Buick Verano and Other Small Cars are Favorites Among Car Shoppers

The all-new Buick Verano is garnering a lot of consumer interest, according to a recent AutoTrader.com New Car Insights Report. The company analyzes the amount of consumer attraction to vehicles on its website, and then compiles a list of the top 20 "Big Movers" that have experienced the largest increases in month-over-month interest.

The Buick Verano, which has only been in production for one year, saw a 95.7 percent increase. The sedan is both affordable (starting at $22,585) and fuel efficient, with an estimated 32-mile-per-gallon fuel economy. MotorTrend reports that the Verano came from the same family as the Chevy Cruze and the Volt, and is a bit smaller than the Buick Regal. A 180-horsepower 2.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing provides drivers with a smooth, fun to drive vehicle. MotorTrend indicates that the next model will likely get a slightly larger, more powerful engine, but with more power comes more fuel usage.

GM's new luxury sedan was not the only small model to make it onto AutoTrader's "Big Mover" list. The Subaru Impreza came in second, with a 39.4 increase in consumer interest and the Ford Focus saw a rise of 27.6 percent. Toyota was the real leader of the pack, with four vehicles on the list, the most of any automaker. The Prius saw a 38.1 percent climb in shopper interest and the Prius V, Yaris and Corolla all did well, too.

Whether drivers are looking for a used Focus, Corolla, Prius or other fuel-efficient vehicles, New Jersey State Auto Auction has plenty of makes and models at affordable prices. All their cars are CARFAX certified as well, so motorists know they'll be driving away in a reliable vehicle.
