"my first Cadallac, im hooked, great car"
"well built car with comfort in mind, easy to drive, auto- adjusting every option at the touch of a finger, Bose stereo/with surround sound, just a sharp looking car. now for the bad news, the power window motors are from what im told are defect, they have little plastic gears that when exposed to extreme cold or prolonged cold like months of winter they will crack/break and not function, Iv had 2 replaced since iv owned the car, which brings me to the other issue costly to replace/repair parts. But im satisfied with the car over all and would buy again."
