She's not as sensitive as she looks.
It has no abs brake system. Parts wear out quicker than most should. The rocker panels rust out quickly.

Not so bumping Buick, get it?
Everything's very comfortable as far as the interior goes. Have not had many problems with the car itself. I do not like the speakers in the car though. They are not loud enough.

My car is in well condition, even though it breaks down a lot.
I like my buick. It is a blue buick. A beautiful blue buick that I take care of. However it rusts and falls apart.

It runs as well as any newer car.
I like that even though my vehicle is an older car, it runs great. It is roomy, so I can fit three car seats in the back. That comes in handy a lot. The only thing that I do not like about it, is that it shows its age outwardly. I still love my car, either way.

Short List of Complaints for this Old Buick Century
Due to keeping up with scheduled maintenance ie; oil changes, tune ups, fill up gas ect this car has proved to be reliable. As old as this car is, no major issues. It was driven by an elderly couple before myself so mileage still fairly low . (142,500 miles) There are no special features, only stock radio and no aux port or even tape deck (lol) to hook up your phone to it. Seats very comfy but backseat came so high u can't see anything behind you even with mirrors. Entire undercarriage is rusted to point that anyone getting in or out of backseat takes big chance of needing a tetanus shot if it gets you. I even put something there to cover it if my dog is going to jump in because I fear the jagged rust may cut him. The motor for power windows/doors has been replaced once and within 6 months was acting crazy again. Trunk is huge. No cup holders or armrest in backseat. Like I said very basic. Paint on hood is also all peeling off. Not bad for 15 years old. That rust is my biggest gripe for obvious reasons. Thanks

It has been breaking down a lot over the last two years that I have been driving it. But it does ride smoothly and is ok on gas. I wish I had a different car though. The back window on the passenger side leaks pretty bad when it rains.
It's not very reliable. Sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. The gas gauge is broken. I think the fuel pump needs to be replaced.

Maintenance free-just put in gas and change oil every 3 thousand miles
Have no complaints other than I wish it was a little larger. At age 71 I do not get in and out easily

Oldie but goodie, should run for many more miles with no problems.
My car was bought new by my mother and spent most of its time in her garage. It was left to me when she died. The car is still in perfect shape, now only 70k on it. Everything works like new. It uses very little oil and the motor purse. It has a really good radio which I always have on. The heater and air conditioning both are in perfect condition.

Reliable for an older car

It is a reliable vehicle, and having a six seater car is really nice.
It's a hand me down car that cost me nothing. My main complaints are that the cd player smokes if you try to use it and there is damage my aunt and mom caused when they each owned it and didn't have it repaired. I dislike that to unlock the car with the faab it honks. Overall in the year I've owned it. It has been reliable. I like that the radio shows the song title and artist name scrolling. I love that it seats 6 people, and that has come in handy when my sister and her kids come to visit!

Buick century. Good condition.
I have had to put a lot of different work into this car. Small repairs large repairs. Window motors, air conditioning, regular upgrades. Rust had to be grinded off n panels replaced. I bought from a dealer so that may be the problem. Most over all it is still in good condition no major issues with body issues.

Buick Century: A lot of bang for your buck.
I really enjoy my Buick Century. It is the Limited trim package. It has motorized front seats, and the entire interior is leather. It has a premium sound package complete with CD and tape deck, along with AM/FM radio. It drives smooth and to me is high quality for the price of the vehicle. 7/10 would recommend.

Is heavy and low to the ground so it can handle really well.
It has been working really well for me for a few years. Only recently have we had any problems with it. But all of the problems have been really easy to fix. Other than that it handles really well, and has decent gas mileage. After a while you may have problems with some of the lights and wiring.

Purchased this vehicle new in 2004 and as far as dependability it is been great. Very little repairs. Have made certain to have oil changed on a regular basis.

Buick Century 2004: Reliable Car
Because it is an old car, the bottom of the car has rust and cosmetically it does not look good. But it is a good car to drive. I enjoy driving it going to and from work.

Decent car considering it is used and 14 years old.
I was surprised to find out it had automatic headlights, which I love. Spacious. Hard to reach bulbs for license plate, headlights to replace them. Bought used so it does have issues. Check engine light will not go off. Has duel heating controls, but the passenger side does not work. Blowers do not work on high. Radio volume automatically goes down when you slow down/stop, but goes back up when you pick up speed.

Awesome car, crummy windows.
I have owned my 2004 Buick century for six and a half years now and, like many millennials, have driven it very hard and very irresponsibly (read: waiting until the last possible minute to get down on that oil change and brake pad replacement). Despite this, and a 120 mile round trip commute every week day, this car has been a dream for me. The gas mileage I get is generally around 400 miles per tank, highway, and has not faltered from that as the years have gone by. Mechanically, it has always been sound and reliable, with the exception of the electrics in all four of the doors. I have replaced the window mechanisms in three of the doors twice and one of the doors three times. I wound up putting so much money into the chronically sticking and/or falling windows that I had to pull the door panels off and put screws in so that the windows would stop falling every time it snowed or rained.

Solid car with few problems.
More or less, there have been relatively few problems with this car. Of course there are the normal wear and tear things I've had to deal with, such as oil changes, brakes, tires, and bulbs. The biggest problem that I have had have been with the power windows. After tine, the motors used to power them either burn out, or they become disconnected from the window. It's a little bit of a pain, but I have been able to find the parts on amazon for much less than factory parts, and there are tutorials on YouTube on how to fix them properly.
