1995 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Like the car, despite coming maintenance expenses for failing transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car's automatic transmission doesn't work in reverse. The problem is worse when reversing uphill. I suspect I'll be replacing the transmission soon.
Driver's seat back appears torqued, or twisted away from it's original straight forward position.
The car is only getting 20 mpg on the highway. I suspect this may be related to the transmission problem.
General comments?
The car gives the ride one would expect from a Cadillac. It is quiet.
I found it to be surprisingly peppy for a car its size! Long rides on the highway are relaxing and stress free.
Electronic instrumentation is working as expected. Nice to be able to see Instant and Average MPG. Outside temperature is a plus as temperatures transition to above and below freezing.
The sound system is original... and excellent!
The trunk is remarkably large, and probably holds as much as older station wagons!
Anti-lock brakes work fine, and make the car fairly safe to drive on snow and ice!
