"my mom owned a 95 blazer that had many problems. when its transmission went out my parents decided to buy a different car to replace the blazer. fourtanatley my grandma had to give up her car which was a 99 buick century. my parents payed her $4500 for it in 2008. were going on our third year with the car and really have only done maintnence. the only problem we had was a dirty fuel injector, but it was because of the gas station we were taking it to. im 16, i drive this car often and think it doesnt have enough power, not an exciting car for someone my age but better for older people. my only real complaint is theres NO CUPHOLDERS in the car. otherwise not a bad car"

"I have a herniated disk in my back and I spent a little more time looking, was going to settle for a malibu, but glad I didn't....for the same gas mileage , you can get way more comfort, and styling in the buick...looks great too !"

"I totally agree with no way jose's comments!! My car has had all the same problems and in addition to that I've had to replace two fuel injectors, water pump, and have had problems with the heating and ac. I have lots of rust on the bottom, my odometer light burned out along with the tail lights constantly going out. If it is raining or I use the wipers, the water pours into the car on the window control buttons which has caused them to short out and not work."

"I'm almost 60 and have only owned highly rated smaller cars (honda, toyota, chevrolet prizm, geo metro). My criteria for vehicles has been bargain price, reliablity, economics, functionality, and to be intelligently green (Notice the adjective "intelligently"). 100's of hours I've spent on the internet comparing reviews on different vehicles and so didn't purchase Buick Centuries previously because EPA mpg ratings were lower than I wanted. However, a 2005 Buick Century for $8000 with only 30k previously owned by an elderly couple who had passed away was for sale only 5 miles away. On a whim, I offered $5ooo and the people who had just inherited the car sold it to me! After changing the oil and getting new tires I got 36 mpg on a 1500 mile trip, and 32 mpg in stop & go traffic on the way back. I about flipped a cork..wondering why I had bothered with small foreign cars all these years (Was because of goofie & inaccurate EPA ratings?) I still get amazing milage and it's so comfortable and safer than my little cars. Anyway, another 1999 Buick with only 22k was 200 miles away which showed up on cars.com and I got it for $5100. The Century's are basically the same styling 1997 through 2005 so every thinks it's a 2005! Even my teenage son loves it because "It's a cool gun metal gray." Go figure. Some arrogant people have said, "Oh, that's the small Buick, I have a Lasabre." ...Like I really care what they think. People would drive a battleship if it had wheels in their quest for ever bigger vehicles but the Century is plenty big enough for me. I'm selling my two toyota corollas."

"Underside of car rusts easily, causing break line(yikes!)and muffler issues. Electrical is of poor quality, the dash and signals burn out semi frequently. Rains into car if window is even slightly open and wipers will push water directly into window onto main power window control. Interior lacks as well, can't get into the trunk from inside of the car and NO CUP HOLDERS!?!"

"Forget Toyota, Honda and Nissan this is a much better car for the money. Why people insisit on paying rediculus pices for Japanese cars is a mystery."
