ScottP Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Favorite feature: what happens during WOT. The rush of acceleration, the muted roar of the NS winding up to redline....can't get enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupillac Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Im only 19 so it feels great when people check out the caddy as I cruise by, then knock it down to 2nd and let the exhaust growl.

theGman Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 The Cadillac aura. Everything else is available on other models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuc Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 The rush I get from embarassing 'ricers' on the open road with no one else around is probably what I like best. Nothin' better than leaving a civic in the dust at 120mph. Thats Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dasher Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 No question for me - it's the heated seats!. I've been known to leave the barn for the 11 mile ride home after working horses to put the heated seats on while running the air conditioning! Feels good on this 75 year old back. I know, I know. At this age I shouldn't be working show horses; but life long habits die hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caddyman Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Well, on the 85, the dimming sentinel..when it worked..automatically dimmed the headlampos when cars came up on you... yea fender signial lights, as well as the rea indicators (atop the rear window) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 yea fender signial lights, as well as the rea indicators (atop the rear window) Man, that stuff is OLD SCHOOL! I had an '84 Cutlass that I wished had the fiber optic light indicators on the fenders...and the "snake eyes" above the rear window. For the 1980s, that was cool stuff! One of my buddies used to have an older Bronco II and it had a small picture on the dashboard that looked like the top view of the truck, with a small LED at each corner. You could push a "test" button and if the LEDs lit up, that meant the lights were working in that corner. Technology!

TDK Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Many, many fine choices. For me its the traction control. Of course, this feature would not be possible without a very sophisticated sensor, computer and control system - or required with a lesser powerplant. I don't think Caddy would have been too successful in putting 275 to 300 hp on the front wheels, right now - without it! It seems to engage a lot on ice, snow, mud, gravel and even pavement. How do it know? Just kidding, it really does know and I'm glad for it. Coupled with enough power to drive out of most "situations" it has kept me from going in the ditch more than a few times. Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushinthelac Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 The whole computer system is a plus also, telling you the oil life and other stuff that is much needed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Of course there are too many useful features to exclusively say one is the best, I really like the automatic climate control. No messing with long throw levers to change temperature or outlet flows, just a few buttons. The Cadillacs system is better than all others that I have had the opportunity to try. It is extremely refined. --Flyer '99 'Vert 'Vette 45k '97 SLS 55k Deceased: <'68 Mustang 200+k>, <'86 GMC S-10 180+k>, <'86 VW GTI 180+k>, <'86 Seville 195+k>, <'93 Seville 175+k> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
