1999 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"This is a great car for any avid car enthusiast who wants luxury and good handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My STS had tire problems similar to those mentioned by others. The Original Goodyear Eagle LS tires were nearly impossible to keep balanced and wore out after 32,000 miles. I replaced the original set of tires with another set of the same tires and experienced the same problem, replacing them with Michelin MXV4 tires at 64,000 miles. The Michelins have performed flawlessly. They provide a smoother, quieter ride and show no problems maintaining balance.
Concerning the burning of oil, my experience has been that I need to add one quart every 4-5 thousand miles. Previously, I owned a Corvette and had the same problem. I believe that kind of problem is enherent in such a high powered engine. I drive the car hard and fast, enjoying the benefits of this fine machine.
This is no $70K automobile. I paid less than $50K, new and loaded.
General comments?
This is a well-tuned machine that performs as expected.
