Overview & Reviews

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.

• Spacious and comfortable cabin, admirable handling for a sedan of its size, easy-to-use DVD navigation system.

• Lacks the upscale image of its competition, interior materials should be better for the price.

  Rides like a Caddy - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By overlandbpc - April 19 - 1:03 am

  This is my 7th cadillac. A fine American car. I do question if you guys know what trim level your car is. Most of you are Luxury III, or Performance???? I didnt think they made that many with those trims. Might want to check your trim level again. 1sd is a Luxury III There were only 11,146 of those built. Far fewer Performance were built 1se is the performance package. Anyhow its a great car. Reliable, fast, and smooth. Ive owned the car now for 6 years and have put a little over 50k on it without an issue. Japanese/German cars are over rated. If your an American buy something made here. Keep jobs here. Our cars were built by good Americans in Hamtramck Michigan

  Great Car with Some Exceptions - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By chief07 - February 16 - 6:45 pm

  I just recently purchased 2006 Dts with 60k on it got it for only 12,000. This car was babied all its life. Anyways, It is very comfortable and reliable to drive. The only issue I am having is a slow leak in my front pass tire and the hub/wheel bearing is making my abs/traction lights go nuts while im driving. Other than that the car starts up everytime and drives as smooth as can be. Also my driver headlight flickers on and off. The new dts is more stylish and sleek and the interior is beautiful...if anyone knows why my abs/traction lights go nuts let me know. I replaced the front pads and rotors when I purchased and thats the only repaid I had to do so far!!

  NOT YOUR GRANDFATHERS BOAT - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By NORTHSTAR GUY - October 20 - 9:21 am

  Just traded my 04 Deville - which I loved but wanted to upgrade. The 06 DTS is chock full of features and is tuned much differently than the previous model. Feels more Euro and has a throatier exhaust and more road feel. Seats are way more supportive. Solid as a rock though and is still a wonderful example of what makes big American cars different from the rest

  Will buy again - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By GARYSL - September 21 - 7:23 pm

  I bought my DTS Performance with much trepidation after years of Toyotas and Volvos. After almost 4 years with the exception of the brakes and gas mileage I couldnt be happier. Other than a very minor complaints this car has been exceptional! I have read many complaints about the factory tires and after 37,000. miles mine are just fine with regular rotation and correct pressures I believe they will easily reach 60k. Ill be very happy if they greatly improve gas mileage and add a 6 speed transmission. Its my sincere hope that comfort is not sacrificed for handling as I find the DTS handles extremely well with the various electronic handling augments.

  Great Car - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By judy - February 1 - 1:12 pm

  Purchased this vehicle after having a 20002 Cadillac with only 60,000. Really liked the styling. A problem that I continue to have is the tire monitoring system. Had 2 sensors replaced and am having problems again. Just cannot keep the sensors operating properly. Only other problem was the electrical system went dead one day. Overall, a lovely car to drive. I get very good gas mileage (27-29) on long trips. In town, normally 20-21. Love the car.

  Embarrassed - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By JONES199 - August 13 - 11:27 am

  I am embarrassed I like this car do much. Looks great, mileage is surprising, the cooled seats are off the chart. My friends all make fun of me for driving the "old mans car" until they rise in it. I now get stuck driving lots of places. The Cadillac dealership however could learn from the high end imports.

  Would not start - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By Jerry G - April 11 - 4:29 pm

  Would not start AGAIN. This is the 3rd time since we bought it. It goes back to the dealer and on the 1st time he said we left something on. According to the owners manual everything is supposed to shut down after 10 minutes. 2nd time they could find nothing. They still have it for the 3rd. time today. It remains to be seen what the problem may or may not be. Also lots of luck calling 1 800 Cadillac to get it started. The first 2 times they sent a qualified starting service, not today. This guy was not equipped to start a car that was still in the garage.

  Nice Car, but the Exterior Design Needs Help - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By stevo - March 18 - 10:03 am

  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 wnelson - March 9 - 8:32 am

  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.

  2006 DTS Potential Buyers Beware - 2006 Cadillac DTS
  By John - December 28 - 7:53 pm

  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
