  Will it ever stop breaking ??? - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By mcgyver64 - March 12 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my DTS for 7-1/2 months now and although its alot of fun to drive and very comfortable the reliability has been horrible. It has been back to the dealer for 9 different warranty issues and 1 recall so far. Everything from suspension problems to moon roof leaking. The dealer is taking care of the problems as they arise but things are breaking faster than they can fix them. GM needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. Theres more to it than glitz and glitter.

  A bittersweet experience - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By Straightpipe - January 9 - 2:00 am

  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.

  First and Last Caddy - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By clark6630 - October 26 - 2:00 am

  I have been a GM family member for 30 years and finally decided to buy what I thought was its best product--caddy deville. I like the power of the 32v Northstar, like the comfort of the interior(heated seats and all), the exterior is still growing on me--too much plastic/fiberglass/average paint. The sound system is okay--hides the engine noise when the A/C is on or during acceleration. Instruments are not impressive, but located in good places. Should have opted for the DTS. Column shift still growing on me too. Still should have gotten the DTS.

  Who Did This? - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By El Rey - October 12 - 2:00 am

  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.

  So what if its a Cadillac-I still like. - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By RPD - October 4 - 2:00 am

  Other than the image problem as voiced by my teen-agers that I have purchased an "old persons" car, I think it was a great choice. I was looking for a larger, more comfortable alternative to the various SUV options and I think I have found a winner. Some well paid marketing wiz at GM actually fulfilled his(her) goal at sucking in the younger (just a little) generation before their usual buyer group died out-at least as represented by my case. I have no problem with the build quality so far and the interior design looks and feels great to me.

  Good Enough - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By Don Juan - August 16 - 2:00 am

  I brought this car for the sole purposes of road trips. I must say this car fits that role perfectly. The inside is good enough for comfortability. The handling is good enough to handle the tightest curves. Gas Mileage could be better, but on the highway, good enough. When I brought this car, I wasnt looking for the god of all cars, but what I was looking for was a good comfortable ride. That is what I ended up with when I brought my Cadi. Treat the car good and it will treat you good. Shouldve got a Lexus. If you would have, you would have the same complaints.

  Bad Cad Roadburner - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By McManus - August 10 - 2:00 am

  Probably too much of a vehicle for most "lite" Americans these days. All 300 horse hit the ground on request. Car hangs flat when flinging around turns to a surprising degree. Beautiful leather seats, nice wood trim. No mechanical problems even with the lead-foot thrashing it endures daily. I live in the Plains and dont spend a lot of time sucking exhaust in traffic jams.

  Oil fogger - 2002 Cadillac Deville
  By Mr. Beano - July 3 - 2:00 am

  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.
