1980 Buick Century Limited review from North America
"This Buick Century is a good solid car, and a pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?

V-belts.
Tires.
Rear shocks.
General comments?
This car is the most comfortable car to drive I have owned.
It handles and brakes very well, and is surprisingly fast.
The interior is roomy, plush and very comfortable.
All the controls function properly and are easy to reach.
However, the car sits low, and getting in and out of it is awkward.
It would be nice to have intermittent wipers; it's a hassle to keep hitting the switch when there is a light drizzle outside.
No cup holders.
On this model, the rear windows are sealed and have only a vent to open. Not good for me.
This car has no on board computer system, which is a plus for me.
