Beautiful car. It?s a dream to ride in.

Beautiful car. It?s a dream to ride in. The thing we liked best about this car is the front bench style seat. They are so hard to find and they are so roomie. A car with a console just eats up all sorts of space. This car is just as spacious as you can get!

Luxury, power and reliability!

Plenty of room inside. Ultra smooth ride. Powerful engine yet good on gas. Drove this car for many years and its never let me down. Any repairs have been regular maintenance types that had nothing to do with how it runs...tires, tire pressure sensors, wiper blades....nothing major.

NorthStar Problems

I love Cadillac's, I have owned 5 of them. However, this one was a bad one and it was because of the NorthStar engine. As is the case with some of these engines, I had to replace the head gasket at a staggering $2625. It wasn't the only problem I had with this car, but it was the biggest. It was a nice car to look at, very sharp, the interior was confortable, but all in all I was very disappointed with the car. I am not saying this is the case for all Cadillac's with the NorthStar engine, but I would be very wary of buyin g another one with this engine in it.

Very reliable

This car met all of my needs. It has plenty of room for my legs in the front and back and drives very smoothly. I like the 3 USB ports.

Excellent Luxury Vehicle

This is a great car. It feels like you?re floating when you are driving it. I have the Luxury ii Package and the extra options are amazing. My kids love it as much as I do, and this is coming from a guy who prefers to drive trucks.

Reliable w/ Good Performance

I bought this car with 150,000 miles on it from a private owner. Base model with heated/cooled seats, memory seats, subwoofer, and many other goodies. Have put 15,000 on it within the last 8months at about 19 MPG average. Love the strength and power of the base V8. Highly recommend purchase. Exterior styling is a bit distasteful in my option, but everything else is great
