Pros: Nice sized trunk, Quiet ride, smooth acceleration, power features
Cons: Back door opening a bit low, programming locks and headlights confusing
The Bottom Line: All in all, if you are considering purchasing a Buick Century, I would highly recommend it, but do some research on the vehicle as well...
I've never been one to buy a used car. My first car just out of high school was used and I vowed at that point, come hell or high water, I would never own another used car in my life (hah!) Considering that was a 1986 Ford Tempo, I didn't give the used...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: nice car
Cons: not close to the top in its class
This slick-looking four-door has the same basic design as the Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Intrigue and Pontiac Grand Prix. But those sedans are sportier than the Century, which is for conservative motorists mainly looking for practicality. The Century comes...

Pros: Reliability, appearance
Cons: Sluggish acceleration
In November, I traded my 1998 Buick Century for a 2000 model year Century. I use my car for business and drive over 1,400 miles per month. The 1998 model was great; the 2000 model is even better. I have found a slight improvement in gas mileage and in...

BUICK KICKS OFF NEW MILLENIUM WITH A SPECIAL CENTURY
Buick touts the Century as a family car, with the appeal and styling of a much more expensive sedan. In nearly six months of driving the Century 2000 Special Edition, the car continues to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No 
Pros: solid feel, good power
Cons: floppy suspension, mushy brakes
My company has supplied all of the DM's with Century's (also Impala's, and a couple of Crown Vic's). Over the past 4 months, I have gotten a pretty good feel for the car, and overall, I feel it is adequate.
The design is quite good, certainly...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, comfortable, smooth and quiet. A great value.
Cons: Buick is planning to discontinue the Century!
The Bottom Line: My 2000 Buick Century Limited has been an excellent automobile thus far, reliable, comfortable and a good value and I highly recommend it.
At first my 2000 Buick Century Limited was a lease, however, I liked it so much when the lease was up I purchased it (at about 45K miles). This vehicle now has approximately 70K miles and I've never had a stitch of trouble with it. This is my favorite ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious interior, many standard features, comfortable ride, quiet engine
Cons: high back, programming of some features is difficult, low range on remote
The Bottom Line: It's a great car for the price. Check out the info on this vehicle with the link I have posted for more info.
I have owned my Buick since 53000 km and I am now approaching 60000 on it. I must say it's the nicest car I've owned and driven in a while. I previously owned a 1995 Grand AM which doesn't compare at all to the Buick. I have also test driven a 2002...

Pros: Spacious Interior
Cons: Bottoms Out Easily
I have rented this vehicle a few times when I traveling and found it incredibly comfortable. I first went with it since it was the only car in its class at the rental agency that had leather interior - I wanted to travel in style!
The car fits...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: good value, comfortable, roomy trunk
Cons: visor hits rear-view mirror, no mileage couonter
The Bottom Line: An excellent car with Buick quality. Priced far below the quality of ride it gives.
We bought our 2000 Century from a dealer who had one as a program car. The drive and feel at our test drive sold us. The V-6 engine has plenty of power (but is not good on gas). Several power features are available- seats, windows, etc... Be aware ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fairly inexpensive, good drive
Cons: Not good for carseats, cramped back seat
The Buick Century is being touted as the "Safe Family Car" for those who can't afford the luxury of a Lexus or Cadillac. It even has built-in tether anchors for your car seats. What they don't tell you is that your car seat may not fit in...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: beautiful car, smooth ride, dependable quality, rebates available
Cons: sets low to the ground
Remember the TV ad, "Wouldn't you rather have a Buick?". We have as we've had several Buicks over the years. Models have changed, colors are different. But the Buick is still a car with a smooth ride as was dad's 1955 Buick Special. Or Uncle...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: This vehicle has excellent gas mileage and breaking performance. Anti-Lock Breaks.
Cons: Undercarriage rusts easier, especially in salty environments. The older models have the seat belts in the door and not the door frame, this decreases its safety performance.
A Ten year old buick century has its pitfalls but a new one is good for the business person. When a Buick Century reaches its ninth and tenth year it begins to lose the ability to travel over a speed of seventy five miles per hour without shaking. The...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, durability
Cons: None except a power window repair and a little engine "clatter."
The Bottom Line: Recommended highly due to efficiency, comfort, reliability, and prices.
I have read the other reviews. I agree with all of the positive input and hardly any of the negative. We have owned several, more plush, GM cars. We bought our 2000 Buick Century from a friend, as a temporary vehicle. The car had well over 100k miles. We ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Nice solid car with good instrumentation.
Cons: Not a lot of room inside. Very loud with the windows down.
The Bottom Line: This is not a family car, if you plan on carry three or more passengers on a regular basis you should look at some thing else.
The Century is a mid size sedan with a V6, the one I drove had a 3.1 liter. It is under powered but it handles well. It gets fairly good mileage and it comes standard with a lot of options such as an interior wheel preasure guage and dual Air. The seats...
