Review

Had to get things replaced like an airbag light came up on the dashboard. When speed up to 60-70MPH it would rattle (got fixed) After a long drive shut it off and then you try to start it up again and it takes about 2-3 tries. Overall a good ride.

Favorite Features

BOSE system, heated seats

99 STS

Review

I drove a Concurs prior to the STS. I GOT OUT OF THYE CONCURS AT 235,000 miles. The STS is a delight in every way an automobile should be, however be prepared for a lot smaller car, especially in the rear seat and trunk. Every Northstar owner I have talked with will agree these things drink oil. It does not show up on the garage floor or the tail pipe, but always carry two quarts in your trunk.

Favorite Features

300 HP

Suggested Improvements

Find out where the oil goes.

Review

This was a birthday gift to me after a Nissan Altima. I wish it had the extra 25HP like the STS but it seems strong and dependable. I am not afraid to take curves at any speed and the ride is silky smooth. After months I still receive compliments from strangers! Everything works as advertised especially the Bose stereo! It is the best radio/CD/CD changer that I have ever used.

Favorite Features

Bose Stereo and the ability to adjust the power seating to many positions.

Suggested Improvements

Visibility to the side is poor due to the pillars. Same for the front. Sterring wheel can obscure the speedometer in certain positions and the cruise control lever is hidden by the streering wheel. Have to use it by feel/memory--Otherwise Buy this car!!

Bad Brakes

Review

I think this is one of the nicest looking cars on the market. Engine performance is great. Problems: Brake rotors, brake rotors, brake rotors! I'm tired of getting them replace and turned. Cadillac doesn't seen to care about this problem and their customer service is powerless therefore useless! Also the goodyear tires have to go.

Favorite Features

Good looks. Nice amount of power.

Suggested Improvements

Better brake rotors. Better tires. Customer service.

"Should I" or "Shouldn't I" ?

Review

Like many other car buyers I like to do a little research. I checked on the vehicle recall list (nothing). Checked "carfax" (nothing). I read quite a few reviews, and for every review that gave it favorable remarks, there were 2 comparing it to foriegn cars, and knocking the Caddy. I like the style, but didn't want something I would be dissatisfied with-in a few months ("should I" or "shouldn't I")? This voice kept playing over and over in my head. I figured with only 26K miles, it was still under warranty, so I took the plunge. I am glad I did, I am very happy with the car.

Favorite Features

Styling, performance, smooth, quiet ride. With excellent creature comforts.

Suggested Improvements

A little sturdier design for some of the dainty items (glove box, and console lid)

Seville "Gamble"

Review

Took a chance at the auction on a '99 Seville. She had 44k miles so I hedged my bet with at least a couple of months of factory warranty left in case there was something seriously wrong. Much more of a car than I would of bought had I not gone the auction route ( had been looking at $20 -$25 thousand new vehicles)

Favorite Features

Lots of power and its only the SLS (not STS). I can only imagine what the faster one would be like. There are lots of gizmos that took me a bit to learn and get used to but it seems like everone has a useful purpose.

Suggested Improvements

None in the four months so far. I have heard horror stories about repair costs but so far I only put tires on her (normal cost for a full size, 16" vehicle) and I put brakes all the way around. They were a couple of buck more than the average car but nothing that spooked me.
