Our 2008 DTS

2008 Cadillac DTS Performance 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

We owned our third Cadillac on August 31, 2008. Overall the 2008 DTS is comfortable and the engine has a lot of get up ond go. However, 2008 DTS appears to be noiser than my previous 2002 Deville. From the front of the vehicle gear noise can be heard between 25-30mph. release the accelerator and the noise is gone. Below 25 or above 30 mph the gear noise cannot be heard. Suspect the transaxel. The side seat buckles in the back seat are set down too far making it difficult or next impossible for an average size adult to connect the latch to the buckle. Question, have the car companies stopped using undercoat on vehicles?

2008 Cadillac DTS Luxury III 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

I started driving a Cadillac when Oldsmobile stopped building the original Aurora. I travel from Florida to Atlanta, GA and the ride is comfortable, quiet, and smooth, my companion reads a book all during the drive. On one trip my cruise control stopped working, I hit my OnStar button and they made an appointment for me at a dealership near where I was staying. The service manager was waiting for me and the problem was solved. He called me to make sure everything was completed to my satisfaction.That is Cadillac quality and servuce.

I took some of the advice from others on the internet and looked for a car to take long rides in. It is ideal. It is roomy and quiet.
Its 2023 and I just purchased a 2008 DTS

In the way back machine I owned a 2006 DTS that I bought in 2008. It was a great car and I wanted another. With new car prices and interest rates, a new Cadillac was not going to happen. I found a 2008 DTS lux III package for sale with less than 60,000 miles. Has some scratches and needs a good cleaning but the ride is what I recall. Smooth and comfortable. For the year its good mpg. Avg 24 mpg hwy. Quiet with good acceleration and has 80 pct of new car features. Lumbar massage and cooled/heated seats are awesome. Wish Cadillac would have brought the DTS into 2020's.

Absolutely a great ride. Breaking would be my only complaint, but is a large heavy vehicle. Just got to get used to it...

I have had several full size cadillacs including a 2006 prior to his one. The 2006 DTS averaged 25 MPG on the road or better,whereas this one averages closer to 23 MPG, I find this to be quite disappointing, otherwise I am very pleased with the car.

2008 Cadillac DTS Luxury I 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

I purchased a 2008 DTS (double espresso) I like the performance on this one better than the 2004 I traded. The 2004 had better interior and sound system. I like the H.I.D. headlamps, the remote start and quietness on the 08. It could have had nicer rims and higher quality sheet metal. (the trunk and lower rear quarter panels seem very cheap. I don't like the cloth on the side of my seats. It should have had a 2 -tone interior for the $33,006
