2002 Cadillac Seville Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by drew

Powertrain performance

The V8 300 HP NorthStar system is fantastic.

Interior styling

Nice leather, wood trim, large interior. One of the most comfortable mid-size luxury sedan.

Audio & nav systems

Mine has the dvd nav bose system. It is amazing, excellent sound and can watch movies. The navigaton itself is horrible which I blame on the antena, though I do not use it as I have gps on my phone.

Ride smoothness

I installed a sway bar which was standard on I believe the pre-2000s which tightened up the firmness in the ride. Being a cadillac it is of course smooth however mine is was manufactured in late 2002 meaning it has MagnaRide, which is used by Ferarri.

Brand reputation & image

It is a cadillac and being a large car turns some heads.

Materials & workmanship

For myself it is not an issue. For most, ESPECIALLY in Canada, parts are very expensive, and labour rates seem very inflated, ie 5 hours to do a water pup, and 5 hours to do a motor mount both of which should only take 2 hours each. Recommend going to USA

Fuel economy

It is not horrible for a V8, but i seem to average 11L / 100KM and given the cost of gas it is one of most Cadillacs in general negative points.
