NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Buick Century Review
"Antilock brakes and traction control are optional instead of standard for 2003 on Buick's lowest-priced car. Century shares its basic platform with the Regal, which targets a younger audience. A 3.1-liter V6 with an automatic transmission is the sole powertrain. The $600 ABS option includes traction control and a tire-pressure monitor. For '03, Century comes as a single model and offers a Limited option package, which includes leather upholstery. A front bench seat for 6-passenger capacity is standard. A side airbag for the driver is optional with the Limited package. Appearance changes for '03 include a graphite and chrome grille and body-colored exterior trim. Inside, there's new door-pillar and roof-rail trim backed with energy-absorbing foam for head-impact protection. General Motors' OnStar assistance system is optional."
