General Comments:

This car is comfortable and handles like a dream.

It is a little underpowered, but not too bad.

Highway mileage is about 22 or 23, city is about 17. Not bad for a full sized luxury car.

Extremely reliable, has NEVER failed to start and run.

Faults:

The tailpipe was rusted so it had to be replaced.

General Comments:

This is a beautiful car. I got it from the estate of a 98 year old woman, who had the car chauffeur driven. This car is showroom clean. I belong to the Cadillac club and have entered this car in several events and I have won a couple of trophies. Driving this car is a real treat. It has very plush leather seats and plenty of get up and go. This car is quieter inside that any of the new cars I have owned. This, along with a great "original" Dolby sound system make for a cool ride. Even though we only drive it about 1,000 miles a year, it starts like a dream every time. This is the last of the large American luxury boats. Too bad they don't make them like this any more.

Faults:

Air conditioning compressor replaced three months after purchase.

Alternator replaced two years after purchase.

Throttle Position Sensor and Coolant Temperature Sensor have been replaced.

General Comments:

I hear lots of stories about the unreliability of the HT4100. I've done around 75,000 miles since I bought it in almost five years, and it is still smooth and trouble-free. Maybe this is because I change the oil every 3,000 miles and the coolant every year, and use the all-important coolant tablets in the radiator.

This is the most comfortable car I've ever owned, and its only drawback is the lack of power. I drive it daily, and thus it has to be reliable. As most of my driving is in peak-hour traffic, comfort is more important than raw power, so it suits the purpose.

Power leather seats, climate control, and all the usual Cadillac options make this car a real pleasure to drive. If/when the motor does eventually fail, I intend replacing the motor and keeping this car.

Considering the weight of the car, fuel economy is surprisingly good. The digital fuel injection is faultless and a credit to General Motors.

Faults:

I had to replace the shocks and tie-rods.

The previous owner was a 93 yr. old man who had bought the car new. The automatic trunk motor is burned out, and I still have to fix that.

The air conditioner takes a while to get going, also.

General Comments:

This is, without question, a very nice car.

My sister has a top of the line, new infinity, and I will take the pepsi challenge with her any day of the week.

This car is built for comfort, not for speed (I have the 4.1 liter engine).

I love this car and hope it will last forever. It only gets cooler. It is more comfortable than your living room couch.
