jacobson's DTS review

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.

Bought my 4th Cadillac. '94 Deville had 175,000 miles; '99 Deville had 130,000; '05 DHS had 110,000..just got '08 DTS...these are true road warriors that have given this road warrior almost 1/2 million comfortable; safe miles...had a Lincoln in between the '99 and '05 Caddy...not even close to Caddy ride. When I got my first one I was only 44..below average demographic..love the comfort; acceleration; and handling..not interested in overrated and overpriced German or Japanese..Caddy packages all options neatly..takes me 20 minutes to buy my car..always get the White Diamond..keep building these.

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.

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...
