1994 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Very confident feeling car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter failed 3 weeks after purchase, $300.00cdn and my labour (it's in the "V" under the intake manifold) (all day job).
Water pump failed shortly thereafter, (bearing seized, drive belt melted plastic pulleys) I broke the camshaft while removing the old pulley, dealer supplied set of heads from a '98 for $100!
Tail lights on trunk failed due to flexing wire harness on trunk hinge (re-sliced with more flexible wire).
Starting to get "Check ride control" message when car under body gets very wet (suspect connectors).
General comments?
Very fast car, handles well for its weight.
Very limited personal storage space in drivers/passengers compartment.
Tough on gas (heavy car, V8, Duh?) small tank (60 litres).
