  A great ride - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By PEARL - September 17 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car through a dealership. It had been a lease car. My brother got it for me wholesale. The heater wasnt functioning (December - brrr). I learned only a year ago that it had been in a bad accident and the axle is bent. Also, I knew that there was an oil leak, so I add a quart every other tank of gas. Overall, of the five Ive owned (one Allante), its been the best one yet. Ive gotten 28 mpg on the freeway. Its diamond white, so it still cleans up perfectly. It shines like a diamond when Im looking for it in a parking lot. All those other bubble cars that all look alike cant hold a candle to it. It had 58,000 when I bought it I have 155,000 now.

  mostly enjoyable - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By mostlyenjoyable - August 15 - 10:13 am

  For a big ride, this car gets amazing gas mileage (higher than its rated), and its comfort and performance have made it a keeper. Weve experienced electrical and sensor issues but luckily found an affordable mechanic as couldnt afford dealership. Has over 123K miles now and starting to use more oil (northstart engines typically use some) so looking to replace. Was also great in minor crash other vehicle was totaled didnt even break our cars headlight.

  Dont sleep on this one ! - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By PMP - July 18 - 2:24 pm

  Bought used with 120k from a guy who didnt really keep up on the maintenance but I got her back to 100% in no time. Replaced the crank sensors (very common) I suggest you replace them before they go @ around 100k miles. Also replaced the cat (common as well) $300 so again not a big deal on a $53k car. The car uses about 2qts of oil every 3k miles which is common on northstars. Again not a big deal, just keep up on your oil changes. Ive owned alot of high end cars (audi,mercedes,jaguar,bmw) and must say this caddy is right up there with them ! I get compliments everywhere I go and its 8 yrs old ! Navigation is also easier to use than most factory units. Stop thinking go buy one !

  Fast Luxury Sedan - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Mike - November 21 - 12:08 pm

  We bought the car used with 25K miles. This car is a joy to drive, my wife rarely lets me drive it because I drive it like a sports sedan. The 300hp DOHC 32 valve engine is quiet, but revs quickly & effortlessly to 6500 rpm when needed. Need to pass someone....point it straight, hit the accelerator & you are approaching warp speed vey rapidly (EX: passing 50mph- 85mph in under 6 seconds) in addition to a luxury ride, outstanding heated seats with memory & awesome Bose 6+1 cd changer. For mid 50 year old it is a true luxury hotrod. In town we get 20+ mpg & 25-28 mpg on hiway (as long I dont start driving like speed racer). Great car, somewhat expensive to repair/maintain.

  Good car - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Judith - September 7 - 8:32 pm

  This car has a classic look and a great ride. Plenty of room for passengers, and comfortable seats too. My STS is great on slippery roads and in snow. There is virtually no air noise. I now have over 95,000 miles on my car, and I am having a hard time thinking about getting rid of it. Its getting older and the value is going down, but I still love it.

  Awsome Automobile - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Rob - January 7 - 4:17 pm

  I purchased this car because of its size. I never realized I would come to love it so much. Its a thrill to drive and more comfortable than you would believe. As with any high end vehicle, repairs and parts are costly, though this vehicle has proven to be so reliable that the need for such is few and far between.

  Great Cadillac! - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Richard F - December 15 - 10:01 pm

  This car has great handling, acceleration, and appearance. I have had to have the battery, a couple of sensors, and the water pump replaced under warranty.

  Superb - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By Mo - October 9 - 9:29 pm

  This cars exteriors exterior combines the best of European and Japanese design, with the interior luxury and comfort of an American car. It definitely is worth a look if you are interested in a car to enjoy. I look for reasons to drive it.

  Its a Cadillac - 2001 Cadillac Seville
  By On my 3rd Northstar. - August 12 - 5:27 am

  Like the age old ad says its the "penalty of leadership." All of these Sevilles are based on the 1998 design. Compared to all other makes no one was this progressive. Sure the car is a bit heavy, expensive to own, and expensive to repair, but all in all its a superlative motor car. Overall Ive had minimal problems with this car for the amount of technology involved. The seat heaters were replaced under warranty, it had a vibration at 65 mph fixed under warranty, and the valve position sensor had to be replaced. Otherwise this is a start it up and go car. Not to mention it can pass anything else on the road quite effortlessly. Bottom line, if you want to drive GMs top of the line expect some minor problems. Overall it is luxury at its best!
