A car far ahead of its time with a top far behind
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.

A Driven 93 Allante
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.

The 1993 Allante is a world class automobile
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!
