1997 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"I'm worried about the long term effects of high oil consumption on the engine and exhaust systems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car burns a quart of oil every thousand miles! The dealerships and Cadillac Customer Service claim that this is all within normal usage. I don't believe that G.M. built this engine with this rather loose spec as a standard. Is anyone else out there having this experience? Has Cadillac responded the same way?
General comments?
I like the style and performance of the car in general. Having had two Mercedes Benz prior to this, I think that Cadillac has come very close and kept the cost quite reasonable by comparison.. I do find that I have very little space to put any little personal things like papers, glasses, snacks, etc., while operating the car.
