Faults:

There have been very few problems with the car so far, quite simply the only problems are that the original AC unit does not work and has been set up with a control switch under the steering wheel that was installed by the previous owner, and the gas gauge has stopped working entirely.

The original paint-job has chipped in a few places, and the vinyl roof has been cracked and weathered.

General Comments:

Right off the bat the car felt like it was made for me, this car is my first car and it will remain so as long as it continues to run. The handling is smooth and the engine runs smoothly.

The inside of the car is spacious and very comfortable, the original leather interior has remained intact during the duration of my ownership of the vehicle. The trunk space is just as spacious as the cabin.

For being such a large car, the vehicle is surprisingly economical as far as MPG.

General Comments:

I love this car. I cannot say enough about how this baby rides. Too bad I've had less than good luck with it. I'm actually a mechanic, and replaced everything on my own, but things in a 30 year old car tend to wear out.

I got the car from my grandfather with none of the problems listed above. I drove it for 4 months with 0 problems and then my whole world came crashing down. The car is so slow. I have honestly never driven a slower car, but there's something about being in that car that makes you in no hurry. I enjoy cruising at snail speeds.

The 4100, the notorious Cadillac failure has been all to well to me. She's strong as an ox. Boasting an impressive compression test reading of 165psi per cylinder, she's almost brand new.

All in all, if your getting a Cadillac, Do not get the V4V6V8 version of the 4100. Make sure that engine stays cool. The engine is aluminum and a metal head gasket is in between. If you let her heat up, she will chew up your block and heads. If you're not a mechanic you'd better have a thick wallet.
