1982 Cadillac DeVille Coupe Deville from North America - Comments

Power driver's seat stopped working just before I bought the car.

Climate control (as with many 80's Cadillacs) only blows hot are on none at all.

Also before I bought it the stock am/FM/CB radio stopped working, so I replaced it with a Kenwood CD player which sounds great.

Other than that the car is in great shape.

I bought the car January 10th 2005 at a local used car lot for $225 and my fathers Chevy S10, I knew the second I saw the car I was in love. even though at that time it had been sitting un-started for 6 months and needed a little TLC, despite all that it started right up like a brand new car and drove almost like one too. (a quick tune up and oil change took out the almost)

As soon as the weather allowed it I started work on giving it all of the love it needed, after a full detailing, steam cleaning of wheels/engine, paint polishing, new set of bumper fillers and some other various additions/repairs, it was gorgeous. The cotillion white paint and saddle color leather interior looked almost flawless, my pride and joy was and is here to stay.

I have taken it too a few car shows and it gets it's fare share of first place trophies, I get compliments all the time on the car's appearance and several people have given me some very attractive offers on it. It has a very majestic look to it and wherever its parked it stands out as if to say "I am the Godfather, bow down."

This is by far the most comfortable car I have ever been it! seriously, Its even the most comfortable Cadillac I've owned, and trust me I've had a few.

And yes the 4.1 liter 135 horse power Cadillac V8 is slow, but come now, did you really think I'd buy a big body Coupe De ville to race? As far a reliability goes I haven't had a problem yet, just don't try to pull any "fast and furious" type stuff and it won't blow up (or whatever people say they will do). Oh and did I mention that I get 20-25 miles to the gallon?

All in all this car has the most class, style, and luxury that I think any American car in the past fifty years has had, and I would not give it up for anything.

So you got the HT4100. Have any trouble with it? They're finicky powerplants, to say the least.

Are these cars smooth? I mean can you glide comfortably over potholes, railroad tracks, and speed bumps? My 1997 Seville, while lacking that majestic look of older Cadillacs, was incredible smooth. I mean SILKY smooth, like glass. I remember riding one of these full bodied Cadillac when it was much newer and not being impressed by the ride at all.

Hi, I'm the guy that wrote the review. in response to the first comment, as the review says I have had no trouble with the engine what so ever, its slow, but it runs like a top. In response to the second comment, yes, it rides the smoothest of any car I've ever been in, I've driven late '90s Sevilles and I think that my Coupe Deville rides much smoother, granted the Seville handles better, but its not as soft.
