Cadillac is about the best of the bunch (GM), but it's still a GM.  The
Northstar is supposed to be one of the best V8s out there.  I would be more
worried about fit and finish.  I remember when the new Eldorados came out
with the Northstar.  Everyone oo'd and ah'd about the engine, and no-one
noticed how every Eldorado had water vapor in their tail lights after 2 or 3
months.  

 

What I'm getting at is pay more attention to other issues with the car than
the engine/tranny.  It will give you the least trouble.

Anyone familiar with the Cadillac SLS?

 

I am considering purchasing a 'cherry', low mileage car and have (very)
little knowledge of this model or Northstar V8 engine.

 

Sure seems to have its share of power...good thing!

 

I know there is a STS that has more of a 'sport' suspension, but this suites
me fine.

 

TIA
