Mike, do you concur with Buick's stellar reliability ratings of late? Is your Verano contributing to the high marks?
My Verano has certainly been an excellent car since Day One, despite a couple of small occasional drivability quirks common to the FWD GM 6-speed automatics. I've long felt that the smaller, Opel-derived Buicks (Verano, Encore, Regal, Cascada), are noticeably more solidly-built than the bigger, American-designed ones, though the new 2017 Lacrosse is a major improvement over its predecessor. Consumer Reports seems to agree.....the Opel-rebadge Buicks do seem to hold up better. The Verano, though, has an interesting reliability pattern. According to CR, the 2012 Verano (which I own) is much better than average in reliability....but the subsequent 2013-15 models took a dip. The Chinese-built Buick Envision mid-sized SUV of course, is still brand-new, having been introduced just a few months ago....so there isn't any usable reliability data on it yet. But, in both my static-inspection and test-drive, I could find any significant assembly or fit/finish problems with it, other than an odd smell inside, instead of the usual pleasant new-car smell.
One thing, IMO, that I think helps with the reliability of almost all Buicks is that, with the (possible) exception of the sport-oriented Regal GS (which sells very poorly), most of them are driven on the sedate side, which lessens the strain on them. Brakes, engines, drivelines, tires, and suspensions which are not abused or driven hard are more likely to hold up in the long run than those that are. That may (?) also be true for Lincoln, which, as an overall brand, is also driven by a group of rather sedate people on the road. But the fact that Buick, even with Lincoln's sedate drivers, ranks so much higher than Lincoln in reliability shows that more is involved than just gentle driving.
