Pros:Big interior, Powerful V8, cushy ride, comfortable seats, some technology features, power seats, good radio, electronic climate control, great highway cruiser, good gas mileage for a 4600 lb car, electronic fuel center
Cons: ac goes out and only blows air not cold or hot, power trunk closer, load leveling suspension in the rear gets leaks easy and runs the compresor every now and then
The 93 de Ville is personally one of my favorite years, besides the 58 Elderado Brougham. It has a fairly powerful push-rod 4.9 litre V-8. 200bhp & 275 lbs/ft of torque. It weighs about 4686-lbs GVWR. It has speed sensitive suspension, ans speed sensitive steering, with load leveling suspension in the rear. Mine has tracton control that uses the brakes to control slipage. This was an option in 93. It also has the security package, which is the keyless entry. This also deletes the trunk mounted door unlock button.
Mine also has the illuminated entry system which was an option. The 93 has a power hand brake that automatically takes off the hand brake when you put in gear. The 93 also has lamp monitors on ether side of the hood and also inside car above the inside brake light. The outside ones tell you your lights, brights and corresponding turn signal are working. And the ones inside tell you your brake lights are working. The rearview mirror is an automatic day/night mirror that brightens the image in the mirror during the day, and darkens it at night.
In 93 a power garage door opener, digital speedomitor, moonroof, vanity mirrors, windshield defroster glovebox mounted power gas tanke opener, delco-bose gold edition tape player, or a delco bose cd-player, and traction control were the listed options available on the 93 devilles, they also offered the phaeton roof, which was that special cloth roof. The 93 has an Electronic Climate Control which I love.
The engine area is a little small for that big V-8, and as such has little room in which to work with if you wish to work on the car yourself. That is what I like to do, and love about this car. This is a car with everything computer controled, ,and yet you can still work on it yourself. Very easy to do in fact. never have any trouble changing the oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and so on. That is why I prefer my 93 over my 99.
All in all i am very impressed with cadillac. And yes Im 16 and not as old or have had much exsperiance working on other cars, but I have been around them for a while and know my stuff. Especially on cadillacs. This is a car I will always love and work to it working. And another thing I like is the owners book that comes with it. It is very nicely put together. Has pictures of older cadillacs, has the Penalty Of Leadership written on wax paper, and hasnt fallen apart like my 99 has. And the leather on the book fells soft and looks great.
This is a car you want to cruise in. Just kick back and cruise. But it has enough power to keep up with and pass the traffic. Even though the 93 lets in more road noise because of not having a chassis as stiff as the 94 and up. But it looks better with the crome bumper, and the more squared front end with the two little bumber extentions. And the 93 has nicer crome work and the very helpful lamp moniters. It may have more road noise, but it looks better in my oppinion than the 94-99 year models. And I have a 99 so I can say that.
