  • 12 Years Old and Still a Beauty - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I purchased my 2001 STS in 2004 as it came off of a 3-year lease. It had about 32K miles and now it only has about 72K. It was at a Caddy dealer. A new Caddy has a 3-year 50K warranty. A Certified used one has 5 or 6 year/100K mile one. Also, they cover not only power train, but practically everything, including free loaner car. Couple of months after purchase it developed an oil leak. No "oil pan" on transverse, i.e. had to remove engine, take apart in middle and put in a new gasket. Glad it was under warranty.

    Have a 2001 Cadillac Seville STS that has 96,000 miles. It has been a great car, burns 1 quart of oil between changes but has been doing this for the last 40,000 miles. I have driven it accros the country and never had major issues with this car. A nice riding car that holds its value.

  • Never again! - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    Refused to start once in my yard, luckily. Had to have it towed to Caddy dealer. $800 to replace "security modules"! Year later died at Doctors office. Had it towed to dealer again. $300 for new "special Caddy" battery cause terminal broke. Battery is under back seat that no one uses. How could this happen? Got no answer. Year later had to jump start car, then dash lights went out. Traded it in back to dealer I bought it from!

    Good quality and much better mileage than advertised. Only issues I have is Im 60" and theres a blind spot where the rear view mirror is that blocks forward vision for me but mnot my wife. I wish I could find a way to lower the seat. Dealer service has been excellent.

  • A good deal. - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I enjoy driving this car. Never owned a Caddy before. I have owned a 2000 Lexus GS300 and this a close runner up so far. The car had been garaged indoors for over 3 years. I bought it used with 23,000 miles on it. So far this well maintained car is a pleasure to own. City mpg is only 11.5. I have not had it on the highway yet.

  • Darth Vaders Cadillac - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    Bought used black on black STS with 78K miles for my wife. Now it has 118K miles. Generally reliable. Have replaced battery, crank position sensors, engine air tube, engine cooling fan and a few other things. Others are right, car is expensive to have worked on, I only let Cadillac dealer do it. Rides nice, is quiet. Handles good. Bose 4.0 stereo very good. Car still looks good, many favorible comments. Good A/C. Roomy. Trunk is adequate. 300 HP Northstar will fly, but uses oil about 1 qt. every 700 miles or so. About 19 mpg city, 24 highway, regular fuel. Very good traction on wet roads or snow. Stabilitrak helps a lot. Has better build quality than my 97 Eldorado or 97 Catera.

    As a long time import owner, domestics were never high on my list. Ive owned several Nissan / Infiniti vehicles. Needed a larger vehicle for the family and to travel in. STS works perfectly everyone has room and the Caddy more than gets up. Pretty much every creature comfort available and rides quiet. By the way, Im way under 40 so the looks from the older Caddy owners are just great.

  • A Great Buy - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    I bought a 2001 Seville STS with 38,000 miles. At the price they can be bought for today they are a steal. This car is in mint condition with lots of comfort and convenience features. Performance takes second place to luxury, but not by a lot. Once rolling its a quick car and body lean is kept to a minimum. Its too big to be a sports car but if you want a sporty luxury car, this is a good one.

    Overall, my 2001 Cadillac STS has worked very well. No major complaints or problems. It has a lot of extra options and has a smooth ride

  • GREAT CAR - 2001 Cadillac Seville
    By -

    IF YOU BUY A SEVILLE USED YOU ARE GETTING A LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY. IN PALM SRINGS CALIFORNIA, IT IS THE MOST POPULAR SEDAN ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. HOWEVER THE CADILLAC SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE GREAT AND A THEY BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. THEY GIVE GOOD LOANER CARS. I WILL PROBABLY BUY THE NEW SEVILLE IN A YEAR OR SO.
