Review

My mother bought this vehicle after my dad died in '99. Thank God for warranties. When it ran out, let the fun begin. They use cheap quality parts and is not equal to the price you pay. Last night, March 20, 2008, the bolts and lug nuts broke off the front tire, leaving only one to hold the tire on, the other one that was on was loose. Today they tell me the hub assembly for the opposite wheel needs to be replaced. WHAT! This car only has 60,000 miles!!! Not to mention the oil leak that was reported back in December '07. That will cost about $6,000. The price you pay for a cadillac is not worth the value.

Favorite Features

Drives good and ride good, when it's drivable. Smooth ride when there's no issue with the tires.

Suggested Improvements

Start using quality parts so the life of the vehicle will last and stop ripping folks off.

Review

I bought this car new! I formally had an Acura Legend. This car has been more reliable than the Acura, nicer to drive and has only had to have a water pump in the first 100,000 miles. My mechanic tells me that the engine should be good to 300,000 miles. My cadillac dealer has been awesome. I would buy another.

Favorite Features

The electronic information which tells you when something needs to be fixed, before it causes a problem.

Suggested Improvements

I like the new design of the CTS.

Review

I purchased this automobile from a dealership in July 2007 with only 19700 miles on it. My first used car, been driving Buicks for years. This car turns heads, mint condition with black on black. Rides better and has options that the 2008 Buick Lucerne still does not have. A wonderful ride and great power. Gas mileage is poor, but I already knew that. Have put 4000 troble free miles on it. Trying to keep it mint. Was able to pick up a two year $100 deductable policy due to low mileage. Never will buy a Buick again. Love this machine.

Favorite Features

Ride, steering and power at take off and passing on highway.

Suggested Improvements

None, for a 99 better then most imports and great quality for American made.

1999 Cadillac Seville 4 Dr STS Sedan

Review

I bought my STS in 2004 with 51,000 miles on it. I paid 13,000 which is a bargain. No other luxury car that came out in 1999 can even come close 2 matching the features for the price. Its not been without its problems. I replaced the brakes and rotors, and a power steering hose. My left side mirror is loose and the right passenger door molding fell off. There was a little bit of vibration between 70 to 80 mph but a good set of Michelin tires fixed that. There are a lot less problems than I would expect out of a 8 year old car. The car has never broken down on me. It only did not start once but the battery was completely dead.

Favorite Features

The Bose stereo is awesome, engine transmission are excellent, guages and display ave very nice, the seats are very comfortable and supportive, and are powered in every way I can think of the over all feel of the car makes you realize where the term it's the Cadillac of blank, came from

Suggested Improvements

Air conditioned seats, smart key technology, more back seat space, more cup holders, a nicer trunk, better placement of the battery maybe in the trunk, 6 cd in dash changer 18 inch rims and michelin energy tires standard, also a tire pressure monitoring system would be nice

Review

Bought used and have owned this auto for 6 years now. 2 set of tires, 1 set of brakes, oil sending unit, front engine mount, center console lid, minor coolant leak and of course the extra quart of oil between oil changes. She has been a great car. Exceptional power to gas mileage ratio. Very quiet on the highway. Leather is the best quality that I have seen. Styling is still head turning. I have recently noticed that in turns the steering is sluggish and between 65 and 75 mph the car trembles. I have not had this trouble investigated. Occasionaly the computer system acts up with a variety of curious issues. Overall dependable, enjoyable, powerful well worth the price I paid.

Favorite Features

Northstar. Leather. Ride quality. Rain sensing wipers(these are incredible)

Suggested Improvements

Fit and finish of cabin materials. Visibilty (Drivers front pillar). Would have been nice to have this body style and rear wheel drive. Don't like the new STS
