Faults:

I got this car last year, first time owning a Caddy, and will be the last.

I understand that owning an older vehicle can always mean running into a few repair costs. However the way this car ages, is like dog years.

It leaks water from the front side passenger floor, and not just a bit, like water will pour onto the floor creating a river.

The heated seats stopped working. Checked the fuses to no help.

The heater/air only works for the driver, for example, if it is cold out and you turn up the heat, cold air will blow on your passenger, and in the summer, if you have the air on, hot air will blow on your passenger!

Front suspension is dangerously soft (but that is one thing that I can understand being an older car).

Fuel consumption seems a bit much, and I have owned V8's before.

Sun roof started sagging in the back corner, but does not leak water, just looks bad.

Power steering stops working in a parking lot; if I don't apply a lot of gas, the power steering becomes strong arm, really difficult to park a big Caddy.

Faults:

Front rotors warped and replaced at 54,000.

Front brakes replaced at 54,000.

Brake wear sensors replaced at 54,000.

Serpentine belt replaced at 60,000.

Battery replaced at 65,000.

Radiator, water pump, hoses, and water pipe replaced at 95,000.

Spark plugs and wires replaced at 105,000.

Drivers side rear window stopped working at 110,000.

Rear tail light fuse blown at 120,000.

Rear trunk backup lights, running lights, and license plate lights wire broken at 120,000.

General Comments:

Great car, but has some electrical issues occasionally. Had a coolant leak, which turned out to be cracked radiator and worn water pipe that runs behind the engine, and had worn.

Driver's side rear window stopped working at 110,000. Cleaned connection between B-Pillar and passenger side door to resolve.

Latest was broken rear trunk backup, running and license plate lights. Turned out to be broken wire at driver's side trunk hinge. Spliced an additional 6 inches of wire to re-connect.

Michelin 100H tires seem to be the best for this car.

Need to replace front wheel bearings at 120,000.

Faults:

Right front suspension parts replaced shortly after I owned the car.

Anti theft system is unreliable in terms of false alarm. With some sunshine on the car in summer, the alarm is triggered because of an unknown reason.

High pressure power steering line replaced at 78000 km.

Poor quality standard, blank alloy which deteriorates in winter salty conditions.

General Comments:

Superb car, simply reliable, specially the all so hated overkill on electronic gadgets, things which go all so wrong on many European car makers.

I would advise to take the V8 4.6 Northstar, because of the V8 sound (is that important? Well yes off course it is..) and the Magnetic Ride Control Suspension. The 3.6's suspension is very firm, unless you like this behavior, well I don't.
