1985 Buick Century review from North America
"Tough, good on gas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very sluggish vehicle. Didn't seem to want to move when I stepped on the gas.
Other than that, it was a good car. Had pretty high mileage, but ran fairly well. I would have driven it longer, but I got in an accident with it.
General comments?
Good on gas, I suppose because it was a 4 cylinder.
The thing that most impressed me: When I got into an accident with this vehicle, I was hit on the passenger side front door, by a car doing 45 MPH. The window in the door that was hit was down, and the window never shattered after the door was hit. Basically, my passenger's life was saved by the ruggedness of that vehicle. To me that's pretty amazing.
I am not sure I would by another Buick though. They aren't sporty looking enough for my tastes.
