Best Caddy i ever owned

By Jack (NY) on Monday, February 25, 2013

"Alot of people complain about Caddy's... poor quality, costly to repair etc, etc... but I have to say this one from the word go has been a dream. Yes it now has the customary 110,000 mile oil leak every GM on the planet has, for those not used to the big V8s.. check the valve covers and your oil pan gasket, chances are its one or both of those, and if you have the time thier easy to fix. Other then the Oil leak, the car has never broken down one time, and the only trouble I have had with it was due to bad gas, which a tank of high test and a few hundred miles later did'nt even warrent a trip to the mechanic. As for comfort, and convenience, it has everything you could ask for, cup holders galor, rear ash trays and heated seats everywhere. Both the front seats are also cooled. I must say I would love to buy another one brand new, but sadly GM has stopped making the big boys."

Great car

By JD (MA) on Sunday, February 10, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 125,000

"I've been to three dealers and they all said I needed thousands of dollars worth of repairs at different points in time. To me nothing appeared to be wrong. I actually had a local shop check the left front hub ($600) and the water pump ($600)when I had 80K on the car. They couldn't find anything wrong. That was 45k miles ago and still no problem. Beware of any repairs recommend by the dealers."

Spoiled driver

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 60,000

Pros: "Engine power & handling"

Cons: "Battery under rear seat"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This auto handles like a dream. Corners precisely even at higher speeds. This car is "glued" to the pavement. The NorthStar performance is second to none. This engine has spunk. Gas mileage is averaging 19 city & 25 highway. Cadillac knows how to spoil its driver!!!Thanks GM!!"

I just am in love with it.

By Michael (AR) on Friday, October 26, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 134,000

Cons: "Can't think of any.....I love this car."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I've had this car for three years. Has 130,000 miles on it and I have had absolutely no problems with it. The Deville with the Northstar V8 has a somewhat bad reputation due to engine problems. In fact, if you do not maintain it properly you will have issues with it particulary overheating and head gaskets. Just make sure you always have the oil checked and keep the radiator full and you'll be OK. Otherwise, the looks and ride are incomparable. This really is a quality vehicle which has an undeserevably bad rap.Getting 32 mpg on hwy and 18 around town. Usually averages 24 mpg on regular gas. Cadillac wants you to put high test in it but not really necessary. Buy it! You'll like it!"
