1982 Cadillac DeVille Sedan review from North America
"Move over Japanese crap, this caddy is one sweet ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My front brake pads needed replacing.
The right rear turn signal globe was cracked and had to be sealed.
The power antenna ceased to function years ago.
The trunk shocks no longer hold the trunk lid up.
General comments?
Very big and hefty car. Weight and size being the true measure of a decent car.
Has that great smooth ride you can only get with a decent American car.
Power everything, obscenely soft seats are just a few of the luxury features. That gas mileage indicator and digital thermometer are pretty handy too.
