Great during warranty period

My 1998 Cadillac DeVille has a powerful motor and a quiet, comfortable ride. It provided great performance and reliabillity during the 3yr/36,000 mile warranty period. Mechanically it seems to fall on it's face after that. This vehicle received fantastic new car ratings, but seems to lose it's resale value rapidly, now we know why. If you want long term reliabillity, buy a Honda.

I bought this car with 19000 miles on the car. I've owned this car since 1999, and its never given me any problems. I did replace the A/C a few years back. Nothing more serious than that. The gas mileage is great, and I would not hesitate driving this car coast to coast today. My car now has 119000 miles on it.

With today's technology, I don't understand why premium fuel is required when my previous Fleetwood Brougham 5.2 required low grade fuel. Today's premium gas is not cheap.

I love the power in this machine. This Caddy reminds me of the 1958 Oldsmobile, you can not hold it back it just wants to go. I am 69 years old and love the ride and the handling of it. I hope it last me the rest of my life.

Impressive ride for such a big car. Lots of power and stable ride really wins me over. Not so good on gas is the only real negative. Sound system is also very good and full of options.

Cadillac D'Elegance

Cadillac D'Elegance A luxurious and well built car. It drives and performs well. Mileage is not great, but better than one would expect for such a large car. Premium grade Fuel is required(a ault changed in newer models) which adds to the cost of fuel. Normal maintenance, oil changes, grease, brakes and tires is all that I have had to have done and my car has 73,000 miles.

My 1998 Cadillac DeVille is a tank, but it handles well. It gives me 22 mpg on the highway and the only repair that I have had to do is replace the water pump.

Excellent ride & handling. Seats could be a little softer. Fuel economy is quite good. Cabin is quiet even on windy days. Overall quality & workmanship is very good. This is my second Caddy, am very well pleased with it.

I thought about buying a Mercedes but the price was to high. Once I drove the Cadillac I was convience that this was the car that I prefered. The cadillac is a wonderful car to drive and I don't think that the Cadillac gets the credit it deserves. The interior is layed out for easy control and reach. The leather seats are comfortble and well made.
