2001 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
The car was alright for the first 25000 miles. Since then We have had it in the shop 11 times.
Favorite Features
By having this car, it has made me loook at other brands. I will be driving a new LEXUS come the first week of FEB. 2004.
Suggested Improvements
They need to build them like they used to. Lower the price as they are to HIGH for what you get. Thank goodness the Cad dealer is also the LEXUS dealer, which is the best dealer in the world.
Am I Satisfied ? ?

2001 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I truly love the car. Very responsive. Can't believe it from a car of this weight and size. Very impressive from the start of the engine. However, I use a quart of oil every 2500 miles. I also have a 2000 DeVille that uses a quart every 1500 miles. Great engine, if you can keep oil in it.
Favorite Features
Responsiveness to the gas pedel. Fuel economy. Back up sensors. Style. Just fun to drive.
Suggested Improvements
Get the engineers to find out why an engine of this quality uses oil at the rate they do.
SLS is a great car

2001 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
My '01 is a really great car, but as the other reviews have stated, I have had my share of warranty work, transmission mounts, seat heaters, those awful Goodyear tires, (I traded mine in at 18K miles for Michelins.)I just passed 50K - glad I bought an extended warranty. Love the awsome Northstar power, love the ride, love the style. I believe the new rear-wheel drive debuting next year will be a world class vehicle.
Favorite Features
The power of the Northstar. The fit and finnish of the interior.
Suggested Improvements
Quality control of the major mechanicals would be a major plus.

2001 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This vehicle suffers from some small problems; one is a noisy steering column;the other is a problem with sensors; it repeatedly tells me to check tire pressure when nothing is wrong. The third is a probem with the ashtray lid- it is not reliable; it is hard to keep closed.These problems aren't worth my time at the dealership, but detract from an otherwise excellent car.
Favorite Features
Excellent ride; except for steering column, a silent car; the STS has a bit stiff ride, but is not uncomfortable. Superb sound system; excellent fuel economy. If GM could overcome the small flaws, it would be a 10+ car.
Suggested Improvements
Correct the problems with the electronic sensors and the steering column noise. "U" joints used for Chevy do not belong in Cadillac.

Review
Perfect for first 20k miles. Then; Crankcase sensors, front end problems, and now the battery post broke and fell off.As the battery is under the rear seat, who knew? and the acid filled the well under the seat.Mechanic said it is not unusual and the acid may eat thru the metal. Love the car, hate the reliability. Thank goodness for the warranty, but it has to go.
Favorite Features
Appearance, sound system, ride and safety.
Suggested Improvements
Fix the apparent crankcase problem. MOve the battery.

2001 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is an awesome car with a few major exceptions. First and foremost, the suspension is so sensitve, you can't keep the tires balanced. Michelins are essential, as the factory Goodyears are junk and have no business on this car. Also, too many electronic "doodads" that fail. Mine has been in the shop several times for failed sensors. A great car to drive overall, especially when the tires are balanced!
Favorite Features
Overall driving pleasure and midrange acceleration.
Suggested Improvements
Put only high quality tires on this car, and add a little quality control to all the electronic sensors and gizmos on this car!

Review
Acceleration seems slow and the car feels too heavy. The front wheel drive with 300 horsepower causes the traction control to come on constantly in slick conditions. I replaced the factory Goodyears with Michelins and it improved. Lots of little problems need fixing, thank goodness its under warranty. The interior is nice and comfortable and the sound system is good. Lots of standard features. Definitely not a drivers car. Huge first year depreciation hit. Consider a purchase it performance is secondary to comfort. Even smarter is buying one a year or two old and avoid the depreciation hit.
Favorite Features
Heated seats front and back, reverse parking sensors.
Suggested Improvements
Put this car on a diet (reduce mass), make it all-wheel drive to correct the traction issues, stiffin the body.

2001 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I like mine,I give it 2 big thumbs up. However, I believe that the electric gadgets is to much to go wrong. It's the closest American made car to the C- 5 Vette, in a "4dr" you can get. From the deep floor pans for leg room to the 300hp Northstar it's 1st class sport luxury.Brand new mine ran 15.03 @ 96 MPH in the 1/4 mile.I have raced and BEAT many Mustang GTs on the street from a roll-on. With it's massive weight it's not a trill outta the hole but once you get it moving, HANG-ON!Now that mine is broke-in i'm certain it would run 14.80s or better.
Favorite Features
The response of the 300hp Northstar is awesome for a luxury car in this class. I like all the luxurious electronic features BUT i'm afraid it'll be to much to go wrong as the car ages.The wood-grain features are very elegant and stand out with style.
Suggested Improvements
The electronic tilt/telescopic wheel is a bit to much. Moon-roof should be STANDARD equipment. Front brakes need much improvement.
