I love my car, except it has burned oil ever since I got it. Also, the headlights only work when they want to. Everything else works, light-wise. The air conditioner does not work. The front grill underneath the hood is falling down. I don't like how I have to use premium gas either. I get 18-19 miles per gallon. This car has a great stereo.

Luckily I bought an extended warranty with this car. Nothing but trouble. In the three years that I have owned this car, I have been to the dealership 22 times. This is unacceptable. I never had anything this problematic when I drove cars made in Japan. Reliability and build quality are not a part of GM enginerering it would seem. I will never buy American again.

If Cadillac ever get's their act together, look out for the rising of the Seville.I found this car to be very exceptional on the road, especially for trips longer than 6 hrs. Never had a mechanical break down and the only issue that I can readily think of right now is the ridiculous use of plastic fasteners used for certain parts. Other than that, this car delievers you from point A to point B, and it tempts you to take it beyond the original planned trip altogether. Smooth pull aways from BMWs and other luxo rides, are frequent occurances. Now, if only they could put in that supercharger....

THIS CAR LEFT ME STRANDED 4 TIMES. OIL LEAKED OUT COMPLETELY. ALWAYS GET EXTENDED WARRANTY; YOU'LL NEED IT NO LEES TAN EVERY 3 MONTHS. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR, I ASKED DEALER TO BUY IT BACK AND THEY OFFERED ME HALF THE MARKET VALUE! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CADILLAC!
Cadillac is the way to go

I purchased my 97 Cadillac SLS used in '02 with 90k miles on it. It is now 2010 and has 160,000 miles and not 1 major repair has been needed. The only thing that was done was I've changed the shift solenoids in the trans twice at $500 per pop. That was the only problem I have had. I love this car and the reliability that she has given me.
