1993 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"A good overall no frills Buick that gets the job done"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the horn buttons has come off, and one of the trim rings on the wheel has come off.
General comments?
This is a great car for the money. It doesn't handle and get up quite as nice as my 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SE did, but it drives very nice. Very comfortable on the highway, plenty of passing power, though its very sluggish off the line. The transmission is has very smooth, solid shifts. The ride is a trifle bouncy over dips, but otherwise it rides like an expensive big car, nice and soft, but supple enough for taking corners at moderate speed, especially with a good set of tires. My only major complaint is the seat cushions aren't long enough to accom,adate for taller people.
