It's a 1987 Cadillac Cimarron review! In this week's episode of Regular Car Reviews, we'll go into why the Cadillac Cimarron has a reputation as the worst car ever made, and why it represents one of GM's biggest failures. The 1987 Cadillac Cimarron we're reviewing is an interesting piece of automotive history, so we'll go over all the details in classic RCR style, including getting behind the wheel and showing you what the driving experience is all about. Is this car really as bad as its reputation? Or could it be a surprise gem? Check out our review of the 1987 Cadillac Cimarron!

As someone who owned an 84 Cavalier, I can confirm that this is absolutely the same car with different badges and leather seats. GM seriously did not give a shit in the 80's, and then had the nerve to wonder how Toyota and Honda surpassed them in the 90's.

[@grantcrockett9547]

All through elementary and middle school, my best friend's grandmother "always wanted a Cadillac" but couldn't afford it. When her husband died, she finally bought her first Cadillac with the life-insurance money in 1984. I about fell off my chair laughing after you said "widows" as the first category for Cimarron buyers.

[@dragon2knight]

OMG! I remember my neighbor bringing home his new "Caddy Cimarron" and he was soooo proud.....but my sister had just bought a new Cavalier that looked suspiciously just like it, it was hilarious! It was so hard not to laugh every time we saw it...... Happy Belated Birthday Roman!

[@kobbetop]

That’s so funny. The same happened in the 00’s in Europe when Chevy rebadged south korean Daewoo’s as Chevrolets. Daewoo Evanda for example. I heard that some guy was proud to be driving his new ”american” car so he was quickly told the truth and for some reason he went all quiet…

[@vulpesinculta3238]

@@kobbetop Yeah, I remember when the Daewoo-Chevrolet thing happened. The first few times I saw a 'Chevrolet Matiz', I thought it was just a bunch of local Daewoo Matiz owners being cheeky and slapping a 'cool American' badge on their cars.

[@kobbetop]

@@vulpesinculta3238 it was doomed from day one. That Matiz was as bad as badge-engineering can get. And then after few years of making nothing but loss, Chevrolet pulled out of Europe. I heard Cadillac could be coming back. Maybe it’s time for a new Cimarron…

So, the second category?

[@LimitedTimeRoman]

Thank you! Soon, I'll be Cadillac Years Old.

[@RobDucharme]

When I saw this vid come up, I was like, "Yesssssss...." I knew this would be gold. I'm familiar with the reputation of this car through automotive folklore. Cadillac had a bad reputation in my family. My dad bought a used 1978 Fleetwood sometime in 1988, as he had just become a realtor and it was a good people mover for showing houses in style (kinda). It had a massive engine (it was the 425). Damn thing could nearly chirp tires on the highway. But it had seen a rough life by the time he got it, and it was as reliable as a politician. In 1990 he traded up to a 1988 Fleetwood. You'd think, "Well then, that would have been a quality and reliability boost eh?" Mmmmmm... no. By 1992 it had what was described as a floppy piston (that's my recollection as a kid). He took it to the local GM dealer. They said they'd take a look (it would take a few days). Meanwhile they gave him a Pontiac Firefly as a courtesy car, after they had originally agreed that if he bought this car, as a realtor he would need a mid-size sedan as a loaner for when he got oil changes or any work done. So that was strike one. His office was right down the road, so when they called him to say it was ready to go, he drove onto the lot and did what I probably would have done (he had already lost some trust with these guys), and check the tires. He had marked them to see if they even moved the car from where it was parked. It hadn't moved. Someone probably got in, started it, shrugged, and said it was fine. I kinda doubt they had handheld diagnostic devices back then. You generally had to pull the car into a bay and do it there. So into the service department he marched. Our neighbour, a Brit with the stereotypical name Mick, worked there. Super great guy. He only worked on foreign and exotics (I one got to sit in a 1976 Lotus Esprit that was parked in his driveway - that was rad). He saw my dad coming in hot and quickly exited stage left (I don't think he even worked there for much longer, mostly out of disgust). My dad chucked a wobbler and probably ruined the day of a few people. That became strikes two and three. Side story on the Firefly "courtesy" car: While stewing in the driver seat of that go-cart with doors, he drove to the Ford dealer. There was a 1992 Lincoln TownCar parked on the lot. It had 100 or so km's on it. Basically brand new given that some new cars on a lot will get test driven enough times to get to that point. Well, this wasn't that. It had been owned by an elderly guy who probably drove it to church a dozen times and then he up and passed away, so the car returned. This of course meant it had to sell at a discount, and my dad was there for it. The dealership, looking at his Firefly situation, offered to let him use the TownCar as his surrogate courtesy car (that's such a hilarious power move, by the way). He would buy that car shortly after. It became the car he owned the longest out of any car, and he had gone through many. I think he had it from 1992 until 2006 when he traded it for a 2005 TownCar. I don't normally write comments this friggin' long, but I thought it was a fun story to tell.

[@noobeenaut]

That's a cool story

[@DarkElfDiva]

I have a 1997 Town Car. Your dad made a good choice. Mine still runs as sweet as a nut.

[@MartinIsRunning]

Solid story. Thanks for sharing.

[@FabienTeulieres93]

Great story. Your dad did well springing for the Town Car. These are true workhorses.

[@vintagefancollector1436]

Amazing story, as a town car owner of 5 years, that’s a great decision. I began with a 2011, and now have a 2009. Rebuilt the 2012 from an accident and my friend drives it now. Has 252K on it currently.

[@RHTeebs]

My grandma had one of these. My grandpa bought it for her birthday back in '88. He passed in '92 from a heart attack. But, my grandma is 82, and still going. One time, when we were sitting in the garage, she told me how often she would take the car for a ride around the lake. Then, she walked over to her current car, (2015 Chevy Trax,) and she opened the trunk. She pulled out the last remaining thing from that old Cadillac: one of the floor mats. Now, she uses it as a trunk mat to put boxes of plants on top of, when she visits my grandfather's grave.

[@noobeenaut]

That's actually really wholesome

[@RHTeebs]

@@noobeenaut I thought so too. She really loved my grandfather.

[@2steaksandwiches665]

That’s beautiful actually. It’s amazing the little sentimental things that have no value to anybody else but have amazing value that to us. I had my grandfathers pocket watch and a very old revolver. They’re not for sale. When I touch them, I still feel his energy. Take good care of your grandmother. It’s hard when they’re gone.

[@Stressless2023]

Wow she sounds just like my grandma who has I think an '84 or '85 Cimarron that my grandad bought new for her sitting in her garage as I type. She's 97. I don't think the car has more than 30k miles on it. She stopped driving sometime in the early 90's. Probably is virtually worthless today and I don't think me or any family that visits has opened that garage in a decade or more. This video is probably going to make me drive over there tomorrow and take a look.

[@teddybar66]

That's awesome...

[@parkerdavis0260]

This intro hit so hard! Nailed how depressing the car was!

[@aca2983]

The late ones like this with a V-6 weren't terrible, and the suspension was firmed up a bit. I had a housemate in the mid 90's who had one and loved it. On the other hand, I had a h.s. friend who had a 1st or 2nd year model. Those had a very loose suspension, and a wheezy 1.8 4-cyl, made in Brazil I think. He had a lot of problems with it and it was very low on power.

[@gaydes1012]

I saw one of these in a junkyard and wanted to steal the Cadillac badge off the trunk but when I opened the trunk an angry raccoon was in there and it attacked me, I've never slammed a trunk faster in my life. happy belated birthday Roman!

[@johndong7524]

Suffice to say none of this ever happened, you sad attention seeker. You don't need to open the trunk to take off the bage and why would a wild forrest animal do in the closed trunk of the car? How did it get there in the first place? Do you really need attention this much to make up this pitiful excuse for a story? I pity you and people like you.

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

I think I found my dream car. It's the embodiment of mediocrity and haplessness, the kind of car that not even people were interested in scrapping during the Cash for Clunkers program.

[@KarltheBarl]

[@rhydianedwards3457]

Its amazing how different the same basic platform can be between markets. In the UK and Europe we got the J-Body as the Vauxhall Cavalier MK2 and the Opel Ascona C. We never got an outright "luxury" one (just a high trim Cavalier) but we did get the SRi which got 130bhp from a 2.0 four cylinder 8v unit (though the 1.6 and 1.8 models were much more popular). The later MK3 Cavalier/Vectra A got more rounded styling and both the 2.0 16v Red Top (150bhp) and a 2.5 V6 (170bhp).

[@DaddyDan77]

Moved to Gallup NM 20 years ago. Neighborhood I was in was built in the early 1950s and was the first development in the little city of 20,000. Next block over from my house was a Cimarron in chocolate brown with a tan lower body and windows too tinted to see what the interior color was. It had the aluminum wheels and proudly advertised the 3.0 V6 on it's trunk lid. It was sitting in front of a house where the residents remembered WWII as the event of their high school years. I lived there 4 years and patiently waited for it to come up for sale. It moved just enough to prove that it was driven but was so clean you could have set up computer chip manufacturing on the hood. Sadly I was never blessed by seeing a "for sale" sign on it.

[@w.e.s.]

My dad owned a tow company and I was born in 1992. My mom had 1 of these till I was about 3. It was free and almost new bc somebody got it impounded and my mom took it. She put a z24 body kit on it over time and never had a license till she was in her 40s but still drove everyday. She finally got a ticket and had to get her license after being pulled over bc the muffler fell off. She traded it for a ASTRO van

Once Cadillac axed the Cimarron in 1988, they did the same thing again in the late 90s and early 2000s with the Catera, which was basically a rebadged Opel. That was another Cadillac that tanked and flopped as well.

[@SA-zoom1]

When I was a kid in the 80s one of my mom’s friends had a Cimarron with a manual… My mom had the Audi 5000!! Not much better!! I don’t remember hearing my mother’s friend complaining about the Cimarron.. However my mom had many little issues with her Audi 5000…. My parents traded the Audi for a 1991 Acura Legend.. They were so happy with the Acura!!! Problem free. To this day they still only buy Honda products. ( side note) my parents had a 1984 Volvo 760.. they actually kept it for many years after the Audi came and went, it was my first car to drive in high school… way better car than the Audi, but probably not as reliable as the Acura. I honestly just always get a Honda…

I was browsing around a Cadillac dealership on a Sunday afternoon in the early 90's when a car pulled in and a couple of cute, blonde cheerleader types got out and walked over to a used pinkish metalic Cimarron with white leather. I didn't hear all that was discussed, but one ended with, "AND it's a Cadillac". I guess "Cadillac" still resonated with her and that dad was probably going to purchase it for her. I think it might have made a good car for a high school cheerleader at that time.

It was a private Catholic High School and most people except for me and a few others were pretty wealthy. Everyone was getting new cars for their 16th. At first I was pretty ashamed about driving a 66 Jeep CJ5, but you know what? Who do you think picked up more women? The Jeep with the top off or the thinly disguised Chevy? I even held my own against the guy who drove the XJ12, the dude with the DeLorean, or even the jerk with the 63 Stingray.

Another prime example of GM's core motto; The poor execution of great ideas. This could have been a hit if GM did it correctly. Upgrade the suspension, some additional oomph under the hood, added sound insulation, and GM could have had a hit. But it just slapped the Cadillac logo on a basic Cavalier, and called it a day.
