I am from a GM family. My father worked for GM for 34 years. That's what I was raised on. I used to be proud to say that I had only owned Cadillacs. 1987 Sedan deVille, 1991 Seville STS, 1995 DeVille Concours, 1997 Eldorado Touring Coupe, 1999 Seville STS, 2001 Seville SLS. My first two I purchased used and the last four I drove right off of the dealer's lot. I was the youngest person to have purchased new cars from this dealer. However, the last 3 made many trips back to that same lot. All three of those cars were riddled with electronics problems. I even had the engineers down from Detroit to look at my cars. Each was different. Even though those 3 cars had many of the same systems, they didn't all act the same. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. Should you have to be 6 inches away from your car for the keyless entry to work --- I don't think so. Should your electric steering wheel just decide to not work and then move while you are driving down the road --- I don't think so. Should the engine in your $54,000 STS simply die while driving down the highway at 80 mph --- I don't think so. The gauge cluster in my SLS died and they had to send it to Texas to be repaired. OK, no problem, right?? Wrong. In this age of overnight shipping it took them 30 days to return my car. All of this while I'M the one being labeled as the problem. While my car was at the dealership one of the final times it was damaged -- both rear doors were dented. The owner of the dealership told me that I damaged the car and was just trying to get them to fix it for free. He lost my business that day. And I never had a Northstar engine that didn't use oil (about 3 quarts in 5,000 miles) or make a lot of noise (cam chains). These are just a few of the problems I have had. I put 23,000 miles on rental cars in the 2 years I owned the 2001 SLS. My 1997 SC now has 114,000 miles on it and is running great. I bought it last year at my local dealer with 82,000 miles on the clock. Extremely good experience. I liked it so well that we went back this year and bought my wife a 2001 RX with Navi. I can definitely tell you that GM will not be getting my business any time soon (even with the discount through my father). I already have my next car picked out; a pearl white LS430.
