I bought this car 7 years ago in 2008 as a second car. It had 84K miles on it then and has 104K on it now. The STS is the sporty version of the standard Seville. Numerous upgrades over the base car include faster steering, FE2 suspension and interior upgrades really helps separate this car from the base model. While the 4.9L carry's over from the base car, the STS does have a numerically higher final drive ratio for added snap. It's a well handling, powerful car and the short body, while somewhat small inside, does pay dividends in handling. You can still tell there's some mass hanging in the front end but it's easy to balance with the throttle. A surprisingly great old car.

I have owned this Cadillac since new.
It now has 191,000 miles and although I have had work done on it, it is all maintenance.
This is one of 4 Cadillacs I have owned and it rides the best.
At 20 years old it rides better than my 2012 Lexus.
Better than the new cadillacs

I just bought a cherry 91 to replace my old one. The car is perfect in every way, but must not be neglected. It is beautiful, powerful, fast and nimble. Everything about it fits me.
Best Caddy ever

i recently got this from my father to drive around New York City. Okay the car is horrible on gas. However that doesn't matter once you hit the highway in it. It quickly accelerates but wish it had more power. However I'm disappointed that Caddy doesn't make the newer STS in the design of this one because this is truly an American muscle classic and it's a Cadillac. It's pretty reliable, however it does have its occasional problems and the speakers stink, but the car is as old as me so go figure. However I love it and wish Caddy would make their cars looking after this one. It's true=ly the last of an era and should be an American classic.
Great Old Caddy with Power

I bought this car to take the place of my 2002 STS because I got tired of the repairs. I must say this has been an impressive car. Other than not having the looks of the newer STS models, it runs very strong, rides like a dream, and has been fairly trouble free. I had to have the load level system fixed, but other than that, what a great car to travel in.
Excellent Car

I purchased this car used with 162,000 miles on it. The previous owner did an excellent job at maintaining it. For it's age, the car is great. The interior has held up well. The paint still shines and the car has incredible power. With the exception of the sentinel lighting, all of the power options still work. Overall, it is very well built, with no mechanical problems.
Total Beast

My 1991 Cadillac Seville drives like an absolute beast and floats on the freeway. Its suspension is fun, but be careful with speed bumps.
Many repairs

I've had to make lots of repairs to my 1991 Cadillac Seville for a car with 125,000 miles. The fuel injectors went out @ 120,000 miles..$1,200. I replaced front strutswent at @ 11,0000 miles-$400. The exhaust went bad @ 122,000 miles - $250. The driver's side power window is not working - not repaired. The rear speakers blew @ 115,000 miles - not repaired. The rear air ride shocks are leaking - not repaired. The interior is cracking on door the panels and arm rest. It gets poor gas milage - 13.5 in city.

At 175,000 miles, everything that can
go wrong on this car has gone wrong.
The brakes, the bearings, the
speedometer, the whole electronical
system all have gone out. I currently
have 17 oil leaks and counting. I do
not suggest buying this car unless you
have a bank account with this car's
name on it. Every repair is very
expensive, just to change the 8 spark
plugs its $300.00!!(In Florida)
One of the best for that year!

This is the only year that the small Seville had the 4.9 liter HO engine. It's a
BMW killer -- which in an older Cadillac is a real surprise. It accelerates
faster than the 3 series Beemers, and corners extremely agressively -- with
its speed sensitive steering and shock rate, the car becomes a demon on
the corners when pushed hard. Reliability has been outstanding, although fit
and finish in these Cadillacs is only average -- not up to the standards of
Lexus or Mercedes. Major components -- engine, transmission, AC -- keep
on working. At 161k miles, it's still going strong.
