2006 Cadillac DTS - Base
Pros: The overall comfort and space is what made the decision over a STS & Lucerne
Cons: While GM freshened the Styling some more should have been done.!!!
Advice: Look at and Test Drive the various cars before narrowing your choices.
I bought a DTS Luxury package III w/Nav & Adaptive Cruise. Before buying I used the GM site to learn about and locate dealers with a car that I was interested in, it is great. If I had not driven the DTS I would have bought a STS V8 Performance package. The DTS is the best when it comes to a quiet smooth riding car. It just seems to remove all the bumps & vibrations from the road. The DTS has plenty of interior space. (I do wish GM had put more storage niches in the DTS.) Cadillac needs to make the Magnetic Ride package available on some of the Luxury packages if not standare on the DTS. Learning all of the electronic functions with OnStar, Nav System, Adaptive Cruise, Info Center, Driver Memory settings, etc is an ongoing process. The symbols on some of the controls could be more intuitive. My only problems are that the doors need a slight adjusting and 1 plastic cargo net retainer was stripped. Our dealer Coulter Cadillac had the best inventory within 400 miles of Phoenix and did a great job of familiarizing us with the car & it's features. -
2006 Cadillac DTS - Base
Pros: none
Cons: just the fact that it won't run.
Advice: we won't ever buy another GM product.
purchased cadillac dts on 1/23/2006, dealer had to pick up 3 days later, car wouldn't start, new battery installed, original had been re-charged so many times, wouldn't hold another charge. car kept overnight, returned next day and 4 days later had to be picked up again because it wouldn't run. car wouldn't run for us, wouldn't run for dealer. the had the car in their shop for 20 days..said it was the clock on the dash that was the problem..3 new batteriws installed in 3 weeks. picked up car today (22nd) and expect it to go out again in day or so. we are trying to get the car re-placed or re-purchased..all power appears to be with dealer..General Motors no help. will never buy a GM auto ever again.
