Great Ride
This is my third Century. I cover the state of Ohio, as a saleman, and put about 40,000 miles a year on the car. I can,t say enough about the Century, great ride, and great reliability it's never let me down. The only maintance is oil changes, normal wear items like tires and brakes. To bad this is the last year for the Century. The LaSalle is beautiful but it cost's to much for a guy on a company car plan.
Best kept secret on the road.
I used this car for as comuter car. I have 100k on the car now, never missed a beat. One set of tires and front brakes is all I have done. Way quieter than a Camry and 30+ mpg. It is the best car I have ever owned. Would highly recommend the Buick to anyone who wants miles of trouble free service and great gas mileage for a larger car.

Great Car!
I've owned my 2004 Century for 5 months and I'm very pleased. I intended on purchasing a Honda Accord and stumbled onto this Buick so I gave it a test drive. I was truly surprised, The comfort, quiet and ride quality both in town and on the highway is unlike anything I've experienced. The biggest surprise is the gas millage, I 've experienced near 28 MPG in town and over 34 on the highway. This is better than the Accords 4 cylinder. The depreciation was double that of the Honda and subsequently over half the cost for the same year vehicle. It was a easy decision, I'm very pleased with the car and expect many years of satisfied driving. I highly recommend a late model Century.
Selling - won't miss it a minute
When I purchased this car, I thought "it's a Buick - how can I go wrong?". Let me count the ways! Every time I get out of the car, I get a severe static shock. I have to touch my keys to the door frame to avoid it. My wife has gotten shocked enough times that she insists we take her car on trips. Getting out also requires a manouver similar to getting out of a bean-bag chair, because the seats are so low to the ground. Finally the car is so boring! I bought a silver car with gray interior. Everything is gray! It's like being in a black and white movie
Rocker panel rust
Buick should have recalled ALL these cars … TERRIBLE rocker panel rusting! Love this car.. bought used in 2006. Odometer stopped 2-3 yrs ago. Have about 120,000 miles…. Body is great EXCEPT FOR RUST!!!!! Very $$ to get fixed!!
