GM Quality?

I've had my 2000 DeVille for 2 1/2 years, and it's a fine car when it is not in for repairs. Unfortunately, it spends too much time in the shop, mostly for problems related to initial construction and component failure - not dealer service & support. I've been stranded twice ... ONSTAR doesn't work when you have electrical problems .... but it's fun riding 100 miles in a tow truck with a "good 'ol boy". I'm not sure I can afford this car after the warranty runs out.

I have a 2002 DTS, its a solid performer. Easily the best american car made. A lot of features for the money when compared to foreign cars. I would buy this car again.

The DTS has enough power to move this large vehicle. In my garage it is as long as my Navigator SUV. This car handles very nice and rides great. Clients love the room in the back seat.

This is a nice car however being the most expensive American luxury car(DHS) on the road it needs to be improved. There is still too much road noise,vibration and harshness entering the passenger compartment at normal freeway speeds. Too much harshness from road bumps in the passenger compartment. This car is an improvement since the 2000 model but still not enough!

My last 3 vehicles were Lincoln Town Cars and I thought they were the best riding vehicles around until I got my Cadillac DeVille and it beats the Lincolns, hands down. The on-star system is awesome. I will be driving this vehicle for a very long time!

I was dissapointed when I had three recalls in the first six months of ownership. A 50,000 dollar car should be in better new car shape.

I was sure I would never buy another Cadi, the Catera was my only bad experience with GM. I drove, and bought a DEVILLE and words could not describe the difference. You have to try it to love it!

Everything about this car is grand, down to evey little elaborate detail! The interior is remarkable with the look alike wood trim and the the large comfortable leather seats. The outside is unbelievablely captivating with the ravishing lights and large trunk. The engine is so powerful and I just love the digital speedometer. I love the Cadillac DeVille in every way.

Hi: Only drove the car 3000 miles and the new york streets are trying hard to age the car quickly. I think that you get alot for your mony and would recommend this car to anyone who prefers a large solid feel car (definitly over the town car) but wish the fit and finish were better.

Best Car Ever

I've always liked caddy's, and this one is no exception. Can't believe how nice it still is and love the 275 hp engine. Everybody talks about how pretty it is. I like the vinyl top a lot also. Its the best car I've ever owned and definitely the most luxurious. I even like it better than my infiniti. In my opinion I bought the car from a car lot ran by crooks, they did not disclose things about the car I should have known before purchasing, and had to have a couple parts replaced. Still have a few more to go but at the end of the day I still really like this car more than any other. The best I test drove. My dream is to own a house and a dts platinum off the show room floor.

This is my third Cadillac and by far the best. Gas mileage could be better but hey it's a caddy. The ride is just what you would expect. I have not had a problem with the car in six months of ownership. If you are looking for a good family car, look no further than the 2003 deville. when you push on the gas this baby will get it. I was truly surprised, howbeit at four dollars a gallon I don't get on the gas to often. This is truly a highway car, but it's pretty cool for tooling around town as well. I've learned that the ladies love its style. Buy it!

Gas Crunch? Luxury and Economical Ride

I bought this Cadillac a few months ago. My fear was that it was a gas guzzler as I've owned Cadillac's since the 80's. Much to my surprise, I got 27 mpg on the highway commuting to and from work. I love the car, it's comfort and options. This car is second to none for affordability, reliability and overall fun driving. It's not Grandpa's Cadillac anymore.

Cadillac Deville

I been a Lincoln owner for over twenty years and finally bought a Cadillac. So far the ride and fuel economy and comfort is about the best you can get in a full size luxury car. I am disappointed in the quailty workmanship cheap plastic on dash and cheap looking leather for the seats and rattles never had nothing like that with the Lincolns I owned. Only had it a month now and no problems yet so can't speak on reliability hopefully it will be better then the others I have heard about. Its strickly a highway cruiser you don't hear the rattles. It handles poorly even for a luxury car it should handle better but i spend all my time with it on the highway so I am happy with the car so far.

I was in need of a different vehicle and have not bought a new car since 1976. I have only bought used, due to the high cost reduction immediately after purchase of a new vehicle. Having had two previous positive Cadillac used purchases in the past, I was only beginning a search for a different vehicle. The quality of the Cadillac, as well as the established and professional dealer, were only enhanced by the 0% interest, and I was able to select the car I did for that reason. I now remember why I had two previous Cadillacs. There really is no comparison in quality and style. I feel lucky I ended my search early.
