Beautiful Machine
I love old Caddy's and Elvis because my dad loved old Caddy's and Elvis. Now they are obsessions. Just picture this, since my children refuse to, a black Caddy with black carriage roof, Gold Package, polished chrome wheels with gold Cadillac emblems, and Vogue Tyres. It don't get no better! George Jones, Pasty Cline, Conway Twitty, and Ray Price sound even better when I am cruising in that old car. The car is mobile art. An object of beauty and grace. Having said all that there are some real concerns. If you whisper "head gasket" I will break into a cold sweat. She is running Mobile 1 and I have no money for repairs. Windows are for looking out of, NOT rolling down. Nylon window components have a horrible reputation. The brakes don't always seem quite up to the task. The paint is flaking off of the radio and climate controls. It's the first thing I see when I get in the car and I cannot believe it. As much as I love Cadillac, GM went belly up for a reason. FWD doesn't make sense for this car. Too much weight up front and the turning radius is bigger than a cul-de-sac. The car actually feels downsized to me. Not nearly as much room as my 1993 Fleetwood Brougham and certainly nothing like my 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. I hate to see these cars disappear. Some of the new Cadillac's are four cylinder. They are shaped like beans and look like my wife's 1987 Accord. Play some Haggard. I need a drink.

My DTS
I believe these sedans are very underrated. I love my DTS! The only things I would change: I would make an AWD version and the front cup holder (when flipped out) blocks the shifter from shifting into 1st gear. Last week I drove a 2006 DTS, loaded to the hilt. I can actually say I like the interior of my 2004 much better than the 2006. I do like the changes outside for 2006 though.

Still the Best after 100 years
The ride quality of the Deville cannot be matched by any European maker. Lexus is in the ball park, but cannot give the overall comfort. Lexus still cannot build a comfortable back seat. Quality and service back up this world benchmark vehicle. How do they keep the price so reasonable? P.S. On a recent trip from Pittsburg to Sarasota my Deville got 30 mpg! I am thru with harsh riding, overpriced nameplates from Europe.
Outstanding Car
I bought this used, had 36,000 miles on it. First one I've owned. I am totally in love with this car. Very comfortable, excellent ride. I've had Audi's and a couple of Lexus' but I must say this car feels better and a lot more solid.
Classic American Big Car
It used to be that all big cars rode and handled like this - including Buicks and Mercurys. Now you have to spend $45K to get that feeling back - shame. Anyway - love my Caddy - a couple of reliability quirks including window and heated/cooled seat problems but they were all covered under the decent warranty. GM's OEM Brakes still stink too but that's easily improved once changed out. Exceptional comfort, safety, security and power are what this great family sedan is all about. Recommended.
