Very nice and comfortable car

I'm 19 and this is my third Cadillac I have 2 2003 models and a1999 model very nice stylish and classy car wouldn't trade it for Benz,Lexus. They do cost a lot to repair but hey it's a Cadillac it's not a honda.

Deville at 98,000

This is the best riding car I have ever had. I bought it before having back surgery. Unfortunately it has the common oil leak between the bottom and top half that the dealer and an independent said would cost $3300 to fix. Both said just add oil and buy a drip pan to keep your garage floor clean. Dealer said they have seen many that leak, but only fixed one. I smell burning oil after driving for 10+ miles. I switched back to conventional high mileage oil and it helped a little.

Expensive Repairs

Overheating and head gasket failure are a common problem on the northstar engine, and to repair it the right way will cost $4,000. I dread anything going wrong with this car I know it will cost two or three times the amount to repair than a chevy or ford. On the bright side, they are comfy, strong running machines but the cost of repairs does not justify the luxury. Gonna trade mine in, if the head gasket doesnt go before then!

Best, & most Reliable, car I have ever owned

I have had seven cadillacs in 50 years, as well as Lincoln Towncars, Fords, and several other makes of cars. Cadillac has been my overall favorite in every respect, especially comfort and reliability. I will never own another car, other than Cadillac.

NO NORTHSTARS!!!

This engine has an inordinate amount of head gasket failures.Even the dealerships will not replace them because of engineering problems.They tell you to repace the engine instead.This problem has caused a lot of grief,even to those of us who love Cadillacs.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

This has got to be one of the best cars I've ever bought. I love everything about it: very comfortable, beautiful exterior and interior design and styling, awesome performance, great value for the money I spent on it, and extremely reliable. I was totally pleased and very pleasantly surprised how it handled in the rain and snow. I would highly recommend this car to all my friends and family. It handles very smooth both in the city and on the highway, and gets a very decent MPG's for a V-8. So, overall, I am completely satisfied with my Cadillac DeVille and will surely by another Cadillac in a few years. '

Its like driving a leather couch

Most Comfortable, smooth vehicle I have ever owned. Little or no road noise, smooth powerful engine, tranny. Fast and not bad on gas considering the size and weight.

best car on the road today

I'v had many cadillacs and this on is the best so far. It gets 20 mpg in town ,27.6 mpg at 75 mph and 34mpg at 55mph, all with 275 rubber burning hp. Quiet and rides like my living room couch, and it is gorgeous

Dream Ride

My deville is still a dream to drive it now as when I first bought it 8 yrs ago. My baby has 91,000 mi on it, its been very durable and reliable, its always started. It is the last deville that has the classic and elegant American styling, newer devilles are too European looking. I dread the day I have to trade it in. Thereare way too many pros to list in here, only two minor cons-the stereo is kinda cheap sounding for a $40,000 car and it needs premium unleaded to run smooth.

THE CAR TO OWN!

I will make this short and Sweet. If you have a 1999 Deville make sure you keep it. If you don't have one and are considering a good second car for the road, then this is it. My 99 makes my 6th Cadillac, and so far, the best. Great ride which is what we all want anyway and the big body makes you feel like you are in a Cadillac from days past. If you travel, the 99 Deville has good trunk space and plenty of room in the back seat. It is truly the perfect road car that makes you safe and do it all while in Cadillac comfort. Again, Simply the car to own!
