"A quality car, with acceptable fuel economy, and good performance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The optional carriage roof has began to split its seams.

Front windows have failed repeatedly.

Headliner adhesive has failed, due to exposure to cigarette smoke.

Stock stereo failed after approximately five years of use.

General comments?

Excellent fuel economy, coupled with the stability associated with a front wheel drive vehicle.

Adequate pick up in urban conditions. Moderately stable on freeway conditions.

Seats are comfortable, yet lack sufficient bolstering when cornering.

Rear ingress/egress is difficult.

I have also had problems with the automatic windows in my 1995 Buick Century. First, my front driver-side window would barely roll down, and would get stuck when it would roll down. Now, neither of my front windows will budge at all.

I have had problems with several "cosmetic" components of my car, but mechanically the car is very sound. It also gets very good gas mileage, particularly considering that it is a 6-cylinder.
