  9th Cadillac - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By caddyclassic - February 18 - 8:04 am

  My 9th Cadillac is the best one Ive owned. Im 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.

  Our 2008 DTS - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By L. Tong - December 10 - 9:52 pm

  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?

  What a Cadillac is supposed to be! - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By Southern - November 29 - 10:03 pm

  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.

  American Beauty - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By TomK - November 20 - 8:38 am

  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 couldnt say no.

  American luxury - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By Don - October 21 - 12:54 pm

  Great car. Handles better than the 05 Deville I traded. Smooth power from the V-8 with decent mileage for the size of the car. I get 26 mpg on the Hwy. Comfortable and quiet ride in American luxury tradition, yet still decent handling. Good value for the money.

  No Quality Control - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By Bart - September 29 - 10:00 am

  Car is comfortable and handles well for a large car. Car has been in the shop, at 500 mi and at 2000 mi, for drivetrain and electronics problems. Paid $55K + for this car and was not offered a loaner car by this dealership while the car was in their shop. This will be the last American car that I purchase!

  American Luxury Car - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By Ralph - June 28 - 9:06 am

  I traded a BMW 745 for a Cadillac DTS. The Cadillac lacks some of the more sophisticated technology of the BMW but it is easier to maintain, it rides beautifully, and is easy to get serviced. Consumer Reports recommended this car for reliability in part because it dispenses with some of the cutting edge technology and, instead, provides reliability and a more affordable price. The large trunk and back seat and good for carrying more passengers and luggage. We use this car as a road car for longer trips. It takes regular gas, parts are easy to get and there is an extensive dealer network. GM has done an excellent job with this car.

  My new one - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By aboutmuny - June 22 - 6:35 pm

  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 dont like the cloth on the side of my seats. It should have had a 2 -tone interior for the $33,006

  Owners first ride - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By Don - May 26 - 7:34 pm

  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.

  American--and proud of it - 2008 Cadillac DTS
  By JFS777 - March 31 - 10:13 pm

  My Platinum DTS runs rings around the 2000 S-Class I traded in. Couldnt believe what Mercedes wanted for a new one! Are they kidding? Definitely not worth it. The Caddy gives me everything the M-B did--at over twenty grand less. The ventilated seats are great. My next new car will again be wearing the wreath-and-crest and not the three-pointed star.
