2005 Cadillac DeVille DHS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
Nice car for the price. It is a large sedan and handles well for that category. Nice ride and features. Surprised that stabilitrak is not standard on the so called DHS. Plastic pieces seem rather cheaply manufactured. But overall still very much like this vehicle and would certainly buy again.
Favorite Features
Northstar V8, memory seats and mirrors
Suggested Improvements
Better quality manufacturing and more standard features

2005 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is our first Cadillac. We purchased it as a certified pre-owned car at a reasonable price. The warranty and the car have more than exceeded our expectations.
Favorite Features
We love the comfort, performance and XM radio. The ride is outstanding and the car is exceptionally quiet.
Suggested Improvements
Heated seats should be standarded equipment in a car like this.

2005 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
My Cadillac number eight is a pearl white STD edition. It is simply elegant and has ample horsepower. It is a great snow car and it is a nice trip for my ego. I never feel bad in my DeVille. What a wonderful American dream car! It's my love affair and it's be going on for awhile. I really never get tired of owning Cadillacs. Test drive a few of them to find the one that calls your name!
Favorite Features
I love the Bose stereo, the back up beeper is a hoot, the dual climate controls are neat, and the 4.6 Liter NorthStar engine screams.
Suggested Improvements
The power lumbar feature could be better and the seats could be softer and more plush.

2005 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I was looking for a comfortable car as I travel extensively. When I first sat in my DeVille I thought " this is the car". After a short test drive I purchased. Now that I have owned it for two weeks, I would give it back if I could. The front seat are totally uncomfortable. No matter how I set my power seats, I cannot get past the lack of back support. On the highway, I am continually making corrections to my steering due to "floating". I like the appearance, but there are better cars out there. I wish I had purchased the Avalon!
Favorite Features
I like the looks. Great gas mileage for a car this size. I think I average about 24 MPG overall.
Suggested Improvements
Make lumbar support a standard option. Any car selling at this price should have lumbar controls standard.

The car emits a signal when a door is left ajar. I would like to have an automatic full closing feature added. BMW has this feature.

2005 Cadillac DeVille DTS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I had a 1995 DeVille for 10 years which was better designed, and more comfortable than my 2005 DeVille. The bucket seats sink in the middle, with hard edges - 21 inches from front to back -- pressure on sciatic nerve in right leg causing numbness! The seat belts cuts across my neck (I'm 5'5")creating an irritating hazard. The seat belts and side air bags are attached to the seats (very poor design). This is the most uncomfortable car I've ever owned. Cadillac needs to rethink this design! I'd never have bought it, if I had tried it first. It was purchased from an out of state dealer by my dealer. Dealers were out of cars, due to employee discount. Salesmen didn't know that DTS stood for "sport performance" car. Great for the under 40 6' tall guy.
Favorite Features
Handling, very responsive. OnStar. Folding, side view mirrors. Bose sound system. 6 disc CD changer. Front and rear side air bags. Stabilitrak. Regular gas! Telescoping steering wheel. Ultrasonic rear parking assist.
Suggested Improvements
Don't remove the compass from the rear view mirror, just because of the Navigation System! Have to pull off the road and turn engine off to use Navigation System! Eliminate sun roofs in snow country. No one uses them. A potential hazard in a rollover!

2005 Cadillac DeVille DTS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I've only had this car for 2 weeks and Im loving it. I'm 23 years old and had 2 other Cadillacs,a 1993 Eldorado Touring and 1997 Seville STS. I loved both, but not as much as my 2005 DTS. I've had it custom made with power folding mirrors, a power rear sunshade, adaptive cruise control, xenon headlamps with intellibeam, and adaptive remote start. This luxury liner cost me near $72,000, but it was worth every cent. It drives great and filters out the bumps on the New York City streets. It is quiet, roomy, and gives great gas mileage for a V8. I got it in white lightning exterior paint. I'm gonna keep it for a looong time.
Favorite Features
DVD navigation, Bose audio, OnStar, and StabiliTrak.
Suggested Improvements
5 or 6 speed auto and rear wheel drive would be cool.

2005 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This car is a dream to drive. Even though I have only had it for 2 months, I have taken it on several trips out of town. The city mileage could use some help. The only complaint I have is with the poor design of the seatbelts. I am a short person (5'5") and I find that the seatbelt hits me across the neck. It is not adjustable, as it comes out of the top side of the seats. They work fine for my husband, but he is 6'4". In other cars we have owned, you had a slide feature to raise or lower the seatbelt. I have raised my seat, but that is not enough to help. This could be a safety issue if you are in an accident. Other than that I love my DeVille.
Favorite Features
Air conditioned front seats, satellite radio, sunroof, and settings for each driver.
Suggested Improvements
Needs improvement on the seatbelts so they won't run across the neck. I raise my seat, but that still isn't enough.

2005 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Review
My Caddy handles great on the road. It has better gas mileage than my previous Buick Regal. It is very roomy and glides on the bumps. I can accelerate and take the curves. I have made 2 long distance trips. Chicago to Atlanta and Chicago to New Orleans. It was comfortable. The New Orleans trip had 4 adult and one child. It was roomy.
Favorite Features
I love my leather seats and my cup holder in the console. I like the dual climate control. And there is one in the back. I like to sunroof and the memory seats.
Suggested Improvements
I wanted to have a cassette and a CD.
