1989 Cadillac Eldorado review from North America
"I will never drive anything less than a Cadillac again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition switch had to be replaced at 98,000 miles.
Power steering hoses replaced.
Radiator repaired.
Starter replaced at 103,000 miles.
General comments?
I have never driven a car that is more comfortable than the 86 - 91 Eldorado. At 20 years old, my 89 Eldorado is still an extremely smooth ride. The car handles extremely well, the 4.5 liter V8 power plant still takes off like a dream. The cabin is roomy, the seats are extremely comfortable and the amount of electronics in the car is unheard of for such an old model.
The only drawback to this car would be the maintenance/repair costs. Also, older GM models like the Eldorado are very difficult to repair and maintain without a professional mechanic.
