This is my 3rd new Cadillac and although I love it, it is not a quality car. It will use a quart of oil every 1500 miles. I have replaced steering rack, steering shaft, left and right hub, water pump, motor mount, water pump cover, lower crank case sensor, all 4 rotors.

I traded in a 1996 DeVille for my 2001, so I use the 96 as my basis for comparison. I do miss the land yacht that was the 96. The 2001 has less elbow room than the 96. The two inches lost in width makes a big difference in the interior. OK, enough complaining. Once on the road, I find that the 2001 rides great! The tighter chassis set up gives the car a much more sporty feel. My gas mileage is still improving. (about 20 mpg overall)! Very Happy with the car.

This is truly my first Cadillac and I'm in love with it.In fact I want to drive it all the time.For a car it's size,it has an incredible smoothness and a very quiet engine.Not to mention the speed. It can kick like a sports car effortless.You talk about comfort,there is nothing like it.The high tech features are awesome with very easy controls.I'm amazed at how spacious it is-leg and trunk room.I get lots of compliments about the style which is eye catching.A very classy car with style and elegance.I can go on and on because its'a great car.

My dad bought me this Cadillac DeVille last year as my first car. I had wanted one since I was 6 years old. we bought the car and the very next day a radiator fan motor bearing went out, it cost almost $700 dollars to fix. since then I have heard popping sounds in the steering and it has stalled twice. the car has 44000 miles on it. I would still recommend buying a car like this, because the comfort and looks outweigh the problems. Its a great car

Catalytic converter

This car is a nightmare. Since I owned it from 2001 I have replace cat converter and now replacing a third one broke down in ct had to find a dealer to be towed to broke down in NH and had to find a dealer to be towed to. First one I was near a dealer in ma. I have to keep checking the oil because it uses a lot. Dealer said this is "normal" I have a 1995 Cadillac and it runs real smooth. Do not think I will buy another Cadillac. Maybe go to the foreign car even though I said "never". Goodbye to Detroit.
