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.

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!

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.
