1996 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Good, but not great"
General comments?
I picked up this Seville because it happened to be on the lot the day my Eldorado crapped out. So far, it's a fine car, safe, comfortable, and elegant. But I've owned a 97 STS and every minute I drive this SLS I'm aware of the difference - less power, different gear ratios, less precise steering, no stability control. The STS handled like a sportscar, the "envelope" on the SLS is a lot more limited, I keep feeling I have to hold back. If you want a Cad and have a choice between a "Luxury" and "Touring" model, by all means spend the extra money for the "Touring," they're much better cars.
