  • Best Car Ive owned so far - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    This is by far the best automobile Ive owned so far. Had low mileage when I purchased it and I still think I got a deal! Gets great gas mileage for its size. Roomy trunk, lots of bells and whistles. Low tire light saved me from getting stuck on side of the road a couple of months ago. Always lets me know when to anticipate a problem, although there hasnt been anything major. We are very happy with it!

    I am really happy with my Buick Century Custom, for a mid-size luxury car, I dont think it can be beaten.

  • 2002 Buick Centruy - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    One of the best cars I have driven in a while. I first drove this car as a rental on a 800 mile trip to the east coast and thru the blue mountains. I was quite impressed with the handling and ride comfort that I bought one. The ride is very comfortable. The layout of the dash/interior is good. Mileage is good also. I now have 115K miles on it and it still does a good job. Only repairs to car were to replace windshield wiper motor and then catalytic converter. Not bad.

  • Poor Value - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    I would not recommend purchasing a Buick Century. I have had several major problems with this vehicle (which I purchased new in 2002. When the car was two years old, the underside (rocker panel and near wheel wells) had damage (i.e. rust/ paint has come off- I believe that this is as result of a design flaw. I have had this fixed once when the car was under warranty, but now it needs to be done again (15 months later). I had to replace the battery at approx. 25K miles and had to replace the head gasket (at a cost of $1300) at 56K miles. Now, my air conditioning is no longer working. I feel that this vehicle was a very poor value and I cant wait to trade it in.

  • Not just a retirees car - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    I bought this Buick as I needed a quick replacement for another car. A local dealer found this car with 86K at a very reasonable price. Must have been a salesmans car. Minus a new starter and a gasket seal replacement this car has been a pleasant surprise. I would have NEVER considered driving this car previously, but my circumstances dictated a low cost replacement. The car obtains excellent mileage and is very comfortable to drive. (Even handles fairly well!) The sound system is superb with the concert sound speakers. Steering wheel radio controls are a nice feature too! For the money, insurance cost and room this car fits the bill. I may actually keep this car longer than I planned!

  • Nothing Beats a Buick for Comfort! - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    I love Buicks because they are the most solid and comfortable ride than anything Ive driven. Anyone who has driven my car says it "floats"! The only disappointment is the style..it never changes! In my book, Buick is top notch!

  • Solid Car - Needs Fashion Revamp - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    First-time Buick owner, a rental car purchased from used car dealer with 27000 miles. Its been reliable starting in all weather especially in winters worse. Before 36000 warranty expired, I had local Buick dealer do an overall check up. They replaced parts to correct brake problems. Brakes have squealed and continue to do so at random times when first engaged - does not affect performance.

  • Century - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    This was my company car for a while. I put a lot of miles on her. I was very impressed with the century. I would buy one in a skinny minute.

  • 3rd Century owned - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    This is the 3rd Century we have purchased. 1st one new. Put 186000 on a 1986 model and 160000 on 1992 model. Other than normal maintenance no major problems. Just love this car.

  • I love my Buick Century! - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    This is my second Century (car, not my age!) becaue I found it to be the most comfortable road car I had ever owned. It is the right size, efficient, a great value. I like to say, when I am on my frequent long business trips, "it drives itself!" First I buy a drivers seat, then a car around it - this is it!
