  • Great all around car - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    Great all around car. Fuel economy 20 - 22 in town, 30 - 34 on trips. Adequate power. Runs at high speeds effortlessly. A lot of interior room and trunk space. Good ride and handling, good visability. No problems to date, absolutely reliable We bought it new for just under $ 20,000, very well equiped. A really good car for the money.

  • Decent Daily Commuter - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    Acquired at 1 year old and 9K miles on it. Ride quality, steering, power, and comfort have all been more than adequate and often pleasurable. Nice base features, all around a nice car. Been in twice for warranty work - rear tail light assembly and right rear power window motor. Although inconvenient, the servicing dealership was superb in every way. I am somewhat nervous as my warranty expiration is approaching. So Far - So good. No significant complaints. But I dont have any experience with these cars at 3 years plus.

  • Reliable, Comfortable and Economical - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    I bought this car new three years ago and I am very pleased. Nothing has gone wrong. I especially enjoy the bench seats - I can seat six people in a car that is not really that big. I get 31 mpg on the highway - incredable for a mid-size car. The only improvement I would make would be a little more power. I wish it came with the 3.8 litre engine instead of the 3.1

  • Transmission bad at 69,000 miles - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    Transmission had to be replaced at 69,000 miles. Buick does not stand behind their product. I will never purchase or suggest anyone else purchase a Buick and it used to be the car of my dreams!

  • Why you should buy a boring Buick... - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    You may think this car is just for old folks. Well, its not. Im in my early 30s and was sold on this car after driving many different brands as rentals. For the price (under $20K) I got a great sedan with lots of standard features. It is the most comfortable car Ive driven for long hauls (500+ miles w/no leg soreness or neck stiffness at all). It is family friendly, very reliable, and looks good, too. Give it a chance... for the $ it is well worth it.

  • Smooth ride - perfect for families - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    Our Buick is a very comfortable vehicle that I very much enjoy driving. At 30 and 27, we are well below Buicks target age, but I wouldnt trade it for anything! We have had no problems with the car other than the driver door needing to be re-greased and a tendency for the brake light to come on when the parking brake is set on an incline (nothing in the computer and the dealership says it is working according to specs.) all of which was addressed at about 31000 miles. Fuel mileage is fine - actually great on the highway. I would definitely purchase another one. My only gripe so far has been with the remote access key fob (see below)

  • great value quiet on the road - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    looking for a quiet car this is it I cannot believe the change in road noise with this caar. the side mirrors need to be redesigned I must readjust them when I want to park the car I love the way the back seat folds in 2 parts and the fact that both front seats are completely adjustable handles well on and off the highway great mileage too

  • Great Family Car. - 2001 Buick Century
    By -

    If you are looking for a solid performing, roomy reliable car at reasonable price, this is the car for you. Solid Buick make with alot of extras for the price. Great car for a growing family like mine. Engine is smaller than the Regal or LeSabre but since my car is used about 7000 miles a year, it was fine for me. Highly Recomended
