2008 Cadillac DTS

2008 Cadillac DTS Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Cadillac DTS:

"What sets the DTS apart the most from the old DeVille, however, is GM's value pricing, under which the sticker in the window comes closer to what people can expect to pay.".

-- Chicago Tribune

"All models include standard front side-impact airbags, as well as front and rear side curtain airbags. Should you need assistance in an emergency (or just need tickets to the basketball game), GM's OnStar communications system comes standard. Parking sensors are also available.".

-- Edmunds.com

"Opt for Luxury III and there's genuine burled walnut interior trim, massaging front seats, Bose premium audio system, "rainsense" wipers and chrome wheels.".

-- MSN Autos

"Both V8s get nearly the same estimated fuel economy. It's 17 in the city and 25 on highways with the 275-horsepower version and 17 and 24 with the higher-horsepower V8.".

-- MSN Autos

"With its new vertical headlamps and taillamps and redesigned egg-crate grille, the DTS acquires the design language of the Cadillac family and a freshened, modern appearance.".

-- New Car Test Drive

What reviewers liked least about the Cadillac DTS:

"In Luxury trim, it?s a traditional soft-riding, nose-heavy, mushy-handling sedan that?s quick off the line but possesses nary a dynamic handling trait.".

-- AutoSite.com

"The big trunk looks large enough to carry golf clubs for every golfer in the neighborhood and has a low, wide opening. But it calls for a long stretch to reach objects at its far end.".

-- MSN Autos

Cadillac DTS Comparisons:

"...before our test drive, company spokespeople claimed that the benchmark vehicle for interior quality was the Lexus LS 430. That set expectations very high, and in our opinion, Cadillac has not met its target.".
