For whatever reason, and I have no idea why, but those mid '80s-early '90s GM "box" models just have some sort of charm to them. It's hard to describe, because they're not really a desirable car by any means, but they just grow on you after time with them.
Rick's right though, those full size FWD 3.8L GM cars are excellent runabout cars, for all the reasons listed.
Another great suggestion would be a 92-96 Park Avenue Ultra. Well 1991
too if you don't mind not having the Supercharged 3800. They share all of the 3800 powered cars positive traits, but they were by far the most luxurious and most plush...those seats are to die for! And they've got more features than any of your Cadillacs do Ben! And the performance was always quite good, even in the initial 205hp form the Supercharged 3800 had from 1992-93.
The design is just beautiful too...well as good as any '90s Buick would be, aside from the '95 Riviera. It was compared to a Jaguar XJ-6 when it came out, and you can see the resemblance in it's formal, but sleek and contemporary, almost European lines. The interior is gorgeous too...deep pillow top leather seats, full guages, loads of faux wood trim...overall just a nice layout. This is definitely the Cadillac of the 3800 powered cars.
Here's a '91 Park Avenue Ultra.
If that isn't you Ben, I don't know what is.
Otherwise, if you like the idea of a full sized luxury sedan powered by the 3800, try a 91-96 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight. It's basically the same car as a Park Ave Ultra, but just with a different interior and exterior. The design is....polarizing to say the least. Some, myself included, like it, others hate it. It's definitely different.
Here's a 1993 Ninety Eight Touring Sedan; Oldsmobile's version of the Ultra Park Avenue. These could get the supercharged 3800, but they all had the full analog guage cluster, bucket seats, floor shift & console, blackout trim, performance suspension and performance final drive ratio. It's sorta like the DeVille Concours, except like $8,000 cheaper when new. The Touring Sedans are very rare though, most Ninety Eights were your basic american luxury sedan....six passenger, column shift, digital dash, etc etc. Nice cars though, much rarer than the Park Avenues, and certainly undervalued.
