Used 2002 Cadillac DeVille Consumer Reviews
Good Enough
I brought this car for the sole purposes of road trips. I must say this car fits that role perfectly. The inside is good enough for comfortability. The handling is good enough to handle the tightest curves. Gas Mileage could be better, but on the highway, good enough. When I brought this car, I wasn't looking for the god of all cars, but what I was looking for was a good comfortable ride. That is what I ended up with when I brought my Cadi. Treat the car good and it will treat you good. Should've got a Lexus. If you would have, you would have the same complaints.
A bittersweet experience
After having the worst experience of my life with Classic Cadillac which was only exceeded by Bill Green a manager at Cadillac Customer No Service who told me "I report to no one". To me the new DTS lacks some features that have been lost since my 92 Deville was built such as good quality working visors, seats that cradle the body and a more comfortable road ride. I also miss the exterior light monitors and the automatic pull down trunk. The $2K Onstar system which I did not order is a joke. The 92 feels considerably more responsive and powerful than the DTS. The DTS also seems to have less rear leg room and trunk space than my 92.

Oil fogger
After 15,000 miles, our new DTS began smoking like a chimney and using 4 quarts of oil in 3,000 miles. Our dealer tells us this is normal for a Cadillac. I think we made a $50,000 mistake.
First Caddy
Generally well pleased. Had one computer problem, but roadside (OnStar) was great & battery leakage, again roadside-(On-Star) was right on the ball, installed new battery, but this problem caused corosion under rear seat. Cadillac fixed this in one day.
Excellent ride
I have 48000 miles on my DTS in 2 years. Have had no problems, except for a broken lumbar switch on passenger seat. We have taken several long trips in the car, and it is ery comfortable and really performs. Absolutely love the Onstar system. It has been very helpful several times.
