1997 Buick Century Test Drive

After 15 years, Buick finally updated its venerable Century. The Modifications were necessary to survive in a market dominated by the Camry, Accord, and Taurus. The 1997 Front wheel drive Century had an all new platform with a stiffer body structure for a more comfortable ride. It was larger in almost every dimension than its predecessor. The Custom and the upscale Limited are the only two trim levels available.

This new for 1997 Century was a vast improvement over the previous model. Though not exciting, it had what Buick buyers wanted – a cushy ride, tidy acceleration, and a comfy interior.
