The Cadillac sets makes a comfortable ride and keeps me going where I need to go.
I haven't had any problems with my Cadillac she drives smooth has a great take off speed and is roomy and comfortable. My only complaint would be the oil changes are expensive but that is a minor detail. She’s also very wise but once you get used to it is not a problem. My grandma had it first and then gave it to me after 87000 miles she still runs smooth and has not had any technical issues.

I love my car, she is very reliable!
Never had major issues that weren't user errors. It is comfy luxurious and reliable. Fairly good gas mileage. Great space in back seat and trunk. I recommend all the “bells and whistles. ”. Every once and awhile back up camera stops working due to wire problems. That is an expensive fix, I guess that would be my biggest issue.

Cadillac sets great family car for a small family!
There is really nothing for me to complain about on the vehicle that I drive. I love my Cadillac sets. It runs great and has been a very reliable car for me and my family. I get great gas miles on it and that is even with the gas prices as high as they are. It always runs smoothly on the road and has yet to break down on me.

The best part of having a Cadillac.
I love that it has heated and cool seats front and back the steering wheel also heats up the sun roof is awesome. You can set the seats and music and the greeting on the car with the touch screen radio it has. The car beeps when it feels that your close to any object its great on gas. It has a keyless fob can turn the car on or off from wherever you are.

Beautiful town car and very friendly and eco system like.
Parts are expensive and the gas runs out quick if you travel too far. It's also, not enough space if you have a big family. It do not run fast on highways and it is easily to flip if the wind blows to hard. But on a good note. It is very luxury, comfortable and very stylish. You can take it on short trips and the color on my car is very beautiful.

Yes. It has many extras for disabled persons. Remote start and back hatch opening. The seats are a good height to slide in and out.
