1996 Cadillac Seville STS

Classic Car Addict is proud to present this one owner 36,000-mile 1996 Cadillac Seville STS for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. The American motoring press rarely speaks with one voice, but the Cadillac NorthStar System–heart of the Seville sedan and Eldorado coupe–is one area of U.S. automotive technology that's generated uniformly high marks since its introduction in 1992. Although power is a key ingredient, the NorthStar System is more than just the potent 4.6-liter dual overhead cam 32-valve V8 engine that drives the front wheels of the Seville and Eldorado. Virtually every other vehicle system is integrated as well. Engine and transmission controls are computer coordinated, giving the standard 4-speed 4T80-E automatic exceptional shift quality to go with the car's blazing acceleration. Start with looks. This crisply formed car stands out in a broad-shouldered, crisp manner that’s elegant and sporty at the same time. With its deep white diamond paint and sparkling chrome wheels, it’s clearly distinguished in a sea of bland black blobs that pass themselves off as luxury cars. The only little issue with this STS is there is a scratch on the passenger side hood, no other scratches or dents can be seen throughout. Cadillac said the philosophy of "hands on the wheel, eyes on the road" was the motivating force behind many of the interior changes. The most obvious example: Controls for the computerized Driver Information Center display (fuel economy, engine data, and so on) and ventilation system no longer flank the gauges, making room for a new, more legible instrument cluster. By moving some controls to the center console, space was freed up to make the speedometer, tachometer, and other gauges larger and easier to read. Door-mounted controls for windows, locks and mirrors have a more ergonomic feel this year. There are steering wheel-mounted paddles for the stereo and climate control. Of course, a Cadillac must pamper, and the STS does. The heated leather seats are rich and supportive, proving very comfortable. Automatic headlights are back this year, joined by a new Caddy feature, Rainsense. A module located behind the rearview mirror sends out a laser beam. This infrared beam counts the raindrops as they fall and activates the windshield wipers for you at the appropriate speed. This car is too sweet to allow anyone else behind the wheel. From its powerful drive train to its athletic looks, the STS has tons of character. The STS' best feature-its 4.6-liter DOHC NorthStar V-8-receives a faster, more powerful powertrain control module, 100,000-mile-rated engine coolant, and improved fuel injectors. The muscle is put down through a four-wheel, independent suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars. Additionally, Cadillac has fitted the STS with road-sensing suspension, which reads the inputs from the steering wheel and adjusts the damping at all four corners, as well as adjusting brake modulation and cornering traction. The results of all this computerization are a firm but well-controlled ride. Cadillac Seville STS standard: 4.6-liter V-8, four-speed automatic transmission, speed-sensitive steering, Goodyear Z-rated tires, anti-lock brakes, keyless entry, Twilight Sentinel, power trunk pulldown, cellular telephone wiring, leather seats, electronic climate control, full console with cupholders, power seats, AM/FM-cassette.
