1985 Cadillac Fleetwood review from North America
"Reliable luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leather upholstery had to be replaced due to age (15 years when I got it)
I just noticed drop or two of oil every few days on the driveway, but only after being driven 50+ miles that day.
General comments?
Despite the bad reputation this engine has, the car performs well. It is no racecar, but it is enough power to get a heavy car moving quickly.
Gas mileage is not bad as long as you don't drive it like a sports-car. If you do, it rapidly drinks gas.
