Review

We purchased this vechile because we had always wanted to own a Buick. We were not disappointed. Excellent fuel economy and comfort at a very resonable price. The only blemish with this car is the fact that the tires(all four) have been replaced four different times due to excessive cracking and abnormal wear. We were not impressed with the General Tire Company.

Favorite Features

Outstanding fuel economy!! Although I use a synthetic oil and never miss an oil change, for a car this size and weight it is remarkable.

Suggested Improvements

Although I have had no problems with build integrity, it just does not look and feel right for a $32,000 vechile.

Best car I ever owned

Review

Great Buick ride, reliability and power. Gets great gas mileage, yet has all the power I ever need. Only thing I found about the car that gets less than a rave review is that while it handles ok on ice, I have had better cars on the ice. Otherwise I am very impressed with its quality, reliability, power and gas mileage.

Favorite Features

Dual Heater controls, steering wheel radio controls and the low tire pressure light.

Suggested Improvements

Find a way to make it not only handle great on the snow, slush and water like it does, but also on the ice.

Never buy used again

Review

I just purchased this vehicle a month ago with a little over 53,000 miles on it. Since then, the HI/LOW beam dimmer switch went bad ($400), and the Intake Manifold Gasket broke (another $300) and the ascending unit (gas gauge) went bad ($250 w/labor). This has overall been a headache. And a lot of it is the fault of the dealerships. NEVER BY FROM INTERSTATE 99 AUTO IN ERIE, PA***They are crooks

Favorite Features

Automatic lighting, heater works great, there is a dummy light of everything that might go wrong.

Suggested Improvements

Put a different antenae on it, put reliable parts into it, move the center console forward as it is way too far back.

Review

This car has a great ride and the gas mileage is even better. The 3.1 v-6 is the best engine on the market.

Favorite Features

Great gas mileage,nice ride

Suggested Improvements

You can not ride down the road with the rear windows down. The sound that it makes is unbearable.

Why didn't I buy one years ago?

Review

This is my first GM product, and I have been driving for over 25 years. I wish I would have known about the Buick years ago. This reliable, solid vehicle has very good gas mileage for a luxury-feeling sedan. There is ample leg room in front, although it could use a little more legroom in the back. For the money, I don't think there is a company out there that can beat this vehicle.

Favorite Features

What a great ride! Comfortable and solid feeling. This is a great car for a road trip. Easy-to-use controls for radio on steering wheel. Factory sound system quality a plus.

Suggested Improvements

Ergonomics of the center console/lid is poor. Driver must have double-jointed shoulder to operate (specifically, to close). Also, the pressure required to operate the horn seems a bit high. I wonder if it would be possible to have raingutters and still present as an attractive Buick?

Dannys review of an overated car

Review

Well, I have 44000 miles and my transmission I believe needs to be replaced. My power motor window is ready to poop out. I replaced a tie rod end already....My wiper blade stopped in the middle of the window so I had to have that replaced. The cars motor sounds like a coffee pot purking in the morning. Very noisy. The glove compartment has no room to speak of. The head rest is to high and restricts my view. Car is terrible over the bumps. New tired helped a lot. The radio reception is just terrible.

Favorite Features

Excellent gas mileage. Great sounding audio system. Nice acceleration at all speeds. Outside of that I am not happy with the car and I just got rid of it.

Suggested Improvements

Put a regular antenna on the car please. Do something about the terrible sounds engine makes when cold in the morning. Make the suspension tighter.

Review

This Buick Century is the best car I have driven in my 38 years of driving. It is excellent on long trips and gives great gas mileage, and I have not had any problems with it.

Favorite Features

automatic lights, tire and fluid sensors, delay locking, oil change reminder

Suggested Improvements

slower theater dimming, adjustable time for door lock delay, and the button on the key fob for remote trunk opening needs to be recessed more, as it can very easily be hit and cause the trunk to open.
