Myrtle P

It is reliable and spacious.

Being an older model, I have had to replace the fuel pump and water pump, along with some other minor parts. The vehicle's performance is great; I get really good mileage and the overall performance of the vehicle is great. The features include OnStar, Sirius radio, navigation system, motorized seats, plenty of legroom and a spacious seating and trunk space.

The heated seats are probably the most interesting part of the entire car.

It is my father's vehicle. We bought it through a woman who was selling it so it was not the best when we first got it. We have problems with the struts and brake pads. When we are driving, something like the struts, will sort of bounce the car every so often.

The comfort . The roominess. The ride. The style. The trunk space.

I have no complaints. However at times I wish it had a backup camera.along with the front and back sensors in the bumpers.I'm

My vehicle is a classic when it comes to style, interior, power, and comfort.

I love the interior. The body and style are classic and smooth. The driving experience is excellent.

Style and comfort makes a great combination

Very reliable, fairly well on gas..very comfortable..the family loves it..I love it but when something goes wrong it might take a fortune to repair it like a water pump, brake monitors,etc..it's ok on gas not too bad you have to put in supreme or premium

Alexis S

Rides very smooth cannot even tell how fast your going.

The back seat is very roomy, so is the front of the car as well. There are USB ports in the back seats of the car in the ashtrays which is cool! Very comfortable seats! Leather interior. All black interior. I love the car haven't had any problems with it! Got side swiped and it barely left a scratch.

Mark H

Sleek styling with a smooth, comfortable ride.

Smooth, comfortable ride with a lot of power in the engine. Plenty of leg room to accommodate five passengers. Plenty of room runs space whether you are taking a long trip or running errands around town. Excellent sound system for your listening pleasure.

Steve H

It is comfortable yet reliable.

I feel like my car is getting old and there is nothing special or innovative about it. The seats are not as comfortable.

Overall performance of Cadillac DTS

I enjoy driving the Cadillac dts but once it's nearly paid for it seems to fall apart from normal wear and tear. It does deliver the comfort that comes with this luxury car. I would recommend other to purchase this vehicle if they are looking for total luxury

The honest truth about vehicle owning.

Since it is getting older it can be problematic. On the other hand though it still runs very smoothly, and is really comfortable since we have had it for a while. As long as you know and are able to take care of a vehicle, this one might be for you depending own personal style. It fits me well and feel like it matches me well, making the owning experience better as a whole too.

Amazing, sophisticated, reliable.

The car is very comfortable, spacious, and rides smooth. The v8 Northstar engine has enough power when you need it without it being over loud in the cab. Available OnStar is a great for emergency situations. The trunk space is massive. Able to hold more than your expectation.

Frank M on February 25, 2021

Great car that meets the needs of my family.

We have over 110,000 miles on this car. It has been very reliable with low maintenance. The only things we have to do is regular maintenance and new tires and battery. It is very comfortable with good passenger space and good trunk space. For it is size, it gets great miles per gallon.
