Limited 1995 Buick Century Review

1995 Buick Century 4 Dr Limited Sedan

Review

At of the 3 cars I have owned within the past 2 years, this by far has been the best. It hasnt had any major problems and has always started. the only problem I have had is I ran out of gas while drving down the road. Not that big of a problem, also I have a bad ground in the engine somewhere which I've been meaning to get fixed but it doesnt really affect the performance of the car that much. So on a scale of 1-10 I would rate this car a 9. If you are looking for affordable luxury, you'll love this car.

Favorite Features

My favorite features are the power and leather seats. Also, the look of luxury within the car.

Suggested Improvements

There isnt many improvements I would make. I guess I would make the car have a cd player instead of tape and a better sound system. Thats it.

Review

this car in my opinion was the best value for my dollar, it was the best buy for only 4000, it was the newest with the less mileage of 97000, which to some may seem a lot, but i am hopeful it will last as long as my grandparents 92 did of 180000 miles, i love the acceleration, and comfort feel of it, i enjoy getting on freeways, all in all a great/excellent car

Favorite Features

acceleration, comfort, handling, reliability

Suggested Improvements

body styling, the style gets boring after the same look of 5 years, looks too much like an old persons car

My Dream Car

Review

I bought this car as a used car in August of 1997 with 42000 miles on it, so they must have been mostly highway miles. It now has 85000 miles on it 5+ years later. It has been a very reliable car. I have replaced the battery, brakes, muffler, and exhaust. This car always starts quickly and has been kept in the garage during the time that I have owned it.

Favorite Features

I like the body style and appearance of this car. It is white with a black line down the middle of each side of the car.The blue interior is attractive.

Suggested Improvements

I cannot think of any improvements I would make.

A Damn Good Car

Review

I bought this car from my grandfather's estate for my wife. It's all loaded up with leather and such. This car is great! It's rides very well, gets great mileage is an excellant daily driver. My grandfather drove as you would expect from an elderly person. Not fast, well maintained and not many miles. The average per year for the time he owned it was under 5K. There is a tiny bit of rust starting in the wheel wells because it sat for long periods of time and the exhaust had to be replaced for the same reason. I feel the body will fall off this car before the engine dies..

Favorite Features

Good Motor.Excellent mileage. Soft ride.Leather seats.

Suggested Improvements

None. Take the car for what it is.... A great second car for the family with great reliability.

Review

This was my grandmother's car, then my mom took it from her, it became mine in 2000, I'm the hardest driver on it but I've put a few miles on already (55,000 25,000 mine). Keeps on going, only problems were due to my stupidity (125 for 8 miles bad for tranny). Price was right at free but I would buy same car if I totalled this one tomorrow. We were so impressed my mom bought a new rendevious cxl, another nice car.

Favorite Features

Good power, amazing a/c, comfy interior, pillowy ride, quality car overall, lots of head and legroom

Suggested Improvements

turning radius, fit and finish on nose, paint durability on steering wheel, beef up power window, other little bs common on american cars

Review

The car has been a great car. We had one transmission problem after 140k miles. Since fixing that problem, the ownership has been uneventful.

NOTHING BUT MONEY MONEY MONEY

Review

I bought this from the dealer with 13 miles, I have had nothing but mechanical problems since I bought it. FRONT RIGHT DRIVE AXLE, BRAKES, TIRES, WHEEL INNERS. WINDOW MOTORS REPLACES MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER THE 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PAID BIGGGGGGGG BUCKS FOR, ONLY TO GIVE OUT SOON AFTER THE LAST REPLACEMENT AND LOCK ONE OPEN, ONE CLOSED. NOISEY NOISEY RATTLES AND SQUEALS, NEVER CORRECTED UNDER WARRANTY, nor was the ALL POWER OPTIONS WORTH THE MONEY I PAID. For comfort..

Favorite Features

RADIO, Driver side EXCELLENT, the rest, might as well be in the trunk. I owned and loved a 1985 Buick Skylark, stripped down with bare essentials, which proved to be more reliable, less costly, and longer lasting.

Suggested Improvements

REPLACE THE CAR ENTIRELY WITH A GOOD ENGINE, SUSPENSION, WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS, AND BRAKING SYSTEM. .. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS OR NEWER YEAR CENTURIES TO ANYONE.

Review

I bought it in Nov. 2001. It had 29,000 miles on it. It has the V-6 and if driven at 65 mph or less, you can get up to 30 mpg. The fit and finish are very good. It is comfortable on long trips. I now have 52,000 miles on the car and outside of normal maintenance, it has not given me any problems.

Review

We have had a 1990 Buick Century and looked for this 1995 five years ago. It has disappointed us in noise. The engine is noisy, much more than our 1990 model. Wind noise is really bad on the highway. Radiator had to be replaced at 100,000 miles. It is difficult to park due to not being able to see the front fenders well enough. The turning radius is very poor. This will be our last Buick after the disappointing things we have had. Local Buick dealer has not been honest and this is one factor I won'tolerate.

Favorite Features

Inside comfort is good. Anti lock brakes are good.

Suggested Improvements

Turning radius needs improvement, wind noise has to be corrected, Engine noise, especially on startup is bad and really bad when accelerating.
