2000 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Never touch one; it's a deal with the devil"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front struts, starter motor, air pump (s), power steering line, passenger window, trunk leak, sunroof leak, Bose system, intake plenum tear and other rough idle issues, wheel well rust, TCC solenoid.
General comments?
Fast car, comfortable on long road trips, plenty of get up in the rear wheels off the line, but, extremely poor build quality. I cannot believe that this car cost nearly $48K when it came out, what a joke. When I pulled off the dashboard to unplug the burned out Bose center speaker, there was cotton ATHLETIC TAPE, from the FACTORY, wrapped around a screw mount to hold it in place on the passenger side.
Constant pricey repair bills. Total disappointment besides how "pimp" the car looks and feels rolling along. All owners of these cars will eventually become victims.
