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?

Northstar oil use

For every one that posted a note about oil consumption, a quart or so every 2000 miles or so is somewhat normal. Excessive consumption can also be related to piston rings being stuck due to "babying" the engine. One relatively easy solution is to find a clear stretch of road, place the car in second gear and accelerate quickly up to ~ 70 mph, then coast down to 40 mph (no braking!). Do this 3 -4 times. It will help keep the piston rings floating free and seated against the cylinder walls, reducing oil consumption. Dealers and knowledgeable mechanics can also perform a chemical cleaning.

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.

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.
