Spacious and comfortable to drive

Lots of space, decent gas mileage, ac like a dream, couch like interior makes it comfortable. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the way the middle console in the front is. Too large and when it broke it was completely impossible to take out. If the previous owner had taken better care of the vehicle it would be great exterior and interior.

97 buick

Had one that my dad gave me. after the factory engine gave up, we put a new one in it. drove the car for another year until the intake gasket started leaking antifreeze into the crank case. after that repair the car didn't quite run right. it would hesitate and stutter when I wanted it to go. I will not own another gm 3100 again ever.

Extremely Reliable, Runs Forever

Overall a really great, reliable car with fantastic gas mileage. Owned a Buick Century Custom for years and years, and it has never had any problems, never broke down, always ran perfectly. They're very spacious and comfortable and a good sized car. Nice cold air conditioning in the summer and great fast heater in the winter. Good for the mid-west! Safe, and sturdy! The kind of car you can put 300,000 miles on and it will still run perfectly. This car lasts forever!

A great car

We bought our 1997 Buick Century Limited used 5 years ago, it has been great. Mileage is 20 city, 30 road. We also own a 2001 Toyota Camry - the Buick is our preferred car. Both get the same gas mileage, comfort of the Buick sells us. Rust is a concern.
