1999 Buick Century 4 Dr Custom Sedan
Review
This was a great little car for an on the go family. Very basic, not a lot of frills. Can fit 3 carseats in the back. We were in a head on collision with a BMW. We won. The amount of body damage we sustained was minimal compared to the other car. Real metal hoods make a difference. Before the wreck, power items were a problem, i.e. windows, mirrors.
Favorite Features
Comfort of seats, interstate drivability.
Suggested Improvements
Small power motors and fuses, windows, mirrors, blinkers, etc.
A decent car

Review
I really did like this car for the quality of driving, but I had serious problems with the electric windows. I replaced 3 of them within a year and my brother is now having to replace all of them again since buying the car from me. A very comfortable car. I would reccomend it to anyone. Just dont use the windows
Favorite Features
The soft ride and the comfortable leather seats
Suggested Improvements
Power windows

Review
This car was bought new by my mother in law who no longer drives, with only 30k miles since new. The car is comfortable up front with average performance and fuel economy. It is good for long trips as the overdrive is a good cruising gear for 60-70 mph. It could have scored higher marks but I am 6'1" and when I am in the back seats there is not sufficent head room. It seems that most cars just do not take into account that there are people in the world who are larger than 5'8" and 150 lbs. Other than that it is a great car with no major weaknesses. Like most Buicks it does the job it is supposed to do, well but with little fanfare.
Favorite Features
Turn the key and go. Good visibility, anyone can repair it if need be, still has a contemporary style, good sound system, excellent hvac.
Suggested Improvements
More supportive seats, about 2 more inches of headroom in the rear.

Review
Great car, good fuel economy, lots of power. The cosmetic - poor job. The plastic around the windshield is falling apart and the power window is terible. By 120,000 I already replaced 5 power window motors assembly which cost over $320 parts only.(have to buy the whole assembly) The car is fun to drive but the little things drives me crazy. Great engine and very comfortable. It could be a great car if GM motors pays more attention to detail. Power windows is a major problem for the Century.
Favorite Features
Room, power, comfortable.
Suggested Improvements
Power windows come with terible power window motors and have to buy the whole assembly vs just the motor. Plastic inside the car - better quality. Improve cosmetic.

Great value for the buck. No major problems in 6 years, plan to keep it other 3 years at least. The 6th seat is a great alternative we haven't found in new cars.
Favorite Features
6th seat.
