1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 4 Dr STD Sedan

Review

I have owned this car for several years and the only repair I have had to do is replace the AC compressor. This car is the last of GM's true full-size rear-wheel drive vehicles, and it is a shame they stopped making them. This car excels in practically every area. It's design is classy and turns heads. It is an impressive looking car - long with a big grill in the front and fins in the back. It's ride is smooth and solid and offers unparalleled comfort. The interior room is enormous. No car since has offered the interior room this car has. Even though this car is heavy, the 5.7 liter engine moves it like a champ. You can drive with just a toe on the pedal and it still gets around 20-24 MPG.

Favorite Features

The features are far too numerous to mentions. This car has all of the amenitites and then some! It has power everything and all of the systems are first rate, from the awesome sound system to the climate control. The ride and room are unprecedented and the trunk is nothing short of cavernous.

Suggested Improvements

The main area of improvement would have to be the quality of materials. Although high quality overall, some of the parts are not as durable as Cadillacs of the past. The door handles and side mirrors are plastic instead of metal like they used to be and real wood for the interior would've been nice.

Cruiser extrodinaire

Review

The late Cadillac Fleetwood is the finest highway cruiser ever built. We've taken it on numerous long trips of 500 miles or more and it's always smooth & quiet. The sound system, while not a Bose system as in other Cadillacs it quite powerful. Its rear seat room is unsuprassed. The front leg room is not quite as good, as other large FWD cars, like the Buick Park Avenue. It's solidly built and can last many years if taken care of. The fact that its RWD makes it easy to do some maintenance / repairs on myself. It is an impressive looking vehicle with its size and ample bright metal trim. This was the model for the Presidential limo from 1995-2000.

Favorite Features

Very strong passing power thanks to LT1 engine. Comfortable leather seats with decent side support. Lots of storage in the armrests and map pockets. A powerful climate control system and nice audio system. This car is smooth and quiet. It can tow up to 7,000 lbs, has dual airbags, ABS, passive security all as standard equipment.

Suggested Improvements

The digital dash is terrible. It has an innaccurate fuel gauge, it tells you that you have more fuel than you actually have. It has poor gas mileage, but it is still better than SUVs. It can be hard to park if you are not good at it. There is no dual zone air conditioning.

My favorite Cadillac

Review

My 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood is the tenth Cadillac which I have owned and I wish I could buy the exacy same car in 2005. It's that good. It's rear-wheel drive with traction control and it is a dream to drive on short jaunts and on long trips. It took us to Florida four times ... it's a dream to drive. Every year I track the miles per gallon and have averaged over 21-mpg {total city and country driving) over ten years, which is fantastic. This car is dependable, comfortable, and a pleasure to own.

Favorite Features

This car is wide, spacious, & floats on the road. It has beautiful styling, still looks new, & chrome is plentiful...we have the chrome wheels (WOW). Some of the items that we like best are the fiber optic parking, headlamp, brakelight indicators on front fender tops, and above the inside rear window.

Suggested Improvements

It went away after 1996 model year. Bring it on ... we'll pay the gas guzzler tax to have this luxury.

The last of the "real" Cadillacs

Written by: cadillacmike on 12/23/2004

1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 4 Dr STD Sedan

Review

I had a Black 1970 Fleetwood Brougham while in college-early 80's. It had a 133" WB, 228" LOA, rear footrests, reading lights, etc. But it was a New England rust bucket, so I moved away from Cadillacs. In January 2000, I needed a better tow vehicle, and so started looking for a Fleetwood or Roadmaster. I found both and decided to get a Fleetwood, because it looked better! I found a black Brougham-deja vu! It has every option except the sunroof (the rear lighted vanity morrors are more cool and I have two Cadillac convertibles anyway) and it has the CD player. I put 16,000 miles a year on it with no major suprises. The factory chrome wheels shine & the paint held up well. The engine is still silent & strong.

Favorite Features

I love the LT1 engine, 7,000 lb. towing capacity. The car looks like the Presidential limousine. It has a nice CD audio system, excellent "Cadillac" carpets, soft durable leather seats, and no internal engine / transmission problems. This is an unequalled highway cruising car. It tows with ease, has four vanity mirrors, and is much easier to service than a FWD car.

Suggested Improvements

the digital dash is the worst item on the car. It never gets the EPA fuel economy rating (maybe my 80 MPH driving is affecting mileage), There is no dual zone climate control (the Roadmaster had it !?!). It has less front leg room than my Buick LeSabre. the fuel guage lies to you. I can't find good 235/70-15 whitewall tires anymore!

Excellent Purchase

Review

I'm very happy with my 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It's VERY big - in and out. The interior is VERY comfortable with plenty of room - and pretty quiet inside. It's very soft over bumps but handles surprisingly well. Even though the price of gas is going through the roof, I can't say I'd rather be in anything else. I love big, plush, roomy, luxurious cars. The only car I feel compares to this is the Lexus LS - which costs about $50,000 more at this point.

Favorite Features

Soft ride, powerful (off the line) engine, comfortable interior, very reliable.

Suggested Improvements

Less wind, engine and road noise. Even though it's very quiet, it could be better. The stock stereo system is pretty weak.

Best caddy?

Review

Have a 95 fleetwood brougham, all the features. It has to be the most comfortable cars ive ridden in, especially the back seat. Road noise is a minimum. This is the best highway cruiser available. Not my personal choice for town driving, it feels very long.

Favorite Features

The LT1 engine. Great bulletproof engine, has lots of low end torque, and pleanty of power. I love the interior size, its huge. The powertrain is super reliable, but some of the interior gizmos can fail, but usually don't.

Suggested Improvements

Sometimes it is hard to get comfortable in the front seats, it feels like youre sitting on the floor. It does guzzle gas, but it has a huge 5.7L engine. Gets about 25 MPG on the highway. Also, it is bouncy at slower speeds (less than 40mph).

Review

Mirrors, lights and trim poorly installed and fall off refularly. Transmission has been somewhat problematic with dealer service terrible. Too costly to have them flounder around charging for the wrong solutions repeatedly.

Favorite Features

Styling, comfort and smooth ride are great.

Suggested Improvements

Better body hardware installation.
