1996 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Great for people that have money to spend on repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My A/C doesn't work, but it is constantly blowing hot air through every vent.
It's too low to the ground, which causes the car to scrape curbs and such.
Whenever I turn either left or right, it sounds like my wheels are scraping.
It's leaking oil, coolant, and transmission fluid.
My memory for seat positioning always resets.
There is a humming coming from somewhere around my wheels.
It acts like the catalytic converter is clogged.
General comments?
Even though I have never liked Cadillacs, I have to say that it can be a smooth ride if you get the right kind. They aren't too bad to look at as long as you don't get one like mine.
