It is an inexpensive car comparing with Toyota Camry, Honda Acord and it has similar performances. Drives smoothly, has power, comfort and high quality features.

Purchased this car new in 2002 for my wife, and as our primary vehicle for out of town trips. From the beginning the brakes squealed. A knock in the front end developed within the first year...EXACTLY like the previous 1999 Century we had. GM tried but never fixed it completely. Gotta be a design flaw for it to happen on both cars that we owned. Last week while my wife was driving to work a valve spring broke...major engine repair costs. This car has been babied and the oil religiously changed every 3000 miles. We are very disappointed as we thought we'd have this car many more miles. Will keep as second car and buy a good Honda for primary.

I have had two Buick Century : a 1989 model and a 1998 model. Both were great cars, very reliable and SAFE. The 89 model pulled a boat, ended up in the lake!, was wrecked once by me, then totalled several years later by my husband. Neither of us was hurt in either accident! We bought another Century in 1998. It never needed repair..I loved this car! Unfortunately I wrecked it a few weeks ago; it was totalled but I walked away without injury! This is the main reason that I want to buy my 3rd Century! ! Someone said it must be a bad-luck car for us, but I say no! We were well- protected in those accidents!

It's been over 5 years (and about 75K) since I last rated this car and I'm still very happy with it. I now have 101K and she's running strong. Except for maintenance items the only things needed were new struts at 80K (driving in NYC can be tough). I also replaced the lower intake manifold gasket at 80K as a precaution (an $800 job) because the 3.1 is known to leak coolant into the oil eventually. I just replaced the original battery at 100K because I didn't want to chance getting stuck this winter. This car feels like 300K is doable. Mileage is still averaging about 25 mpg with over 30 on long trips. It has never let me down. A/C is still ice cold without ever being recharged.
Lemon-aide!!

I bought my car from the Bishop of my church. The valves knock, the rear cylinders leak, the cv axle needs to be replaced, the rear speakers don't work, the driver's side electric window struggles to raise, the cheap tires are noisy, and the windshield has wiper blade scratches. All this can be YOURS if the Price Is Right!!
