I love how the only thing clarkson praised was the engine, and after all theese years the engine turned out to be it biggest weakness. :D

Anyone else love the sound of the Northstar? I honestly think it sounds fantastic!

Legend has it, this is going to be in china for the Grand Tour

This was a good car, we never had problems with it and drove it 304.000 KM in Germany. This was an enjoyable car. It made less trouble than the BMW we had later!

I have owned STS for six years and it was a pleasure. Also the best winter car I have ever owned. With winter tires runs nicely on snow and ice and cold starts at - 18 ! Jeremy HAS never liked any US cars.

R17CAD is still on the road as of March 2020

Mr. Clarkson made the mistake of believing GM marketing hype. Big mistake. The Northstar could have been a good engine, but it was made by GM.  Actually it never needed servicing, just replacing.

My dad had one of these and loved it, looking for another as we speak

Had mine for 3 years loved every minute of it 2001 sls

I got an 07 STS cadillac basically fixed all the problems Jeremy listed in this video, what a great car.

Drove my friends 2002 STS through the Rockies when I was in Canada in '07. The Northstar is a true masterpiece of a engine,  the brakes however created quite a few 'code brown' moments!

I've owned a '99 Seville STS and currently own a '03 Seville SLS and couldn't be happier.   The 99 took me 150k without issues and just got the 03 with 56k.

This car is still on the road nearly 20 years later with only 23k miles on the clock.

well worth watching to the end!

The north star system has electronic transmission if he would have given the transmission the signals that it requires to go into a sport mode it would have pinned him to the seat. The car has an adaptive memory it remembers how you like to drive it takes time to get acclimated to each driver. This Jeremy fella is doesn't know the first thing of American car.

For Americans, when Jeremy says a jacket potato at 4:48: A jacket potato is a baked potato

One must see this to realize just how much Top Gear has improved ...

The front wheels...... THE WRONG WHEELS

best cars every i don't care what issues it had I love them I  been buying them since 1999 dts sts and I'm only 37 I love these cars and have a eldorado etc as well

If you can find an SLS, you’ll only ever have to worry about head gaskets.  
If you get an STS, you have to worry about replacing more expensive magnetic ride control struts and springs on top of worrying about blowing a head gasket
