2002 Cadillac Seville STS review from North America
"Could be the best car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just got the car and nothing's gone wrong (yet).
General comments?
This has to be one of the finest automobiles ever made by anyone, ever.
It is supremely comfortable, handles beautifully and has incredible power.
Fortunately for me, this car depreciated very fast... I was able to get a car whose sticker MSRP in 2002 was $55,000... for only $21,000 from a Cadillac dealer in Sep. 2005. My car looks (and smells) brand new with only 43000 miles. It's also GM Certified which extends the b-to-b warranty to 100,000 miles... pretty nice deal... not worried about things that might break now.
I've owned Acura, Audi and Lexus in the past, but this car is converting me back to a GM guy. No kidding... it is that nice.
I'm age 50 now, so my car needs to be a bit on the comfy side for longer trips. I feel confident that I could drive the car for 8 hours and get out feeling totally refreshed.
I was a bit concerned about all I read re: vibration, but my car rides perfect at all speeds.
Have fun if you get one. Now I'll be looking forward to the year 2009 when I start looking for my used 2005 STS... probabaly pick it up for about $25K.
