Cadillacs are still classy!
Uses oil once a week because of its age. Great riding and driving. All the bells and whistles. Love the heated heats. If you don't take care of the leather seats, they will split. Cadillacs last forever if taken care of.

Dependability and smooth noise free drive.
My 2003 Cadillac Deville is super comfortable, I love the heated seats, handling is a breeze. I like the climate control a/c. It is extremely dependable. Preset seat adjustments are a must when others drive your car. Smooth and no road noise.

Smooth ride. Unbelievable comfort.
The car is extremely x. Comfortable to ride it. This car is great on gas mileage. This car has never had one single maintenance problem since me and my fiancé have owned it. The back seat is extremely comfortable. The paint job on my car is 15 years old and looks brand new still. My sons love the comfort of this whole car. This car rides as smooth as silk.

The seats are some of the most comfortable seats you can find in a car.
It has gone through the test of time and still working good. It has recently been stalking but with a bit of warming up the car first it works just fine.

Not a huge fan of this vehicle as it has many problems.
My car is undrivable as the frame rusted through. I did like the heated seats however some of them did not work. One of the windows is stuck in the down position. Another problem is the sunroof, it does not work at all and we cannot figure out why. The heated side view mirror burned and turned the glass black.

The defrost icon directs the air to the windows so that the road is clear.
It is good and I like that the interior is comfortable enough plus the leg room is adjustable and the defrost helps in cold weather for example if the fog is bothering your windows and making driving difficult the air conditioning can actually help in that regard.

2003 Cadillac 4-door with black cloth-like top.
My 2003 Cadillac deville has recently had to have a new air conditioner fan; one of the back windows does not work, and the front knee panel under the steering wheel has fallen off and so has dash trim piece around the radio and the a/c. This is a very comfortable riding car although it fits a larger man better than me, and is low, making it hard to get into and out of. Mechanically it has been very dependable, which is what really counts. The leather seats are very nice and still look like new.

2003 Cadillac deville, low key luxury.
The car drives really smooth and has a nice leather interior, heated seats, plenty of trunk space, and is large enough to seat 6 including the driver. The only major drawback I see is the fact that it rides very low to the ground. That plus the fact that the shocks are not the best means that driving on bumpy roads or hitting potholes feels a lot more uncomfortable than with other sedans.

It is spacious very roomy.
I like how comfy it is and the sound system is pretty good too... I do not like how low it ride nor the mileage in gas I get..
accountCircle Lisa W

It is old but comfortable.It will not make another long trip,it is trustworthy only around town. The AC quit working a few years ago.
accountCircle Sara H
I love the leather seats.
Living in Hawaii is great. Making yourself look great with a fancy car gets a lot of attention - which I enjoy.

Keep checking the check the engine light.
It very slow Cadillac mess up easily do to the type of car it is. Be very careful keep car up to date with check lights. Everything else is pretty good with the car miles can exceed over 200, 000 with constant checks. The engine runs pretty good and quiet.
