2000 Cadillac Seville sts review from North America
"Beautiful monster that can be tamed, but why not let it run wild"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When very cold, there is a whining sound in front of steering wheel, disappears after 2 minutes.
Check Engine is on and off
Some vibration, now gone.
General comments?
If you are on a quest to find absolutely beautiful car, full of surprises (good and bad ones), your search has finished. This car is exactly like my wife - I love her dearly, the more I live with her the more I understand what a right choice I made. Sometimes I look at her and understand that she graced me with her presence. But sometimes she behaves so bitchy that you want to push it off the cliff.
In previous paragraph every word can be equally attributed to the both of them. That's what makes a great car, driver's mixture of feelings. How can you relate to plain vanilla, bumpy-riding, vomit inducing Toyota Camry that has no soul, just a reliable engine and 4 no-name wheels.
Getting to the point. the car is lavishly designed and as you get used to it, none of the options seems luxurious anymore - it is a necessity.
Some Seville owners complain on vibration, I managed to get rid of it with relatively small blood - set of V-rated Yokohama Avid tires and Hunter machine high speed balancing/wheel alignment. All this talk about Michelins makes me think these people get some kickbacks from Michelin Man himself. It's a tad overhyped. I think that high quality Bridgestones or in my case Yokohamas should do the job. The matter is balancing and making shure that rotors aren't warped (especially if you r using a drilled ones)
