Faults:

The main issue now is it seems to go through fuel pumps very quickly. I've replaced probably 5 in the last 8 years. Anyone else had this problem, or knows what might cause it?

General Comments:

This Century is very comfortable and a very good road trip car.

Faults:

At 160K miles, the water pump went out. That was repaired, and so far nothing else under the hood has gone wrong.

The electric controls for the drivers side seat broke at 145K miles, and now the seat is unable to change positions.

There are side panels separating the side windows that have fell off, and will not stay on. There is also a lot of wear on the seats.

The cup holder broke off years ago, and the arm rest/storage compartment are completely in shambles. The cardboard inside the arm rest is bent and it is unable to close anymore.

The plastic light covers on each side of the outside head lamps (yellow bulbs) have broken out. I see this same thing happening on most other Buick Centurys (1990-1996) I come across.

The car is extremely reliable. In the 8 years I've owned the car, I have not had to do anything to fix it except for replace the water pump, and your average maintenance repairs. It has nearly 200K miles on it, and it runs great. I trust my car.

I have had it this long, and haven't wanted to replace it. I've decided that my next car will definitely be a Buick.

Faults:

Had to have the alternator replaced once.

Gas tank was replaced (it rusted out)

A few belts, plugs, brakes... nothing major though.

My trunk lid is very rusted, so I try not to use it.

General Comments:

I have to let the car run for about 10 minutes when its cold outside (under 30 F). I don't like getting into a cold car anyways.

This car has lots of room in it.

It goes great on the highway, definitely keeps up its speed!

The heater and A/C work great.

This has been a great car for me, I got the car for free, but my mother in law only paid $1,200 for it.

Faults:

Nothing.

Just inherited this fabulous car with 50,000 original miles and perfect leather interior. Car has been taken care of pristinely. Am thrilled with the luxurious interior, sound system, a/c, overall spaciousness and road trip driving. Plan to keep this as a collectible. Keep it waxed, covered and garaged. It feels ever bit as good as a Cadillac. This is definitely a keeper. Never knew Buick was such a fabulous car.

The only things I have ever had wrong with this car, in the entire time that I have owned it, are things that I have done myself - i.e. accidents and such. The car is still in wonderful condition, even after all of this time. The only reason that I rated comfort a 7 is because the car is a tank and is relatively hard to park for new drivers. But other than that, the car is great. I am definitely thankful to have had this as my first car, despite how unattractive it may seem.

As of recently, the only problem I have is this belt that snapped off (I can't remember what it was called, I am sorry, but it made my steering wheel lock up and I had to pull over). My dad looked at it and it was just from the normal wear and tear - easily and cheaply replaced.

General Comments:

The only complaints I have about the car are it's handling and size. You have to slow down a lot for turns, so as long as you're not a speed demon then you're okay :)

The seats are very comfortable, the ride is always very smooth, and it is a very easy car to drive and maneuver.

If you are transitioning to a Buick Century from another car, the size may be hard to adjust to, but that really is the car's only downsize.

I haven't had to replace anything in the car except that belt, brake pads, and tires from normal wear and tear over the years. This car has been a very cheap car to maintain, and for that I am fortunate. I would highly recommend this car!
