1999 Cadillac Seville SLS review from North America
"I don't know what everyone else is talking about, this car is FANTASTIC!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased the car at my local Cadillac dealer, the trunk needed to be re-sealed, and the console arm rest had to be replaced, as the previous owner damaged the hinge.
Front rotors needed to be replaced at 85 thousand miles.
The car never once failed me in 61 thousand miles, and didn't deteriorate in any sense of the word.
The car could sit for weeks on end and start up as if it were used five minutes earlier.
General comments?
After an errant truck kicked up a stone and cracked my windshield, I took it to the dealer to be repaired. Their price cost 1/4 of everyone else's quote, and the car was ready in a matter of hours. They even detailed it for me! It actually makes me wish things regularly went wrong with the car.
All seats are comfortable, yet the back is a tad cramped, as this is the more eurocentric, sporting model.
The ride is smooth, yet it handles takes off, and stops like an F-16 jet.
These headlamps are some of the best I have experienced in a car.
Although it doesn't scream Cadillac, the styling is attractive, nonetheless.
