2004 Buick Century Review
Four-wheel disc brakes are standard for 2004 on Buick's lowest-priced car. Century shares its basic platform with Buick's Regal, which targets a younger audience. A 175-hp V6 with an automatic transmission is the sole powertrain. ABS is optional, but 4-wheel disc brakes replace a front-disc/rear-drum setup. The ABS option includes traction control and a tire-pressure monitor. A front bench seat for 6-passenger capacity is standard. A side airbag for the driver is available with the optional Limited package. OnStar assistance is optional.
News
After a "short" run of 2005 models built in March-October of '04, Century bows out. One reason is that century-old Buick wants to move upscale to fill market openings left by Cadillac, which has been pushing upmarket too, and a "value-priced" Regal doesn't fit the plan. Effectively replacing Century, though with higher expected list prices, are lower-line versions of the 2005 LaCrosse, basically a heavily updated Century/Regal.
