it cut in DC at a place called Bang but I do the color myself. I blast it out with 40 Born Blonde and 40 developer then I use usually Beyond the Zone color as I find its the best balance between staying power and ease of clean up. Special Effects is great but it stains my tub. Manic Panic fades too quickly. If you have access to pro colors, let me know! I just buy all my stuff at Sally's. (is that answer too long? LOL!) -Emme@RoadflyTV

[@rockerage]

Fun review

[@knack0125]

Hey Emme, thanks for the review, I got 2 questions, what did you average for mpg and liveability with how its styled cause of blind spots. Just an FYI, rumor was a 2.0L turbo not 2.4L Turbo and it is true, just saw 2013 update sheet and it will have it (idk hp #), in 4th quarter 2012, as well as other updates. ^^. I'm 22 and I got my eyes on a Verano. Oh yea.

[@eifersucht]

Is the ride really that smooth? I have a back injury and want my next car to be something extremely smooth and I'm considering this one cuz it looks like it may still be fun to drive

[@knack0125]

WRONG the Buick version of that car is the Buick Regal, this car shares its platform and interior with the Opel Astra, PLATFORM also shared with the Cruze.

[@nrborod1]

What doe you think is a better value and better car--the new Verano or the 2013 Altima 4 cyl?

[@MrUpgraydde]

Love the new Buick's... but whats up with the cheeseball non-functional glue-on-looking air "vents" on the side of the hood?

[@mercracer24]

awwww, you don't want to play anymore? We were just starting to have fun. I really was starting to enjoy the way you twisted my words around.

[@DocWolph]

The Rod never fails, wears out, or needs replacement. Struts do. They cost more, they wear out, even from non-use, and there is no good reason to add them. Lock springs would be better. They are even used in six-figure luxury and super cars.

[@Dankcatvacs]

ever drove a cutlass ciera ? whats your review on it

[@nrborod1]

I found the ride to be pleasantly compliant yet firm enough to inspire confidence--not wallowy at all. And the car IS very quiet.

[@Pedal2TheMetal]

I could watch the review of a Tata Nano as long as Emme is the host! Shes so fun to watch lol

[@76carmel]

Emme -- the sunroof is a $900 option. No holla here, right?

[@nicholasbennett3990]

Using heat to drive the color into the shaft of hair is really effective and it lasts longer I find. (is THAT answer too long?!?)

[@nicholasbennett3990]

emme where do you get your hair done. I'm a stylist and was curious!

[@nmende00]

To heat up a cold steering wheel in the wintertime?

[@kolbis99]

Your glasses make you look like a blue haired Kris Kardashian hahahaha loved the review as always Emme!

[@nicholasbennett3990]

Oh and when you press a flat iron over each strand be careful to not rest at the root of the strands. as the color will steam up and hit your scalp. just be cautious at the root.

[@AnthonyBacardi]

Did you do the blue hair for this review?

[@Naoufalitos24]

loving the blue hair, good job

[@nicholasbennett3990]

Section out the entire panel that is going to be the vibrant color. Pull thin sections and apply color to each. BUT foil each section back to back. So each time you pull a section it's goining to be in a foil. You don't need to be perfect just fold the foil in half over it. When your done doing that and your section looks like a delorian (see what I did there) go through and press a flat iron over each foil.

[@ucci05]

I like emme's energy

[@jwatwater]

Everyone keeps saying "Buicks aren't for old people anymore." Since the "new" Buicks have come out, I have saw ONE young person driving a Regal, and they looked really awkward driving it... They do look much better now, but still...

[@76carmel]

Emme, OnStar is actually pretty handy isn't it?

[@PaulBarnes1968]

I really like this. Sure beats the bland Jetta.

[@Dillon1791]

When does Ross get the Acura ILX? I wanna see him review the K24 6sp while YOU, Emme, Reviews the ILX Hybrid. P.s, It has a sun roof, Standard, so Holla! No reason to pass it up for that right? lol.

[@avro206]

You can say that of alot cars. They all share platforms. The Veranos sheetmetal is 100% unique as is the interior.

[@rdwhite83]

So what did you think of OnStar?

[@mercracer24]

By the term "Anti-American" I was referring to the American car industry, not the country itself. I also like that you read my previous statement and reversed it on me. It was a very classy move. As for the insults, i try to keep them on the sarcastic side but I guess I'll make an exception just this once. You mad, bro?

[@thomas070881]

Did your verano have a slight delay from first gear?

[@roywastaken]

gotta love Emme! x2

[@BenGenio]

This woman is crazy. I like her.

[@yunior12]

Buick's are looking better...

[@ElementKO1]

Only Emme could make a relatively boring car so entertaining! Well done!

[@Bluemoondm1]

Great review! :D

[@alexanderkauffman9300]

Stay Awesome!!!
