General comments?

We bought our car at 39609 mile within the first 1000 we had to have the new water pump, battery and engine replaced, along with suspension fixed. (We call it the "crap-a-lak").

The car fishtails when we hit bumps in the road no matter what speed.

And the electrical well--- it's electrical. Numerous tail lights, smoking steering wheel (air bag was bad).

Sometimes the seat will move forward to adjust to my height after working with it for awhile.

I do have to agree that the dealers are right when they told us that the Cadillac Seville STS (stabilitrak system) "is a rougher ride" (I am just curious if they meant the car or your mental stability) also, it truly is a "LOVELY CAR" as they say.

I really wish it was what they make the car out to be. IT IS COOL LOOKING!
