Stans Report - 1997 Buick Century
By Stan - January 24 - 8:39 pmThis car has been very reliable, and very economical to operate. I now have 62284 original miles on it. I buy new ones when I reach 60000....This car delivers 35, yes 35 miles per gallon on the highway--really hard for me to believe also. It is in pristine condition. A good wash job is all that is needed to put her back on the showroom floor. The ride is very smooth, as it must be that special something Buick has done with its suspension.

great mid-size sedan for young family - 1997 Buick Century
By Mike U - June 2 - 2:00 amBeen great, despite perception of "old mans car". Havent had any mechanical/electrical problems at all. Comfortable ride & front seating. Back seating (knee room) can be tight for adults/larger teenagers (it is a mid- size, not full-size, sedan). Good in snow. Handling is fine for everyday driving. Test drove Nissan Altima same day and there was a big difference going around curves in favor of the Nissan. Century had more rear headroom, softer seats.

97 Lesabre - 1997 Buick Century
By Bill - December 20 - 2:00 amVery dependable car. I have had no expence other than normal maintenance, gas, oil changes, tires. It gives a very comfortable ride, It keeps its appearance well. I plan to keep this car several more years. Power and performance is every good. Nice car for family or mature person. Probably would not appeal to teens.

Great Car - 1997 Buick Century
By tpalya - August 26 - 2:00 amQuiet and comfortable, we bought this car used and have been happy ever since. Replacing factory tires with Goodyear Regatta-2 improved handling and ride beyond belief. Great family car, reliable and inexpensive to operate.

Ride your living room couch! - 1997 Buick Century
By ddouglas2 - August 15 - 2:00 amI love this car! It has all the bells and whistles and has been very reliable. The only problems weve had have been from zero maintenance the first 75000 miles before we bought it. After a transmission rebuild its been flawless.

Iriss - 1997 Buick Century
By Iris Flower - July 31 - 2:00 amThe vehicle has been reliable. No problem starting, no stalling. Rides comfortably on rough roads. Has ABS that work well in inclement weather. Automatic lights at dark are convenient and the daylight running lights are a safety factor. Instrumentation is convenient. Trunk is roomy and has a net to hold small items.
