Overview & Reviews

The Seville sees only minor changes after its successful redesign in 1998. Cadillac's new massaging lumbar seats are offered as an option on the STS. Heated seats become part of the adaptive seat package, which is now available on both SLS and STS trim levels. And the optional OnStar mobile communications system will automatically notify the OnStar customer assistance center in the case of any airbag deployment, front or side, so that the center can dispatch emergency services to the scene. Previously, notification occurred only with a front airbag deployment. There are also three new exterior colors, Cashmere, Parisian Blue and Sterling Silver, and one new interior shade called Oatmeal.

• World-class engineering, contemporary styling, smooth V8, high level of standard equipment, plenty of electronic doodads to wow friends and neighbors.

• Interior materials still not up to par with some luxury imports, history of not retaining value as well as its rivals, plenty of electronic doodads to ring up big future repair bills.

  Watch out for that "service stability track/ abs" warning - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By life02 - August 11 - 6:01 pm

  Just purchased my 99 STS 2 months ago after my 94 Eldo was backed into by a raised pickup I had the Northstar oil leak controlled in the Eldo - it only had 88K miles on it - just loved the style/ ride the STS has 1 previous owner actually a "little old lady from Pasadena" carfax showed 30+ entries for ALL services at dealer in Pasadena area she even bought the tires there! No evidence of any major probs in the records but then again, surprises do happen!

  Seville - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By James - April 29 - 1:48 pm

  I love the gas mileage for a big car. Weird right. I bought it at 93,000 miles i put 30,000 on that. I love the design the luxury the creature comforts (which todays cars are just putting in) & of course the power of the north star V8 engine oh my. The things i hate the most are repairs, parts & reliability. The car runs smooth feel great but cost to much money to repair. I had my water pump replaced for $400 worn O ring almost ruined the entire engine. Left rear shock for $1,000 it burst. Still got to get the internal oil/coolant leak fix that will be an arm & leg. Brakes for $500. Molding on door for $120. Its like a girl who wants a sugar daddy to be pampered.

  A Wow Car for 1999 - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By Marshall - February 24 - 7:10 pm

  I purchased this automobile from a dealership in July 2007 with only 19700 miles on it. My first used car, been driving Buicks for years. This car turns heads, mint condition with black on black. Rides better and has options that the 2008 Buick Lucerne still does not have. A wonderful ride and great power. Gas mileage is poor, but I already knew that. Have put 4000 troble free miles on it. Trying to keep it mint. Was able to pick up a two year $100 deductable policy due to low mileage. Never will buy a Buick again. Love this machine.

  PrincessSLS - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By PrincessSLS - July 17 - 9:57 am

  Bought used and have owned this auto for 6 years now. 2 set of tires, 1 set of brakes, oil sending unit, front engine mount, center console lid, minor coolant leak and of course the extra quart of oil between oil changes. She has been a great car. Exceptional power to gas mileage ratio. Very quiet on the highway. Leather is the best quality that I have seen. Styling is still head turning. I have recently noticed that in turns the steering is sluggish and between 65 and 75 mph the car trembles. I have not had this trouble investigated. Occasionaly the computer system acts up with a variety of curious issues. Overall dependable, enjoyable, powerful well worth the price I paid.

  Just Bought It! - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By Tiffany - July 19 - 3:29 pm

  I have only owned this vehicle for about a month now, but I can already say that I enjoy it very much. It has a smooth ride and is very comfortable. What I like the most about this particular Cadillac is its simplicity to operate the fancy features.

  Cadillac not so great - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By Hubert L Cox - May 12 - 2:00 am

  Bought the vehicle with 25K on it. Had to have speakers, fog light assembly, fuel pump and driver side interior door pannel replaced all within 6 months. It was still under warranty so there was no cost. At 51K miles, the engine went out and had to be replaced at a cost of $8,000.00. They ran tests and could not determine why the engine blew. At any rate, Cadillac and the dealer refused to help with the replacement cost or any portion of it since it was over the 50K mile limit.

  American Flagship? - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By johnpetes - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Great engine, transmission, and heating and A/C, then GM has always done that well. Poor fit and finish, part of dash separating, back of drivers seat has always been loose, under seat tray never has worked. Too many major things gone wrong in 50 K miles. Power seat replaced, front struts replaced, electrical problems, poor braking. Handled under warranty but VERY expensive. Scared to death that Ill have to eat one of these whopper bills before the lease is up. If Id gotten a 99 Lexus LS400 (the price was the same)its tradein value would be many thousands higher than the STS. Would not buy again!

  By Carol - February 21 - 2:00 am

  I have a 99 STS. I love this car but have had some trouble with it. Noise on left side in engine area when turning left (was fixed). Tray under drivers seat came loose several times. Heater in drivers side had to be replaced. The car dies when corning or slowing down. It has had Super Tune up and crank sensor replaced. Cadillac has been called they know of the problem but dont know how to fix it.

  american made/built quality??????? - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By dmscuba - February 1 - 2:00 am

  Traded my 96 STS for the 99 with 27000 mi. Lost room in the back seat and trunk. Lost 6 mpgal in fuel economy. Keys dont work on seat memory, exterior trim falls off, console cover fell off, power port cover fell off, seat belt unit came off, rear seat pass through not working. Ride is not quality. Dealership blames the tires, says they will replace them but it wont help, need to get a different brand. Shimmies at 62mph. This is probably my last Cadillac imports offer better quality.
