The Buick Century is one of the classic vehicles that can span generations in terms of its applicability. I am a 25-year-old male who purchased a 2002 maroon Buick Century from an elderly person living in a retirement community who was no longer able to drive. I feel that this illustrates the type of appeal that the vehicle can have across a bevy of age groups. The interior of the car was standard cloth and was in excellent condition with minimal wear and/or stains. There was a little over 50,000 miles on the vehicle, and it had no issues of any sort. The air conditioning was in very good shape, and the car also was very smooth on the road at all kinds of speeds. It never seemed to indicate strain while adjusting to different speeds, and the wheel was also very reactive which is what I prefer instead of making grandiose motions. The car is spacious enough to comfortably fit five full-grown adults and a considerable amount of luggage which is great for the holidays when I get together with the family. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for a reliable ride, a nice aesthetic, and an ability to perform a wide array of roles.

I purchased my Buick from my grandparents-in-laws' estate and it was only at 98,000 miles when we purchased it because my parents-in-law used it so much while they were taking care of them. The car was well taken care of before I bought it except when my brother-in-law borrowed it and side-swiped it on dividers on the freeway. Despite this collision, the car was fixed up very nicely, and we've never had a problem related to that collision. A month after we purchased it, the engine was still clear of major problems except for an issue with the spark plugs (I don't recall the specific issue as that was some time ago). What I like the most about this car is how quiet it is, especially when compared to my previous vehicle. Since purchasing the car, I've added another 2,000 miles to it. The only issue with the car I have had is that it only has one outlet in the cab and it's broken. Everything else has worked perfectly well. The trunk and cab are very spacious. We frequently go on trips and so having adequate space for luggage, camping gear, etc. Is a must! Despite it's age and number of miles, it doesn't have any obnoxious rattling sounds. It may not be a sleek, modern vehicle but it has it where it counts: including cruise control, automatic locks and windows, a key fob, a very effective heating/AC system. And so far, it has been very reliable. I'm personally not a huge fan with the overall style and design of the car but until I can buy that Subaru Outback I've always wanted, I'll have to make do. It's 32 miles to the gallon on the freeway.
