1993 Cadillac Allante Convertible review from North America
"A soon to be classic with more power than you will ever need"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have only had the car for a few months. No problems to speak of. The Northstar engine has a history of oil leaks. Mine has a very slight leak. Overall, too early to tell.
General comments?
The "93" is the model to have if you can find one that is in your price range. The Northstar engine is strong, and smooth. It's like driving a Cadillac Corvette. I am content to just cruise in it knowing that it can keep up with about anything out there.
300 horsepower conected to a front wheel drive car is not for the faint of heart. First time I kicked it, it scared me a little. I haven't felt this kind of power since my muscle car days as a teen. Earlier models are not as powerful, but will still run with what's out there.
The bodystyle did not change over the production years, but the engine did get better over time.
