2004 Buick Century review from North America
"Very good buy for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a squeak in the steering wheel when first moving the vehicle in the morning;
Also, the front brakes squeal when first moving.
General comments?
The front seats, non power, are extremely comfortable especially for long highway runs.
Finding a place for the driver's left foot when running under cruise can be a tedious process.
As in all new cars, the ashtray is well concealed and hard to find and use.
Excellent standard radio, good reception, and the standard CD player does not skip tracks on rough pavement.
The one problem we are encountering is the high door sill. I have a bad left leg and it is becoming harder and harder to get into the vehicle with any grace.
This car did what it had to do while I was away from home on a remote assignment; it provided my wife with reliable, comfortable, efficient transportation (albeit a bit boring).
