My '93 Brougham
I have owned my fully-optioned Fleetwood Brougham since new in 1993. The car now has 165,000 miles and it has never had a single problem. It is garaged and well cared for and most people ask if it is new when they see it, even after almost 14 years. I have bought many other cars in the interim, but will always keep the brougham and my 2002 Thunderbird Blue T-Bird which now has 5,000 miles on it after 5 years. The 1993 Fleetwood Brougham is the equivalent of owning an American Rolls Royce and should be treated and valued accordingly.
Oldie but Goodie
I purchased this car through the original owner. It has about 103,000 miles and still drives great! I have an Escalade and a SRX. My wife & I took the Fleetwood to Colorado last summer, because it has the best gas economy of all of them. We averaged over 25 mpg overall on the trip. It rides great, has good handling, and is very stately looking. I get compliments much of the time. A lot of car for the money.

Yes, Virginia, size matters.
Sitting down in my Brougham evokes the same feeling I get when landing in the States from an overseas trip - I'm home! Big, comfortable, reliable, and fast, it's the pinnacle of rear-wheel drive, four-door sedans, and is everything an American car should be. Some of my friends chuckle--until they ride in it, and then their reaction is one of amazement and longing for days gone by. When I nail the gas pedal, their eyes pop open. Other than normal maintenance and wear items (shocks, hoses, that kind of stuff), I've had no significant problems. The car runs like a champ and has excellent fit-and-finish. Uncomplicated controls, all the useful gadgets you'd want. Love it.
WARNING: Object in Mirror is Faster than it Appears
I am a "Car Guy"/long time 1/4 mile drag racer so hopefully this review won't be too technical for the average reader. After months of searching I located and purchased my '95 FWB with less than 70K miles from its 93 year-old original owner who resides in So Cal. My search was specific, as I know how to read GM option stickers (located under the trunk lid) and interpret RPO option codes. In this case I was looking for Option Code V4P, which this car had and I will discuss in the next section. The car is roomy, comfortable, and an attention-getter. I had owned the car just two hours, and I received multiple compliments. Having owned LT1 cars in the past I know they are dead reliable.
eas
I LOVE this car. Had one other and an Impala SS and Buick Roadmaster Wagon (same b-body platform). Detuned LT1 (0-60 in 8.5 secs) is easy on gas (18/20 city and 22/24 highway)and very reliable. Truthfully, the car will fall apart around the engine and transmission. Some designed-in ergonomic/interior fascia flaws but with bone yards ripe with these cars you've got plenty of cheap replacement parts at the ready. If you're looking for a reliable floaty boaty car, this it it. Tomorrow's collector car, for sure. But then again, how popular are 55 Cadillacs today?
NEVER BUY A LINCOLN
I LOVE MY 93 CADDY. I HAVE 179,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A TUNE UP. FAST AS A SON OF A GUN. I KEEP IT VERY CLEAN, I HAVE VOUGE TYRES AND STAR WIRE TRU SPOKE WHEELS ON IT. IT ALWAYS TURN HEADS WHEN I DRIVE IT ON NICE DAYS.I LOVE THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE ABS. I HATE MY 99 LINCOLN TOWN CAR.
Land Yacht!
I purchased a one owner '93 Fleetwood Brougham with 33,030 miles on it. I've been looking at these cars for 20 years and now it's "home". I drove over 600 miles in one day and arrived as refreshed as when I left. Imagine floating across the highway at 75 mph seated on a full sized leather sofa. When our kids are in the car they whisper and say that it reminds them of a library. I'm only sorry that these beautiful American Dream Machines are disappearing. Update: I've gone from 33,030 miles to 66,500 miles on the odometer with no mechanical issues. She is as smooth as glass. No regrets concerning this purchase.

Big and Beautiful !
I purchased a 1994 Brougham with 107,000 miles on it. This nearly nineteen feet long land yacht is a pure Joy to drive. It's like sitting on a lazy boy on a cloud. The interior is huge and comfey, very quiet and bumps and pot holes are barely felt. The leather is super soft and looks great. The LT1 Corvette engine gives you a great deal of power this beast can really move when you need it. My favorite part is the super smooth steering so effortless and smooth. I'm getting tremendous gas mileage very easy on the wallet. This Cadillac has the comfort and feel of the great Cadillacs of the 1970's with modern amenities and fuel economy of today. I simply Love this car. Best vehicle I've ever owned.

The last generation genuine Cadillac
There's something to be said for riding down the road in your living room, and this car delivers. It is not overly technologically advanced, but for the wide open spaces in Texas it's the perfect road cruiser. The Lt1 Covette inspired 5.7L (350) is spirited and responsive. The car is stunningly beautiful, and still spins heads at 12 years old. It's everything I ever wanted in my string of 9 Cadillacs, and I'm very disheartened that GM is making nothing even remotely similar to it since production stopped in 1996.
repairs
I am a lady that loves her 1995 Fleetwood dream car. I've had my car since 1997. I have always taken the best of care for it. As far as the engine goes, I have had to replace the water pump about 3 times, the radiator 1 time, but I do have a lot of good miles on the car. The gear shift needle broke so it shows the needle in park at all times and my mechanic seems to be having a hard time replacing the part. The rear side chrome strips have bubbled, one even peeled, need to be replaced. I love the car so much that I may consider getting a new engine for it one day as opposed to a new Cadillac, they have no class anymore.
Big Daddy Caddy
What a great road car!...My 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood is quiet and soft. Its comfort personified.
I Can't Let It Go!
I truly appreciate my '93 Fleetwood Brougham called Big Blue. I purchased this car with 70,000 miles in '99 for $12,650 and now it has 255,443 miles, and it has never let me down. The engine,trans,differential,exhaust are all original (never rebuilt or replaced) I maintain it regularly & completely. I enjoy driving and I have traveled from D.C. to Colorado(numerous times), Texas, North Carolina,& Florida. I drive 76 miles to and from work every weekday on one 23 gallon tank of gas and I still have fuel left for the weekend. This car has a smooth ride(a big long rear-wheel-drive ride) and pretty good power too(even though the power was further improved in '94-'96 240 horsepower LT1 engine).
The King of Automobiles
I have owned this car for several years and the only repair I have had to do is replace the AC compressor. This car is the last of GM's true full-size rear-wheel drive vehicles, and it is a shame they stopped making them. This car excels in practically every area. It's design is classy and turns heads. It is an impressive looking car - long with a big grill in the front and fins in the back. It's ride is smooth and solid and offers unparalleled comfort. The interior room is enormous. No car since has offered the interior room this car has. Even though this car is heavy, the 5.7 liter engine moves it like a champ. You can drive with just a toe on the pedal and it still gets around 20-24 MPG.
Good ol' Caddy
I bought this car with 57,000 miles and in 21 months have driven 50,000 trouble-free miles. I love the ride and with the 350 I get right up to highway speed. I cruise at about 80 MPH and still get 21+ MPG. All on regular gas. The trunk is cavernous and interior is spacious. I'll drive this one another 100K, then try to find another low mileage example of this fine Texas-built Cadillac.
Keeps getting better with age...
I've had this car for nearly seven years and it is holding up very well, no leaks or corrosion, and aside from the usual items that one would expect to wear out at 180,000 miles. It hasn't had any repair surprises either. This is the last of the big rear wheel drive Cadillacs and it tows my boat effortlessly. I replace the fuel gauge sending unit and it now reads accurately. I still cant figure a way to get rid of the digital dash though. The leather seats are not showing any wear. The misses likes this car for long trips. Her boss calls it the presidential limousine, which is appropriate since the 1995-2000 presidential limos were based on this car.

The new FLEETWOOD
Great car-ist. new Fleetwood in 17 years the BROUGHAM package made the car and with the added options of leather/cd/sound system & security package plus a CADDY ride-what a car.....
Good hwy mpg & comfort
A very impressive looking car. Very comfortable, quite, powerful. Mpg in town not so good, hwy very good for the size car, 55-60 mph, I average 30 mpg. So for a long trip, with all of that room & comfort it is a pleasure. Not to mention that we feel very safe in it.
Cadillac Fleetwood
I am a Canadian who purchased this in the States. Should know in advance that upgrading to Canadian standards will cost you a few thousand. Plus time. Do everything in advance.
Big Body Fleetwood
The best new style lowrider vehicle made. I mean this car along with the 93 and 95 Cadillac Fleetwoods where made to lowride. I Love them and i have a 93 myself.
It's Big and It"s Fast
I'm 60+. I've owned a bunch of crs, some have been kinda special, [ '65 corvair corsa,terbo] {'69 MGC/GT] ['74 Jag XJ12L]. Overall this is the best.
A Two-Ton Sports Car!
This truly full-size sedan is probably the best Fleetwood ever made. I’ve owned several Cadillacs and I’ve found this car to be a great combination of the Chevy Police Chassis and Drivetrain mated with the Cadi Fleetwood body. The engine is the LT-1 Corvette 350, 4-sod. automatic with overdrive, heavy duty brakes, electrical system, and luxurious leather upholstery. The front seats are heated plus adjustable in countless number of ways……great for anyone with back issues. I am able to drive all day long and still get out and walk normally. It’s a joy to drive and ride in.

Best caddy?
Have a 95 fleetwood brougham, all the features. It has to be the most comfortable cars ive ridden in, especially the back seat. Road noise is a minimum. This is the best highway cruiser available. Not my personal choice for town driving, it feels very long.
My favorite Cadillac
My 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood is the tenth Cadillac which I have owned and I wish I could buy the exacy same car in 2005. It's that good. It's rear-wheel drive with traction control and it is a dream to drive on short jaunts and on long trips. It took us to Florida four times ... it's a dream to drive. Every year I track the miles per gallon and have averaged over 21-mpg {total city and country driving) over ten years, which is fantastic. This car is dependable, comfortable, and a pleasure to own.
Cruiser extrodinaire
The late Cadillac Fleetwood is the finest highway cruiser ever built. We've taken it on numerous long trips of 500 miles or more and it's always smooth & quiet. The sound system, while not a Bose system as in other Cadillacs it quite powerful. Its rear seat room is unsuprassed. The front leg room is not quite as good, as other large FWD cars, like the Buick Park Avenue. It's solidly built and can last many years if taken care of. The fact that its RWD makes it easy to do some maintenance / repairs on myself. It is an impressive looking vehicle with its size and ample bright metal trim. This was the model for the Presidential limo from 1995-2000.
Big Bertha
I love my big caddy. I wish I could have kept the dashboard from splitting. I wonder can tis be a recall item because I have seen the others do the same thing. My car has always been in the garage. It rides with ease and now has 91,000 miles on it. I had it tuned for the first time last month. It didn't drive like it needed it, but I want to keep it in tip top shape.
1993 Fleetwood
The car overall is really nice. It just reached 70,000 miles but has been in and out of the shop for electrical reasons. The security system is a nightmare. The steering column had been taken apart and redone and it still continues to act up. When its road worthy it's a blast to drive.

MS 1995
Mirrors, lights and trim poorly installed and fall off refularly. Transmission has been somewhat problematic with dealer service terrible. Too costly to have them flounder around charging for the wrong solutions repeatedly.
Excellent Purchase
I'm very happy with my 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. It's VERY big - in and out. The interior is VERY comfortable with plenty of room - and pretty quiet inside. It's very soft over bumps but handles surprisingly well. Even though the price of gas is going through the roof, I can't say I'd rather be in anything else. I love big, plush, roomy, luxurious cars. The only car I feel compares to this is the Lexus LS - which costs about $50,000 more at this point.
The last of the "real" Cadillacs
I had a Black 1970 Fleetwood Brougham while in college-early 80's. It had a 133" WB, 228" LOA, rear footrests, reading lights, etc. But it was a New England rust bucket, so I moved away from Cadillacs. In January 2000, I needed a better tow vehicle, and so started looking for a Fleetwood or Roadmaster. I found both and decided to get a Fleetwood, because it looked better! I found a black Brougham-deja vu! It has every option except the sunroof (the rear lighted vanity morrors are more cool and I have two Cadillac convertibles anyway) and it has the CD player. I put 16,000 miles a year on it with no major suprises. The factory chrome wheels shine & the paint held up well. The engine is still silent & strong.
fleetwood
