  2003 Deville -- Land Yacht - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Stacey Kazacos - January 5 - 4:56 pm

  I bought the Deville with about 35K miles, 7 years ago. The car is best on a long trip when comfort and smooth highway handling count the most. My biggest problems have been with faulty sensors -- just about all of them to include: oil pressure, engine temp, airbag, steering, tire pressure etc. The actual components were NOT at fault. In every case it was the sensor. The other problem I had (which seems to be common among owners) is the power window motor failing. The electronic switches and displays are chintzy. Anyway, the motor is great. Uses about 1 quart per 1,600 miles. All that said, it is a fun car to drive on a trip. It depreciated quickly -- so I would shy away from buying a new one in the future.

  One owner car bought with 65K - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By totsman - January 21 - 9:12 pm

  To anyone with a vibration issue. You need to keep the stock Michelin Symmetrys on the car. Once I put new tires on and went to Sullivan Tire multiple times we did it. 0 to 100 MPH, no vibration. Bad experience with Caddy dealer who had to be told to replace back seat control module twice. I wrote it in the P & S agreement the AC in the back didnt work. 1) Tires (2) Dry boots and a broken axle 3) Broken engine front mount 4) Water pump froze and wiped out all the pully system. (5) Air intake sensor problem 6) Fuel pump float sending unit gone 7) 1-20-11 back in the shop for misfire and fuel 8) Replaced pass. window regulator

  A Positive Review of Cad DHS - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Anonymous - December 6 - 6:28 am

  Overall its been a fantastic machine. Very easy to drive,comfortable and smooth. Only thing that has broken three times were the window racks that hold the glass panels. Replaced under warranty but still, shouldnt be that fragile or poorly engineered. The gas mileage is unbelievable(18 city/26 hwy) for a car that size. This car will last me a long time and gives me great pleasure in owning and driving.

  A V8 Gem - 2003 Cadillac Deville

  This car has been extremely reliable and has required minimum maintenance over the years. MPG on the highway is still 25-26 driving the speed limit of 70 mph. Great car that Im counting on reaching 250,000 miles using Mobil 1 5W30 motor oil and changing it every 3000 miles.

  Cadillac Deville - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By mike - October 8 - 3:15 am

  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 cant speak on reliability hopefully it will be better then the others I have heard about. Its strickly a highway cruiser you dont 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 think I have a lemon - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By G Franzen - September 25 - 8:33 pm

  I love the comfort of my car, however with less than 30,000 miles I have had very expensive repairs that should never have happened. Three of the four window chains have broken and all have needed to be replaced (very expensive.) The air injection pump needed to be replaced. There was a horrific odor coming through my ventilation system, then was told I had bacteria in the lines. This needed to be disinfected. The plexi- glass over the speedometer is all streaked (I have no idea) how that could have happened. My engine motor mounts are loose, and, of course, none of these items were or are under warranty and as far as I can tell, none of these items have been recalled.

  Premier Car of the GM Fleet? - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Concerned - September 12 - 3:52 pm

  Whats the rest of the fleet like? Power train good (so far) but stupid stuff - like mechanical mechanism for passenger window replaced at 45000 miles, wheel bearings replaced at 48000 miles, brake sensors corroded and replaced 46000 - all out of warranty, of course. Trunk developed leak at 43000. I buy one owner-off lease vehicles with about 25000 miles on them. Drove Lincoln Continentals for 10 years, bought extended warranties - never once used them - cars each died after 175000 miles. This car would cost a mint to drive 175000 miles. Very disappointing for quality and reliability. Cadillac, youve got a long way to go to be perceived as a quality vehicle.

  2003 DeVille - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By thawyzard - February 6 - 4:07 pm

  I drive my DeVille on the open road and in the city. It has the smoothest ride ever. I drive 30,000 miles per year. The DeVille is the most comfortable car that I have ever owned. Its gas mileage is dependent upon the speed you drive. I have driven it 100,000 miles with few problems, none serious. I have never been left sever stranded or towed etc. I had problems with the air conditioner fan and a few interior pieces had to be replaced. Otherwise, this is a very good, A+++ car.
