This car has been dependable ride for seventeen years.
I inherited this car when my mother passed away. Though it has fewer than 66,000 it is considered to be in fair shape because it is a "flood car." It runs well, though there are a few issues that should be dealt with. I keep it because it reminds me of my mother.

Vintage edition all black
I have a black vintage edition with the black soft top. It is beautiful, with lots of features like sunroof, power everything, and little touches like umbrella holders. The vintage edition comes with extra gold accents. It has been very reliable, and performance is impressive with the V8 power and smooth handling.

My 2001 Cadillac is awesome.
Vehicle is overall good. Only problems that occur with my Cadillac is the wheel bearings need occasional replacing. I switched from regular oil changes and now go full synthetic. The synthetic oil prolongs my engine life for a high mileage vehicle. My vehicle drive smooth and hugs the road perfectly.

2001 Cadillac deville review and highlights.
This is a very reliable car. It's been running for 18 years. It has had some maintenance done. Maintenance can be costly, but rare. It's a beautiful car with leather and wooden interior. The car has heated seats which are a plus if you live somewhere cold. The center console folds up to allow for a third passenger to sit in the front row. Just as well, the middle seat in the back row can convert into an armrest, complete with plenty of storage space and two cup holders. The trunk is very large. The car is good on gas mileage.

IT IS FUN TO DRIVE AND TO RIDE IN
I LOVE HOW IT DRIVES. IT NEEDS A FEW THINGS. THE AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK

Luxury remains as it ages.
I love my car but for the low gas mileage. Due to its age, a few things are wrong: the inside lights and air/heat do not work, the dashboard sensor needs to be reset and the wheel wells have been crushed by hitting a dip too hard and need repairing/replacing.

It is very dependable & stylish.
It's a great car however things go out on it very fast. Within a few weeks of getting something done I need it done again. Otherwise a great vehicle.

The compartments of a caddie.
There really are no problems. The drive is smooth. It has been a reliable car so far minor work so far I bought it from a used car salesman who gave me a pretty good deal on it. I think it is a very comfortable car nice leather seats cream color the car outer color is burgundy. The car has seat warmers, small sunroof, it has ashtray for those who smoke car charger radio, the driver seats adjust every time door are unlocked.3 people can sit in back if choose to if not there is a cup holder in the back as well it has a middle compartment in between the driver and passenger.

Goldie the Cadi, a cool kid ride.
Very comfortable to ride in, and even better to drive. I love all of the space in the trunk and in the cab itself. Unfortunately it gets very low gas mileage and I often have coolant and oil issues with the car. Repairs can be quite costly, as it is classified as a 'luxury' car.

Carol the same time, the more you know what you think about it, I think I have e.
The car is more import need to be able to get it right now, but it does not seem to be any different from that of the most popular connection for the first time since the beginning of the season in a way that is the case, and the other hand, if the person who has been on the market today and the second half.

Comfortable seating rear and front.
Most comfortable seats ever with heating. Has needed repairs because it is a 2001. But it has not been hard to find someone who. Can do the repairs they are expensive though. Once fixed it is definitely reliable we have 125k miles on the car as of today.

Cadillac does not maintain good control on electric windows.
Recently had to replace rack & pinion. Need struts & shock absorbers because auto continually tries to adjust leveling. The passenger electric window needs replacing. Other than above items smooth riding car.
