Review
Dad had to almost pay the dealership to take this car, so he gave it to me. I'm 30, two kids, so no payment vehicle is a plus, but to my surprise this is an amazing car. Down side is gas milage, and locks for the car seats. Upside, reliability, and I can still fix 90% of the problems cause everything isn't computerized like my 2003 Impala. Good ride, Nice features for a 1990. More so than my 2003 really. Good solid engine with massive power. A real good car.
Favorite Features
New stereo I put in it for my ipod connection.

Perfect. Drives great and does not want you to turn off the key. This car is so smooth and user friendly that you just don't want to ever stop driving. I have no plans for selling this 1990 Caddy. The four door and space available can not be traded for anything.
Favorite Features
The headlight system is the greatest. When you want to see what is out there, nothing compares to the Caddy.
Suggested Improvements
The only way to improve this car is to make a multi-disk cd player standard.

Review
I'd noticed the Devilles for a long time and really was attracted to the styling. It's a timeless design and my 1990 still looks very contemporary. The paint has held-up well and it still looks impressive. The car gets great gas mileage about 22mg total, and nearly 26mpg on the highway. The interior is comfortable, but dated-but it has a vintage feel, so I love it. The handling is amazing as far as the rear end refuses to budge, but it does tend to lean, body roll, in curves. All-in- all, this car was a great value-younger people (Im 38) don't want these cars, so you can get them with low miles and in great aesthetic shape. We call mine "Herman" and I hope he's got another 100,000 in him

Exterior styling-it still looks rich after all of these years. Gets good gas milage-don't let the size fool you. I love to be driven in this car. Also, it's just really comfortable.
Suggested Improvements
Well considering the car is 16 years old, I can't say much. Weak areas include the antiquated interior design (reminds me of my dad's 1970s Olds). But really, how can you complain? This is a great car-a design classic.
The limousine of Caddies.

Review
I bought this car from a " little old lady " after 4 years and 40,100 miles. I now have 218,000 miles on it and will drive it sparingly along with my 2002 DeVille. The car has flown way above any expectations that I could have possibly dreamed it would do. Reliability, design, performance, you name it....all have been tremendous. Some one mentioned the vinyl armrests- it's true. They started to crack a few years ago. The only downer , and a mild one, of an otherwise superb model. The best car I've ever owned and a true testament to the quality of Cadillac. I hope my "other" Caddy comes close to the same standards of the old '90.
Favorite Features
Looks, gas mileage
Suggested Improvements
Get rid of the vinyl.

Review
This is my wife's car. She loves her 90, the way it looks, handles, parks, and rides. When the cruise control quit I thought she would simply die. Otherwise, it has been trouble free. It now had 123,000 miles with no major repairs other than brakes and struts. s
Favorite Features
Very smooth ride on Michellin tires. Gets 20-22 mpg about 70 mph. Burns no oil. Minor leak on valve cover gaskets.
Suggested Improvements
The pump and connections between engine and rear struts auto-level system seem to have an unrepairable slow leak. It adjusts too frequently.
