2002 Cadillac Eldorado ETC Collectors Series 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Was intended to be a around town shopping car, but since I work out of town now it is a interstate highway car. Really enjoy the W.O.T. exercise when entering the highway from various rest stops. Fuel mileage is good at 23 to 26 mpg. Plus it just looks good and feels good to drive it.
Favorite Features
The way it accelerates, rides, and looks.
Suggested Improvements
The seats are really to hard and could be a lot more comfortable. Don't care for the cruise control.

2002 Cadillac Eldorado ESC 2dr Coupe (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I've driven three previous Cadillac Eldorados, plus Sevilles. You just can't beat their performance, looks, and just the plain feeling of excellence when you're driving down the street. There's still magic in the name "Cadillac," and I love it. I once had a vanity plate that said "Just coz." When people ask why I drive a Caddy I like to say, "Just coz." Cause I can afford to, I guess.
Favorite Features
I like the classy exterior lines, bells & whistles, and demure but still classy interior.
Suggested Improvements
It it too late to make improvements now since they're out of production, but the grille is kind of blah.
