2006 Cadillac DTS Luxury II 4.6 Northstar V8

Summary:

Excellent Car with Cheap Price

Faults:

The car is brand new so there hasn't been any problems, but the day after we bought it we found a spec of rust under the driver door. The Dealer took care of that though with no problems. We thought the car was salvaged after we found the rust, but it wasn't. That was the only downside.

General Comments:

This is the fanciest car my parents have ever bought! It's fast and comfortable. If I could change one thing on the car it would be the color. It's Glacier White metallic and I would prefer the Black Raven. The original sticker price was $50,000, but since it was a clearance we paid $44,000. I love this car a lot and I hope my family will keep this car for a long time (At least until the next redesign). It's beautiful, cool, and an excellent Cadillac. We plan to upgrade the car with chrome rims and a mesh grille like you see on the Cadillac V-series. This car is like none other we've owned!

2006 Cadillac DTS 4.8

Summary:

Comfort and space

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

The DTS has a smooth, quiet, comfortable ride.

The car has loads of room in the passenger compartment & trunk. There could be more interior niches for putting things. The rear seat does not fold down. The center console and the door arm rest are different heights, should be the same.

There are a lot of electronic items to interface with. Some of the controls could be more intuitive.

The touch screen navigation system is neat.

The interactive radar controlled cruise control works just great.

Some of the STS elements should have been incorporated into the refreshed DTS. Why have the old plunger lock knob? Move the control down by the door handle and have a red light (on STS) up where the knob is to show the door is locked.
