1983 Cadillac DeVille Coupe review from North America
"Consume, Waste, and Pollute... The Cadillac Dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windows roll down and up slowly and sometimes not at all.
Steering and accelerating this land yacht is about the same as a boat.
There is only one setting for the heater & A/C...HIGH.
General comments?
I love this car. I haven't had it very long, but it literally is a land yacht for an American. I have heard many stories about all the problems with this car, but I still love it either way.
The interior is very roomy and has plush seats. Many times I have fallen asleep (not driving) in these seats.
The body is was is relatively good condition when I bought it. The car has been stolen 3 times and was involved in a shootout, but even through that, it looks great. People here in Utah marvel at the bullet holes in the side, but I love the overall impression the car gives off... it definitely turns heads.
