Not so good review
Knocking in engine, at times very loud. Had to decarbon engine at 11000 miles. The problem has reoccured. Uses 3 quarts of oil every 2000 miles. Dealer said this is about normal???? I have owned quite a few Cads, never had this engine problem. I feel dealer has not addressed this problem in a serious manner. Other than that the car is fine.
Most Excellent Large Luxury Sedan
Just a fabulous vehicle for anyone looking to buy a large luxury sedan with lots of power, room, performance, and exceptional quality/reliability.

my Deville
This car is one of the best I`ve ever owned,.Just a great ride on the interstate or going to the market, very comfortable. I have had no issuses with it and it looks great.I have turned it into a show car and have won a ton of trophies, from best in class to Veteran`s choice. Just a little work and sense of what the car can be or do is the best you can do.So yes I recimmend this 01 Cadillac higghly.

Build quality
I purchased this vehicle with 51,000 miles. It is a beautiful fun to drive car. However, this car has many repair problems, i.e., oil leaks, steering problems, I have had many sensors replaced, both front hubs, both cv joints, water pump,a/c compressor and too many other repairs to mentions. I feel a vehicle with only 90000 miles should not have had that many repairs. I have a 93 Honda Accord with 220,000 miles and I can count the repairs I have made on it.
love my car
I purchased my Cadillac DeVille new in 2001 & have enjoyed every one of the 105,000 miles. My mothers wheelchair fits perfectly in my trunk & she enjoys going for rides. She is 96 yrs. old I have told her, I will keep the car as long as she's living, so she can enjoy it along with me. However, seems as though she may out live the car! LOL!!! She was with me when it turned over 100,000 miles. I told her I wanted her to be with me when it did, and she was!!!

17 trips to the service department later
this car has been a nightmare since the first trip to the service department (exactly one day after i took delivery). since then it has been back no fewer than 16 more times in two years. 3 computer chips, 2 window switches, 2 recalls, 1 engine clunking noise, 1 sets of brakes, 1 power seat motor, 1 alternator, 1 climate control issue, etc... the only reason i still have this car is that it is worth nothing on trade. nearly $50,000 new and they tell me it is worth barely more than $20,000 now. I tried to buy american luxury, now i see if you want quality, you have to go japanese or german. sorry, detroit!
The comfort car of the year
This car is by far the most comfortable riding vehicle I have been in. I'm a 6'3" 200+ lbs guy and have always been uncomfortable in a car, especially in the backseat. After buying a Deville and driving it 14 hours to my house, then riding for 2 hours in the backseat, I'm convinced this is the only way to travel. The car seperates you from the harsh commuter environment and is a pleasure to drive.
american, and it shows
I drove all the lux cars out there, I even owned a rolls. Dollar for dollar you simply cannot, I repeat, cannot buy a better vehicle than the Cad. My dts has every option offered. A true lux car. fun to drive, great mileage, and it AMERICAN. I cant be happier. KRL
Most Unreliable Car I've Owned
I bought this car two years ago with 69,000 miles and drive it enough to use one gas tank a week. It's looks/comfort are up there with Mercedes, but I have owned many different cars and this car is by far the most unreliable car I've ever owned. In the past year I have had all the window motors/regulators replaced, one engine mount was cracked in half, all new brake pads a few months ago and now they squeak all the time. The dealership said it is a common problem though even though there is life left on the pads. The tire pressure sensors are all broken, the transmission fluid sensor is broken, coolant sensor is broken, and the heated front drivers seat is broken...HONDA HERE I COME!
Best cars ive owned
My dad just bought me this car it is very pretty i love it best car ive driven. The performance of this car is amazing for a car that weighs almost 5000 pounds it can beat any car off the line and in a race. All of my cadillacs have made it to 200000 miles without any problems. When you buy cadillacs look for the R sticker under the hood if it has that then it weill last you as long as you want. The girls also love it. I raced my friend who had a 2008 infiniti m35x and he was amazed at how fast this car is. It is so comfortable but at the same time fun to drive. no japanese car can match this car. I love cadillacs and will own one for as long as i live you really need to buy and own one.
