This Year's Model Updates:

The DeVille receives a significant batch of updates for 2006, and Cadillac has renamed it the "DTS." Highlights include new front and rear sheet metal and fascias, a new interior, improved chassis components and a strengthened structure.

Pros:
  • Spacious and comfortable cabin, admirable handling for a sedan of its size, easy-to-use DVD navigation system.
Cons:
  • Lacks the upscale image of its competition, interior materials should be better for the price.

  • Delighted - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    Were delighted with our 2006 Cadillac DTS and would gladly do it again. It has a large trunk for hauling gifts to children and grandchildren was an important feature for us and this car delivers on that. Weve been surprised and delighted at how good the gas mileage is on the highway - 27+ mpg. Everything about the car has been great, and it compared extremely well price-wise and feature-wise to other luxury cars.

  • Disappointed - 2006 Cadillac DTS

    I waited months for my 2006 Cadillac DTS Luxury. It replaced my 2004 DHS. I have had a new Cadillac every 12-18 months since 1988. I am disappointed with the 2006 DTS. Is Cadillac trying to make the DTS a sport car? Big tires and rims = a poor ride. Here are some other things I dont like: The gas tank is too small. The fule door does not lock remotely. The fuel cap holder is too low on the filler door, allowing the cap to rub against the body. There is no memory on the electric tilt wheel, no pass-to-flash unless headlights are on. The arm rest on the drivers door is too low. Also, whats with the chrome door lock knobs sticking me in the arm? This car has poor workmanship, a gap in the caulk around trunk resulted in trunk well full of water.

    The exterior design of my 2006 Cadillac DTS is exceptional. The exterior color options are good as well as interior colors. Its handling is better than the previous DeVille models. The XM satellite radio is tremendous and the heated and cooled seats are exceptional.

    I am an owner of a 2004 C5 Corvette and rented a 06 DTS while I traveled to Pennsylvania. I cant believe how much I fell in love with this car! It was really hard giving back the keys at the airport and I even looked back one more time before going into the entrance. I must have looked over at the wife 40 times while driving it and I kept saying "oh man, I love this car...we have to get one". Cadillac definitely has a winner on their hands and I hope one ends up in mine. The ride is smooth yet not to sloppy like the land boats of yesteryear. The power is delivered smootly and with total assurance by the hearty V8 engine. We had two HUGE suitcases and other bags and the trunk swallowed them with ease.

  • Sweet Ride - 2006 Cadillac DTS

    My other car is a 2003 Corvette so when I say Im impressed by my new DTS Performance Edition it should mean something. Ive only put about 3,000 miles on it so far but I love this car! Its excellent handling and punchy V8 are a pleasant surprise in a car as large as the DTS. If youre looking for a car in this catagory youve got take a DTS out for a test drive.

  • How to mess up a great car - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    Without a doubt this is one of the finest autos I have ever driven. But, I cannot understand why so many details were installed hastily just so that they could hurriedly put the car into production. The glove box for instance is no comparison to my old 02. Most of the interior is plastic. This is not what you would expect in a $50,000 car. The consol is about useless. There is no longer a light under the hood. Mine has a heated stearing wheel that does not heat. It has so many buttons to press that after three months I do not know what many of them are for. The easy exit seat is easy exit but not easy entrance. The doors dificult to close. Also, amazingly this car does not have a locking gas door.

  • 2006 Cadillac DTS Performance - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    After owning this car for one week I can truly say that it exceeded my expectations. It performs better than I anticipated, and the ride and luxury are pure Cadillac. The fit and finish are perfect, and the powerful sound of the 4.6 litre engine is great. I have been driving performance luxury cars for years, but this car gives me the room, comfort and the performance combination that I have been searching for. The 18 inch chrome wheel option is a must. The front and rear views of this car are great and the profile gives a nice clean look. I chose light platinum for the exterior and shale interior. The 291 hp matched with the 3.71 differential gives the car a lot of mid range power, 3,000 to 4,000 rpm.

  • Great Car - 2006 Cadillac DTS

  • DTS Delivers - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    The 2006 DTS is a prestigious work of art that is an "eye catcher" and is worthy of the attention it gets. It is fashioned to rival the Asian and European luxury automakers. The DTSs design is an improvement over the previous DeVille, having improved handling and design.

  • Just Test drove this car - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    I own a 2003 DTS, which was in for service. I love the car and have no problems. My 2003 is cetified so the dealership gave me a new DTS to drive while they were working on it. This is a very nice car! At first I did not like the look, or feel but as I drove it I noticed how quickly it repsonded to my touch, it handles great and is very fast. I went to pass on the highway and was doing 75, within seconds I was hitting 95! This is a fast big sedan! When I got my 2003 back, my first thought was how much can I get on a trade?
