The Eldorado's heating and air conditioning panel presents readouts for both interior and exterior ambient temperature. A toggle on the lower right allows the front passenger to select separate temperature settings. Rear-seat passengers get their own climate controls as well. Heated seats come on the ETC and they warm quickly, but we found even the lower of the two settings too hot for extended periods of time. They are at their best while waiting for the engine and heating system to warm up.
The power outside mirrors automatically turn downward when Reverse is selected, a helpful assist for parking this large car. There is a compass in the rearview mirror, and our test car was furnished with an optional overhead garage-door opener ($107).
Our Eldorado Touring Coupe's upholstery was gorgeous, glove-quality light-cream leather, and the power front seats adjusted twelve ways. Lateral support is average, but the four-way power lumbar adjustment is excellent.
For safety, dual second-generation airbags are standard up front. Next Page
