The "Century" name has graced significant Buicks since 1936. The version sold between 1982 and 1996 was one of the most significant. That first front-wheel drive Century was one of the most successful Buicks, with more than two million sold. The current Century, introduced in 1997, is designed to continue that success.
Today's Century is a bit larger and roomier than its immediate predecessor, and is sized and equipped to compete in the heart of the midsized sedan class. The Century shares "architecture", to use the Buick term for the chassis platform, with the latest Regal, but different suspension tuning and interior appointments make it a very different car in feeling and intent. With the demise of the Skylark this year, the Century is now the entry-level Buick.
Actually, "entry level" is not a good description of the Buick Century. Even the "base" Custom model is comprehensively equipped with plenty of premium equipment. Features like a V6 engine, "Twilight Sentinel" automatic headlights, air conditioning, power windows and mirrors and remote keyless entry are standard on the Century Custom. As I discovered during a week with one, the 1998 Buick Century Custom is a smooth, quiet, comfortable six-passenger sedan - the perfect entry-level Buick.
