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.

  Northstar engine bad design - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By johnr24 - April 7 - 9:53 am

  The Northstar engine until about 2002 had lugbolts that were too short. So it blows a headgasket climbing hills. $3500 to repair with new longer bolts. No old high mileage Northstars ,only dead ones. Engine not considered rebuildable. A Cadillac engine design mistake (30 yr Cad owner)

  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!

  Dream car! Well, When It runs right... - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By ingloriousish - August 7 - 4:42 am

  I absolutely LOVE the feel of sliding in my car, turning that key (steering wheel, Seat AND mirrors adjust accordingly) and feeling that sexy piece of Northstar purr. But on the honest note, It has its problems. I bought it used w/ 130,000. Ive had one episode of overheating. Aside from that, Itll go to 3/4 temp gauge, drop and run nominal from there... If anyone has an answer for that, Feel free to holler at me! Anyway, INCREDIBLE car. Totally worth the money as long as youre willing to put some more into it!

  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.

  Better with each passing mile - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By Super High Mile STS - November 17 - 10:20 pm

  Love this Caddy! Bought it with 167K on the clock. No leaks! Runs strong and 18.5 mpg city and 26 hwy! Can you beleive it? Great inside and out. I have never loved a car this much! Slate Gray exterior on light beige leather. Every conceiveable option except a sunroof. North V8 best engine around! Deep throaty sound upon acceleration. Still a head turner...

  Love THis Car - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By David - June 18 - 4:40 pm

  My SLS is the first luxury car Ive owned. It has 109,000 miles on it.This car is quick, responsive and performs very well. Ive had it for about 9 months and love driving it. Since I bought it I have only had to take care of mminor maintainance. Since moving to Colorado I notice that it starts running much warmer when going up steep grades. The Temp control unit for the heat and a/c has recently gone out and the trunk leaks. I get great gas mileage with this car and have gotten it as high as 26 mpg avg.

  Love My New Caddy - 1999 Cadillac Seville
  By jlauria751 - March 18 - 7:11 pm

  I had an accident with my previous 99 sts. I missed it so much I purchased the exact same car. Its a great car it drives identically to my previous cadillac. which was a suprise because I bought with 115,000 miles. My best advice in keeping a car running well is Change The Oil Every 3,000 miles! I put synthetic in my car and never go past 4,500 miles never. In this car the most expensive repair was a steering rack$500, I put in a bose door speaker $230 worth every penny, and had to replace a motor mount $110 installed. It helps to work for a dealership and get employee price. I burn 3/4 of a pint of oil between oil changes not bad. although these cars are known for drinking oil.
