1986 Cadillac DeVille Coupe review from North America

Well let's see where to start, the alternator went bad within two weeks of owning this car, this led to electrical problems which had left me stranded in the middle of nowhere a few times. Then I started noticing coolant leaking out of the bottom of the car. Here an unexpected leak happened out of the middle of nowhere and my electrical service light hadn't notified me. The engine started making a pop corn like noise and my car would shut off out of the middle of nowhere after I had fixed the leak, replaced the alternator, and the battery. I took it into the shop and cylinder #2 had gone bad which would've been $1500 to fix. So the bozo's that had the car before me forgot to use the special beads to lubricate the engine which was the primary cause of the engine problems.

This car is an all around bad car to have due to the dreaded ht 4100 engine and bad engineering. If you want a reliable car definitely do not buy this car because you'll pay more maintaining it and putting gas into it a jaw dropping 13.5 miles to the gallon average than the car is worth. Also it's very slow and hard to maneuver in a bad situation, and the seat-belts rarely lock even when the brakes are hit which has cause many of my passengers and I bruises to the head. Don't buy this car!!
