What a Cadillac is supposed to be!
Southern, 11/30/2008
2008 Cadillac DTS Luxury III 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
Big, strong and comfortable. Quiet. Economical - using regular gas, long oil intervals and all this with a torquey V8. Really well thought out. No "Idrive" or other difficult to understand user interfaces like the competition offers. Has all the toots and whistles including power lumbar with massage! Side radar that warns if something is in the blind zone. Rear and front parking aids. … And a bunch more. Needless to say it is very comparable to more expensive foreign cars, but does some things better. This car just makes you feel good when you drive it.

Batmobile... All Grown-up

2008 Cadillac DTS Luxury II 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
In considering a replacement for my 2004 black Supercharged SS Monte Carlo (Batmobile) I looked for an American made "grown-up" 4 door car. My internet research led me to the Certified 2008 black-on-black Cadillac DTS which I purchased. I am very pleased with my purchase.

9th Cadillac

2008 Cadillac DTS Luxury III 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
My 9th Cadillac is the best one I've owned. I'm old, but I still want the luxury with performance, the Northstar still amazes me, even after three of them. Wind noise of past cars has been minimized. If you are a long time buyer, this could be the cheapest car to own.

2008 Cadillac DTS Luxury II 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This is the most beautiful auto I have ever seen. Everything about its styling pleases my eyes. There is no defect in appearance inside or out. If I had a blank piece of paper, this is what I would design. Several years ago I attended a comparison drive of luxury autos sponsored by Motor Trend Magazine. I was able to test drive the best of Europe, Asia and the US any way I wanted. … Believe me, no expensive import offers anything more than the Cadillac DTS except snob appeal. I had really planned to buy a six cylinder with a six speed transmission. But when I saw this DTS, I couldn't say no.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2009 Cadillac DTS, so we've included reviews for other years of the DTS since its last redesign.
