1989 Buick Century Limited review from North America
"Everything in a FWD mid-size car a lifelong GM fan has asked for!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had to have the brakes replaced, but that went very well.
General comments?
The pillow-like blue cloth upholstery is nice, interior very clean and well-kept, never been/will be smoked in. The exterior could use some body work, there's some rust and paint chipping (silver-gray exterior), trunk is spacious, ride bouncy at times, but comfortable, AM-FM stereo w/digital clock/cassette player, A/C, power windows/door locks/driver's seat, very well-equipped. I am in love w/this car and hope to keep it for a very, very long time. It is everything I asked for, and thankfully, is the year before they installed door-mounted seat belts. I'm also a lifelong GM fan, so that is also in favor.
