Very comfortable, reliable, and surprisingly quick for a Cadillac.
I'm still surprised people call it a "Baby Cadillac". It's not small, or even close, it's just not the biggest car Cadillac has made.
The interior, with the exception of the cup holder, is well thought out and very nicely executed. Nothing feels cheap or plastic like, not to mention, there's a lot of room, comfort and butter soft leather.
It has excellent gas mileage, it averages 28 mpg on the highway and about 15 in town.
The only down side is the gas it likes is premium, but it's a Caddy. Premium is the standard it was built on!
"surprisingly quick for a Cadillac."
- Haven't you heard of the Northstar engine???!!!
They call it the baby Cadillac because it appears smaller than the following generations of devilles. This is due to the crisper lines on the 89-93 devilles. In 94, they made the deville look more bulbussy, and added wheel skirts. I think the 89-93 deVilles are the best years for deVilles ever, asthetically concerned. I have a '92 Sedan deVille with the 4.9V8. I love it :)
About the Northstar comment above, the N* is much quicker than the 4.5, but the 4.5 has a great amount of low end torque, which makes it feel quite fast.
Yes, I've even driven a Caddy with a Northstar, I expected it to have some power, but this is pre-Northstar engine. So I was impressed.

Where is the oil pump on 4.1 liter located and is it hard to get to?
Not sure about the 4.1. I'm running a 4.5. I could be wrong, but there's a chance the pump is in the fuel tank itself. I haven't had to work on mine yet at all, so it's just a guess. You may want to check out a Chilton repair manual at your library. That's what I do for anything I don't want to guess at when I work on a car.

This car is firme.
Premium fuel?? Yes, it's been the standard with this GM make but since 1990, and the car in question here is an '89 model, so the original poster of the review might want to consult the owner's manual. If I remember right, regular unleaded was recommended for 1989 but Cadillac switched to Premium starting in 1990 save for the big RWD Fleetwood and the Escalade.
<<Premium fuel?? Yes, it's been the standard with this GM make...>>
The writer of the above post about premium fuel being standard since 1990 is correct. I remember that myself. The owner of this review might want to consult the car's manual to see what it needs. It seems the owner's manual is by far the most accurate source of information pertinent to automobiles as I've seen discrepancies in other various sources.
