I own a 2003 Cadillac Seville SLS and I absolutely love it. I bought the car under factory warranty back in March 2006. I still have the car and while the car was under warranty I had the passenger side power mirror fixed, a water pump seal, and a Stabilitrak sensor fixed. Other than that the car has had no issues. The warranty expired in March 2007. A few people pressured me to get the extended warranty and others said by the time you spend the money for the warranty you might have that money in one or two problem fixes anyway. To get the warranty would have cost around $2500 to add 15,000 miles and another year, which is rediculous. I now have 46,000 miles on the car and no issues yet. I usually visit www.cadillacforums.com and read up on my car to see what problems people say they have and what they do to prevent the head gasket and water pump problems. Then again, on the same website, you will read stories of Northstars making 300,000 miles without any problems, due to regularly changing coolant and performing regulars WOTs, to get the carbon out and setting the piston rings.
As far as the ride and handling, I love the car. The car floats down the road with no squeaks, rattles, or shaking. I think the car is extremely solid and well built.
The car has many features, which may or may not be a good thing for electrical purposes. The car is front wheel drive (great for Michigan winters) and doesn't require premium fuel like more other luxury cars. I love my memory seats, tilt/telescoping wheel, up/down express windows, and most of all the looks of the car. There is not many around my area, and I always get compliments. I plan on keeping this car a long time.
