1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 4 Dr STD Sedan
Review
I am a lady that loves her 1995 Fleetwood dream car. I've had my car since 1997. I have always taken the best of care for it. As far as the engine goes, I have had to replace the water pump about 3 times, the radiator 1 time, but I do have a lot of good miles on the car. The gear shift needle broke so it shows the needle in park at all times and my mechanic seems to be having a hard time replacing the part. The rear side chrome strips have bubbled, one even peeled, need to be replaced. I love the car so much that I may consider getting a new engine for it one day as opposed to a new Cadillac, they have no class anymore.
Favorite Features
Favorite feature is the size and comfort all around.
Suggested Improvements
More metal, less plastic.

Review
I LOVE this car. Had one other and an Impala SS and Buick Roadmaster Wagon (same b-body platform). Detuned LT1 (0-60 in 8.5 secs) is easy on gas (18/20 city and 22/24 highway)and very reliable. Truthfully, the car will fall apart around the engine and transmission. Some designed-in ergonomic/interior fascia flaws but with bone yards ripe with these cars you've got plenty of cheap replacement parts at the ready. If you're looking for a reliable floaty boaty car, this it it. Tomorrow's collector car, for sure. But then again, how popular are 55 Cadillacs today?
Favorite Features
Style - it's embarrassingly large and fun to drive. Super reliable. And not bad on gas (considering the size and V8 engine. Over-engineered V4P (tow package cars) have oil coolers, transmission coolers, larger radiator, and direct drive cooling fans making one super durable Caddy!
Suggested Improvements
Poorly designed seat controls tear into the leather/vinyl. B-pillar headliner material wears off easily. Long car average length interior - would like to have seen more legroom for front and rear wheel passengers. The length is all in the hood and trunk. Detuned LT1. Sharp door edges.
Good hwy mpg & comfort

Review
A very impressive looking car. Very comfortable, quite, powerful. Mpg in town not so good, hwy very good for the size car, 55-60 mph, I average 30 mpg. So for a long trip, with all of that room & comfort it is a pleasure. Not to mention that we feel very safe in it.
Favorite Features
The looks & comfort are unsurpassed by any other car.
Suggested Improvements
My wifes Towncar has better trunk space and keyless entry on the outside of the door, that is my favorite feature on that car. To bad the Cadillac Fleetwood does't have that. The Fleetwood also has a plain looking dash.
The last generation genuine Cadillac

Review
There's something to be said for riding down the road in your living room, and this car delivers. It is not overly technologically advanced, but for the wide open spaces in Texas it's the perfect road cruiser. The Lt1 Covette inspired 5.7L (350) is spirited and responsive. The car is stunningly beautiful, and still spins heads at 12 years old. It's everything I ever wanted in my string of 9 Cadillacs, and I'm very disheartened that GM is making nothing even remotely similar to it since production stopped in 1996.
Favorite Features
The 5.7L Lt1 V8 and it's 19' length.
Suggested Improvements
Make some more huge sedans

Review
I've had this car for nearly seven years and it is holding up very well, no leaks or corrosion, and aside from the usual items that one would expect to wear out at 180,000 miles. It hasn't had any repair surprises either. This is the last of the big rear wheel drive Cadillacs and it tows my boat effortlessly. I replace the fuel gauge sending unit and it now reads accurately. I still cant figure a way to get rid of the digital dash though. The leather seats are not showing any wear. The misses likes this car for long trips. Her boss calls it the presidential limousine, which is appropriate since the 1995-2000 presidential limos were based on this car.
Favorite Features
The powerful LT1 engine, large impressive styling, towing capacity, rock solid mechanical reliability, very comfortable and quiet ride. nice audio system, and how it has more interior lights than any other two cars put together.
Suggested Improvements
GM should have never stopped making this car, but they should have also never put a digital dash in it either. The fuel economy was never very great, but then again I have a very heavy highway driving foot.
