1995 Cadillac DeVille Reviews, Pricing & Specs

An "American Class Act" ! (especially coming from that era) It Has Beauty, Style, Presence, Performance, Substance, Understated (not ostentatious) Luxury, & Elegance. On the road, she is stately, yet responsive..... substantial, but not overtly so. Seems to me to be the perfect sporting luxury compromise - for the price of admission! It worked then, and apparently, still works for me today....Apr 21, 2013

Actually, the Northstar is an excellent engine. It closely resembles a smaller and detuned version of the LT5 that was in the Corvette ZR-1. All aluminum, 32 valve DOHC, 100,000 miles before first tuneup. 300bhp NA horsepower. There are guys taking these motors and putting 20+ psi of boost through them on stock internals. With regular fluid changes (Synthetic oil, & proper aluminum coolant), this motor should be virtually bulletproof.Apr 13, 2013

I have the 4.9L Cadillac engine - The 4.9L is easy to maintain and was to be the last engine actually made by Cadillac. I enjoy driving my 1995 Deville; it is comfortable and fairly quiet on the road. Once used it as daily transportation to and from work - 100 miles round trip! Averaged around 20 - 22 mpg - this is a V8; not a V6! Today, it is still my favorite car to drive. :) Change the oil and take good care of your Cadillac, and in return it will give you many years of excellent service. Example of some things you may see - your instrument panel one day says "Service Ride Control" and you had just purchased tires. The tire place needs to align the sensors or replace one of the wheel sensors (or just do it yourself)Feb 01, 2013

Performance - The thing is a tank and performs as such. It accelerates at a good fair speed for weighing as much as it does. Stops quickly and handles with long turns very well, but don't expect a track car. Build Quality - It is built as you expect a Cadillac to be. I have only needed on repair, a new window motor. Appearance - I have been told it is a "Grandpa Car" and it looks as such, but I like it. Cost of Ownership - This thing drinks gas, but with a 4.9L V8 what can you expect. Fun Factor - It is by far the most fun cruise car. I put a new stereo and subwoofers in and it is just the best thing to drive with all the windows down.Jul 06, 2011

This was my mom's car but it I put more miles on it than her so it may have well of been mine. My grandparents got new Caddies every few years so I grew up with a respect for the quality and comfort of these cars. However, Caddilac entered a new era with the introduction of the Northstar OHC V8. That motor was a masterpiece of automotive engineering and it is a shame to hear that it is being fazed out for a V6 dominated line. This car has power to spare, an unbelievably smooth ride, and responsiveness that you would not expect from a car this large with such a smooth ride. The car also has surprising good fuel economy for its class and performance level. It actually had comparable real world MPG to my Hyundai Sonota (but it requires Premium so that must be factored into driving costs). The car rarely requires any repairs or unusual maintenance. It was built for to be reliable for years with minimal maintenance. I really enjoyed this car, especially for road trips or hauling people around. Sep 01, 2008

The 1995 Cadillac Deville is probably one of the best luxury sedans ever made. It has the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, performance, and space. You haven't truly lived until you drove this car, that's why old people in Florida buy them before they die. Compared to the European luxury sedans, it's just a little sub-par, but with a price tag that's half of the others and the easy maintenance and repair of an American car, it's reigns supreme. Every household in America can and SHOULD have one in their garage or driveway. On the street, the ride is very smooth, with a computer-controlled air ride suspension, and coupled to a 4.9 liter V8, there is plenty of power. Even overtaking at 80 MPH on the highway is a breeze. The leather and carpet is plush, and the optional Bose system is stellar. When you drive, it commands respect and looks from other motorists from not only it's design, but rich, paint job, alloy (optional chrome) wheels, and chrome trim, especially the hood ornament, which has been a victim of theft in the past because other people want this car so much. If you are still doubting, I would like to state that I bought this car USED with 91K miles for a mere $6200 and so far it's been great. No major problems besides regular maintenance and part replacements, and it still has the new car smell. This is the type of car that people will only part with unless they're trading it in for a newer Cadillac Deville. After test driving it for 10 minutes, I promised myself not to drive anything but Cadillac ever again.Apr 26, 2008
