Faults:

A new alternator in early 1998, a new starter in late 1998, a new radiator in 1999, and finally I blew the engine in 2005. Although I hated to do it, I had to say good bye!! to this car.

General Comments:

This car I absolutely fell in love with the moment I saw iton the showroom floor. I had to have it. So I traded in my 1984 Oldsmobile 98, for this beauty. Owing this 1988 Cadillac was like a dream that ended up in a sad nightmare. I can say the car almost gave me almost 400,000 miles of pure enjoyment and handled like a sports car. I still miss it, but hey, time marches on.

Faults:

A-C service light keeps coming on and no amount of servicing seems to correct the problem.

Front passenger seat is tilted uncomfortably far back and the manual doesn't specify how to correct the problem.

General Comments:

Otherwise, it's a fine car. It has a respectable amount of power.

Fuel consumption is decent on the highway, at 10 litres per 100 km. We, won't talk about city driving.

It's surprisingly nimble with a a terrific turning radius.

For it age, the problems are not out of the norm.

Faults:

The only annoying problem the car ever developed was that the power switch for the radio broke making it impossible to turn the radio on. It cost over $400 to have this replaced since the entire radio would have to be removed from the car/dash so I decided against that.

The only other problem was the alternator belt broke at 250,000 miles, however that was my fault since I failed to check it properly in a timely manner.
