Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Cadillac DTS returns largely unchanged, except for the loss of last year's Performance model.

• Roomy and quiet interior, cushy ride, huge trunk.

• Unimpressive performance and handling, hard to park, so-so crash test scores, some interior materials look/feel subpar, lacking some modern technology features.

  Very Disappointing - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By 1george - April 29 - 10:14 pm

  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 Ive ever owned.

  From Avalon To DTS - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By devdon - April 7 - 9:06 am

  I have now had my DTS for 2 years (23,000MI). I think I have experience enough now to say, having owned a 09 Avalon previously....there is no comparasion. The Avalon is far superior. The gentlemen that said there is no comparasion has apparently not driven the Avalon. My DTS started with front wheel balancing problems. After ordering 2 sets for me it still feels that Im driving it unbalanced. And it took several attempts to get them to do that. Fit and finish both interior and exterior are sub-par. Road and wind noise is pronounced and the engine noise is extremely annoying. The only reason I can see why anyone would buy one is the "name". That was my reason..mistake.

  Above the Rest. - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By al_01 - February 10 - 11:45 pm

  This is absolutely an eye catcher of a vehicle. The ride is smooth and very quiet. Handling if very good and responsive. The cabin area both front and rear has more than adequate room. Our friends could not believe how roomy and stately this car is. The chrome wheels really enhances the silver DTS. I previously owned a Lincoln Town Car and this DTS is far superior both in roominess and handling. DTS interior is by far more rich looking. Has an awsome stereo system. My wife and I will definetly purchase another Cadillac. We are very satisfied and throughly enjoy riding in our DTS. MPG on the road is 20 and in town 16. We are statisfied with this.

  DTS vs Avalon - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By dino29 - January 1 - 9:06 pm

  What are the editors drinking or inhaling comparing the Avalon to the DTS? I just completed test driving both vehicles multiple times starting out w/an open mind - The Avalon rides like a little & lighter car compared to the DTS. The trunk is significantly smaller on the Avalon & it just doesnt have the ride quality of the DTS. The overall appearance is that of a much cheaper vehicle, which the Avalon is. I was very surprise when I looked at the expert review & found these two vehicles being compared as peers. The DTS is significantly more of a luxury vehicle in nearly all respects. This notion that not having a six speed trans somehow lessens the vehicle is hogwash.

  Outstanding! - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By idaspaceman - December 22 - 10:25 pm

  I test drove the Lincoln MKS, Buick Lacrosse, Lucerne, and the Lexus E350. Hands down the DTS was a superior engine and ride., and luxury items to either be on par or superior. Everyone will have pros and cons...but at the end of the day it was an easy decision for me. I know there will be some who will say its a Grandpa vehicle...call me old, but there is nothing like the ride and luxury of a Caddy.

  Compared to my 07 Town Car - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By kgm0001 - November 29 - 2:00 am

  Ive 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. TCs 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.

  Poor Build Quality - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By Bob - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Ive had the DTS for 3 months now. I love everything about it except the build quality. Ride is spectacular. Interior build is just good. Inside window molding is lose and has a gap where you can see the edge of the window. The outside is where the build quality looks bad. Trim on doors does not line up. Doors themselves do not line up. Doors either hang higher or lower than the front or rear doors. Trim inside the trunk fell off as it was never snapped on. Transmission leak at 1000 miles (Bolts had to be sealed). GM just doesnt care about the DTS as they are doing away with it. Well guess what. Im doing away with GM. Cadillac is NOT the standard of the world as they claim.

  Cadillac does not repair problems - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By new mks owner - October 2 - 2:00 am

  I had a 2009 Cadillac DTS and the driver side windshield washer would not wet down the upper windshield and deposited the water in bulk right in front of the driver view through the windshield. The passenger side washer/wiper worked perfectly. Cadillacs replaced two wiper arms to no avail. I reported this to Cadillac and in 6 months I was told an engineer would call me. still waiting after the case was closed twice and reopened. I test 6 new 09 and 2010 DTS Cadillac and they all do not work . Traded the Cadillac DTS for a Lincoln MKs. got three time more features, more luxury and a better driving automobile. no more Cadillacs in my garage.

  2010 caddy DTS - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By Henry Latus - July 28 - 8:25 am

  I just returned from a trip to Long Island,N.Y. The car was a dream to drive and the air conditioned seats made the ride in ninety degree temp a real pleasure.The radar to keep you alert to the fact that you are in the center of the lane is also a good feature. Onstar GPS makes getting to your destination an absolute pleasure. The ride with magna traction shocks is as great as it is on my Corvette.

  Great comfort even for BIG GUYS - 2010 Cadillac DTS
  By PT crusher - March 20 - 6:03 pm

  Just picked up an 08 DTS, I was driving a Dodge Ram. Ive always had Trucks because Im a big guy (65" 270lbs), so I need a lot of leg room. The bouncy, loud and overpowering ride of the trucks had to go. The DTS offers plenty of room, power, comfort, and its just a nice looking car. If I had to compare ride of the DTS. Think if you spent 30 year sleeping on the floor, and you just got a top of the line pillow top (King Koil Matress). You sleep would never be the same you wouldnt want to get out of bed. Thats what driving the DTS feels like. Comfort and smooth ride like you wouldnt believe. A++
