2008 Cadillac DeVille - I love the ride
My vehicle is a Cadillac Deville and is a 2008. It is Beige and a nice ride. It gets about 20 miles to the gallon which does not make it so great on fuel efficiency. However, if you want a spacious place for the kids then the Deville is yours. The only trouble I have had is that the air conditioner has went out and it's going to cost a lot to fix it. Cadillac's cost a lot to fix because they are luxury vehicles. It runs and drives great. I love my Cadillac!

This vehicle has had an air conditioning problem since we got it. I went to fix it recently and it was only going to cost 87 dollars. However it went out a week later and now it costs 625. So remember, if you have a lot of money to spend on a vehicle. Choose this one.

I Love that it runs and drives great! It is spacious for the kids! It is leathered out for comfort. It is a luxury vehicle.

The cons are that it is very high on parts and the cost to fix it is expensive. It doesn't get great fuel efficiency. Only 19-20 miles to the gallon. It's electrical issues is what I've heard will have problems in the future.

2002 Cadillac DeVille - Great, Love, Best Ever
The Cadillac Deville is an excellent car. It rides very smooth and the engine is quiet. It feels like a luxury car. When I ride over a bump, I barely feel the bump. I love the leather seats and Bose Sound system. Some cars don't have an Aux port and this car does. In the winter, the car heats up quickly. But I don't like that it uses a lot of gas. A full tank lasts me about 3 days, especially when I have to run the air condition. But overall, a great quality car. The performance of the car ranks amongst the best I have ever seen. It picks up speed fast going from 0 to 60 very quickly. I love my suspension and the air shocks.

This car's best attributes are probably the ride and handling. Only the most severe road defects upset the smooth as glass ride and it handles surprisingly well for such a big car. The steering is super light, like the wheel isn't connected to anything. I personally love making one finger U-turns. The brakes aren't so great, don't go that fast and make sure to leave plenty of stopping distance. It's exterior styling is a strong point too. I think these are among the best looking Cadillacs.

The interior is, as you would expect, very comfortable. My friend's actually fight over who gets to sit in back, they say it's like driving around on your living room couch.
Fuel economy isn't too bad either, about 16 or 17 in the city, about 26 or 27 on the highway. Speaking of highway driving, this car is great on long trips, you just glide along and relax.
And now for performance. The car well, uh, moves under its own power. It's not so slow that you will get killed trying to merge onto a highway, but don't even try to race anyone, you'll embarrass yourself. The HT 4100, for all the horror stories you may have heard, has been trouble free in my car It's definitely the most comfortable car I've ever sat in. The ride is absolutely terrific, it glides over speed bumps and I can hardly notice them. This is easily the nicest car that I have ever owned or driven. It is very comfortable on long (5+ hrs) road trips. It handles nicely with the four-wheel independent suspension. The ride is quiet and gentle. Steering is tight and responsive while the power assist allows easy control with the slightest grip. The brakes feel a little heavy, even with power assist (may be due for service) but still stops nicely.
Repairs are expensive even though car is 15+ years old. Heater core needed replacing a few times at $300 a pop. Replaced the water pump about 4 times in the past year at $150 for the labor, luckily I had a lifetime warranty. Also had to replace the radiator. Engine is tough to work on due to limited space, I personally do not like uni-body FWD cars, but that really isn't the cars fault. The standard dash trim for the DeVille was fake plastic which I replaced with real wood trim from a Fleetwood (after I customized it) lack of any performance parts for the engine at all. Active suspension i... (more)

Active suspension is expensive to replace, but passive kits are easy to get. More electronic gizmos on car = more to break down the road. The only bad thing I can really say about this car is that pulling in and backing out in a small space and/or parking lot is no fun. Also, those tiny side mirrors (what the hell were they thinking). Other than that, I recommend this car to anyone looking for a ride that will turn heads. Mine does all the time. Even the ricers stop and look now and again. Oil cooler (utilizes engines coolant). Seal can break and coolant can get into the oil or oil into the coolant. Both not good. Often seen on older Cateras after it was redesigned. Camshaft/Water pump Belt Tensioner failures. Can damage engine valves/pistons. Crankshaft Sensor | Camshaft Sensor HVAC Heater Coolant Valve malfunction - Spews coolant out. Easily fixed. Tire feathering - Front lower control arm bushings.
1994 Cadillac DeVille - Fun Car, OK Reliability
I've owned my Cadillac for about 4 years now. I got it at 134,000 miles and it is now at 182,000. For a car of its age, the build quality has proven to be quite good. The only defect with the interior is that the second pull down sun visor broke before I had the car. Cosmetically, the car looks to be in great condition. There is some minor cracking of the exterior plastic trim but it would never be seen without a close inspection. The leather has held up quite well. This is the most spacious car I have ever driven. Passengers say that the back seat is like sitting on a sofa. The car is certainly comfortable for long trips.

The downside to this car is reliability and the cost of fixing things that break. Almost since the time I got the car it has had slight overheating issues. If you are driving in stop and go traffic in hot weather or if you are driving up a steep mountain, there is a moderate chance that the car will reach much higher than normal operating temperatures where the dashboard will indicate "low oil pressure" (due to excessive heat) and it will instruct you to turn off the engine. At this point you need to let the car cool down a bit before continuing to drive. Avoiding steep mountains and stop and go traffic during very hot days eliminates the issue. Although inconvenient, that has not been too much of a problem for me.
The EGR valve went at about 150,000 miles causing extreme knocking until it was fixed. It was a very expensive repair. The air conditioning also needs constant maintenance and the heater core was replaced not that long ago.
All in all it is a decent car, but at its age many things need replacing causing issues with reliability as well as the cost to replace those items.
You can comfortably fit 6 people in this car which can be a lot of fun! (Front and rear bench seats)
