2003 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"Great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a periodic vibration from the front drive train. I have replaced wheels and brake rotors,as well as balancing the tires, but it is still persistent.
There is a small water leak around the trim in the rear window.
General comments?
This car has been very reliable. I drive throughout New England and Canada on a regular basis for work, and the car has performed flawlessly.
The car gets over 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The best has been 34 miles per gallon. City driving has been respectable as well coming in at over 20 miles per gallon.
There is a nice balance of standard features for the money including cruise, power windows and locks, quiet ride, solid sound system and comfortable ride.
