It's a death trap for one it dies the battery dies

It's a death trap for one it dies the battery dies constantly wiring problems the whole 9 yards Cadillac should feel real proud and on top of all that when the battery dies it locks you in that happened to me just the other day they should give me a newer Cadillac cause the one I have isn't worth the money I paid for it and put into it it's a joke Cadillac should just offer me one at no cost I've almost died in that death trap by it shutting off on me locking me in and engin exhaust i found the fumes blowing into the vehicle so yeah they should just off me a new model at no cost I've spent thousands on that piece of shi**okay

Powerful, reliable V8

This 18 year old Car has "lasted 10 years" like it should, as the song says. Its still smooth, powerful, and everything still works. The original white paint still looks like new. Of course, the previous owner obviously took care of it, and I will too. Heads turn, when I arrive in this, even tho, Used, I paid about 20 cents on the dollar for what most new ones cost. Sure, I miss the backup camera, the blind spot monitor, and adaptive cruise of my newer cars, but, I fixed the BSM with a small round concave mirror which eliminated that blind spot. I feel very safe in the powerful big car, that gets surprisingly great mileage on the hiway, sometimes close to 30 miles per gallon, with an average of around 27 hiway. Of course its much worse around town, stop and go. The trunk is so large, that a small family could move in the trunk and live there. Well not quite. This model is the "fleet livery" model. I understand that GM put a 3 year 150,000 mile warranty on the fleet models.. you dont want it to break, so that warranty is a vote of confidence. I think a big difference between "fleet" models and the regular Caddy, is the fleet has an oversized radiator, and holds 60 percent more oil. This is important because radiators tend to clog up, reducing capacity, over time, and causing the engine to heat up. Overheating is a killer of engines and this massive radiator keeps it cool no matter what. It also takes extra oil..8 quarts. That keeps it cool, too. It costs a little more oil at oil changes, But that's but its a small price to pay for a very reliable car.

Very good Value, excellent Quality for a GM

Meets/exceeds all expectations, as with all NorthStar engines, pay attention to cooling/oil service. Be Pro-active, car will not let you down. Superb in every way. The best of GM, better than my Lincolns, same as my BMW's Quality, reliability wise. Great Value, look for maintained vehicle when purchasing.

No equal in comfort.

You only notice when you get in someone else's car. Sitting in traffic seems to be so much easier. You can't put a price on that. Road rage? I'm never in hurry to get out of my caddy. I will miss her when she is gone.

It needs work on it but ride it smooth.

The car is powerful smooth ride and quiet. When I needed repairs on car i was still able to drive it until I got the money. Don't take your car to anyone take it to a person who specializes in Cadillacs
