But I do agree with him that the 3800 did and has improved over time... But being that it fires every 60* on a 90* bank, it causes some vibration...
The 90* N*, and the 60* Chevy Power plants do not have this issue... So the N* will be a naturally balanced engine like the 60* Chevy... This makes the Caddy engine very smooth
And a cylinder is fired upon every 45*, as compared to the Chevy V6'* 60* firing pattern... The fewer degrees you have between firing pattern the smoother the engine will run..
Every N* I have driven has been ultra smooth, and the Trans as we all know is very strong

The Northstar is a great drivetrain. Very reliable and no problems. Id like it best in a STS Seville flavor.
The car you test drove probably had some issues with it if it behaved the way you said it did.

I have yet the pleasure to be given by driving one of the newer SSEi'* or the GXP'*. 
One day...one day...lol
And kinda off subject, some dude in a GP GTX spotted me and wanted me to play on the freeway, but I had other things to do. What the hell is a GP GTX, looked very similar to a GTP in body and stance, but instead of the horizontal wing we all know, it was flipped up, kinda like the monty'* rear deck wing. I saw it and was baffled??? :? Looked sharp, though, white, well taken care of.

naw northstars are plenty smooth.
Just the question of what kindof power you want. I just hope CVTs don't take over the industry. Some people LIKE shift shock!. But thats a whole nother thing. I say either keep looking or get the dealer to fix the problem before you buy.

And after working on them, this is the reason I wouldn't have one... I know that sounds bad... But I would not own one
