General comments?
I bought this car for my wife for Christmas in 1992. It was a little over a year old and had only 9K miles. We had a 1988 Chrysler Fifth Ave. and it was a piece of garbage. I had planned on buying her a diamond for Christmas, but I figured the 5 grand that I had saved for the ring was better spent on her other dream. We have driven this car across the country twice and it rides great, we have gotten 30-32 mpg. on highway trips and 18-20 around town. The car rides like a dream and the 16" tires don't take away from that. Ours is the Touring Sedan and it handles better than the standard Cadillac Deville and the higher trim lines. The only think I don't like is that the steering can be a little too light in city driving. Overall though, this is by far the best Cadillac I have ever driven. This thing even does well in the snow, just about as well as our 1991 explorer eddie bauer. The interior is well equipped and the wood trim is a nice touch. Ours has blue leather and it hasn't cracked or ripped at all. The seats are like big, over stuffed chairs. The Bose cassette deck sounds great, but the recent pioneer cd player takes that up one step farther. The a-c works well and cools the interior quickly and the auto temp control works well. Overall, we are pleased with this car and we are now thinking of selling this good old machine to our neighbor and buying a 2003 Seville, but nothing will replace this car. The problems we have had are nothing out of line for any car, and we don't take it to the dealer, so it never has cost more to fix than any other car. This car rates 4 out of 5 in my book.
