  • Love my Century! - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    I think this is a very underrated car. After owning unreliable Fords and Pontiacs, this is by far the best car I have ever had. I dont know why everyone refers to Buick as an "old mans car," Im 30 and I think this car is way cooler than the Honda Civics that you see everyone driving.

    I have had two Buick Century : a 1989 model and a 1998 model. Both were great cars, very reliable and SAFE. The 89 model pulled a boat, ended up in the lake!, was wrecked once by me, then totalled several years later by my husband. Neither of us was hurt in either accident! We bought another Century in 1998. It never needed repair..I loved this car! Unfortunately I wrecked it a few weeks ago it was totalled but I walked away without injury! This is the main reason that I want to buy my 3rd Century! ! Someone said it must be a bad-luck car for us, but I say no! We were well- protected in those accidents!

    Traded in a Buick Park Ave for this car.This is an excellent car for the price.While it does not have the ride and comfort of the Park Ave this car comes close in every other regard.The workmenship is excellent and every control in this car is easy to reach and understand.As for calling this an old mans car I disagree.I am middle aged and just wanted good car for my money.This car fits the bill.

    If the 2002 Buick Century is your first choice for a new car, you may want to reconsider. If a cars looks, interior ergonomics, handling, and performance characteristics are important, then you probably shouldnt bother with this Buick. The Centurys six cylinder engine is anemic its radio-tapedeck sound systen is awful and its glove box is so small it barely holds a standard size road map. What were the designers thinking? The really sad part is that car makers design and build cars like these - lacking in every respect, and then have no qualms about expecting consumers to pay $20,000 for the experience. B. Randall

    After my first 1000 miles of driving this car I find it to be under rated and a true value for the owner. I really like its ride. Its power is average for a family car. One gets a lot of loaded features for a great price. Ive driven better cars, but not at this price.

  • My Old Friend - 2002 Buick Century
    By -

    I bought my first car 20 years old. I bought a used 76 Century. I loved that car. I took a huge bath by trading in a 00 Volvo S40 that was mechanically unsound to come back to an old friend. Im glad I did it. This car gets better mileage than the Volvo and I know it wont be in the shop every four months. I like the ride and have no problems with the handling. I guess its what youre used to. I also have a 91 Reatta and have owned 2 other Buicks.

  • Welcome to dullsville - 2002 Buick Century

    I recently rented one for a weeklong roadtrip. The car is compentent and best on the highway, but I would never buy one. The interior is soft and comfy, the controls are mostly in the worng places. At one point we seated 6, but not comfortably. Five works fine. The ride is soft and spongy, typical American car feel. The engine cruises on the highway but sputters when you try to pass or climb hills. The ride is quiet and smooth. Driving on tight turns in this thing is a nightmare.
