    By -

    I bought this Caddy in March of 2005, it is my sixth Caddy. Two have been bummers but not this one. I have had no trouble with this car. I love to drive it and it handles very well. It has the Northstar engine and i get excellant milage. On a trip around 26 around town about 20. I also own a 1991 Seville that i love to drive. I have nothing but good things to say about this car.

    I have driven my STS for the past 7 years. Thank goodness its fast since I do a lot of driving to the Delaware shore. Unfortunately, this car got caught in the recent flooding and it is now totaled. Great performance car, and am sorry to see it go.

  • Front End - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    In recent months the front end of my car has a shimmey. I changed the two front axles and bearing, no better. Bought 4 new tires, no change. The car at 62 MPH has a shimmey its driving me crazy. . I loved the car though!

  • cadillacs are amazing ! - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    The 02 sls is just as Nice as my 96 etc. Not every car is perfect. Some do have issues. For the most part caddys are amazing cars with a huge history (except for v8-6/4 and ht4100) both huge piles of crap! The s series cars are well built and usually very very reliable cars. Fun to drive and easy to take care of. Vegas and nearly back on a tank with all the performance of a sports car! How do you beat that? (230 miles one way) that was nearly 28 mpg in full size luxury sedan. I have owned 75 caddys in my life and would recommend them to anyone who wanted an upscale reliable car. Amazing ! Thank you Cadillac!

  • Cadillac for luxury and performance - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    This SLS is my 3rd Cadillac, and by far the best car Ive owned. Ride comfort on long trips is unsurpassed, as is fuel economy for a car this size. The Northstar engine is really amazing in that it has incredible power, yet gets 30 mpg on the highway. Around town it is nimble while soaking up rough pavement in stride. Cadillac has a proven winner with this generation Seville with reliability of a Swiss watch. Or should I call it the Rolex of cars.

  • Great Cadillac stop holds up to the best - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I bought this car 8 months ago not knowing much about the Cadillac family very much. I was obviously worried about that curse used Cadillacs seem to carry with them with a high rate of unreliability but iwas wrong. I kept good tabs on this baby and she has never failed me with a breakdown or faulty light not once. The only problem I had was the water pump froze and ended up getting a small crack but I still believe that was due to the consecutive 5 degree days (and sub zero) nights up in the northshore. I love the cockpit and have had no complaints of leg room. Very powerful when it needs and refined.

  • This is a True Beast - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I just got this puppy in May of this year...so far so good. Its funny how I ended up in this car being that I was looking at a 91 Corvette and a 2003 Mustang GT. Not to mention I was getting out of a 1999 Trans Am...needless to say Im into fast, agressive cars, but my main goal this time around was to get the most bang for my buck and the Cadillac SLS beat them out. Its really fast and solid as a rock. I love the way the back end of the car looks, but the front end is the only thing Id change. It is just a little farty. I tend to forget that when I get behind the wheel and hit high speeds in no time while feeling like Im sitting on the couch in my living room. I recommend this car for anyone who grew up as a gear head. Im 25 years old.

  • These are nice cars! - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    This car is simply awesome. We have had the car for 6 months now and no issues. Drives and Looks great! Love the power, and comfort. Mileage for this much power and size of car is amazing. Front wheel drive and Stabilitrak makes driving in snow a joy. Interiors and engines in these cars seem to last forever! At speed and I’ve had mine will over 100 MPH on several occasion these cars a stable and smooth. Would recommend one to anyone.

  • This is my second Cadillac - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I traded in a 1997 SLS that I loved because it started to burn a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. I love the 2002 STS in every way except a couple. I have had extreme problems balancing the tires, and still have a slight vibration at certain speeds. I also wish, (minor issue) that the sun roof was a one touch close as well as the one touch open, and lastly, the satellite radio antenna on the roof should be painted, not a flat finish plastic. It detracts from the car. Other makes paint their antenna cover to match the car finish.

  • 2002 Cadillac Seville STS - 2002 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    This is my third new Cadillac. I bought it to replace my 1994 Cadillac DeVille base model. What else can I say but that the Seville STS is easily the most attractive luxury sedan on the marker - foreign or domestic. The performance of the 4.6 litre Northstar V-8 is legendary. The Delco-Bose stereo system alone is worth the price of admission as it sounds even better than my home system. The car feature som many nice amenities theres not enough bandwidth to list them. I had considered a Lexus LS430, but the Seville offers better styling, performance, and value.
