Electric trunk closing motor does not work. Wiper mist pump not working, original radio 8 track not working, tuner not working, only the presets work. I tried playing an 8-track, now the tuner won't work either. A few inside/outside lights not working.
She is sexy, fast, comfy, and has the biggest sunroof I've ever seen. Like driving a La-Z-Boy!
A '78 Cadillac "fast" and "sexy"? On what planet??
The car may not be extreamly fast, but you can't not think it's sexy. I personally think my brougham is one of the best looking cars ever made. Let me put it this way, cars are like women. You think the nicest looking ones are the sexiest.
Well, using that reasoning, ANY car could be called sexy if someone likes the way it looks. My 1978 Checker Marathon: not fast, but dang, it sure is sexy! Big chrome grille, giant fenders and all!

A. On THIS planet!
Since this survey is to be filled out by people who own, or have owned the particular vehicle in question, I would recommend that people NOT make ridiculous comments about cars that they have never ACTUALLY OWNED.
That said, as a former owner of one of these, I agree that this vehicle is fast and powerful (it's got a 425 CID engine).
As far as sexy, I guess that would depend on the color. Mine was red (very sexy). They look very nice in black, as well.
The only reason I do not still own this vehicle, is the high gas consumption.
The writer of the previous comment needs to follow his own "recommendation" about not making ridiculous comments.
You don't need to have owned a particular car to have an opinion on whether it is "sexy" or not, subjective as that decision may be.
And anyone can leave comments here, not just owners or "former owners" of the model being reviewed.
And as far as a '78 Brougham being "fast and powerful" because "it has a 425 CID engine"-it also has a curb weight of 4314 pounds to push around, so with 180 hp it has a power to weight ratio about the same as a '78 Pinto with a V6.
Car & Driver magazine (June, 1978) tested a '78 Coupe de Ville. With a curb weight of 4,270 lbs, they got 0-60 mph in 10.6 seconds, 0-80 mph in 18.5 and a 18.2 sec @ 78.8 mph 1/4 mile time.
These time would probably easily beat a '78 V-6 Pinto.
Wow, an 18.2 sec 1/4 mile...gee, I guess it really is fast...
