1990 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan review from North America
"Very well worth the money spent to keep it running"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rebuilt alternator, starter went out, replaced power Steering hoses, but other than that, all problems are in the interior.
Power window in front passenger door switch doesn't work, but window still rolls down at drivers side.
Passenger side power seat back doesn't work.
CD player is having problems.
Passenger side door locks don't go all the way down.
Leather is cracking in the driver's seat and door.
General comments?
Even with all of the problems listed above, I would never get another Stratus again. The car was just plain too small. The straight 4 cylinder doesn't hold a candle to the V-8 under the Caddy's hood.
This car has plenty of get up and go. Went from 65 MPH to 95 MPH in about 4-5 seconds. Recently had a tune-up and now get 25-27 MPG on highway and about 13-15 MPG in city.
Powerful engine, nice center console, warm, soothing interior, and a Bose sound system provide a very smooth and relaxing drive, whether you are driving across town or across country.
If your mileage for your Fleetwood is down in the high teens, have your mechanic see if your oxygen sensor is going out and replace the fuel and air filters. That did the trick for me.
