1993 Cadillac Allante consumer reviews

A 1993. Bought at end of 2019 w/112k for a good price. Car was in good shape, i.e. no head gasket issues minor oil leaks. After flushing the cooling system changing the belts & hoses & fluids, I drove it for the next 2years without issue. Last year (at 126K) new rad., coolant cross-over and water pump. Now it runs perfectly. Issues: Complicated top that needs a specialist to adjust to work easily. Now have 131k. Positives: stunning to look at (head-turner), fast for an early 90's car (0-60, 6.2, 1/4 mile 14.8 and a Cadillac claimed 241kph top), very nice interior for the time. A hybrid (Italo-American) at a very nice price.

I purchased my 93 in 2001, with approx 65K , I travelled and used for pleasure trips, and vacations. Mechanically It has preformed well. I have ha several Electronic issues, Raido system drain of battery, window switches being cleaned and reinstalled, top power latches, both rear and front failures,( Never Close To Home) The seat stitching has come loose on a few seems, but most interior parts are still nice. This vehicle has been garage kept most of its life, exterior is still nice. I have doubled the mileage in past 20 years, but rarely drive anymore.

I am a silver haired car buff (former traveling salesman) who has owned many Cadillacs over the years from De'villes to Broughams to Eldorados. I now drive a 1993 Allante and it is not only the finest automobile I have ever owned it is the finest Automobile I have ever driven. It is comfortable, punchy, sturdy and a real kick in the head to drive. Aside from all this, the car is extremely reliable. I have driven in summer bumper to bumper city traffic and have been on highway road trips in my Allante and never had any breakdowns or problems. The Northstar is a remarkable engine with plenty of horsepower and torque. All the scrabble-talk about head gasket issues is irrelevant if you simply keep coolant in the blessed radiator. It's real simple! If you are foolish enough to over-heat the Allante turn off the engine immediately and let it cool down. Yes, you can have head gasket problems if you let the car get too hot, so be responsible, check your gage, keep the coolant topped off, don't over heat the engine and you will have one of the finest performance engines ever made. The Allante with the Northstar engine is a masterpiece roadster. Many Cadillac techs agree with me and swear by the 1993 Allante. This is a world class automobile!

Absolutely love my allante! Very powerful for an almost 30 year old car, it keeps up with the new stuff. It’s a very stylish car and one of the rare convertibles anyone can drive and look like a movie star.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO OWNTHIS CAR, BUT COULDN'T AFFORD IT WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. I'M A BIT OF A CAR LOVER, AND THIS ONE IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. ONLY SELLING IT NOW AS I'VE BECOME A SNOWBIRD AND I CAN'T DRIVE ALL MY CARS. KEPT GARAGED AND WELL MAINTAINED. NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENT AND FOR A 93 IT HAS UNDER 57,000 MILES.

My Allante was quick, good looking and great riding. I had so many people compliment me on its looks than any car I've ever owned. I had a 90 and 93. I loved them both.

This only lasted me 300 miles, since the Northstar V-8 is very, very unreliable, not to mention the transmission blew after a month's use. (I don't drive often) Would not recommend unless you want a piece of American history, or to go to a demolition derby.

I have owned 4 different Allante’s and loved each of them only a little over 22,000 made from 1987-1993. Bodies were manufactured in Italy and ship to US by 747’s for final assembly

not enough cash to keep auto fixed had it so long went to antique tags only good about it was no inspections it probably would not pass after a while U would think G. M . might change the brake system VERY POOR AUTO FOR EXPENSIVE PRICE TAG

Actually I really 'love' this vehicle, and am looking forward to owning one, as my one, and only, everyday car.
