Great Engine, Great Trip Car
A very reliable, comfortable, powerful car that is a good value compared to other luxury cars. It is hard to imagine a better car for a medium or long trip. Lots of comfort features for driver and passengers that make a difference. The combination of Stabilitrack and the Northstar engine make for very good handling and performance. One silly but serious annoyance: Terrible cup holders!!
Good Enough
I brought this car for the sole purposes of road trips. I must say this car fits that role perfectly. The inside is good enough for comfortability. The handling is good enough to handle the tightest curves. Gas Mileage could be better, but on the highway, good enough. When I brought this car, I wasn't looking for the god of all cars, but what I was looking for was a good comfortable ride. That is what I ended up with when I brought my Cadi. Treat the car good and it will treat you good. Should've got a Lexus. If you would have, you would have the same complaints.

Bad Cad Roadburner
Probably too much of a vehicle for most "lite" Americans these days. All 300 horse hit the ground on request. Car hangs flat when flinging around turns to a surprising degree. Beautiful leather seats, nice wood trim. No mechanical problems even with the lead-foot thrashing it endures daily. I live in the Plains and don't spend a lot of time sucking exhaust in traffic jams.
A bittersweet experience
After having the worst experience of my life with Classic Cadillac which was only exceeded by Bill Green a manager at Cadillac Customer No Service who told me "I report to no one". To me the new DTS lacks some features that have been lost since my 92 Deville was built such as good quality working visors, seats that cradle the body and a more comfortable road ride. I also miss the exterior light monitors and the automatic pull down trunk. The $2K Onstar system which I did not order is a joke. The 92 feels considerably more responsive and powerful than the DTS. The DTS also seems to have less rear leg room and trunk space than my 92.
Finally found a great Ameican sedan
Had a BMW 7 series and a 300SD Mercedes before that. Looking for a large, good handling sedan with styling. The DTS is it. Midnight blue with dark gray interior and wood trim package- gorgeous. Powerful, quiet with plenty of room for 4 and their luggage. This is the car for road trips and the interstate. Useful luxury features and did I say good handling. It's not a BMW but hey its 25Gs less and its better looking.
