1986 Buick Century cusyom review from North America
"A decent and reliable automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far up to this point, I had to put 2 water pumps on it, I have rebuilt the alternator, replaced the belts numerous times, the upper motor mount (also known as the dog bone) and 4 valve cover gaskets.
General comments?
The car is a decent car, handles fine, and gas mileage is also decent. The only thing about this ride is the engine. The 2.5 engine was a big mistake as it has absolutly no power at all!The car should have had a standard v-6 period! Save the 2.5 for the history books!
