1980 Buick Century 4-door review from North America
"The iron buick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing went wrong.
General comments?
This was my first car. "THE IRON BUICK"; somehow it picked up that nickname. I drove this thing pretty hard, had it a lot of places that I and the car should not have been. This car was surprisingly fast! I gave it a good tune up and when you put the pedal down, it would really jump. To this day, 16 years later, this is the most comfortable vehicle I have owned, and it rode like a dream, even being 11 years old when I first got it. You could hardly dent it with a hammer, it was reliable, perfect gearing for city or highway. It actually passed on to my sister as her first car, then to 2 others as their firsts. I kind of wonder where it is now.
