2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS 4.6 Northstar
Summary:
Comfortable, powerful, good traction with trailers
Faults:
So far nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General Comments:
This car is the ultimate vehicle for any type of driving. It is so nice to sit back at 75mph with the heated messaging seats going. Nobody believes me, but if I drive 55 mph I can get 33mpg on the highway in the flat area I live in and no winds.
I do not have any problems with the engine burning oil, and I know this because I change my own oil every 2,000 miles.
Probably my favorite thing about the car is the great traction. I have a trailer hitch on it and I pull 2 snowmobiles all the time in the winter. I also pull my speedboat in and out of the water with ease.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had a 1996 De-Ville; it never gave me any problems until it hit 264k miles, then the on board computer stated a problem with the tranny. I drove it for an other 15k miles then sold it as-is never fixed it. I then bought a 2001 DHS Arizona edition; It has spent more time at the shop than on the road, I'm truly disappointed (specially after such a good experience). And I hear it only gets worse... all 04 models have several recalls. Oh well, there went an American ICON!
