1994 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Most poorly engineered over advertized vehicle I have owned to date"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leak at 104500km.
Five attempted repairs at dealer unsuccessful.
Head bolts pulled out at 105000km
Engine removed and top end rebuild ($3500) performed
Main bearing failure at 105200km
Five engines installed between 1999 and 2003 ($5000)
After repair car taken to dealer who recommended an additional $4600 of repairs.
Traded in and lost a total of $24,000.00 on this car for 5000 km of very troubled driving and court battles
Power windows failed regularly.
I bailed more water out of my STS than I bailed out of my boat.
Was insulted by Cadillac engineering without appology.

Best use of premium gas in a four door when it ran.
Dreadful support from Cadillac and no willingness to fix known flaws that other manufactures have repaired.
