"Smooth and strong traveller"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front brakes, needed new pads and turning the discs at 80000 miles.

Needed to replace a starter at 75000 miles.

General comments?

I really liked the smooth, silent and comfortable ride of the Century, especially on highway it's like the wheels didn't touch the road! I drove all these miles (24000) in eight months, so I really spend some time on Interstates. You can easily make 600-800 miles a day with the Century and still feel relaxed.

The car was really reliable, no problems besides normal wear (brakes). Also the engine is surprisingly responsive and strong. That makes it fun and easy to drive. Also gas mileage is very good considering the power, 30-33 mpg on highway and some 25 in the city.

Wow, all I wanted to say was that I totally agree with the review!! No libel or slander, just total agreement!! I own a 1989 Century Limited with a refurbished 3.3 litre engine with now about 40000 miles, and it is STRONG. I mean STRONG. And still pretty solid chassis-wise. For a GM car, anyway. (If a Honda EVER drove like this Buick, they would disown it!! Just kidding; it drives remarkably well.) KK from NC.
