Terrific Transportation Appliance

My Dad gave me his 2001 Buick Century Limited SE as he didn't really drive much any more, so I have been discovering the Zen of the "Gateway To Luxury" (the marketing phase for this entry level Buick). Seriously, it's not so much a car as a terrific transportation appliance - it gets great gas mileage for a mid-size, super quiet, super comfortable (they should patent those seats in the 60/40 split bench!) Excellent 8 speaker stereo, great outward visibility. The Limited SE means full leather seating, cruise control, auto dimming rear view mirror and more - it's like a mini-Regal without the supercharged engine and premium gas! And this thing has a ginormous trunk! I have put 5 golf bags in there. And no maintenance issues so far (my dad did pretty meticulous maintenance, but did have to fix the transaxle at 90k) The Zen is: DON'T RUSH and you don't really have a choice. The car rides brilliantly so long as you DON'T RUSH. Rush through a corner and you'll end up on someone's front lawn. But nobody does, which is why the insurance rates are hilariously low. I like it, two thumbs up.

Wonderful Commute

I commute 1 hour each way to work 22 days a month and the ride is a pleasure! I have long legs and there is plenty of room for them and the seating is perfect for my back. I bought this car used for the price, ride and space especially for the commute and I was pleasantly surprised to get 30 MPG to boot! I have a family of 4 with 2 young kids and the the comfort is amazing. The only issue I have is the extended life coolant system which I flushed after 60000. I have never owned a Buick but this car has me looking for another one.

Love This Car

Bought this car used from my father with 51,000 miles. I now have 78,000. I haven't had any of the transmission problems that some have had, and my father didn't either. The car is very comfortable, has a nice sound system, is very solid, (no rattles), and awesome gas mileage. I average 25 city, and my best highway is 32 mpg! My only complaint is that it is equipped with OnStar that is no longer available. I wish GM would have come up with a solution for some kind of adapter so I could still have the security. It has adequate power for my needs. If you want more, look into the Buick Regal in the same years as this model was produced. Would recommend this car to anyone.
great value; quiet on the road

looking for a quiet car; this is it I cannot believe the change in road noise with this caar. the side mirrors need to be redesigned; I must readjust them when I want to park the car I love the way the back seat folds in 2 parts and the fact that both front seats are completely adjustable handles well on and off the highway; great mileage too
