My vehicle is a black 2002 Cadillac Deville. It has a oatmeal interior.
I really don't have anything bad to say about my car. I've always wanted it because my grandmother had the same car when I was younger so I decided to get one. As far as maintenance, As long as you keep checking everything and be on top of the problems then your car should run great

Heated seats front and back
I love that Cadillac has heated seats on pretty much any vehicle years or younger. Cadillacs are always great for smooth driving you can't tell what how fast you're driving sometimes. Always an elegant look. Doesn't matter your age or career you can never go wrong with a Cadillac no matter the year.

Cooling and heating seats
My car runs great especially out on the freeway. It feels like we are floating. I've not had any mechanical problems. I keep up the regular maintenance on it and she runs great. I really love the heating and cooling seats. And just found out that when u turn on the seat settings and have the heating or cooling system on and have the vents blowing there is air that blows the middle of your back. I live in Arkansas where that is very appreciated in our hot summers.

It is a trustworthy car company with a long history of car making.
I like that is very reliable and a beautiful color. I do not have a lot of mileage and it never breaks down. I know it will last a long time.

I've driven a Cadillac since 1984 and love the comfortable and smooth ride it always gives. I've owned several brand new caddies, including this one. Would love to have a new one, but this one is just broke in with only 50000 some miles on it.
This is a one owner, low mileage, very clean auto.

Still very reliable surprisingly
It needs way to much fixed.it needs an ac compressor,motor mounts a sensor for the transmission but negligence it or not if it was fixed for about 500 out would be very nice and lots of luxury and features.

Garbage
One day car decides to not start. Ask dealership, no help, clueless people. Look online, lots of people with same issues. I am begging people to take this car at a fraction of what book value. Was a nice car. Now is a lawn ornament. Is there a way to give zero stars?? WHO PUTS THE STARTER INSIDE THE FRIGGING ENGINE????

It's Trash and undrivable half the time.
Bad transmission and engine overheats. Back window doesn't go up. Lots of mileage on it. Bad tire rods and needs a alignment. It's old and just runs really bad. Leaks oils and pretty much every form of liquid. Eats gas and oil. Radio is trash and the system in the car is bad. AC and heater doesn't work well if at all.

It gets me from point A to point B.
It has no a. C. Needs an oil change. Two broken doors. Two broken windows. Needs new brakes. Overheats. And has horrible gas mileage.
accountCircle Duane T
The car looks nice but it one problem after another. Parts are costly.
A lot of oil maintenance. Brake caliper bolt danger. The bolt loosens and falls out. Parts on the caddy are like foreign prices. There are some good features like the on star. I locked my keys in the car and was stranded. They had a trial price. And I got it and they popped the lock instantly. It could have been worse but that was a good thing at the time.

Very Reliable and Spacious
It is very comfortable and very spacious! Mine does have problems with air conditioning and my heat takes a while to start working. It is very reliable for how old it is and it takes me where I need to go. It does leak steering fluid but this varies depending on how well the car was taken care of.
accountCircle Benjamin J
It is an old car that will run well.
The gas mileage is poor. The electrics have many problems. The moon roof is not working. The air conditioning is not working.
accountCircle Jonathon K
This car can ride very smoothly. Takes turns nicely.
I like my car because it rides very smoothly. I dislike the cost of parts. I hope to sell my car for a Lincoln soon

The one most important thing to know about my car right now is that the passenger door window motor doesn't work and I can't get the window to roll up.
It is an older vehicle and it uses oil and at the moment has a coolant leak.
accountCircle Sara S on March 4, 2021
Power seats and windows are a must
Lots of room and big. Leather seats are a must have and the power seat features are amazing. Along with the power windows
