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.

  • Nice Car, but the Exterior Design Needs Help - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    I started owning Cadillacs in 2000 and loved the exterior design of the DTS models from 2000-2005. I bought a 2006 in anticipation that it would be better, however in my opinion it is worse. It has very shallow cup holders. I have spilled several cups of coffee since owning the car due to this issue. It also is a bit noisy during hard acceleration, but the cruising noise level is fine. It has some torque steer at highway speed when you floor it because it is front wheel drive, which I find annoying. The OnStar system is excellent and the fact that you can use your Verizon cell phone numbers with it is a nice feature.

  • Problem with Battery Recharger - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    My vehicle is 14 months old (5,350 miles) and when driven, its a dream. However, one day after 11 months of driving, it would not start in mid-town NY. It was then "repaired" by a dealer. One and a half months later, the same thing happened. Again, it was repaired (it took 5 days) by the same dealer. Last night, after midnight (less than 3 months from "Repair Job #2), it wouldnt start again. The motor didnt even turn over. Then, 40 minutes later, it started up! This lack of reliability is insane and is the reason that Im getting rid of an otherwise great looking/driving automobile.

  • Finally a Real Winner - 2006 Cadillac DTS

    I love to drive this car. After having several Cadillacs, none of them came close to this one. Its room, comfort, and performance are all up there and its priced right!

  • 2006 DTS w/Performance Package - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    As a former Eldorado owner, the size of the DTS took a while to get used to. With the performance package it handles well for a car of its size and it still rides well. It has the best suspension for this car - Ive driven both styles. The interior is typical Cadillac high quality. The downside of the interior is the cup holders. They are too shallow to really really hold cups or bottles, especially during turns or braking. I had issues with the original dealership and Cadillac introduced me to another dealer for any required maintenance or warranty work. Cadillac has excellent customer relations. I like the OnStar system. My next car will be an STS-V.

  • 2006 DTS Potential Buyers Beware - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    I love the car and the way it handles. You just cant beat the ride of a Cadillac, but...buyer beware. They do not retain their value at all. I was going to trade it in after one year to take advantage of Cadillacs recent incentives and the dealer had the nerve to only offer me $24,000 trade in on a car that I paid $55,000 for. I would never buy another one based on the extremely poor value retention. Youd be better off to look at an Audi or a BMW, something that will maintain its value more

  • DTS Hard Under Legs - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    The drivers seat in my DTS is very uncomfortable. The premium leather has a rough finish and the seat cuts my legs under the thighs. This car also tends to over steer.

  • Cadillac - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    This is the best car I ever owned. It has a great ride, handles well, and has lots of extras that make driving more fun.

  • A Luxury Car that is Undervalued - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    Ive owned many luxury cars and find this years Cadillac DTS to be a great value for the money. It rides great, has good design details, and its fit and finish are greatly improved, offering a comfortable ride with plenty of room and cargo space.

  • Great Car - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    This car is great! I love this car. It has good get up and go. It rides like a dream and is very comfortable inside.

  • 2006 DTS Review - 2006 Cadillac DTS
    By -

    I truly love my DTS. Its exterior design is great for me. Its interior comfort / design are also very nice. My wife loves the seats and interior layout. I had to take into the dealer two times, once for air noise in the sunroof and once when the windshield washer didnt work. Both were easy fixes, but a car that is less than one year old, shouldnt have problems. ITs gas milage is just OK, I average 22.8 mpg in mixed hwy/city driving. The engine does rock when needed and the ride is smooth and comfortable.
