This car is amazing. To be able to out perform many other luxury cars on the road and still maintain a very comfortable ride while doing so. This car has extremely fast acceleration and excellent road sensing suspension. This car is very fun to drive all the time.

These car is extremely fun to drive albeit the 300hp ETC tends to "nosetail" at full push. Get it with Bose system and the ride only gets better. It lumbers in evasive manuevers, but the sheer "push you back in your seat" will impress. This car depreciates so bad, it's a great buy in any used condition. Reliability?? Too much fun to think about the fact this car has 3 fuseboxes.

I bought this car used, fully optioned, with a cabriolet roof and chrome on the top of the front and left fenders. It is Crimson Pearl with a tan interior and added extra Zebranno wood. It looks very distictive. My family are snow birds, it is what you need when going from Canada to Florida each year. In the three years of owning this car the brakes and battery are all I needed to replace. I had lent it to my 83 year old mom. I haven't seen her or my car for awhile.

Picked up a beautiful 95. 32V Northstar with 104,000 miles on it for $1200. Tweeked a few things and an new AC compressor So for about $2200 I have a great running, powerful luxurious Caddy. I’m 70 and drive maybe 4K miles a year. Everything works burns a bit of oil but couldn’t be happier. Only complaint is I’m 6’5” and a bit low to the ground getting out

Should have got a Lincon Mark V111

Like the elegent styling, especially with Vouge chrome wheels, white diamond paint, and rear spoiler. Was searching for a clean '98 Mark 8 but couldn't find one, so I bought the Eldo on looks alone. Sorry, but it's style, no substance. Why does the auto industry rave about the Northstar? The Ford V-8 feels much stronger and doesn't suck a quart of oil every 1500 miles. My first V-8 front wheel drive car - and last. Tourqe steer, nose dive, and loose, bouncy ride (feels like an offensive lineman's sitting under the hood). Noisy interior for a luxury car. But like a trophy wife, she sure is pretty and kind of hard to give up!
