  High-maintenance car - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By William Wu - November 21 - 3:27 am

  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.

  My beautiful Caddy - 1991 Cadillac Deville
  By Jim W. - September 22 - 3:01 pm

  If this car wasnt so great looking Id had gotten rid of it a long time ago. Ive owned many GM cars and even a Dodge and VW Rabbit and this car has had more things go wrong with it then I have ever had with any other car. Major things like the on board computer, the fuel tank and fuel pump had to be replaced twice, A/C stopped working, and now the injectors are going bad. It has 97,000 miles on it. good points....gets excellent gas mileage even in town I average 20 - 23 and on the freeway at 65 mph I get around 28 to 31. the engine is very powerful and responsive. bad points there is always some little thing breaking down and repairing this car is very expensive

  Good car when new, but its falling apart - 1999 Cadillac Deville
  By danieluga - June 19 - 9:52 pm

  Bought the car new in November 1998. It was great for about 7 years/50,000 miles then started leaking coolant. 16.5 years/135,000 miles into its life it overheats going 15 miles down the road. Happily traded it in a few days ago for a new Prius. Cadillacs seem to be great when new but dont stick around for the duration. Northstar engines are economical and powerful but have issues...done with Cadillac

  Not worth it! - 1995 Cadillac Deville
  By orangeavenf - January 17 - 10:12 am

  This 95 was a pretty lady that turned on me! This car is horrible. I bought car with 95,000 miles, drove it for about 2,000 miles, and ever since its spent more time in the shop than on the road. The reliability is on par with a 1970s snowmobile. I spent $600 replacing transmission solenoids, $300 on a starter, fixed a broken engine mount, a rusted metal coolant line, and now my mechanic cant get the Service Ride Control message to go away, leaving me stuck with a car thats worth $1,000 or putting another $1,000 into modifying the air suspension. Its just a bad choice thats led to a terrible experience. I wouldnt do it again!

  Not sure what Cadillac is anymore... - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By potsynolls - September 14 - 11:34 am

  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.

  great car but.... - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By kate58 - May 13 - 3:35 pm

  I bought this car with 89000 miles on it. two weeks after it was bought the problems started. One day while driving, the battery light came and the car shut off. I replaced the battery (what the dealership told me was the ONLY problem). after the new battery it ran fine for about a month then it started again. The dealer told me nothing was wrong with it. Every time i turn on the a/c or heat the car will shut off, even when randomly driving it shuts off. The service tire monitor light came on, fixed that only for it to come back on shortly after. Love the car despite these issues but just wish the dealer would have helped more.

  factory reject? - 2001 Cadillac Deville
  By tatezuki - July 31 - 3:00 pm

  The Caddy looked good. Its supposed to, its a Caddy. It sat way too low to the ground. I would have to drive very very slowly over speed humps so I wouldnt rip anything off. My mechanic said it would cost over $800 to replace. It somehow loses a quart of oil a month. Catalytic converter.....almost $500 to replace. A "fresh air" unit? ........... needed to pass emissions, over $400. I bought it with $56k miles. It now has 103k. Now the front end shakes when I drive over 40 mph. The fuel gauge NEVER worked. I bought it three years ago with 56k miles on it. It has 103k now.

  No quality in some systems - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Anonymous - December 6 - 6:12 am

  Bought this practically new 25,000miles car from my neighbor and thought that being a $50,000 Cadillac, it would be a wothwhile opportunity. Wrong! In less than 5,000 miles and 8 months since bought, I have had to replace each front window mechanisms twice. The SS cable just lets go of the support bracket although its new. Too wide turning radius, no U turns allowed without backing up. The A/C works well but it showers the occupants with a black greasy foam which has damaged the carpet, seats and occupant clothing. Impossible to remove cleanly and very costly to repair. Too plastic int. As stated to the dealer, this is supposed to be a $50K car and the features do not justify cost.

  Expensive to Maintain - 2003 Cadillac Deville
  By Anonymous - December 6 - 6:06 am

  Had to replace water pump @40k mi. Failed about 10k mi. later 2nd replacement / Three window regulators..not cheap! Broken motor mounts.. Now @ 87k miles transmission has to be rebuilt which will include torque converter expected costs 2200-3000 dollars .The sad part is Im still making payments on this car that I loathe. I am a professional school bus driver and am not hard on cars.. my last Cad. is a 94 el Dorado with 200k mi. and Ive spent very little in maintenance and repairs and we plan to drive it till theres nothing left but the steering wheel, love that car!
