Great vehicle. Mine is a 2003 with 220,000 miles, but no one knows that but me. I've taken great care of it and it has taken great care of me. I see a lot of bad reviews here, but I can't find a bad thing to say about mine. Oh wait, the ashtray cover won't always stay down. Big deal. This car always starts, rides great and the BOSE is much more than you will ever need. I reccomend Cadillac to any and everyone. 27MPG also.

09:03 AM (PST) I too love the the Cadillac but unfortunately I will not own another one. The 1996 STS I had was a money pit. Constantly at the dealer for repairs. Had the engine resealed twice. It had 56k miles when I traded it. I traded it for a 2003 with 4k miles. It now has 30k miles and we have had the engine completely resealed, constantly fighting leaks, parts being replaced are lasting less than a year, the air/heater broke down, the seat heaters had to be repaired and the radio and cd changer doesn't work right. I am now looking to trade it in for something else.

Maybe it is just Me?

My first luxury car, and I think i picked a winner. At first I must say the car had some build issues, speakers, driver side heated seat, driving sensors, lets just say I got to know what a Cadillac dealership shop looked like. But I must say the staff where always helpful, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Once I got all the bugs worked out the car has been great. Taking this car on a road trip is a dream, the performance/comfort ratio truly lives up to the Cadillac name.

I just traded the car after two years. It had the most beautiful interior of any vehicle I've ever owned, but constantly had things going wrong after the warranty ran out. The water pump went at 51K, the seat warmer at 53K, the seat control at 57K and a sensor in the transmission at 66k that would cost $2K to replace (don't think anything was actually wrong with transmission). This last one was the final straw, and I sold it. For two people though, it was a wonderful road cruiser.

Used Cadillac is a great value (recommend certified used); a blast to drive, sharp looks, shifts beautifully, lots of toys.

This is my third STS and by far the best. I also had a '96 and a '98. This car's beautiful lines and aggressive wheels and tires make a great first impression. Mine has every option except navigation. It is very smooth, luxurious, and classy. It's much better than the Mercedes E430 that I traded in in every aspect. I am extremely satisfid with this car.

LOVE It

We had a '98 STS and loved it, but my partner's brother wanted to buy it so we sold it to him. We just purchased an '03 STS about two weeks ago and love it. This one unlike our first one is loaded. It has a sunroof, navigation, back up sensors, and OnStar. We love this car. We will never get rid of it. Its got 34,000 miles on it and still has factory warranty. We had a new 2006 Mercedes R350, their new crossover vehicle. It was junk. They had to buy it back because they couldnt fix it. We also just bought one of the last new '06 Yukons. We had an '04 but sold it. This one also has nav, rear DVD, sunroof, Denali, and OnStar. We will stick with GM for life. Thanks for making such great cars.

Fun to Drive

We live in Montana, lots of open road. Great acceleration even on the hills. Corners well, fun to drive. Fuel economy is about 25 mpg over 2000 miles driven. Smooth shifting. Great gadgets, stereo is the best I've ever had. Quiet ride even on bad roads. Handles very well in snow and ice.

I bought my 2003 Cadillac Seville STS from my father. I previously had a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. It had more miles than his car, so I bought it and sold my Jeep to my sister. Her Jeep belonged to my mother first. I miss the all-wheel drive and the navigation but, the Caddy had less miles, and more warranty. Overall I am happy with the caddy, but miss my Jeep.

Great SLS

Previously leased, low miles, 17k, clean, black with black leather, darkened the windows, came with chrome spoke wheels. Fine ride, very quick with 275hp, 26mpg highway, 22 in town. It is a little smooth compared to the STS but my 50 year old rear appreciates that! A real treat to look at and drive. :)

Impressive Car

The 2003 Cadillac Seville SLS is a solid, well performing and handling luxury car in every respect. Its smooth, powerful V8 engine is a delight as is the smooth but controlled ride. It is a thrill every time you drive it. This car makes you feel special. I love the exterior styling, especially when compared to the new STS, which is bland and not distinctive. Its iInterior ergonomics are excellent and its design is great. The Seville SLS is a very comfortable car and a plesaure on a long trips. Also, its size is perfect, not too big and not too small. This is Cadillac's best car ever. It rides better than a Lexus LS400.

Traded a 1999 Catera for my 2003 SLS. Enjoy it very much. Nice looking, drives like a dream. Not to firm yet not a yacht like a Deville. The interior is very nice. Driver control is excellent. I have a slight shake at highway speeds but will have the dealer check on first service. Considered CTS, glad I went with SLS. Used Cadillacs are in my opinion a very good value.

Great Luxury Sedan

Just the right size, rides as smooth as the DeVille, but doesn't look like a boat (smaller trunk is a negative). Great engine response--if your's doesn't MOVE OUT, try blowing out the carbon once/week. Pleasure to drive AND ride in, no squeeks/rattles @ 14K, small oil useage--1 qt/4K miles, very tolerable. Prefer FWD in Northern snowbelt, had to buy one of last SLS's with FWD.

Reliablity is a major issue

This car has got to be the worse car ever made. Problems with this car are never ending. First the gaskets all wear out so the engine pours out its oil all over my garage floor, supposedly common, a $4000 repair. Then there is the key getting stuck in the ignition, $200 repair. So far this car including all the repairs and the normal maintenace puts it in the range as a mercedes E class. Think twice before buying a cadillac. There are many cars that are more reliable and luxurious.

This was my experience with my STS which I've traded in now for an SLS 2003 for the softer ride. I miss some of the "goodies" as described in the inquiry.

We drive this vehicle over all kinds of roads, but mainly interstates. Very comfortable to ride in, ease of handling is superb, fuel mileage is decent, and sufficient room for four adults with luggage.

This car rips

This is my second STS. The original 2000 had some hard shifting points and was somewhat soft in the corners.The 2003 model was smoother to shift and is much firmer in cornering. They both were and are incredibly dependable, inexpensive to run and extremely reliable. My young 30 something wife loved the look and asked me to by the first one over BMW and Mercedes.

ETC Eldorado

I have had 2 ETC's. Best cars I have ever driven and would buy another one if it was still made. Same line as Seville - only 2 door. A van pulled out in front of me on a rainy night with slick roads. The van stalled. I had no place to go. Without the extra protection built into the cadi and the large heavy motor, I feel I would have been in the hospital or dead, when I hit the van at 45 miles an hr straight into the side. I could not stop, she turned so close to me and I had 2 other vehicles on each side, so I had no place to go. Thank you cadillac and "YES" I will be a return customer again and again.

The car is generally fine for a car its size. My main objection is the fan noise. At lower speeds( of the fan) it has a "gurgling" sound. Somwhat like a coffee perculator.Not so for the 1998 models.WHY?????

This is my fourth cadillac, second Seville. It is the best car on the road. The car turns heads, I like that. The ride is comfortable yet road responsive - a true pleasure. I had only one repair about seven years ago. cadillac roadside service arrived in about half an hour and fixed the car on the spot - WOW!!! Get dressed and go out; the car helps you feel special. Put the pedal to the metal and you can fly, physically and emotionally. A car should do more than travel; it should make you feel good. Seville is all that and more.

This will be my third Caddy and my second Seville this one is great! I love the power of this car and the suspension is the best of any Cadillac yet. I would rate this car a 10 all around if it had rear wheel drive to really take advantage of its power. Keep getting better Cadillac so we don't have to learn to speak German.

This car is a real pleasure to drive and own. I've owned Corvettes, Porsche's, and the handling and quality of this 2002 Seville STS is very well done. Likewise the craftmanship is of a high quality. I highly recommend this model to anyone who really enjoys driving.

Luxury Cruiser with great handling.

This car is so quiet, smooth and handles like a sports car. The new Magnetic Ride suspension makes it corner like its on rails, no swaying in the turn. So quiet you only hear the exhaust and don't realize how fast you are moving. Beautiful interior and front panel. This car still get lots of looks, not like any deville. It's a beautiful car. It gives me a "thrill" that Lexus, Lincoln and Audi didn't when driving.

The most bang for the buck.

Break through. That's exactly what Cadillac is doing with it's current line up, and the Seville STS is not execption. Anything from the world- class suspension to the overly impressive NorthStar engine, the STS is a muscle car with class, sophistication, and elegence. Turning heads might be a problem though, as you whiz by any traffic anywhere before anyone knows what passed them.
