The reality of these fine cars, is that the market has not been kind to them. But that is a good thing for a guy like me, who is on a budget, and wants a nice, classy car. My 2004 Deville Base cost $35,000.00 + new in '04, but in March, 2015- with 107k on the odometer, it cost me $4,000.00 out the door of the dealer, with all taxes and fees, and smog paid. I have since fixed all the things that were known issues at purchase. I put on new General Altimax RT tires, new cross drilled and vented rotors and ceramic pads all around, and a new heater blower motor. Buying all the parts on Ebay- NEW for about half the price of a local auto parts store... and my costs are at about $5,200.00 YES, I then had a driver's door window regulator failure! EBAY- NEW AC Delco Motor, 61.50, and regulator- 30.99 Labor- 75 bucks. The REAL reason these regulators fail, is because GM used nylon/ plastic guide wheels. If they were made of aluminum, there would have been far less problems. If you encounter regulator failures BUY ON EBAY. I've heard that dealers can charge as much as 500 bucks to replace one. After seeing my mechanic do the job, I know I could do it myself. $168 is quite reasonable, I'd say. A note- the dealer I bought from, was DRIVING this car from Reno, to Tahoe daily.... because he dug it that much. Now, it's my turn. This car, is by far, the most classically 'handsome' Cadillac of the last 30 years, in my opinion. It handles like a sloth. I don't like that so much, as I drove high performance cars all my life. That said- the great angry song of the Northstar V-8 when you 'get on it' is a joy to hear! Mileage so far has been as bad as 18.0 city, and as good as 23+ highway. Haven't taken it on a long highway trip yet. It is about the same as my Nissan Pathfinder. HEY! I bought a Cadillac, not a friggin' hippie Prius! I'm a very big man- 6'-3" and large framed. This is the most comfortable, roomy car I've ever owned. I'm also a bass player. My whole rig, two small speaker cabinets, two bass guitars and stands, a seat, and an amp head fit in the trunk, no problem. I drove this car from Reno to Elko, a four hour trip, both ways, if you do over 80 mph. I did. got 23 mpg., and felt like I was gliding over the road. I now have 117k on it. The driver's side window regulator just failed again! These are just poorly designed units. and apparently, the aftermarket ones are, too.. unless it's something else. I ordered a new regulator. 30 bucks. The motor sounds like it's still working. Left rear door window and locks are inoperative. All the motors and module work fine. It is a short in the harness somewhere. Makes no sense, as the rear doors hardly ever get used. It doesn't affect me, I never need to unlock (I can still do it manually) or roll down that window. I still love the car. A really nice ride.

Bought this sparkling mint charcoal 04 Deville in 2009 for 45% of what it cost new with 55,000 km on it and had never seen rain. Deep tinted passenger and rear window and put on a Corsa aftermarket exhaust to give it a sexy look and sound. 5 yrs later, ive changed the oil, put on a new set of Michelins and kept it garaged. I love cruising in safety and style and this big ol' caddy gives me that. I can't imagine selling it since it wouldn't bring much, and to replace this level of luxury and comfort without laying out large money isn't going to happen. There is something to be said for the looks and manners of this 11 yr old car, and will likely keep it for another 10 years or more.
Fantastic car for the price

This is my 2nd Cadillac and I gotta tell you it's been a fantastic car so far. Paid $5k for an '04 with 106k miles. Talk about a steal. Car has a wonderful, smooth ride and bumps no longer exist. Plenty of room for friends or to just stretch out. Northstar V8 has plenty of power and gets decent fuel economy on the highway. Stereo is great and has plenty of power. Tons of rear seat and trunk space as well... Wow! Styling is conservative yet clean and elegant. Love the LED taillights. Handling... well there isn't so much of that LOL. It's not a Town Car but you can certainly tell you are driving big car. Really enjoying this car so far.
Of the Town.

DeVille, literally translated from French to English means "of the town". All I want to do is drive this around town. Ventilated Cooled Front seats, heated seats, heated steering wheel, XM Radio, OnStar, integrated turn signals in the side mirrors, hands-free calling, And parking sensors just to name a few of my favorite features. I am a 20 year old male and I love LOVE driving this beautiful machine. I am proud to say "That's my Cadillac" My second DeVille and I will buy another Cadillac soon, after all, Cadillac is the new standard of the World, Right?

Ride comfort is a primary concern to me, at 6'3" and about 265lbs. Rides very quiet; handles well. Reoccurring problems have been the power steering, and 3 of the 4 window regulators.

Always drove "big" T-Birds & Buick Park Avenues. I've experienced problems I have never had before. Battewry "blew" up in my garage, ruining large area of concrete. Drivers window went out early & now drivers remote mirror is out & passenger side window went out in down position while out of town in cold weather. I'd rather drive my 05 Grand Cherokee. Gas mileage is definitely good maybebestthing about the Cadillac. I'll be lookimg for a replacement soon.

This car has been an excellent commuter car for me. It was a GM certified vehicle which came with an awesome warranty, the brake rotors were warped at 41,000 mi. and were replaced no questions asked, really the only issue I have had with this car. I love the ride and responsive handling for a big car, the getup and go is great, when it is in cruise control you are literally floating on the road. We have driven this car down south a few times and there is not too many nicer cars to take a trip in and it averaged pretty close to 27.5 mpg. The mileage is reduced to about 18mpg in town but I personally do not do alot of that. Great car.
Love it!

Bought this after my STS engine locked up on me. There is a problem with the security system draining the battery but I worked around that. Aside from that one problem this thing is incredible. Smooth ride, ultra comfortable and the sound system is amazing. I would definitely purchase this again even with the problems.

I never considered Caddy, but always drove big American cars for their comfort, safety and value. Test drove Impalas, Lucernes, Lexus ES and finally this Caddy. Hands down the best family car for the money (especially used). Huge but still handles nicely. Cavernous trunk, very low noise and exceptional stability means great road trip material for the family. Northstar provides great highway performance and very good gas mileage (22-23mpg). Love the simple layout and easy-to-use creature comforts. A couple of issues with window regulators and electrical shorts (all fixed under warranty) marred the otherwise great reliability and consistency. GM better not discontinue this one!

I bought this Car about 6 to 7 months ago when the gas prices were around $ 3.50 to 4 bucks a gallon. So not alot of people wanted this car because it doesnt get the best gas mileage. All I have owned is cadillacs, I love them. They don't hold there value well but you can pick them up at a good price if you really look around. I paid $7,000 total for mine with taxes. at the time its high book value was $11,500. The car does have a little over 100,000 miles but you can't tell by looking at it. For a big car that weighs alot this car will get up and fly, the ride is of course very comfortable. For the money you can't go wrong if you want a big, fast, and luxurious car, That is fun to drive.
Why do you think they call it Cadillac?

I am a fair-sized man about 6ft-240lbs and I have a tall torso. Not every car fits me. It has more acceleration, more creature comfort, and more highway stability than any automobile I have owned. However, the flagship Mercedes-Benz is my absolute favorite this DeVille is a better value dollar- for-dollar-bang-for-the-buck. Yeah. DeVille stinks on initial resale, but I knew that going into this purchase. This is why I buy off-lease, certified Devilles. I travel 65000+- annually and would love to have the fuel economy of a Toyota Prius. However, that is the only improvement I can think of for my 2004 Deville DHS. Nonetheless, I still get about 27 mph- highways, 23 mph-overall and it runs just f

It used to be that all big cars rode and handled like this - including Buicks and Mercurys. Now you have to spend $45K to get that feeling back - shame. Anyway - love my Caddy - a couple of reliability quirks including window and heated/cooled seat problems but they were all covered under the decent warranty. GM's OEM Brakes still stink too but that's easily improved once changed out. Exceptional comfort, safety, security and power are what this great family sedan is all about. Recommended.

After owning for 9 mo a review is in order. This is one of the prettiest cars out there - much nicer than the LS430 (and half the price used). Only the Benz S can compare. Extremely quiet and comfortable, with a silky-smooth ride. Powerful engine delivers smooth acceleration; transmission shifts without jerks (no hunting like the Lexus or Avalon). Bose stereo is just the best. Mileage on the highway is 29.5, while city depends on whether it's warmed up: 16 cold for short trips, 18 warm. Daytime headlights were annoying - had to remove fuse to disable. Nav has helped a lot in strange towns. Occasional whine from a DC-DC in dash. Use the heated/cooled seats a lot. Pearl paint is tops!

I drive a classic muscle car (66 Charger)for fun and I use a daily driver the rest of the time. I picked up my Deville with 32k on the clock for $11,800. Dark Blue with the chrome wheels. This car is fully loaded and clean. It has all the toys except the sunroof and Nav system. This is a great car in all areas. The northstar is a terrific engine. For a large car it handles well. I love all the gadgets it has. Heated and cooled seats. And the heated steering wheel, which I thought was a silly idea until it got cold and I started using it. I don't think I would have paid $45k new for this car. But for the price of a used ex rental fleet Malibu? Gotta have it.

Best highway mileage of all 3 Caddies I've owned. ( 94 Deville and 93 Fleetwood). Great ride, gets positive "looks", black with white trim and white walls. Quiet ride, all options you'd need. Had the water pump go bad at 68k, but other than that. Fine car!

We purchased this Deville three months ago. We got a great deal on it. It has 165,000 miles but it remain is just like new condition inside and out. Runs like a dream. We had to put brakes on it but that is all. We have already driven it a few thousand miles because we do not want to get out of it.

What can I say this car is the Corvette for those of us over 6,5" (6,7") spirited acceleration with a growl of 300 hp and the smoothness of cruising on the highway @80 mph running lo rpm and quiet watching the estimated remaining miles to empty rise, city driving terrible like a big SUV since we have heavy feet syndrome but once on the highway my dts avgs 29- 32 mpg and the light platinum color which is liquid silver if you love your car glows endlessly day or night. A low mileage 32,265 off lease for $20k with tax and a 4 yr extended warranty this purchase cannot be beat, for $5k more or less than the std base deville this beauty is well worth it and only my third Cadillac off lease purchase

This is my first caddy and I am so impressed by everything about this car. It rides like a dream. I was kinda scared to get one because of all the electrical buttons. I thought they would break easily and give me problems, but it seems I was wrong, thank god! I was a Honda man for the past 13 yrs, but after experiencing a deville I'm not ever riding in another Honda again, unless it's to go buy another Cadillac and I need a ride to pick it up LOL.

The engine has very good go with 300 lbs or torque it can move quite well. the air conditioned seats are fantastic no more sweat on a long ride. and the fuel economy is a very good 18- 28 on the highway, to get all this for $20k in a used car as a certified low mile Caddy and bumper to bumper warranty with 0 co pay for 100k miles this is excellent piece of mind.from a highly rated automobile.

I love to drive my 2004 Cadillac Deville DTS. It's powerful 4.6L 300 hp Northstar engine is a highway touring dream. This touring variant of the Deville has the sleekest and sporty styling of any trim for this model year. You feel like a king in this car. It has every option a man could ever want. It even has massaging leather heated front seats! The performance of this car is amazing. When you drive this car down the road, people notice you. Fuel economy is excellent on the highway and poor in the city. Fuel costs are a small price to pay to experience this level of Cadillac luxury. White lightning is my favorite color for this car.

At forty-one, I'm probably younger than the average Deville owner. But with four children and a wife, I needed a vehicle that seated six. Few choices exist outside an SUV or minivan. I recently purchased a used '04 w/ 57k. In the short time I've owned it, I've found it to be comfortable, fun to drive and surprisingly economical. I average 29 mpg highway (around 18 city). The NorthStar V8 & trans are smooth and quite. While I'm not sure I would have paid $40k + for this car four years ago, the poor re-sale value puts it in a class by itself for a used car! I will own other Cadillac's in the future. I'm also fond of the '08 CTS & DTS. However, the new STS styling needs to be bolder.

This is the third Cadillac that I have owned and it is by far the best. I bought this car just prior to retirement as I planned to travel. I am so glad I did, it gives a comfortable ride and drive. I am handicapped and this vehicle lessens the difficulty of the trip. The lack of fuel efficiency is more than compensated for by the ride and superiority of the vehicle. I love this car.

I've only had this car for two weeks, but I think it's going to prove to be the finest auto we've ever owned. It takes you down the road effortlessly and rides like you're floating on air. It has a beautiful design and its black color shines like a diamond! I traded in a low miles '03 Grand Marquis for this '04 DeVille with 21,000 miles on it. I got it for HALF of what a new DeVille would have cost me. I am thrilled with the swap, so far. The power in the Northstar engine is impressive, too. I think this is going to be a great car for us for years to come. Oh, and this is a certified Cadillac and it is fully covered end to end until July, 2010. Beautiful!

The DeVille is a great highway car. It's very comfortable, I'm 6'4" and have plenty of room. It has lots of amenities and is a good value on the used luxury car market. Mine averages 28.2 mpg @ 70 mph which for a car this size is quite impressive. Its 17.6 mpg in city driving isn't to bad either. This car is a vast improvement over my '97 DeVille and I loved that car.

I bought this 2004 lease return vehicle with 30,000 miles on it in the summer of 2004 for less than $25,000. That's Toyota Camry territory. It is quiet, comfortable, and gets 27-28 MPG on the highway. It has a full factory warranty thru 50,000 miles and I bought an aftermarket warranty through 125,000 miles. My wife drive this one while I drive either the '98 Seville with 135,000 miles (another lease return bargain bought 5 years ago) or the '94 Fleetwood lease return with 200,000 miles bought in Dec '94.

I believe these sedans are very underrated. I love my DTS! The only things I would change: I would make an AWD version and the front cup holder (when flipped out) blocks the shifter from shifting into 1st gear. Last week I drove a 2006 DTS, loaded to the hilt. I can actually say I like the interior of my 2004 much better than the 2006. I do like the changes outside for 2006 though.

For the cost, one certainly can buy a better car. Road noise, wind noise and seat comfort should be hallmarks of a luxury car. This car fails each catagory. The Michelin tires are the wrong tire for this car. They wear poorly and are virtually impossible to balance properly. If the car has a problem they can't fix, they treat you like the plague instead of admitting the problem - a fatal GM flaw. Engine is totally underpowered. It does get good gas mileage.

When I purchased my 2004 Cadillac DeVille I was looking for a vehicle that was quiet and fun to drive. I did not want to hear the normal engine and road noise, nor did I want to feel cracks and ridges in the road. This Deville had my attention as soon as I turned the key to start the engine. It is fun, easy and relaxing to drive yet surprisingly responsive when desired. There are many good vehicles available, but I believe this is one of the best and safer cars on the market.

It was no brainer to come back to Cadillac, better ride and milage and better service because you can get service anywhere in U.S..

This is by far the finest autombile I have owned. I have driven Cadillac's since 1990 and find this particular car to be the best. I have not had a single requirement to return to the dealer for any adjustments or correction. This car has the comfort and convenience that my wife and I enjoy. We are both in our 70's. We are comfortable, feel safe and secure and confident in it's performance. The dealer attention during the sale and since has been superior. It is truly a fine automobile.

The car is comfortable and large, terrible paint quality ( fixed under warranty) Still not quite satisfied. tires had to be replaced at 500 miles because of bad vibration. Out of the Cadillacs I have had this 2003 deville seems to be the best feeling. The previous Devilles I have had steered like concrete trucks and left you tired after a road trip. The reason I buy these cars is because my wife likes them. Personally I would prefer a smaller quicker car. I have had 4 Devilles since 1992. and quite frankly the last two a 2001 and a 1998 were real garbage. This 2003 seems to be much improved.

The Cadillasc DeVille is by far the most comfortable car of all on the market. We have physically tried them ALL!! Foreign & American have been tested by this family. Money was not an object but comfort and performance was. We were surprised to end up with the DeVille actually we thougth we were going to pick a foreign car. We are very happy and even the hip young college students in our family want to drive this car. We enjoy the reliabilty, service,comfort and all the extras. We dressed up our car with larger chrome wheels and a fake convertible top to make it look a litle more appealing to us. It looks real sharp.

2003 Cadillac automatic transmission changes gear change ranges erratically. At times it shifts back and forth between two ranges. I find this a poor example, of what is considered a luxury vehicle. I have brought this to the attention of Cadillac and it appears thry have no interest in addressing the problem.

Rear light lenses cannot be replaced if broken. A complete unit must be purchased. This is an extra cost that needs to be addressed.

This car is incredible. The 'real time suspension' is REAL. Northstar engine lives upto 8 year reputation. You could spend millions for an auto and not get anywhere near the product as this vehicle. My only regret is that I could not afford this car 15 years ago!

I am 42 years old,6'3", 220 lbs. I need a comfortable car for business travel. I test drove BMW 5 Series (too small), 7 Series (outrageously expensive and filled with idosynchratic controls and an "I - Drive" computer which is very frustrating to operate). Looked at Lexus - very nice, but about exciting as a bowl of vanilla ice cream (doesn't really stand out as a luxury car - designed in a wind tunnel). The Lexus is highly refined - it's like a Rolex.

Love my new Cadillac which I traded from a 2001 model. The design is similar, but the ride is even smoother and quieter. Sitting in the heated/air conditioned lumbar supported seats is definitely first class travel all the way.

Prior to purchasing my cadillac deville I admired every deville seen on the road. After about a year I visited the dealership just for fun. I had no idea I would return home with my cadillac. I absolutely love everything about it.

Having drove 6 Cadillac Sevilles, I was sold on the Seville until I drove the DTS recently. My lease expired on my 2002 Seville & I had to upgrade to the DTS. The DTS is a great luxury ride with room to spare. The gas mileage is similar to the Seville but the comfort & ride is superior! A hot car for sure.... Cadillac has a winner here for certain!

Yo, Caddy finally made a full-size folks under 40 can enjoy. SWEET! in every way. This is my first Cad ever. 2004-DTS is NO JOKE. Mad power, Sweet sound, Nav, Rear Sonar & Night vision phenomenal. Though SONAR was defective on delivery, Cad. fixed and provided free loaner. Car works well with you for skillful handling, even at HIGH speeds (I know).

This is the nicest car we have ever owned. Had a Cadillac ten years ago that was ok, but this one is outstanding. The only thing they could have done better is provide a little more up-graded interior..ie. window visors look/feel cheap...vanity mirrors look/feel cheap...The car handles great, is a joy to drive and ride in...best cruising car. Roomy/comfortable/luxury...really nice car. Look forward to driving it all the time. We got the Bose stereo system..outstanding...and OnStar is worth every penny...this car practically drives itself.

It considered big, but it handles like a sports car. The ride is magic -- quiet and smooth with seats you could use in your den. Being able to use regular gasoline is an extra considering gas prices today and the gas mileage is exceptional for such a luxury car. It's also stylish and eyecathing if you are interested in that

My DTS is the first Caddy I purchased. Have owned Lexus in the past, and feature for feature there is no comparison. The DTS lopes effortlessly at 80mph, the Northstar is a fabulous powerplant and for such a large and heavy car, it goes like a bat outta' hell. The stabiltrak works well, the on-board computer system is excellent, the seats are extremely comfortable. I use the car for long distance driving and have never driven a finer vehicle on the highway. It has also proven to me that it is once again cool to drive a Caddy!

WE HAVE A 2000 DTS AND A 2003 , THE 2000 HAS OVER 90,000 MILES , YET TO HAVE THE FIRST PROBLEM. WE HAVE A BMW 740 , GREAT CAR BUT THE DESIGN CHANGE FOR 2003-2004 AND THE PRICE TAG MAKES THE DTS A STEAL IN THIS LEAGUE.ONLY ONE COMPLAINT....THE FRONT DOORS ARE VERY HEAVY AND WANT TO CLOSE ON THERE OWN BEFORE YOU GET SEATED...IF YOU LIVE WITH THAT....YOU WILL LOVE THE DTS...NEW OR A GOOD USED ONE...IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.....CHUCK....

This is my fifth deville, and find the dhs to be a nice car to drive. I am disappointed that they did away with the white diamond paint. Also, the craftmanship is poor, in that the body panels don't fit properly. When will gm catch on. Overall, the car is nice, but way overpriced for what you get. My next car may be a toyota.

I've been a car buff all of my life and believe me,this is a sleeper of a machine. The DTS is well worth the money. Plenty of leg room in front and back.The seats are extremly comfortable. Trunk space is very good.Sound System is on par. The ride is very comfortable ,yet firm. The active handling system literally smooths out curves. The body roll in a sharp and fast turn is hardly noticable. The engine is an engineering and build masterpiece. I'm not kidding. It's a VERY responsive powerplant. Moves this Caddy along equal to,or in most cases,better than,the most nimble of vehicles on the road in it's class....I love driving this car !

The ride quality of the Deville cannot be matched by any European maker. Lexus is in the ball park, but cannot give the overall comfort. Lexus still cannot build a comfortable back seat. Quality and service back up this world benchmark vehicle. How do they keep the price so reasonable? P.S. On a recent trip from Pittsburg to Sarasota my Deville got 30 mpg! I am thru with harsh riding, overpriced nameplates from Europe.

My wife and I just bought our first Cadillac and couldn't be happier. I should also mention we are both under 35 yrs old and live on the east coast. We could have bought a BMW, Lexus or Mercedes, but they didn't come close to the DTS in features, comfort and power. And as far as "lacking the upscale image of its competition" as mentioned in the editor's review, I rather blaze my on trail then follow the herd with their plasticimports.

I have been driving Cadillacs since High School (Grad 1980). I am really excited about the changes Cadillac has been making in styling, technology and quality. I recently bought my first brand new car - 2003 Deville DTS. I love everything about the car - power, handling, comfort, accessories, ect - except the parts of the interior which feel cheap.
