2002 Buick Century Review
"Buick's lowest-priced midsize car shares its basic platform with the Regal, which targets a younger audience. A 3.1-liter V6 is Century's sole engine. Automatic transmission, traction control, a tire-pressure monitor, and ABS are standard. Custom and up-trim Limited models are offered, both with a front bench seat for 6-passenger capacity; bucket seats aren't offered. Exclusive to Limited are leather upholstery and a side airbag for the driver. General Motors' OnStar assistance system is standard on Limited, optional on Custom."
