The Cadillac Seville's focus shifted from function to fun in 2001. The most noticeable change came in the form of an optional Infotainment system that includes a PDA, hands-free cell phone set, CD-ROM drive, and a navigation system all hooked to Bose speakers. Other adjustments include improved headlights and a tire-pressure monitoring system. OnStar now comes standard on both trims: the SLS and STS. Otherwise, the Seville delivers the same features and performance as it always has.
Cadillac's longstanding midsized sedan has 4 doors and seats 5. Fuel consumption runs from 17 mpg in the city to 28 mpg on the highway. The SLS uses a 4.6 L, 275 hp V8 engine with 4 speed automatic while the STS uses a 300 hp version. Standard features include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, leather seats, power seats, cd player, ABS brakes, and traction control. Sunroof comes optional. In addition, trunk space still comes out to 15.7 cubic feet on both trims.
As usual, Seville owners feel ambivalent about their car. On one hand, they enjoy the smooth handling and superlative performance. On the other hand, a broken-in model tends to spend more time in the shop than on the road. Remember to check the condition on your used 2001 Cadillac Seville before you spring for one.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the 2001 Cadillac Seville for its strong performance, smooth handling, and luxurious interior. Acceleration is frequently praised, particularly with the powerful Northstar V8 engine. However, some owners express concerns about the cost of repairs, especially related to oil leaks. Despite its age, many find it to be reliable and still a head-turner on the road."
Excellent acceleration. Strong brakes, Nice balance of ride and handling. Neutral cornering; hard to tell its FWD. Solid build quality. Beautiful interior. Very comfortable. Fun when you want it; effortless when you just want to get somewhere. I love it.
February 25, 2009Honestly, Cadillac did something right with this baby. They put a lot of effort into performance and looks. And with a 32 valve Northstar V8 putting out 300+ HP it can't be beat by most competitors in its class. It is comfortable, and they last if you take care of them. PLUS it is a 2001 and I average 26 MPG on the highway! Beat that Subaru with your 25 from a inline 4.
November 6, 2008What I like about my Seville is that even though she is 12 years old she is still an eye grabber by other drivers. She handles very well, a very quite ride when driving on long trips. My partner loves my Cadillac, this was my first car I had ever since I was 15 I love it then and I love it now.

January 23, 2013This car has a northstar V8 which is very reliable. this car accelerates very well but it only brakes decently The car has very good build quality This car is a thrill to drive, it takes just a little bit of gas to jump up in miles per hour
April 6, 2012Fun car to drive , very costly to repair any oil leaks, 114,000 and 10 years old and still going strong with no signs of rust. I get plenty of favorable compliments from my neighbors and strangers in the parking lots while out shopping.
