1990 Cadillac Seville Base review from North America

No air conditioning and no radio (bought car like this). A/C fixed by dealer for free, purchased and installed an after-market radio.

Weather stripping is shrinking and coming off the car, dealer attempted to fix it, but was not succesfull.

This is my first car, I got it in April of 2002 for $4000.

The exterior is nice, but the paint is very poor, a new scratch or chip every day it seems.

Weather stripping is coming off causing the driver's door to leak. Have seen this on other 86-91 Seville's.

The front of the car is low to the ground, I know all about it when I go up a steep incline.

The engine is very powerful, I have done several burn outs, however it does leak a little oil. I also get very poor gas mileage due to it being a V8 (14 city 18 highway). I have topped the car out at 115 MPH, it has a governor that limits the top speed to 115, I'm sure it could easily hit 160 or more without it. Car weighs well over 3,000 lbs, going 100MPH feels more like 75MPH or so.

The ride quality is phenomenal, the car glides over all the little bumps on the road, even the larger holes don't feel too bad compared to other cars I have ridden in.

Handling is also very good, the wheel turns very easily compared to most cars and the suspension can handle pretty sharp turns with little body lean.

The interior is very luxurious with power everything and leather all over (seats, console, steering wheel, dash). There is also some very nice looking wood trim on the dash and the center console.

All digital dash and Driver Information Center, displays such information as time, date, year, temperature, gas mileage, engine RPM, mileage until tank has to be refilled, oil life index, coolant temperature, battery voltage, and amount of gas used.

Climate control is also all digital and is very nice.

All together a great first car for a teenager if they can pay for the gas. Also a great family car. Upkeep can also be expensive as these cars need to be serviced often to be running their best. This car has never stalled on me once so far, in hot (100F) or cold (20F) weather. Will definitely buy a Cadillac again in the future.
