2004 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"Great value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tighten emergency brake.
General comments?
Comfortable sedan, good room inside,
trunk has lots of room.
Very soft and comfortable ride, quietness is very good.
Heater, C/D radio, comfort controls,
steering wheel, cruise control are all
located and operate perfectly.
Assembly quality is excellent, no need to
adjust any part of the body, doors, hood
or trunk lid.
Paint quality is just acceptable, orange
peel is evident on the hood and trunk lid.
Engine is very powerful and transmission is quiet and smooth shifting to include an nice powerful
growl from the exhaust system.
Gas mileage is outstanding, about same as the 4 cylinder cars in this class.
Car came with cheap General tires.
Was surprised when I realized that the
dash has no tachometer, a standard for
cars in this class.
Styling is average, looks just OK.
Reliability is excellent so far, does not use any oil at all, very tight and quiet ride.
