Review

The 1993 Cadillac Seville STS with 295 HP on board, the Northstar 4.6L made it a legitimate performance car. Additionally, such items as equal-length driveshafts, a new electronically controlled 4T80-E transmission, fluidic engine mounts and Bosch ASRIIU traction control, are just a few items of technology packed into the 1993 Cadillac Seville STS. The 1993 Cadillac Seville STS displays fine road manners and a rock-solid feel, thanks to a stiffened chassis. Its road noise was reduced, and its improved engine-mounting better isolated the V8 from the passenger compartment. Its acceleration is brisk with the 4.6-liter engine, never lacking for strength whether in the city or on the highway.

Favorite Features

The speed-dependent Computer Command Ride adds to the secure feel of the STS. The stiff tires give the STS impressive handling. Its head room is ample, in the front and rear. Adult knees aren't likely to press into the front seat back. The wide rear doors make entry/exit a snap. The engine produces the sweetest sound.

Suggested Improvements

There has never been a Cadillac sedan like this one when it comes to performance. In fact, there aren't many sedans that measure up to this kind of performance.

Best Engine Ever Made

Review

Not only does the Cadillac Seville house the best engine ever made, but it's also a blast to drive. The comfort is amazing, the power is astonishing and yet you still can get 27 MPG on the highway. Amazing. The car has a very sleek look for it's age. I was amazed by the looks of it. I thought it was a 2001! Simply put, it's the best car I've ever owned.

Favorite Features

My favorite feature would have to be the engine for how reliable, effiecient and powerful it is.

Suggested Improvements

Absolutely nothing.

Review

I purchased my 1993 Cadillac Seville from a little old man with a tall stack of dealer receipts.This car was a cream puff, and for only $7,000! Everything was fine until about six weeks ago. I had done the usual (tune-up, regular maintenance, battery, alternator). All of this was very expensive, but what the heck, I had a sweet Cadillac that I planned on enjoying for years to come - Wrong. The transmission quit at just over 100,000 miles and shortly thereafter the vaunted Northstar engine backfired so severely that the intake manifold shattered. $1,600 hundred dollars later I am now afraid to even start this heap of junk and will be forced to sell. I am a lifelong Cadillac fanatic who was hoping they finally turned the corner after that long 1977 - 1989 drought, bit I was wrong.

Favorite Features

The powerful motor and creature comforts.

Suggested Improvements

This car was terrible in the snow. Also try some quality control-I was left stranded three times in two years by a weekend car that was babied it's whole life. Think long and hard before buying these glorified garbage cans - I am not alone with this tale of misery.

Review

Eleven years of roomy, comfortable, powerful head turning pleasure. Maintainence includes brake pads, oil changes, one radiator hose and one radiator( in the tenth year). It's understandable why MT selected this model as Car of the Year for the second consecutive year in 1993. All this with an annual depreciation cost of about $2,600 per year.

Favorite Features

Leg room in the front seat. Heated seats with heat in the back rest. Simple controls that do not require stopping the vehicle to safely change radio, tape/cd or heating/cooling controls.

Suggested Improvements

An AMG-like upgrade to both handling and performance as an option. More leg room in the back seat.
