"Great car for $15000!If you like old school this is the car for you.Northstar is good for performance and will still get in the upper 20s on the highway.A little expensive to get repaired but check on the internet for Cadillac Forums and you can get a lot of helpful tips on working on these yourself.I had a 91 Deville and traded for a 2000 and now traded for an 06.For the buck I think this is a great buy for a full size luxury car.I travel from Florida to NY frequently and can do it in one shot and am not in pain at the end of a 19 hour day behind the wheel."

"This is my 2nd Cadillac. It compares well to my 2007 DeVille. However, this year/model feels like Cadillac cut corners and costs on too much plastic inside - plastic that cracks easily and also rubber insulation that splits too easily. Also, the DeVille came with a full 100,000 mile warranty; this DTS has less than half of that. The original tires will have to be replaced this year - after delivering less than 35,000 miles. As a used car, it was a good value purchase - simply because these cars depreciate soooo fast."

"I was lucky enough to find this one owner DTS. It still feels and looks like a new car. The luxury options are wonderful, heated stearing wheel, all location airbags. Drives wonderful, like floating. I had a 2004 SRX AWD that I bought new and it never felt like a Caddy. This DTS drives and feels like a Caddy should. This is one of the nicest cars I have owned by far. I am hoping after reading all the other reviews that I have good luck with maintenance."

Pros: "It's a Cadillac. What more can you say?"

Cons: "I'd like a little better high speed road holding."

"We bought our Luxury 3 new. Ordered it built to suit us. After 7 years it is still modern looking and is in all ways as good as it was when new. I drives great up to about 70 mph, but beyond that it could use a little tighter suspension. Tends to get "floaty" at higher speeds. The only expense so far has been for a new battery. We still get constant compliments on this car. The Northstar engine is superb in every way. The 4speed Hydramatic doesn't jerk you around like my newer car with a 6 speed. The brakes have a good feel. The car is so nice we haven't considered trading it in even after 7 years."

"Has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. However, I would change a couple of things. Don't like the clock being in the navigation system. Want a clock to be visible at all times. Got stuck with a sun roof that I neither need nor want."
