To date absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car. Nor do I expect anything to. This is as solid a car as I have ever driven and in spite of my previous penchant for small cars I have driven a fair few North American cars on business travels.
I have been and continue to be delighted with my purchase.
If you want a boy racer's car you are in the wrong market although the engine offers plenty of assurance that you can accelerate out of trouble.
I have never had any reason to test the top speed as the motorway speed limit always comes first.
Breaking is solid and assured.
Ride quality is comfortable if a little wallowy by European standards. But then no one buys a Buick to throw it into corners.
All the gadgets you need are here, cruise control, ABS, traction control, power windows, power driver's seat and so on.
My personal favourites are probably the automatic headlights and the additional side-mounted 'turning' lights that come on with the indicators to provide light into the turn.
These are nice cars, my 98 Century has been a great car in the 6 years I've had it. Mine has 116000 miles on it, & runs like it's still brand new. This car doesn't owe me a dime, either.
I inherited my Grandfathers Century and I agree on the quality of the car. The motor is strong and it actually climbs pretty quick to about 110 mph until the governor kicks in. The ride is soft and the car tends to roll in turns, although you can't have that soft of a ride without body roll. My previous car was a Mitsubishi Galant. I liked the styling of the Galant better, but that's about all. I feel that the Century has 5 times the options as the Galant had for about the same price. My favorite feature is the low tire pressure warning and the heated mirrors.
