The interior is comfortable with plenty of room for other passengers.

I love the performance of my Cadillac, in the 4 years that I have owned it I have had very few problems. The engine runs very nice as long as you take care to look after it with regular oil changes and checks. I always feel very safe while driving my car and the interior is comfortable too.

Robert B

It is has one of the ten best engines in the world

It has a nice ride, most functions are automatic so it's less for me to remember, it has rear seat climate control, it has a built in cell phone which gets better service than my smart phone, it is a mobile hotspot so I can use my tablets in the car. I haven't found anything I dislike about it yet

Julie B

Wonderful car to drive both in the city and on the highway.

Gas gauge doesn't work. Console lid broke. Car is very reliable, gets 18 mpg average. The v8 makes it a dream on the highway. Comfort is great in the front and back seats. Both front seats is heated with three temp. Options. Each seat in front has it is own temperature choices. Glovebox is big and holds a lot. Heated steering wheel is nice in cold weather.

Rachel G

I love how it drives, it is so smooth.

I love my car. It drives really smooth, is very reliable, and I love the heated steering wheel. It has normal car problems for a car it is age, especially considering it recently reached 200,000 miles. The antifreeze chamber thing has a leak, and I do not know how to deal with that but otherwise everything is great.

Maria C

Comfort and many luxury items.

My large car has be been a minivan alternative for many year. . It. Drives smooth. And comfortable and fits 6.

2004 Cadillac pros and cons.

Very comfortable car! Lumbar support can position seat ever so slightly for a perfect conformity. Heated steering wheel is a plus. Very smooth ride even on rough roads. Handles well in rain and snow. Can seat 5 people comfortably. Air conditioned seats or heat for all passengers. Great for a backache. Inside interior is sleek and complimentary. Chargers for phone for rear passengers along with air conditioning and heat adjustment. . Downfall repairs can be pricey. Car needs oil check especially with high mileage travel. Known for oil leaks and pricey sensors. Some repairs can be difficult to get to parts. Battery in back seat. Blower motor for heat and air calls for removal of glove box. Rotors replacement very common. Brake fluid continuously flows carrying debris that pivot rotors. So far I have never replaced brake shoes in which I have driven 50,000 miles. Throttle sticking can be a problem. But if you love your car then it is all worth it.

Jessica M

Good car, some sensor issues.

This car has been very reliable. The average gas mileage is 20 miles per gallon. The temperature sensor for the ac/heater is broken, and the gas gauge malfunctions when the gas range is below about 80 miles. I have to be careful not to get too low on gas since the gauge is not accurate. Overall, it has been a fine car with no critical issues.

Janes S

Very comfortable ride. Uses 7.5 quarts of oil and will last 7000 miles.

Luxurious and very smooth ride. Expensive repairs, window motor costs $500. Very large interior and trunk.

Jane B

I love the car. However it is old and has way too much mileage. It is beginning to cost more than it is worth.

It is very comfortable to drive and rides smoothly.

Joe Trio

Air intake and throttle body And oil leak from the filter housing

My 04 has over 200,000 miles Ive never had overheating or head gasket problems because that issue was resolved on late 04’s and 05’s but I have had problems with my secondary air injection system(replaced the entire system ever hose the valve and pump motor,Ive also replaced the throttle body including the throttle body sensor and the air intake valve and mass air flow sensor..Ive also done coils,plugs and all air and fuel filters but this is normal maintenance,Ive also replaced the oil filter housing gasket and oil pressure sending unit that was leaking motor oil..also under regular maintenance Ive done rear shocks and front struts and axel bearings and of course brakes and rotors at least twice(200,000 miles) but my car is basically rust free,I drive it back and forth to florida every winter,the interior is near perfect and clean and the car rides and still drives like the day I bought it,its smokey gray metallic paint the 17 inch Cadillac Crome rims and a light gray leather interior,with a sunroof in my opinion “a nice Caddy” still at 15 years old and a ton of mileage,the key to a good old Cadillac car is maintenance,dont be cheap,buy AC delco,delphi or denso parts wash the car frequently of road salt,drive it low and slow and it will last and still look like a Cadillac.....always loved them

Autumn C

Great car recommended for anybody who likes to travel

I love the Cadillac deville . It is a great car reliable and always gets me to where I need to go with no problem. It's not too hard to replace parts on the car yourself. Also it is very comfortable and very nice inside and out I would recommend anybody This vehicle

Analyse G

A very good, smooth running car

It is a very spacey car. It runs smooth and I really enjoy it. I've had a few problems with it but nothing too big. It's really easy to drive. It's easy to put gas in, roll the windows down, etc. The trunk is very nice and spacey, I can fit a lot of stuff in it.

Christina C

Rides beautifully, but A/C, and computer problems are common.

The Cadillac has given us several problems. The air conditioning no longer works, the window buttons only work sometimes, the automatic lights stay on too long and drain the battery. Repairs on it are always expensive for parts alone, but even more so for mechanic time to replace said parts.

Richard P

The engine is hard to work on and requires to take to a mechanic for most fixes.

Ride very good and has a large interior. Gets good gas mileage for its size.

Jeff B

Easy rider..Floats well, handles well, reasonable on fuel.

Kind of easy driver. Stylish and good looking.... Expensive to maintain. Electronics are costly to repair.

Joshua E

Power steering is out and exhaust has smoke coming out.

My car rides smooth. But uses a lot of gas. And is expensive to fix.

Why I like my 2004 gray Deville.

Drives good, feels good to ride in, started to have some minor problem because of age. Has four tire that are ok. Conditioning still work very good, keep car cold. Like radio still work also have a great wrap around sound system. The only thing do not like about this car was that it was made by general motor, which stole money from people.

Brandon W on January 2, 2021

A smooth ride on any type of pavement.

It's a great car to have, but the gas mileage is horrible. If you get into an accident, I would hope you have insurance because replacement parts for a Cadillac are not cheap whatsoever. Very smooth handling. Good gas mileage on the highway though. Great music system with heated and cooling seats.
