@kjh 1 very unintellectual comment.... whos dumb now?

YIA SOU PATRIDA !!!

Loved this car. Beatuifull Cadillac STS. I love old Cadiilac, authentic cadillac style

Yep, real wood and cheap head gasket bolts. What a joke.

@@mattvallance614 Not on the 4.9 V8 in 1992 and 1993 SLS

​@@perfectjazz78that was still a relatively bad engine tho, they should've just stuck with a normal GM engine like a 3800 V6 or an LT V8

Bad engine? LOL I have had great luck with mine and many are on the road with over 300K+ miles. All it takes to keep these going strong is premium gasoline and routine oil and collant changes. @@thestarlightalchemist7333

Brandie loved the back seat 💕

Still is!

Still is

@Ale Bob Oh yes... that is why it is one of the most well known and admired car brands worldwide...

It STILL is. 100x better looking than any 2020 Caddy.

Carlos Clivilles - That shade is often referred to as cognac, or saddle. Saddle is typically lighter than cognac.

Mista Butterworth, and Beechwood as well.

This interior of Cadillac STS is beautifull

Telling yourself that boomer

I agree. I love squared off boxy cars like this. Boxy with ever so slightly rounded corners.

Car & Track was doing it in the '60s and '70s

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. Would you agree that the 4.9 was much better than the Northstar?

Engine extremely strong???? Hahahahaha your funny this is the Northstar V8 were talking about.

@@Maximus20778 That's exactly what i was thinking. This Caddy is beautiful, but my understanding is those Northstar V8 later turned out to be really unreliable. Mechanics joke about em.

​@@Maximus20778The Northstar came in 1993. The Cadillacs could come with the 4.9 pushrod V8 prior. Talk about not watching the video or doing research...

@@RobertGarcia-wb4hy I had a Northstar Caddy from '97 - '07, the high output 300 hp version, and never had a problem with it or the car in general. It was a beautiful car that I'd like to have back, at least in the condition it was when I owned it. When I put it up for sale, the first person who looked at it bought it on the spot without haggling. That was a sign of two things - it showed very well, and I my asking price was too low. 😄

I'd take any modern Cadillac over any modern Lexus, hands down.

@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg You're one of a few

@@johnplayer3093 I know, and it's a real shame buyers aren't rewarding Cadillac for the tremendous work they've been doing over the last few years. They're building some of the best-looking cars on the market, hands down, meanwhile the current Lexus lineup all just look like angry fish-aliens.

Well the lexus is boring when compared to other cars but they are at least are reliable

@@mkratos17 that might be true, but from the way John says it here it sure seems like after just a few years in existence Lexus was being used as the standard and Cadillac was just trying to keep up....sad and crazy considering how Caddy was the worldwide luxury standard for decades

tarin theera I agree

Yea. Everyone was trying to be unique, and you could tell them all apart. Now, you cant tell a lexus from a chevy. Sad.

LRulesTheWorld it is sad that you can't distinguish between two cars that look totally different.

Micheal Micheal Go ahead and line up every crossover and sedan, in their respective classes, and remove the badges. I can guarantee you that you will never be able to tell the difference between any of them.

LRulesTheWorld Yeah sure whatever.

>Robert D: There were no shortcomings with the Northstar. They ran it all the way up to 2011 and even managed to supercharge it while backing it with one of the best warranties in the business.

@Matthew Caughey: No. GM was panicking because Lexus put a DOHC V8 in the LS400 in 1989. The InTech showed up late to the DOHC V8 party and was just a wannabe Northstar.

brian weymouth yea, this car looks so sexy and sleek. I had a 1999 Seville SLS with the V8 Northstar. 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.

Think the head gasket blew by now?

Not a northstar, it's probably been melted down, but the headgasket probably wasn't the reason.

brian weymouth ..took a jackass mechanic to create a problem with that 4.9 28 years on...

I had this car twice (because I don’t learn) and the head gasket blew on me both times. But it was a pretty car. Still miss it and look what’s out there from time to time (I should know better) 😂

Lexus better

Yes, very well said.

Haha so true.

Jason M i had the 1999 Seville SLS with the Northstar and I loved it. It was so smooth and felt strong as heck too. It had 150k miles at the time, but the interior was in good condition. I miss it. I traded it in for a 2008 Cadillac STS at around 155k miles. So I didn’t drive it that much lol.

I had a 1998 Eldorado that blew a head gasket at 100k and sat in my mom's driveway for six months. She literally called it that, "beautiful junk."

This was pre- NorthStar, this was a very reliable drivetrain. The interior plastic on the other hand...

Bucky Rodgerdodger yeah and you were lucky to see one without a burn out section a few years later

Bucky Rodgerdodger the led high mounted stop light was secretly tested the year before on the GM minivan fleet.

tail lights fogged up after few dozen car washes

@@ph7715 The tail lights had a clear/ fogged look from the factory, they were designed to look that way,. you can tell by looking at this brand new example.

distinctively remember my gramps had his back to dealer multiple times with condensation in taillights. they replaced both of them, it happpened again and they said he had to live with it. very poor design. they accused him of over washing car can you believe it, lol?

I always remember seeing them with condensation behind the fogged clearish panel, everyone I ever saw had moisture in them, probably a way to seal em up tight and make them water tight.

Nice! My mom still drives the same 1994 Seville that I grew up with. We bought it back in the 90s and still runs flawless with well over 300k now. I have a newer 2000 Seville STS that I drive daily.

My parents still drive their 1994 Seville from the 92 Seville that failed around the time it was still a new car. The Northstar is insanely fast and are fantastic. They are my favorite engines for a modern day Cadillac.

The NORTHSTAR V 8 WAS A DISASTER !!!

@@dinopappous6639 I've literally seen 100's of Northstar Caddies this year alone, from a '92 Seville to a '11 DTS, so Cadillac must have done something right.

@@dinopappous6639 technically the blackwing engine is the successor

@@theunknown-nj5so exactly

@@hakeemsd70m no Northstar v8s are trash

Look a little closer because before the Northstar were all the older HT engines that use to line up the Cadillac sections!

How about all the old 4.9 engines sitting there....i bet they all spun bearings and overheated like mine did to me. thats all that i saw when I went to the junkyard. all the old 4.5 and 4.9 engines.

@@jakeabernathy1537 Yes exactly. Everyone seems to forget that all junkyards use to be loaded up with all the older Cadillac's. The HT engines were the primary engines used. And before that, they use to be all the older Cadillac's from the 50s, 60s and 70s. At one time, each of those cars were worthless and if there was an engine problem, they got junked too. Its no different today, same exact mentality people have. Sadly enough, people in other countries keep their cars, fix them if needed and continue driving them. Only here in America people get wasteful and junk something when something happens.

>Robert Bell: You'll see STS and CTS from the 2000's piling up in the junkyard nowadays. V6's mainly.

@@TeeroyHammermill oh I'm sure. The dreaded 3.6 High Failure V6

Even for 92? The 70’s American luxury cars had interiors that were the epitome of luxurious. Cadillac Talisman, BuickElectra, Oldsmobile Regency’s, Chrysler’s New Yorker, Lincoln Continental. Even for the 70’s whatever that means

@@dontellgucci1117 I guess it's all just a matter of taste. The 70's interiors were nice, but usually made with cheap materials (plastic wood veneer, anyone?) and of course reflect that decade's idea of "luxury", which doesn't always age well. What I'm saying more is that, the 92 Cadillac's interior still looks surprisingly modern and tasteful for a car that was made almost 30 years ago. THAT is timeless design.

I got lucky and got one for 1400 with a rebuilt intake manifold and engine (222k miles because of me now, bought it at around 216k), and it's the best feeling car I've ever driven.

The guy I bought it from thought that he was selling a piece of shit but when I saw the lettering on the manifold and the milage I knew what was up.

@@MagikSpellzz I was looking for one that was more like 45000 miles and had been stuck in the garage of an elderly couple for the last 30 years. I'm in Florida, so I know they're around.

Same! Google algorithms at work

@@glennsundin8495 Absolutely. Google is always listening and watching. Always.

Lol me 2

lol me too

Me too

JasN MoNey and with the addition of the Northstar V8, Cadillac firmly placed themselves into a grave.

This 1992 model year car is simply the best. Still had the rock solid 4.9 V8. One year too early to have the Northstar. Wish they would have continued with that engine a little longer.

What it lacked was a rear-wheel drive system and North Star reliability

@@jehadhjaya2767 north star reliabilty are u crazy

@@MrMitokiller I mean, the North Star engine wasn't reliable.

@@jehadhjaya2767 there is a permanent fix for the head bolt issue, you retread the block with wider treads, put bigger arp studs and it will never fail again

Wrong

Praetorian 90s cars actually demand high standards. Especially luxury cars. The standard today is so low, that its considered a luxury car if it has a touchscreen, chrome, and 50 sensors that tell you how to drive. People dont even care that most 'luxury' models now are powered by garbage motors, most of the time even more unreliable than this caddy here.

LRulesTheWorld I agree. Nowadays “luxury” consists of things like backup cameras, 30 airbags, MPG, eco friendly, light weight, folding seats etc... I don’t care about any of that bullshit. Why can’t I have a damn ashtray if I want 1? I’m not here to save the planet, give me a real luxury car without forcing these pussy safety regulations while trying to pass them off as “luxury” amenities.

Samuelfish For real. My 1994 Mercedes had 3 ash trays. My 2017 Cruze has 0. It doesn't even have a CD player, I guess those are becoming a thing of the past. New cars are definitely safer and more reliable, but older cars have so much more character and were built to last

Samuelfish I have a 93 Typhoon. It has three ashtrays and a cigarette lighter! I love that truck for it's reliability, simplicity and performance. GM hasn't made anything like it since! These older vehicles are becoming quite collectable.

landyachtfan79 I had a 93 gs300 loved that car

Nice! the 4.6L is fantastic and my favorite!

Cadillacs were all over the DiMeo family. Highlights are Silvio's Sevilles, Paulie's ETC and CTSs, and Vito's DTS. Big Pus-sy and Jackie Jr. had 90s Devilles. Tony and Chris had some Escalades. So much more class than Phil's hideous continental kitted Town Car or John's nouveau riche Maser.

You got lucky!

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

It really doesn’t for 95% of buyers, they’re fast sure but these aren’t sports cars

@@YouArentSlick why do you need rear wheel drive I have front wheel drive car and it seems good just want to know what's the difference

wave runner ..love the feel of going behind the drive wheels..

@@mkratos17 superior turning angle In a rwd cars is much better especially when it's a big luxury car.

How when they were American?

I see about 100 of them a day here in Florida.

In Italy this car was available, imported by but I've never seen it on the road, mainly due to the engine size, too big and heavily taxed ( car tax property here are paid based mainly to the engine size) and too expensive to maintain ( parts were difficult to find and the fuel here cost the equivalent of $6.6/gallon). That was a pity, because this car was very nice back in the days

@@gunnlover imported....you're able to buy Caddys overseas.

lol me too, looks better in that black but not as hoovie

Same here. My parents still drive their 1994 Seville and is a strong running car.

Still rocking my 97 ELDO and and even the Seville can be seen on the streets even today!!!

Ty Mac torque steer galore lmaoo dude you are killing me lmaoooo

first time i drove my buddys 99 sts i could not believe the torque...this was 15 years ago and no other front wheel drive car ive driven has even come close...to bad they never really fixed the head bolt problem cause i would buy one tommorow..

working shlub They did fix the issue, bolts were redesigned in 01 and they were solid afterwards. My old 99' had the upgraded bolts and was fine with 205k. My current 11' DTS is super reliable and just hit 205k last week and still runs, feels, cruises, smells and sounds like a Caddy should. Love these cars.

harryrez I have one, SUPER clean for a '92 runs like a champ! but I'm thinking of selling it 😔

GREAT CATCH! Prob had RATT in the cassette deck.

Kirk W They almost always had the radios tuned to Baltimore’s 98 Rock. 🤘

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.
