  Great Car - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By Jim - May 13 - 4:05 pm

  I bought this car used last year with 52K miles. I was able to transfer the extended warranty to my name and got 6 months worth of coverage. The car has been worry free. The only things Ive done are oil changes, replacement of the original tires at 55K miles, wheel alignment and 60K maintenance service. I would have never imagined myself driving a Cadillac, but this car is fantastic, esp. 28 MPG on the highways. It does like oil, but the car display tells you when to add it and the dealer told me this is typical of Cadillacs and GMs in general.

  Comfortable but poor quality - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By David L. - April 23 - 4:58 pm

  This car looks and drives good. Its so quiet and smooth that you have to be careful not to fall asleep on long trips. Quality is another story... Engine started burning oil at the rate of 1 quart every 400 miles. Thank heaven I got the extended warranty! Dealer rebuilt the motor, new pistons and rings, $5600.00 and 3 days in the shop. This car had something break every month. All 4 power window regulators broke, 3 fixes on the brake lights, torque converter problems, stability control warnings, too many things to list here. I recently traded it in because the warranty was about to expire, which had a $100 deductible for each occurrence. Quality was crappy at best. car had less than 70k mi

  Catalytic converter - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By PATRICIA CRAFFEY - April 22 - 6:56 am

  This car is a nightmare. Since I owned it from 2001 I have replace cat converter and now replacing a third one broke down in ct had to find a dealer to be towed to broke down in NH and had to find a dealer to be towed to. First one I was near a dealer in ma. I have to keep checking the oil because it uses a lot. Dealer said this is "normal" I have a 1995 Cadillac and it runs real smooth. Do not think I will buy another Cadillac. Maybe go to the foreign car even though I said "never". Goodbye to Detroit.

  Caddy Deville......Last of the Boats - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By Dom - February 25 - 9:30 am

  The Cadillac Deville is fast becoming one of the last boat Caddy cars ever being made. The new ones have all the bells and whistles but they no longer have that long slick boat length look to them like the old Cadillacs have and thats a shame. I love this car and I just purchased it with over 114,000 miles on the odmeter!

  Over rated over priced - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By W J TX - October 7 - 3:21 pm

  This car looks great however driving it I notice poor rear visibility for backing and parking. The powerful engine is a bit too much for a FWD car, full throttle at 30 mph is a bit risky since the car darts in one direction or the other depending on the road. Replaced both hubs, no help. The fuel consumption is high in city driving acceptable on the open road though. This engine is an oil hog about a qt. every 1000 miles which GM says is normal for the Northstar, explains the 7.5 qt. crankcase. Transmission oil life sensor does not work. Plastic in and out is poor quality, dash pad warping, fender liners crack just from stones on the road. Had a rented 2007 for a month was no better.

  Maintenance nightmare - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By Dan - August 5 - 1:54 pm

  This is my 3rd new Cadillac and although I love it, it is not a quality car. It will use a quart of oil every 1500 miles. I have replaced steering rack, steering shaft, left and right hub, water pump, motor mount, water pump cover, lower crank case sensor, all 4 rotors.

  To Caddy or Not to Caddy - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By koole - February 19 - 9:27 am

  The DeVille is a great looking car. It has abundant features. I wish it had cooled seats like 04 and newer models though. It also has a nice clean interior setup, everything is easily within drivers reach.

  Third Cadillac - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By PhantomCadillac - October 24 - 8:08 am

  I have had this car for a little over a month. I have put 4,000 miles on it. The ride is excellent. The nav system needs a way to update. The night vision is ok but not really needed. Back up sensors are a really nice touch. The rain sensors are a nice added touch. One problem already is the seloniod in the transmission has gone bad and it will cost about $2,000 to fix. This is my third Cadillac and I have enjoyed everyone of them.

  The Best Cadillac Model Ive Ever Driven - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By James Henderson - July 12 - 11:47 am

  I purchased my DeVille DHS in February and so far it has been the best car purchased Ive made. Ive owned over five Cadillacs, all of them have been great cars but the DHS is the absolute best. The smooth handling, climate control, a/c, OnStar, and the memory seats stole my heart. I hope to keep this car for a very long time.

  Happy Owner - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By Frank Byron - July 5 - 10:20 am

  My 2001 Cadillac DeVille is one of the nicest cars I have owned. It is comfortable, stylish and safe. Its fuel economy is great for a large car. I can get 29 mpg on the highway.
