Review

A wonderful Sunday cruiser. You really appreciate this vehicle on the highway, comfortable for over 6 footers and good mileage too! It's a steal for a rare, unique convertible.

Favorite Features

The Driver Info Center is advanced for the time. The exterior is classic Pinifarina and holds up well with age.

Suggested Improvements

The car needs cup holders and a simpler top, but that's the way it is.

Fun Cadillac

Review

The Allante is a unique car and a lot of fun to drive. The Italian body is timeless and looks just as good today as it did 15 years ago. The car needs to pampered, yet I drive my almost every day. Not unusual to get over 21 mpg in combination of highway and city driving.

Favorite Features

All the electronics, and built in fog lamps. This car does everything but talk to you.

My Dream Car

Review

I remember seeing an Allante several year's ago, "What was that?" it made my head turn. 7 years later I could afford to buy my dream car at a Kia dealer with brand new cars selling for $8K. Who would buy a 10 year old car for $16K? Ha! No one knew a diamond in the rough! All the bells and whistles in a convertible disquised under the hard top! With a 3 year warranty it's been worth every penny on a sunny Seattle day (yes, rain too!) I've now extended the warranty for another two more years! How many cars out there can have such luxury/affordability as a teenager of 13? I'm contemplating selling it, but every time I look around nothing can compare!

Favorite Features

Hard top (great for winter rains), Bose stereo, V8 with excellent gas mileage (total oxymoron!) Outside temperature, HUGE trunk! It's a beatiful ROADSTER! Designed by Pinnafarina!

Suggested Improvements

Must bend over to fill gas tank (super unleaded), no cup holder...for Seattlite coffee drinker? After market cup holder $100! $32 for an ignition key? (chip) Ouch! Cha-ching! Get warranty!

Satisfying Fun Vehicle

Review

This was once a bad ass car. Initially selling for $55,000 and up. The engine is a thing of beauty; a durable strong 4.5L V8 with lots of power. The weakpoints on this vehicle would be the convertible top (was not manufactured durably enough as it leaks). The electronic system also has occasional flaws. And, because it comes standard with a Bose sound system, if you want to change anything, you must remove the entire system. All in all a very fun car to own, but not recommended for a day to day driving vehicle.

Favorite Features

Some have the hard top convertible which is a nice addition and the interior is very nice.

Suggested Improvements

Being that this car is no longer manufactured, suggestions for improvements are moot.
