My Caddy handles great on the road. It has better gas mileage than my previous Buick Regal. It is very roomy and glides on the bumps. I can accelerate and take the curves. I have made 2 long distance trips. Chicago to Atlanta and Chicago to New Orleans. It was comfortable. The New Orleans trip had 4 adult and one child. It was roomy.

Worst car I have ever owned. Leaks oil, transmission fluid. It is one repair after another. You fix one problem and then another problem happens. If you like to constantly fix your car then this is the car for you. Very nice car if you can keep it out of the repair shop and on the road. I finally have everything fixed and the car is running great. I love the car now but there was a lot of pain to get to this point. Great car once you get it going.

2005 Cadillac DeVille Limited

This car is a dream to drive. Even though I have only had it for 2 months, I have taken it on several trips out of town. The city mileage could use some help. The only complaint I have is with the poor design of the seatbelts. I am a short person (5'5") and I find that the seatbelt hits me across the neck. It is not adjustable, as it comes out of the top side of the seats. They work fine for my husband, but he is 6'4". In other cars we have owned, you had a slide feature to raise or lower the seatbelt. I have raised my seat, but that is not enough to help. This could be a safety issue if you are in an accident. Other than that I love my DeVille.

Incredible Comfort. 18 MPG (mostly city) Good stereo. All options imaginable. Dealership was very professional. Diamond Edition is very flashy (my wife likes that, she drives MB 500SL). Did I mention the incredible ride?

I've reviewed comments before buying one. It's true that the cruise control button can be pressed accidentally very easily. It's true that there is a slight whine from the engine, but it's tolerable. The whine becomes imperceptible after a while. After more than 12,000 miles, I have not experienced any problems. The ride is supremely quiet, and the seats are comfortable, although a bit on the firm side (I prefer the seats in my previous Lincoln Mark 8). Acceleration from stop is a bit slow (I used to own a 300ZX turbo), but at certain speeds the acceleration is good. Turning radius a bit wide, but it's a large car. During rainy days, I feel safe in the car. Lots of gadgets in the car.
