STAY CLEAR!Cheap price!
A word of advice. Stay clear of this car. Yes the used car price might be tempting BUT there is a reason why it is so cheap.
I will not list the numeours problems I have with this car, but will only mention the main ones:
1- Battery dies if car left not run for a week or so!
2- Wierd vibration when shifting into 4th gear!
3-Transmission lags. When shifing from N to D it takes longer than usual for the tranny to engage!
4-BAD fuel ecenomy AND LOW performance (272HP????)
and NO my car is not old. It is 2007 with 18 k miles on it.
It is a nice piece of machinary to cherish and KEEP in your garage but if you plan on driving it and using it regulalry, this may not be your best choice!
I was shocked that my problems with this car are actually SHARED by other owners of the same car. The intimate relshionship you will have with the dealer and the frequent visits you will make are probably Cadiallac’s way of saying WE LOVE YOU and we hate NOT to see you every couple of months.

Very good value!
Very good fit and finish. Comfortable, quiet, roomy. Good handeling for size.
Needs a modern 6 speed auto transmision.
Under appreciated value, but depreciation is a detraction. GM seems to have gotten it right on this car. Attention to detail, overall quality, fit, and finish are all very good by any standard. The only technical short comming is the lack of a 6 speed transmision in this price range car. Overall, I prefer the front wheel drive, which is best for 99.99% of real world driving.

CADILLAC–I’M SOLD ON THIS BRAND
I was considering a 2008 purchase. When I compared this to my 2007, I did not notice ANY changes. This is similar to what I experienced previously with the BUICK PARK AVENUE.
I had also driven the following: LEXUS, BMW, MERCEDES, & LINCOLN. By far, CADILLAC is way ahead of these automobiles as far as looks, handling, trunk space, and “gadgets.” This car is absolutely beautiful, and had GM made some noticeable changes, I would be ordering a 2008 CADILLAC DTS iii.
I am going to wait for the 2009’s, at which time, based on my current yearly mileage, my 2007 will have ap-
proximately 30K. I’ll keep this car and will order the 2009 in a different color.
Maybe by then GM will offer a color combination avail-
able ONLY on CADILLAC.

OVERPRICED BUT LOOKS GREAT
Not Bad - better fuel economy with 1990,2002,1980
Price too high better t $34,500 inc onstar and tax
The cars too high-even with rebates dealers get rebate 3-6%. Cars shold be 7 years 100,000 miles warranty. Dealership labor $70.00 a hour too high. Nice looks -ride not that great.
I’ve owned 4 Cadillas including 1974. Best 1974 and 1980 for gas ride - looks dependability. SURPRISED
