1996 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham review from North America
"Why would they stop making such a great car?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator needed replaced (Cracked plastic holding tanks).
Tie-Rod Ends failed.
Pinion seal in rear differential.
Starter replaced at 130,000.
Traction Control Light on steadily.
General comments?
This car is the best. I cannot honestly complain about anything yet. The seats are comfortable and the car is ideal for long trips, however most of my driving is around town. The LT1 motor has ample power. This car always turns heads and I get compliments about it all of the time. It took forever for me to find one in the color combination I wanted-triple black. GM was really foolish to stop making these. They are the last true Cadillacs.
