Absolutely amazing car, lucky to have as my first car, it was in bad shape tho. got it for 1000 sold for 2.5. Hard to let her go, the car has so many little features that even today's cars lack.
Great Car, Even With The Broken Parts

There are a lot of problems with this car, but I attribute this to the high mileage. It has over 180,000 miles. Although the ABS is broken, Traction Control is broken, AC/Heat in drivers vents is broken, trunk leaks, rear cig lighter is gone, burns oil, the covers for the rear turn signals fell off (in the car wash), trunk popper is broken, I still LOVE this car. I love the sound system. I love the ability to overtake most anything on the road. It is very comfortable. I love how it can take unleaded fuel (thank God for that). When people say how "so much stuff is broken", I say it just has a personality.

Bought the caddy used in 2007 and put already 20,000 miles on it. No problems so far. Fun to drive on highway and interstate. Gas mileage is quite good. Sometimes I get 26/gal. Uses more oil than any of my other cars. Dealership says it's within normal limits. Doesn't smoke or leaks oil though.

Bought this car used with 20,000 miles on it. Loved the looks and it was my first experience with a Cadillac. After the first two weeks the car wouldn't start and to have two starting sensors replaced. Then the tilt steering went bad, with those two items being covered by warranty. It was downhill from there. Have spent over $8,000 on car repairs in 5 years, not counting the potential cost for replacing a blown head gasket because I just traded it today. It has been by far the worst car I have ever owned...and oh yes, the car would shift into neutral when I drove it through water puddles when it would rain. I have a friend who is a cadillac mechanic and he couldn't figure it out.

The STS is beautiful to look at, comfortable to drive, and you couldn't ask for more speed. However, the handling leaves a lot to be desired - I've driven trucks that corner better. But, the worst feature of the car is it's absolute lack of reliability. The car is in for service several times each year. Some items have been repaired multiple times. The problems are both mechanical and electrical.

if you buy one of these out of warranty you're gonna wanna put about $4,000 in a safe for that rainy day when your head gaskets or cylinder heads fail you. You're also going to want to set aside $150 semiannually for replacement of the front door Bose subwoofers. And you're going to want to put aside $70 weekly for gas because the car breathes it in. You're going to wonder why your engine shuts off at a stoplight the day after a rainy day. You're going to want to put your hazards on so the hasty driver behind you won't beep their horn when the light turns green after yours shuts off. You're going to want to change that dexcool annually, forget what the manual says. Three years later you're going to wonder why you bought it.

I am up to 129,000 miles. Still getting about 28 mpg highway, and 18 city. The biggest issue is the sound system speakers going "tinny". I have replaced two and need to do another. Had the a/c "serviced" and two years later I am still ICE COLD! Comfort and economy. Struts blew at 105,000 I went with aftermarket and the ride is fine, I do have a suspension warning light issue I ignore now, bought resisters to fix it but havent bothered. I'm very happy with this $12,000 used car I have driven 5 years now.
Great car

I bought this car used with 45000 miles on it. Purchased a 100,000 mile extended warranty. This was a great car to own until the mileage hit 100,000. Then it started to cost me a lot of money. The car had constant oil leak problems which apparently are common with the Northstar engine. Some of the interior components are low in quality for what you expect from a Cadillac e.g. cup holders, garage opener knobs, seat adjustment controls. All broke. Other than the reliability issues, this was a great car to own. Powerful and smooth drive. Nav system, rear parking sensors, wiper sensors, leather seating are all great. Some parts are no longer available after 10 years.

From the day that I purchased this car, I knew that I would like it. It drives well, and although I had early problems with it, lately it has performed very well and I have had only minor problems with it. I think the style is great, the sound system is excellent, and the comfort is off the charts. It rides very smoothly up to about 65 miles an hour, but I believe that there is a problem with the springs on all of the 2000 models where it becomes noticeably shaky until about 80 mph. The size isn't what I was hoping it to be. It's very roomy, don't get me wrong, but now that I think about it, it is a little bit big for my needs. The gas mileage isn't so great, but that isn't too important to me.

I bought this car used in 2007 and I really loved it until while I was driving the car would shut off. It was so quiet that you didn't know until you went to make a turn and the wheel would be locked. That cost a lot. It was a sensor. They don't tell you how expensive the parts are. The car will run great and I love how I can pick up and move on the road. I don't like that every other week I have this car in the shop and people are ripping me off on parts.

I bought this car used with 140k miles, I've put about 12k miles in the the last couple of years. I LOVE this car, but it's really expensive to keep up and I'm getting ready to sell it and get a Lexus LS400. The car is sexy, fast and comfortable, but everything goes wrong on it. It leaks coolant, probably has a bad head gasket, it starting idling rough, has the known vibration issue above 60 mph...and other minor issues. You would think that a car that was MSRP $54k would be built a bit better.

Follow up to my review of buying a 66k used SLS in 2006. I am getting 32mpg on 300 mile highway trips. I now have 108,000 miles only issues since 66k is a blown speaker, new aftermarket front struts ($400) and a coil pack ($500). I am getting a little bored with the car but I still love the great highway MPG's and climate control that is so easy to use. This car eats up the miles. I am still happy.

This has been a great vehicle. We traded our 1998 STS for a 2000 STS with low miles because of the infamous oil leak on the '98. That problem was expensive to repair, $3,000 - $4,000. We bought this one used with a warranty because we just enjoy this car! It has been great for a 2000 model. It has no squeaks, no mechanical issues, and still runs like the day we first got 'er.

What a fun and comfortable car. The expense to repair items is a little disheartening. The car avg's 12.5 mpg with city driving but on the hwy that goes up to 20.5 mpg. The ability to seat 3 kids in the back seat is a plus but for adults the leg room is a little tight.

Grand style, easy to take care of, small gas tank not good for long trips, easy to live with, repairs and service very nice compaired with the BMW I had before this auto, nice power from the V8 that I never get tired of. The BMW fit like a leather glove, the Caddy is ALL AMERICAN- heavy duty and in your face!

I love to drive this car and I think it is beautiful. However, there is something going bad about every month. New alternator, 30k miles, brake rotors turned 60k, new pistons, water pump, bearings 65k, all under warranty. Other repairs, about $3000. in 15 different repairs all before 95,000 miles. Bose radio is very good however the CD and cassett player has no tone control. Compared mine with new Cadillacs and found the same thing. Changing the Bass up or down made no difference. Complained to dealer and they said that is just the way the Bose is. Complained to Bose and never got a response. We never listen to music on this junk sound system. A friend also had new pistons in his 2002 Cad.

I am a European from Poland and I am surprised that Americans have opinions that Cadillac is a luxury car, these cars are full of plastic, which crackles after a year from new, I drove the 2017 Escalade and the cockpit started to fiddle after a year of driving, the automatic transmission is a failure somehow, slow, each gear change is felt where in Europe city cars 20x cheaper than escalades have better gearboxes and quality finish of some elements. The suspension is only suitable for driving straight ahead at higher speed and sudden turns, the car has a tendency to tip over onto the roof, a shame for the brakes, I know that the car is heavy, but the car brakes like a tractor in the field

Very dependable, nimble, gutsy, clean lines, comfortable inside, tight steering and ride. I am very pleased with the car. Althought lacking the materialship of the MZ/BMW, it lacks the price tag as well. I would recommend this car for the price.

I'm a car nut, and was in search of a lower cost high comfort second car. (wife's Toyotoa Highlander was too small for me on road trips). I have put nearly 7,500 miles on this car in three months. I considered a used Lexus, Buick, BMW 700L, and Jaguar. This Cadi rocks, the BMW's interiors didn't age well (all cars wer 4-6 years old). Lots of broken stuff. this was the same for the Audi A8. This Cadillac's only problems are seat heaters (front) and a brake sensor fix for $65! Take that German cars. I never thought I would drive a Cadi, but I can not fault this car, I would buy another in a moment! I get 28 MPG on highway and nearly 20 city! My Olds Alero only got 18 MPG in the city.

Great car, reliable, super performance, engine is probably the finest and most efficient on the road today. Problems with a/c, climate control and tranny. After several returns to dealer and 3 yrs, finally got a/c repaired. Tranny? Not yet repaired.

If you can afford the price of a brand new cadillac at least every 3 yrs, you should be ok. Buying a used one is a big no/no. Engine and electronics are short lived, i regret i bought a used one. Step son got a nissan (similar year and mileage) it runs like a champ, minor issues out of poor maintenance. Both cars were bought around $2k.

I checked this vehicle on Car Fax. Paid the 19.99 fee. Clear title reported, no problems reported. This car has mechanical problems out the wazoo. Only 25,000 miles on the car. The ABS doesn't work, the steering is sloppy, the accelaration is erratic. The console wood has been re-painted. This car is dangerous to drive. Be cautious of a Car Fax check. I don't think anyone would buy this car that was Cadillac Certified and Car Fax certified.

2000 Seville STS has been a joy to drive in comfort and style. The instuments with computer options for each driver are exceptional. Seat comfort for all passengers is supurb including four dual level seat warmers. Sound system with CD cartridge and in-dash is excellent. Computer adjusting ride sensors work to perfection. No mechanical problems.

We leased the STS after comparing it to the following vehicles: Audi A6 4.2, BMW 540i, Lincoln LS V-8, and MB E430. The STS offered more car for the money in our opinion, and prefferred its ride quality and exterior styling. Our lease is over and our experience was a pleasant one. The car was a great highway cruiser, it handled well, had decent power, and the ride is amazingly smooth. Reliability was fair, the car needed a few trips to the dealer for minor warranty stuff. Overall, the car was solid.
Great car but very poor gas mileage

I bought this car with 70000 miles on it. I have driven it hard for two years and it now has 112895 miles. Not a damn problem. She is a beauty, she a has a great body and boy does she have a personality. I previously had a 96 STS and was some what let down with its somewhat fair build quality. BUT, now I am convinced that CADDY has changed And I will be buying more RELIABLE cars from Caddy and so should you.

This is a fantastic vehicle. Bought used but low miles and in perfect condition. Power, Styling, Comfort, and features are world class and exceeded my expectations. Seems to be holding value very well relative to miles ( key is to keep miles on low average side ). Was disappointed with life of OEM Goodyear Eagles, just put new set of Bridgestone Turanzas' on, can already tell difference in handling. If you can find a STS 2-3 years old with less than 30k mileage, BUY IT ! great car at half price of new.

The 2000 Cadillac Seville STS has a lithe, supple ride and handles very well. It gets up to 25 mpg. At 80,000 miles, the only non-scheduled maintenance that I have performed was the installation of a new abs system and a fuel pressure regulator.

After being a very satisfied owner of a Cartier Lincoln Town Car and had reservations about repalcing my Town Car with a Seville. MY Seville exceeds my Town Car in every area except the rear seat. I test drove a Lexus and a Jaguar before I purchased my seville and I was very favorably impressed wih my seville. The interior appointments areecxeptional and rival any other luxury car. If it were called a Lexus, BMW,or Mercedes, the pinheads who write for automobile magazines would rate it higher. There is an obvious bias against American Cars by the automotive press. The Seville STS is a very underrated car.

Bought car used in July 2006. 73K kilometers, now 165K. LOVE the drive, the incredible Bose sound system, the handling and the acceleration. I have a bad back and the leather seats are sooo comfortable and great support. Sight lines are fabulous. Runs quite and no outside noise. Little things too. Pop the trunk and it opens right up, don't have to lift it. Open the hood and you don't have to put up a bar to keep it open. Everything is colour coded. Uses REGULAR gas. Great gas mileage on the hwy. Strong car too. Was rear ended and barely felt it. The seat seemed to wrap around me. Bumper had a big dent but the front end of the other car was a mess. Downside is the maintainance.

MY car would stall when it was going really slow...coasting, etc. It was repaired under warranty. Something to do with slow torque...... Otherwise it has been one of my favorite cars. My first favorite was my 1989 Seville.

Love the STS. I would change the styling of the interior toward a more ergonomicly friendly center console. Also, the drink holder is less than adequate. I love the performance and the styling, this is my fifth Cadillac, three of which have been the STS model. I will look at the new STS-V when it comes out leter this year. Bring on the German and Japanese luxury cars, so they can go home with their tails between their legs. American engineeing is kicking butt with the STS-V and is ready to take on any challengers in the luxury sedan venue. I have owned Mercedes, Lincoln, Lexus, and BMW and the only one that comes close is the Lexus.

I purchased this vehicle as a "Sunday" car. Not a work vehicle or drive the kids to school vehicle. My first drive on the highyway worried me, because it had a slight vibration. I returned it for repairs, 4 tires corrected the problem(end of the year purchase. Sitting for a year without driving, flatten the tires somewhat) It gets great gas mileage, 3 mpg better than my Mitsubishi Sigma V6. This is also driving without trying to get gas mileage, in the 70 to 80 mph range, and when you want to pass, step on the gas and pass. Everything works. The car is dead quiet on the road, no rattles or creeks. Very enjoyable.
