  • You should know... - 1990 Cadillac Allante
    By -

    Besides being an obsolete car and no longer supported by GM for many parts, my Allante was not very good. Until the Northstar engine, in the last model year, the performance was very weak for a V8. It has consistent and continuing problems with its electrical and braking systems (anti-lock accumulator). When I did need a part (like a key which was previously mentioned by another owner) it was hard to get as well. As many have said, I loved the look of this car and thought it would be a collectible - but it is not. It is basically an orphaned model which GM would rather forget they ever made. So I am now trying to unload it but with little success. Just some words to the wise, folks.

  • Great Cruiser - 1990 Cadillac Allante

    A wonderful Sunday cruiser. You really appreciate this vehicle on the highway, comfortable for over 6 footers and good mileage too! Its a steal for a rare, unique convertible.

    The Allante is a unique car and a lot of fun to drive. The Italian body is timeless and looks just as good today as it did 15 years ago. The car needs to pampered, yet I drive my almost every day. Not unusual to get over 21 mpg in combination of highway and city driving.

  • My Dream Car - 1990 Cadillac Allante
    By -

    I remember seeing an Allante several years ago, "What was that?" it made my head turn. 7 years later I could afford to buy my dream car at a Kia dealer with brand new cars selling for $8K. Who would buy a 10 year old car for $16K? Ha! No one knew a diamond in the rough! All the bells and whistles in a convertible disquised under the hard top! With a 3 year warranty its been worth every penny on a sunny Seattle day (yes, rain too!) Ive now extended the warranty for another two more years! How many cars out there can have such luxury/affordability as a teenager of 13? Im contemplating selling it, but every time I look around nothing can compare!

  • Satisfying Fun Vehicle - 1990 Cadillac Allante
    By -

    This was once a bad ass car. Initially selling for $55,000 and up. The engine is a thing of beauty a durable strong 4.5L V8 with lots of power. The weakpoints on this vehicle would be the convertible top (was not manufactured durably enough as it leaks). The electronic system also has occasional flaws. And, because it comes standard with a Bose sound system, if you want to change anything, you must remove the entire system. All in all a very fun car to own, but not recommended for a day to day driving vehicle.
