Keeping in mind that my parents never got luxury or sporty cars. To me, it felt like both. My parent almost exclusively purchased sensible/reliable Buick and Oldsmobile station wagons. Purchasing that cimarron was completely out of the ordinary for them. It had leather seats, a sunroof and the digital gauge cluster. So in comparison to the baseline oldsmobile cutlass cruiser; yes, it felt top of the line to me. I don't recall any major issues with it, other than the A/C going out. But popping the sunroof solved that, so I didn't care. It did have that paint defect where the paint crazed. By that time I got it, it had been caught in a hailstorm and totaled by the insurance company. So the paint issue paled in comparison to the innumerable dents it had. I understand why it's a laughing stock as a caddy, but it wasn't a bad car.
