The one thing that has been a problem with this vehicle, as well as other Cadillacs my family has owned, is the transmission. The transmission seems to fail long before anything else. We replaced the transmission twice and still have few problems with anything else. This is an older car and does use about 1 quart of oil in about 3,000 miles. It has over 120,000 miles on it.

This car drives nice and smooth. This car is nice to look and flashy when driving on the street. The engine in the car the northstar is not dependable. This is the second engine that has blown a head gasket.
