Review

I bought this car from an auction and I love it. I have had no problems so far. This is my 3ed Cadillac, I had two Eldorados before this one, but I had many problems with the other two. Its performance is great and so is its handling. You have a lot of confidence behind the wheel. It is also a very nice looking car, the people who I worked with thought it was a Mercedes. I just laughed.

Favorite Features

I like the might vision and heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

Make it better fuel economy unless you have to compromise performance to get it. Overall you cant fix a great car.

Review

The DeVille is a good looking car and it is fun to drive. I have not had any major problsms with it yet.

Favorite Features

I like the heated seats and the automatic seat ajustment features.

Suggested Improvements

I don't like the fact that the sideview mirrors tilt down when the car is in reverse. You cannot see the cars coming at you.

Review

The trade-off between handling and comfort is excellent. For a large heavy car with a relatively powerful V8,the fuel ecomony is very good. I changed the front tie-rods and front engine mount after 60,000 miles. Also, the front seat warmers no longer work and the Northstar engine burns oil. Other than that, this is a great car.

Favorite Features

The automatic climate control works like none other I've had, its very efficient. I like the big trunk, comfortable seats, and how this car has power when you need it.

Suggested Improvements

Not much, other than the engine burning oil. Oh, the rainsense wipers don't always work the way you want them to, wich can be irritating at times.

Great ride with superior fuel economy. Last week I drove to Austin, TX from Houston, TX and returned. The highway speed was averging 60 mph, and the mpg was 29.

Favorite Features

Torque converter, absolutely fantastic.

Suggested Improvements

Web between the seat, invariably something gets dropped in the area and it is difficult to retrieve.

Review

Purchased my 2000 Cadillac DeVille with 2,000 miles on it. I had a Lincoln Town Car. The DeVille handles better and has better acceleration. It gets good gas mileage. the sun visor too low for tall people though. GM's engineers have changed this for 2001. I have not experienced any major problems with this car. The check engine light came on once. It was repaired with no problems at the dealer. The Cadillac DeVeille comes witrh a good warranty. The Northstar engine usees minimal oil every 2,000 - 3,000 miles. Just add a quart and keep driving. the front windshield had an airleak which made noise, but this was repaired by my dealer at 3,000 miles and is now OK. This car's windshield is known to be poorly sealed at factory.

Favorite Features

Sports handling, arm rest storage, trunk size. Interior room

Suggested Improvements

The sun visor needs to be improved, but this was done for the 2001 model year.

Review

Wonderful automobile! Reliable, comfortable, quiet, easy to maintain.A tie rod repair under warranty and new brakes after 60000 are only major repairs so far.

Favorite Features

Great excelleration, handles like a small car with the big car comfort and security. I love the look of it and all the special comforts such as heated seats, rear bumper sensor, rear window sun shield, etc. I feel safer than in most other cars.

Suggested Improvements

Stereo is not so great. Does burn more oil than any other car I've had. The lowness to the ground is kind of a problem, but I don't know how that could be different without altering it's superior handling.

Review

I love the car. The Northstar is worth it's weight in gold. This car gives you the same luxury of car 10000-30000 more. Regular gas, yes!!!. Comfort, oh hell yes!. The only thing I don't like is all the plastic and the fit and finish. Other than that, this car is off the chain!! Love daddy's caddy

Favorite Features

The Northstar engine. This block is on par with any in the automotive industry

Suggested Improvements

Remove some of that cheesy plastic...pay greater attention to detail.

Review

This vehicle performs very well in all driving conditions. The interior design, however, is not as roomy as previous models of the Deville. The car is very reliable, and has many comfort features. I have had a problem with the rear parking assist and the driver seat heater, both of which are warranty items.

Favorite Features

Driver memory features, and heated seats are nice. Also, the rear parking assist is convenient for parking.

Suggested Improvements

Allow the passenger seat to move farther backwards, so as not to cramp the passenger knees against the glove box door. OR, redesign the glove box.

Review

Good value for the money. Have enjoyed 4 years of use. Unfortunately it has had multiple electronic problems over it's lifetime: 2 crankshaft sensors replaced; driver's side heated seat cushion element replaced and still not working right; heater/ac dash control module had to be replaced. If Cadillac wants to play with the big boys (BMW,Mercedes,Lexus, Acura,etc.,) they HAVE to improve quality, otherwise they will always be following the pack. A car of this caliber should not be plagued with poor quality electronics that can have a real negative impact on its reputation. If the imports can do it well, why not Cadillac?

Favorite Features

Love the quiet ride and cabin/creature comforts. That's why I bought the car in the first place. If you want a super comfortable ride, this is the car for you. Also, the gas mileage/overall performance is quite astounding given the fact that the car is over 4k lbs.

Suggested Improvements

As noted above, better quality electronics. Get rid of the "rain sense" winshield wiper control...very erratic and uncontrolable. Also, the car could use a little more ground clearance in that it rides low enough to scrape the undercarriage on some driveway inclines.
