Bought Father's Car and Love It

2003 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

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.

Favorite Features

I love the OnStar and XM satellite radio. Also, this car has great power and a very smooth ride.

Suggested Improvements

The gas tank is on right side of new model, that is annoying. If i could afford a brand new STS, I would not buy it. I hate gas tank on right side of any car. Other than that, I figure that the new STS would have much better ride quality than my 2003.

Great SLS

2003 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

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. :)

Favorite Features

Profile is low, smooth, agressive, and nice!

Suggested Improvements

None.

Impressive Car

Review

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.

Favorite Features

The Bose Stereo with XM radio, rain sensing wipers, rear park assist, supurb ride, powerful V8 engine, smooth ride, quiet interior, and all the safety features

My Second Cadillac

2003 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

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.

Favorite Features

Interior is plush. Love the moonroof.

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of any at this time

Great Luxury Sedan

2003 Cadillac Seville SLS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

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

2003 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

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.

Favorite Features

V8 smooth ride --cont review from above. . My two other cars a honda and an acura with thier combined maintenance and no repairs at all in the past 3 years compare to this cars.

Suggested Improvements

Getting better engineers to design the car. Stop cutting corners to get a final product. When they say japanese reliability and german engineering is awesome, believe it. After giving this american car a chance, I wont be buying one ever again.

This car rips

2003 Cadillac Seville STS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

Review

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.

Favorite Features

Performance. I live in the mountains of CO and this car rips up the inclines with no problem.

Suggested Improvements

The cloth on the ceiling seems a little less than high grade.
