2001 Buick Century SE review from North America
"A decent vehicle, but nothing on it is exceptional"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver seat foam broke down.
Exhaust system developed loud "clinking " after it warmed up.
Drivers side power window/lock cover plate kept popping up out of arm rest.
Heater control broke.
Check engine light, eventually let to several sensor replacements.
General comments?
The car is roomy, very quiet and has a comfortable ride.
Engine is very responsive in the midrange/transmission operates very smoothly.
In glass radio antenna gives poor reception.
