2003 Cadillac DeVille Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by max_on_det
Member2275
Price or payments
This car is a great deal used as the depreciation is significant over the first few years of ownership.
Powertrain performance
Northstar V-8 is a world class, powerful, fuel efficient, low maintenance, reliable engine.
Fuel economy
300hp and 25+MPG highway for a very large and heavy car is great.
Insurance cost
Cheap to insure and good used car prices.
Ride smoothness
Rides like a dream.
Reliability & durability
Crankshaft sensors, transmission torque converter trouble codes, coolant system leaks/lights, and window regulators are common problem areas.
Depreciation
I feel sorry for anyone who buys this car new as they will never be able to keep up with the depreciation curve.
Controls and instruments
Air Conditioning and heater system design is lousy. Noisy fan on all settings, poor temp control, requires constant user input to stay comfortable, and tar like bits of foam spit out of the ducts. Overall, pretty to look at but disappointing.
