Smooth High End Ride

2009 Cadillac DTS 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

The Cadillac 2009 DTS remains a high performer for use luxury cars. I purchased mine in 2014 with only 17 thousand miles on it. I now have 55 thousand miles (which is still low.. I garage it in the winter and use my AWD SUV) However it is still a joy to drive. I have friends who have luxury foreign Brands and they compliment me on the quietness and smooth feel of the ride. Features like heated and cooled seats and moon roof are timeless. I have had to put about $3000 worth of maintenance work over the last four years but that seems like a bargain for an eleven year old car. Knock on wood. North Star engines are powerful, responsive , and dependable however my previous Cadillac’s developed leaks at about 100,000 miles. So far, no problem with this vehicle. I certainly recommend it. Well built, Good fit and finishes.

Just picked up an 08 DTS, I was driving a Dodge Ram. I've always had Trucks because I'm a big guy (6'5" 270lbs), so I need a lot of leg room. The bouncy, loud and overpowering ride of the trucks had to go. The DTS offers plenty of room, power, comfort, and it's just a nice looking car. If I had to compare ride of the DTS. Think if you spent 30 year sleeping on the floor, and you just got a top of the line pillow top (King Koil Matress). You sleep would never be the same you wouldn't want to get out of bed. That's what driving the DTS feels like. Comfort and smooth ride like you wouldn't believe. A++

Cadillac does not repair problems

2010 Cadillac DTS Premium 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

I had a 2009 Cadillac DTS and the driver side windshield washer would not wet down the upper windshield and deposited the water in bulk right in front of the driver view through the windshield. The passenger side washer/wiper worked perfectly. Cadillacs replaced two wiper arms to no avail. I reported this to Cadillac and in 6 months I was told an engineer would call me. still waiting after the case was closed twice and reopened. I test 6 new 09 and 2010 DTS Cadillac and they all do not work . Traded the Cadillac DTS for a Lincoln MKs. got three time more features, more luxury and a better driving automobile. no more Cadillacs in my garage.

Under Rated

2010 Cadillac DTS Luxury 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)

While I have nothing against the foreign models, the repair costs for a Benz are high. I have an 06 DTS with 36M and the car is great. Good build quality. A great highway cruiser. It seems like the press is locked in the 80s calling the car a floater for handling etc. The DTS does everything expected of it with class. The engine and trans are bulletpoof. Local transmission shop says they never see the Caddy trans for overhaul. The post-05 seats are excellent and fit 6 footer. The car is no more heavy than Lexus. The DTS design could use a freshening with some GM money. But I have no complaints and have been pleasantly surprised at how competent the vehicle is.
