Nupe Life did you have the car back in the 90s? Boy I feel like even now this car is an attention grabber by people that are into cars, I can’t even imagine how cool it must have been to have a brand new one back in the 90s when they first came out. My first car and first Cadillac was a 1999 Seville SLS back in 2012... and even tho it was an almost 15 year old car then, people still gave me compliments about it. Ever since I’ve been looking for an 03 STS All Black, inside and out, but they’re incredibly difficult to find in decent conditions. Most of them are owned by people that don’t seem to know how to take care of a car lol. Since I was never able to find one like that I ended up finding an 07 STS with that same exact color combination. Did I love that car man. Also got so many compliments even tho it was a nearly 7 year old car back in 2014 when I got it. For some reason people thought it was a brand new car lol. The only thing I hated is that some people would confuse it with a CTS so I had to teach them a thing or 2 about the differences between the CTS and STS.

I loved it too, but that engine always had me paranoid that something was going to happen to it based on all the horror stories I read regarding the headgaskets lol. Riding in it felt like you were on a soft cloud and boy was it fast even tho the SLS only had the 275HP rather than the 300HP that the STS had. Anyway, I always wanted this model year but was never able to find one the exact same way that I wanted it, which was a black Exterior with a black interior. I ended up trading my 1999 SLS for an 07 Cadillac STS. Now that’s a whole other car, that I also loved but had many issues. It was the 3.6 v6 which had a very common issue with the timing chains, thankfully I was able to get mine replaced without paying a cent due to it being so common that Cadillac put a recall on it. I had it for about 3 years before also trading it in for a 2012 Malibu. Man I miss the feel of that luxury car.

What a great looking tan leather interior with classic curvey 90s dashboard. Better looking than even the exterior

A revolution in design for Cadillac at the time and still a great-looking car today. Must be one of the top designs of the '90's...for style, anyway. Engineering? Um....

Rented an STS once; it had the Northstar engine, stability control and adaptive suspension. To this day I still remember how impressed I was at it's level of equipment, how comfortable it was, and how well it drove. My aunt had a Lexus LS 400 at the time and my mom had a Mercedes 400E, so I was intimately familiar with both those cars. Build quality, reputation, and reliability notwithstanding, I actually felt the Cadi was a better car than the Lexus and Mercedes in every other way. Don't know why it wasn't a runaway success; it certainly deserved to be. Anyways, looking back now, it's funny how old things become new again: I remember when all the domestic brands had these fully digital dashes that would even talk to you... yet they were often criticized it back then, and eventually just went back to analog gauges. I guess they were just ahead of their time, seeing how virtual dashes are all the rage now and talking cars are even making a comeback - I'm looking at you Mercedes 😁

Same year as my Sedan DeVille! Would love to have a Touring Sedan of my model as well as one of these beauties!

The 1990's was my favorite decade for the luxury car, & this STS is a perfect example of why. The latest in technology coupled with the classic elegance, luxury, & style that buyers had come to demand.

I had that model year in 99. Loved that car.

I had a 1997…great car.

I had an 03 SLS for a few years and LOVED it. Pearl white, black tinted windows. Only my previous lincoln town car was more comfortable, but the SLS had far better handling. I sold it out of fear of head gasket issues, although I never had any engine or trans problems.

You got lucky!

Very beautiful this Cadillac Seville Solid, beautifull and confortable

Even in 2022, and as a current 2011 Maybach V12 owner, the exterior styling still is spot on.

Elegant, sleek design paired together w. best reliable and proven engine.

Back when Cadillac started to LISTEN.

Love how in 1992 you could buy this car and and the Fleetwood Brougham from the same dealership.

Daily driven a 93 4.9 Seville since 2010. Was my first car and still don't need or want a new one. Biggest issues I've had with it were the fuel pressure regulator in 2014 and the throttle position senor in 2018. Both very easy fixes, under a half hour each. Both factory parts as far as I could tell. Drive it like I stole it half the time and I live in the desert where its 100+ degrees for almost half the year. Amazing car.

This car from a styling/design standpoint is the high water mark for Cadillac in the fuel injected era. That along with its Eldorado counterpart. Both of these cars are just so subtly handsome, well designed, its hard to find a bad angle or body line on either of them. Granted the 2nd gen CTS might have been a lot more bold(especially in coupe and wagon form), but they are kind of showy, gaudy, like a 1950's Cadillac, not that more subtle style like a 65-70 or 77 to 79 Deville.

Gorgeous styling and with the 4.9, the only one I'd want. Too bad the Northstar showed up next year.

1:10 so big that blocks the entire road...Lol... I love Caddys, I love the great american cars. My dream car is the new Cadillac CT6

What was striking, and odd, was to go to a Cadillac showroom in '92 and see that next to a Fleetwood that didn't look much different than in the 70s...

5:19 - noted they had Winger in the CD player. Definitely an early 1990s thing.

Good catch - this was "In the Heart of the Young" CD... Winger's two biggest hits, "Seventeen" and "Heading for a Heartbreak" were not on this album but their other well-known mainstream hit, "Miles Away", was. It's the tape that is playing but I don't recognize that song at all.

My all time favorite Cadillac!!!

Gotta luv those head bolts and head gaskets on the cadie

Man these were good cars very good car with the 4.9

The Cadillac and the Oldsmobile took similarities in the Euro Touring Sedan look. Both were really great looking cars.

The last beautiful Cadillac,this and the Eldorado,now its all oddball design

Underrated looking car

I've got a 1989 Sts with the solid 4.5 v8 I love this body style though and hope to eventually find a clean 92

I have one 1994 with 40k miles. Green with tan interior. Mint condition

Looks handsome.

I think the tailights on the test car were just about to fog up, LOL😅 It was and still is a great looking car though💯

I owned a 94 black on black STS with the same style rims just chrome and let me tell you it was a panty dropper back in the day.

This was a car that appealed to younger buyers.

This would have been a wonderful rwd, i would still buy this one just to slam it, it look so good

Hoovie’s Garage just rescued one of these. And Tyler did mention Damocles’ Headgasket.

Best car ever, still love my 1993 seville, I will keep it until its taken away by a huge flood. At least I hope I can afford the repairs until then.

Had this car 🌟

I was a kid when these were still common, here in the states. Quite a few that are still around, these days, despite a lot that are junked.

Good god, look at all the smoke coming off the brakes after that 60-0 test xD

4.9 the one to have. Northstar engine complete timebomb. The fact they thought they could compete in that segment with fwd looks strange now.

How did GM possibly think this could compete with the LS400 I have no idea. Couldn't they have at least made it rear-wheel drive? Yes, it matters.

As the video points out, the front drive configuration actually provided an advantage over rwd due to the superior traction. Yes, it matters.

Rare combo here, most Seville 93 and later were Northstar. The 4.9 was far more common in the Eldorados and the SDV until 95. Cadillac would have ended up in a very different position if they had adapted the 4.9 to OBDII and continue it as a credit option or something like that.

This 4.9 engine was a delight to drive

@@peter455sd Depends which model and year you had. I had both engines myself. The 4.9L doesn't have the power that the Northstar 32 valve has. I'm not saying that the other is bad, but there are some other improvements that made the Northstar engine and systems even more delightful to drive.

My friend,in order to explain to you my point of view i have to go back to 1979-80 when they decided to get on their knees and bow to the all powerful CAFE and their army of bolsheviks,the automobile died after that,sorry i don't have time or disposition to engage in a debate,some other time perhaps

Still looking good.

Everyone I every saw had screwed up tail lights.
