Surprise!!! — After receiving this car from my Grandpa, I wasn't expecting much but I ended up LOVING this car. It was a very large car, but it drove like a cloud and had just the right amount of power for a first-time driver.

Pros

It is a nice car. It has lasted quite a long time. It is almost 15 years old now. This is an extremely comfortable car despite its outward appearance.

Cons

I've had problems with the fuel system, wiper blade mechanism, transmission, and underbody rusting.

A Car That Was Built To Last. — This car was built to last a long time. It is a high quality car. Right now it has 187700 miles on it. The transmission is beginning to signs of nearing end of life. The car's acceleration was great and although it was very loose, it had a lot of power in the V6. Definitely made it feel like you were floating over the road.

Cons

the maroon cloth interior.

My Blahuick Century. — There is nothing about this car that catches the attention. from the outside to the inside there is nothing to peek your interest. This type of detail is brought in through the performance. When you slam on the gas it goes... not quickly, but it still goes. The only exciting part is going around corner too fast and you can feel the horrible body roll.

Highway Cruiser — Build Quality: sound mechanical condition Car Comparisons: looked at a lot of cars before deciding on this one, chose the buick cause it was cheap in excellent shape and had a new engine Performance: its really not made to go fast or take corners at any speed, its just a nice daily driver More About My Car: it looks like the Regal GS Su

High Quality Without Being Over Priced — I have beat the crap out of my car towing trailers and going camping. It's like the energizer bunny. The only maintenance going from 72k miles to 126k miles has been fluids, and front rotors/pads. Of course I added the trailer hitch and stereo.

It was fast for a Buick, with a high powered V6

Cons

It was having  electricical problems when I gave it to my Step Dad

Not For A Teenager — It wasn't a bad car, however it was not a car you would see a teenager in. No really problems, I put a head unit in it and fixed it up a bit. After awhile, maybe about a year and a half I give it again to my Step Dad to take back and forth to work which to this day he uses.
