    ITS a nice car for the price,a little plain jane on the outside,but drives well and is very quite.

    My first good impressions of this car have gradually degraded to disillusionment. I still like the good performance for such a small economical engine but the noise gets irritating sometimes. Not just the roar of the accelerating engine, but the whine of the drivetrain when slowing down. The smooth ride on well maintained main roads changes to choppy, bouncy and ungainly on secondary roads and the suspension bottoms out with alarming thuds on potholes. My Corolla did better. A/C vents dont adjust upward enough to remove a layer of hot air at forehead level.

  • Best American-made Car - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    I rented the Century for a multistate trip and found it to be excellent in every regard. The power was great, handling was adequate and the features were well appointed. Ive never driven in such a comfortable and smooth-riding car in my life! I recommended it highly to anyone considering a car purchase!

  • Adequate but not compelled to buy - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    Our family of four rented one during our two week stay in Colorado. The 12 years old constantly complained about the lack of room compared to Dads Passat! Overall the engine/tranny are well optimized but still felt light on power. Handling and comfort - well its a Buick - but the seats were exceptionally poor. I still have a lingering back ache from the lack of support. Ive driven Fords (actually own one!) and Chryslers and think the General really has the domestic competitors beat. But he better start benchmarking German cars before Ill buy one.

  • My Lemon - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    My lemon lasted for 4983 miles and then had to be put to sleep. GM is still hassling us around with a refund or replacement after 50+ days. What a disgrace.

  • Great Rental Car - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    Rented this car for 12 days and drove all over Washington, Oregon, and Montanas winding mountain roads at the typical traffic speeds. Very good handling touring car. Good comfort. We own a beloved LeSabre and were favorably impressed with the Century.

  • high quality excellent value - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    purchased the 2002 in february to replace a 2000 century purchased new in feb. 2000. I planned to keep the 2000 a long time but my son needed a newer car so we sold him the 2000 and replaced it with an identical 2002. The 2000 had 34000 trouble free miles. My wife loves the car. Its comfortable on long trips (3 to 8 hours) you arrive relaxed and not worn out.

  • a very cool unexpensive car - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    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.
