My First Cadilliac!
I just love my 99 Catera Sport!!! It hugs the road and takes the turn just fine like a GM car should. The inside is luxury with the heated leather seats and easy to reach controls. I have no complaints so for except for the storage area upfront. Not enough room for cell phones or anyother stuff. And the cupholder really should be inside of a console. Being all said....I just love my new baby!!!!
Don't buy this car!
I hate this car. I don't know why I bought this car in the first place. So many problems. The repair cost are getting close to how much a bought it for in 04. $4000. The a/c doesn't work at all. Leaks antifreeze. Need to put more in every weekend. Radio turns off and doesn't come back on. Check engine light is always on. It never goes off. Water pump is bad. The cooling system doesn't work. The fans don't kick in time to cool the engine. Gas in horrible in town. 190-210 miles to a tank. Bout 365 on the interstate going 65-70. The tires go bad in 10k miles. What else? Just don't buy this car. Listen to me and you will not burn a hole in your wallet to fix it.
A Very Under rated Vehicle
Just simply a very under rated vehicle. Can compete with the best of the Japanese or European cars in the same price range. Have owned it for three years with no problems at all.
Too little too late
Brakes replaced at 15,000 miles = $400+. Several warranty items replaced. Gas tank must be 5 gallons or else this is the thirstiest car I've ever owned. Poor engine/transmission match; the car wants to shift long before it should to maximize torque. As such the thing is SLOW. Fit and finish is sub-par for a $35,000+ vehicle. My lease is done soon and I will not consider the new CTS. Caddy may have done a lot to upgrade the new car, but I've already been turned off for good.
Fun at a great price
Purchased this car used with less than 30K miles on her. Have own her for 7 years and it is the most comfortable car I have had with lots of bells and whistles on her. She is a fun car to drive.
