  2000 Seville STS, Great car but expensive to keep. - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By fcareaga - May 27 - 10:15 pm

  I bought this car used with 140k miles, Ive put about 12k miles in the the last couple of years. I LOVE this car, but its really expensive to keep up and Im getting ready to sell it and get a Lexus LS400. The car is sexy, fast and comfortable, but everything goes wrong on it. It leaks coolant, probably has a bad head gasket, it starting idling rough, has the known vibration issue above 60 mph...and other minor issues. You would think that a car that was MSRP $54k would be built a bit better.

  Comfort and fun - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By M. A. H. - May 2 - 8:37 am

  What a fun and comfortable car. The expense to repair items is a little disheartening. The car avgs 12.5 mpg with city driving but on the hwy that goes up to 20.5 mpg. The ability to seat 3 kids in the back seat is a plus but for adults the leg room is a little tight.

  Love the car but Maintainance excessive - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By BGB - April 23 - 9:21 am

  Bought car used in July 2006. 73K kilometers, now 165K. LOVE the drive, the incredible Bose sound system, the handling and the acceleration. I have a bad back and the leather seats are sooo comfortable and great support. Sight lines are fabulous. Runs quite and no outside noise. Little things too. Pop the trunk and it opens right up, dont have to lift it. Open the hood and you dont have to put up a bar to keep it open. Everything is colour coded. Uses REGULAR gas. Great gas mileage on the hwy. Strong car too. Was rear ended and barely felt it. The seat seemed to wrap around me. Bumper had a big dent but the front end of the other car was a mess. Downside is the maintainance.

  Great car - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By Mike M - June 28 - 1:34 pm

  I bought this car used with 45000 miles on it. Purchased a 100,000 mile extended warranty. This was a great car to own until the mileage hit 100,000. Then it started to cost me a lot of money. The car had constant oil leak problems which apparently are common with the Northstar engine. Some of the interior components are low in quality for what you expect from a Cadillac e.g. cup holders, garage opener knobs, seat adjustment controls. All broke. Other than the reliability issues, this was a great car to own. Powerful and smooth drive. Nav system, rear parking sensors, wiper sensors, leather seating are all great. Some parts are no longer available after 10 years.

  3 year review... of used sls - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By indianavince - April 20 - 2:15 pm

  Follow up to my review of buying a 66k used SLS in 2006. I am getting 32mpg on 300 mile highway trips. I now have 108,000 miles only issues since 66k is a blown speaker, new aftermarket front struts ($400) and a coil pack ($500). I am getting a little bored with the car but I still love the great highway MPGs and climate control that is so easy to use. This car eats up the miles. I am still happy.

  Money Pit - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By Mike M - April 18 - 8:42 pm

  Bought this car used with 20,000 miles on it. Loved the looks and it was my first experience with a Cadillac. After the first two weeks the car wouldnt start and to have two starting sensors replaced. Then the tilt steering went bad, with those two items being covered by warranty. It was downhill from there. Have spent over $8,000 on car repairs in 5 years, not counting the potential cost for replacing a blown head gasket because I just traded it today. It has been by far the worst car I have ever owned...and oh yes, the car would shift into neutral when I drove it through water puddles when it would rain. I have a friend who is a cadillac mechanic and he couldnt figure it out.

  Great Car, Even With The Broken Parts - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By Allen - May 8 - 5:47 pm

  There are a lot of problems with this car, but I attribute this to the high mileage. It has over 180,000 miles. Although the ABS is broken, Traction Control is broken, AC/Heat in drivers vents is broken, trunk leaks, rear cig lighter is gone, burns oil, the covers for the rear turn signals fell off (in the car wash), trunk popper is broken, I still LOVE this car. I love the sound system. I love the ability to overtake most anything on the road. It is very comfortable. I love how it can take unleaded fuel (thank God for that). When people say how "so much stuff is broken", I say it just has a personality.

  2000 Seville SLS - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By smithlaw87 - February 22 - 4:51 pm

  From the day that I purchased this car, I knew that I would like it. It drives well, and although I had early problems with it, lately it has performed very well and I have had only minor problems with it. I think the style is great, the sound system is excellent, and the comfort is off the charts. It rides very smoothly up to about 65 miles an hour, but I believe that there is a problem with the springs on all of the 2000 models where it becomes noticeably shaky until about 80 mph. The size isnt what I was hoping it to be. Its very roomy, dont get me wrong, but now that I think about it, it is a little bit big for my needs. The gas mileage isnt so great, but that isnt too important to me.

  Energizer Bunny - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By Energizer Bunny - December 30 - 6:16 pm

  This has been a great vehicle. We traded our 1998 STS for a 2000 STS with low miles because of the infamous oil leak on the 98. That problem was expensive to repair, $3,000 - $4,000. We bought this one used with a warranty because we just enjoy this car! It has been great for a 2000 model. It has no squeaks, no mechanical issues, and still runs like the day we first got er.

  Seville STS Rating - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By John Hickam - January 19 - 11:06 pm

  The 2000 Cadillac Seville STS has a lithe, supple ride and handles very well. It gets up to 25 mpg. At 80,000 miles, the only non-scheduled maintenance that I have performed was the installation of a new abs system and a fuel pressure regulator.
