  Solid reliabble ride - 1996 Buick Century
  By triple J - April 12 - 2:00 am

  This is hands down the best vehicle I have owned! It has never let me down, and the original engine & tranny have well over 100K miles. Fuel economy is not bad, especially considering the V6 power that the car has. In my opinion, GMs 3100 engine ranks right up there with the 3800 for the best engine GM has EVER made. Great car!

  Good rental car - 1996 Buick Century
  By Bill H. - July 13 - 2:00 am

  Purchased as one year old prior rental, good second car with good gas mileage of 29 mpg. Above average fit and finish and overall reliability. Good basic 4- door car despite aging design. Engine 3.1L at 103k miles still not burning or leaking oil, which is saying a lot for an American make car. Transmission still smooth. Easy to change own oil. Drawback is suspension very soft, and turning radius too wide for size of car.

  Replaced warped brake rotor to fix brake surging. Intake manifold gasket leaked coolant into crankcase. Interior design is clumsy and not well thought out. Paint finish on hood has rust pits that developed under paint.

  I like to drive the car. I sit up fairly high and do not need a cushion.
