"Nice car, but suffers from, but poor GM engineering"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Right rear control arm bushing was shot causing the car to sway side to side when hitting bumbs.

Fuel pump went, cost $600 to replace.

Filler neck for gas tank rotted and was leaking when filling with gas.

Service engine light is always turing on.

General comments?

Love the looks and style of the car, the Northstar V-8 is both powerfull and efficent, but guzzels oil. In addition to requiring 7.5 quarts at an oil change it uses a quart of oil every 1,000-1,500 miles.

The caddy is to large to be front-wheel-drive too much weight up front and nothing in the back. It is terrible in the Buffalo NY winters. When applying the brakes on snow covered roads it has the tendency to turn sideways, and the traction control is pretty much useless on a FWD.

I like the caddy, but I do think that my previous 1994 Lincoln Town car was a much better built, more reliable car, and the rear-wheel-drive w/traction control handled much better in snow.
