  not a good buy! - 1998 Cadillac Catera
  By blokespeed - July 25 - 2:00 am

  The worst vehicle I have ever purchased,went back to the dealership too many times.Heated seat on drivers side burnt through leather and through my jacket!Both were replaced by GM but dealership did not seem to care too much.Steering rod ends last 45K miles this is why tires do not last also alot of tire shops cant do alignment because of no lip on wheel.Check engine light came on every 2 weeks.Trans module failed $650.00 fix.Hated this car with a passion just traded it in for a toyota,value of cadillac depreciated $15000 in 3 years!No more GM for us.

  98 Catera full of problems - 1998 Cadillac Catera
  By noxoc - January 21 - 2:00 am

  Very disappointed in this vehicle. Expected better quality. Feel like I bought a Yugo instead of a Cadillac. Problems include door hinge straps coming unwelded from door frames, cigarette lighter falling out of console, cup holders broke first time used, stereo speaker covers fall off, coolant leak somewhere near intake manifold, battery goes dead when vehicle sits unused for more than 2 days, wheel jack & tools made from cheap materials - bent into unusable shape used. Poor customer service from Cadillac.

  Ill be glad when its gone - 1998 Cadillac Catera
  By Kcsmom98 - December 24 - 2:00 am

  I found a really cute Catera for 15,000 with 24000 miles and thought I was getting a good deal. I was very wrong. Since the date of purchase, about 18 months ago, its been in the shop numerous times. Once for recalls, then back again because the belts that were replaced were squeaking, the exhaust rattles, the steering wheel squeaks when you turn, it leaves a "mystery puddle" on the garage floor everyday, revs too high when casual driving. Overall I would NOT recommend this car to anyone. It is cute to look at but that is it not worth the headache.
