Review

MY BLACKCHERRY STS, WAS PURCHASED WITH 37500 MILES AND CAME WITH THE GOLD PACKAGE, VOGUE GOLD STRIPE TIRES RATED @ 140 MPH. THE NORTHSRAR PULLS HARD ALL THE WAY TO 145 MPH [I RAN OUT OF SPACE IN N.D.] AND THE FRONT END OF THE CAR STILL ROSE WHEN I FLOORED IT AT 145 MPH! THE STS RUNS FLAT @ HIGH SPEEDS AND FEELS VERY STABLE. HOWEVER, DO "NOT" RUN ANYTHING LESS THAN Z RATED TIRES AS THE STEERING IS SO TIGHT THAT MY S RATED TIRES WILL SLIDE 2-5 FEET IN A HIGH SPEED CURVE AND IT'LL GIVE YOU A REAL RUSH!! UPDATE YOUR AIR FILTER TO A K&N FILTER AS YOU WILL GAIN 250 RPMS @ SHIFT POINTS AND INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE 2-4 MPG.[I GET 23 MPG @ 75 MPH ON CC. --TRY ONE--

Favorite Features

THE BOSE SYSTEM IS A MUST FOR CRUISING!! SEATING IS SUPERB, ESPECIALLY WITH HEATED SEATS. THE CAR SEEMS TO PERFORM BETTER AS TIME AND MILEAGE GO UP!

Suggested Improvements

I HAVE THE SLIDE GUIDES ON THE MOONROOF REPLACED TWICE AND @$500.00 EACH TIME, IT'S IRRITATING. THE STS SHOULD COME WITH A FACTORY 70000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTEE. THE 12 DISC CD CHANGER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AFTER WARRANTEE @$600 EACH!

Review

I have loved this car for the last 4 years!! and then the extended warranty ran out!! Just got it back after a transmission overhaul at 64,000 miles. My last two Cadillacs had far more miles and no problems. Mechanic told me the North Star has oil leaking problems, as does mine. Think it's time to switch.

Review

This car can nickel and dime you to death. In 2 years of owning this car I have had problems with... Suspension, Transmission, Driver Seat Conroll Module, Passenger Door Lock, Trunk Pull Down (Worst car feature ever), Starter, Electric windows.

Favorite Features

Lots of Room, Lots of cigerette lights so I can plug in so much stuff. (4 lighters in the car!)

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of the Trunk Pull Down, or at least replace the plastic gear with a metal one, improve the electrical system.

Review

The car feels, looks and drives luxurious. The outside mirrors are huge, but don't give visibilty to warrant their size. I've had a Rolls Silver Spur and several Lincolns,I really prefer this size wise. The ride is great.

Favorite Features

Ride.Touch controls fr radio and temp.

Suggested Improvements

Smaller, but functional outside mirrors- I've bumped these on the garage entry twice.-It's better than bumping the car!

Review

Bought the car used in 98 with 35k miles now ahve 72k. Car looks great run good but had to replace struts at 65k miles. Cost $3k, yes $3000 also had the battery go bad and the dealership charged us $100 to read the computer...our fault we don't deal with them anymore. The car also depreciates more than average

Favorite Features

memory seats are nice, engine runs great but ours uses a quart+ every oil change.

Suggested Improvements

keep workin on the relaliablity

Review

I've owned 8 cars in 25 years and this is the best one so far. Comfort is great and the gas mileage is wonderful for a big powerful car - 30 MPG @ 75 MPH with 1000 lb of passengers and luggage! The only real problem so far has been a leaking rack & pinion at 65,000 miles - cost alomost $1,000 to replace. My prior car was an '86 Lincoln Continental. The Caddy is ten times better.

Favorite Features

Wonderful engine and butter smooth automatic transmission. Heated seats are my wife's favorite feature.

Suggested Improvements

I wish memory seates were standard on my SLS

This 96 Cadillac SLS has been to the shop only 2 times both under warranty. one of them on tranny. other insignificant. Recent mileage on the road, 25.5. Very lively for its bulk. Quiet and comfortable. Drawbacks. Difficult to read instruments in daylite High initial price and high depreciation

Favorite Features

Power comfort and "goodies" such as automatic headlights and self-dimming mirror etc.

Suggested Improvements
