| Re: 2000 Cadillac Seville STS To be honest, the shimmy doesn't bother me so bad. I usually never go above 65MPH, and the one time I was on the Interstate for a long period of time it wasn't present. When I got the car, it had a slight shimmy, but nothing major. Now, it's extremely noticeable. That's what I get for not rotating the tires at my last oil change...
But my favorite thing about this car has always been the styling. I mean, nothing is as elegant and sophisticated as the Seville STS. Sure all that other fancy crap it comes with is great, but if I didn't have the leather, bose stereo, heated seats, etc. I wouldn't care. Also, I find the ride of the newer model better. It doesn't crash over bumps like mine does, and it seems to do a better job of balancing ride and handling. It also has a solidity about it that mine just doesn't have. However, the styling and interior design are no match for Seville. The Seville's are fine cars, just have to watch out for issues. Since all that headgasket nonsense already happened to my car, I expect to get many good years out of mine.
My Toyota had some issues that were extremely annoying. The bitch rattled more everyday I drove it, the sunroof was broken and was going to cost $1000 to get fixed, and the paint was becoming faded and scratched more easily than other 8 year old cars should. However, as an around town car it was great. 25MPG, decent stereo, best A/C ever put in a car. But when I drive it now, I realize how much I love my Cadillac. |
