Have had and still, Suburbans for years. Instead of trading for another this time, decided to keep and get a sedan. This Cadillac has same features as my Suburban, but is a much more comfortable and quiet ride. Great power in the Northstar engine, plenty of passenger room, huge trunk very nice interior. Fuel pump went out in first week but 90 day warranty and dealer contribution took care of it. Ecpensive to repair, so consider an extended warranty taking into cosideration miles on car purchased and warranty limits.

Compared to my 07 Town Car

I've found my Town Car superior to the DTS in almost every way except: pedal position, ride, brake feel, and power (DOHC in DTS vs SOHC 4.6 L in TC). DTS engine is noisy and expansion joints cause booming throughout the structure. TC's body on frame is quieter with much less road noise. DTS steering is too firm making small corrections difficult without yanking the wheel. DTS: no locking fuel filler door; no trunk lid pull down; no trumpet horn; FWD; occupants sit too low; seems like a mid-sized car when compared to the TC. Town Car: rides too firmly; accelerator and brake pedals too close together and too far to the right; engine not as responsive as in DTS; RWD.

Very Disappointing

I always dreamed of owning a Cadillac. Now, I own a DTS and my dream is broken. I drive for Uber and looked at Lincoln Mkx,Town Car,Chrysler 300 and the DTS I selected the DTS based on back seat size and FWD.The car is comfortable and the FWD works well. However, this car rides like crap.The front end bottoms out over the slightest bump in the road. I took it to the dealer to ask about this and they told me that a lot of DTS owners complain about this problem and they told me there was nothing I can do to improve the ride. This is the worst driving car I've ever owned.

Replaced string of Brake lights on trunk 2 time no cost to me. Replaced water pump at 6500 miles $900. 74000 miles oil leak was told the North Star engine was notorious for this by dealer $3000. Power steering leaking 1500. to fix. Lights on dash flicker all the time.
