1983 Cadillac DeVille review from North America
"Another great Caddy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been very reliable.
The secondary vacuum pump and A.I.R. pump were replaced at roughly the same time (103,000 miles), neither was too expensive.
The power windows are very slow and the passenger side works sporadically.
The car has a small oil leak, nothing too serious.
The trunk supports wore out, but were easily replaced.
The sunroof stopped working, have to keep it closed.
General comments?
For such a big car it gets great gas mileage, about 18-20 miles per gallon.
Performance is weak, especially from a stop.
Very comfortable car, large interior and a great ride.
