  • High-maintenance car - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    Ive been driving with Cadi for one year. I regret purchasing it and decided selling it recently. Ive put too much money into this car, and it isnt worth it.. A new problem would occur every three to four months so that I had to take it to get repaired. It just made me upset. As a student, I need a reliable car.

  • Not sure what Cadillac is anymore... - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    I think that the devilles are good sized cars that eliminating any cramped feelings that most other cars can have. This is a definite upgrade from chevy division products, and I am sad to see the company changing its product line up into unfamiliar territory. Being a 2002 deville I have made and paid for some repairs which isnt fun, but eventually any 10+ year old car is going to need some work done to it. I am still a little confused to what Cadillac thinks that they are competing with at the same price points of everyone else. I think that the build quality of cadillacs should be the standard for all GM products instead of them continuously pumping out tin can crap to consumers.

  • Never Again - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    I first purchased a 2001 Deville and turned it in under the Lemon Law within 6 months (26 times in the shop). We purchased a 2002 replacement. This car was good for about 35,000 miles. Then it started using oil, had to replace 2 seat heaters, water pump, and two starters. Since then it has been one senor after another, cruise control module, two more starters, flywheel, ball joint, etc, etc. I will drive this until it stops to get my investment back, however I could never be compelled to purchase another Cadillac in this lifetime! Not worth the cost outlay or the frustration level. I have also learned Cadillac, as a company, is not concerned about its customers - horrendous experience!

  • So far so good - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    Purchased used from dealership. Car is in good condition was garage kept. Ride good fuel about 25 MPG Highway mostly. City about 15 . Always wanted a Caddy even though it is 6 yrs old with only 35,000 miles drives great.

  • A bittersweet experience - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    After having the worst experience of my life with Classic Cadillac which was only exceeded by Bill Green a manager at Cadillac Customer No Service who told me "I report to no one". To me the new DTS lacks some features that have been lost since my 92 Deville was built such as good quality working visors, seats that cradle the body and a more comfortable road ride. I also miss the exterior light monitors and the automatic pull down trunk. The $2K Onstar system which I did not order is a joke. The 92 feels considerably more responsive and powerful than the DTS. The DTS also seems to have less rear leg room and trunk space than my 92.

  • Who Did This? - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    The goofy sun visor was designed by Rube Goldberg. The emergency brake pedal coundnt be in a more wrong location. The seats are narrow - and Im not fat. Assuming that the seat control are operating properly, they are absolutely nonsensical: returning the seat to the operating position from the exit position as soon as the door is locked. The air conditioning is noisy to the point of interferring with normal conversation. The cooling system was delivered to me with inadequate coolant. Now, after 3000 miles, the "coolant level low" light came on. (I added coolant immediately). Its got a leak somewhere. This car is poorly thought through.

  • Oil fogger - 2002 Cadillac Deville
    By -

    After 15,000 miles, our new DTS began smoking like a chimney and using 4 quarts of oil in 3,000 miles. Our dealer tells us this is normal for a Cadillac. I think we made a $50,000 mistake.
