Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac DTS?
Downhill cruise control speed. Cadillac says cruise doesn't work downhill.

2006 Cadillac DTS Review:
I own a 2006 DTS III with adaptive cruise control, navigation system and bench seats. Cruise control has no control on even the slightest downhill grade, all it does is freewheel. Speeds can become dangerous and tickets are possible. cadillac says use brakes, why have cruise? Shift lever covers 1/4 of navigator screen when in drive. Pretty chrome clock reflects sun to a dangerous point.

Like gauges in lieu of digital. Easy to see when sun shines in side windows.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac DTS?
Steering hard. No remote
button to open gas fill door. Some cheapening in interior (Some fabric on sides of leather seats.)Bucket seats hard!

2006 Cadillac DTS Review:
Test drove a used 2006 DTS with 16K miles.Steering seems "hard" - not like my 99 DeVille. Most other features were acceptable

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac DTS?
Change "exit" setting to where the tilt steering wheel went all the way up.

2006 Cadillac DTS Review:
Immediately discovered that Cadillac put cheap ($51) Continental tires on their $50,000 automobile. Three of four tires were so out of round they could not be corrected. Cadillac would only replace with the same tire.
I purchased a set of Pirelli Nero-Zero tires at my own expense and Cadillac refuses to rebate the $204 value of the Continental tires that I returned to dealer.
Cadillac has stalled and not kept promise to return calls or make decision on a fair compromise-since 10/12/06--now Jan. 2007

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac DTS?
Only encourage Cadillac to continue front-wheel drive...far superior to rear wheel drive.

2006 Cadillac DTS Review:
Simply a beautiful, elegant auto. Engine is responsive with outstanding gas mileage (much more than foreign autos).

Fix the brakes

2006 Cadillac DTS Review:
I have had to many problems with the brakes on this car. It has been in the dealership five times in the last three months. When brakes get hot on a long hill -the brakes fade and it takes almost twice as long to stop car.---
This car has very little engine braking power;making it nec. to apply constant footpedal pressue on any type downgrade.(poor engineering on GM' part).
I have owned 14 cad(amongst many other cars). probably will not buy another unless things improve.
This is the second car with the same problem.
Would like to here
your commments. Thank GVM

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Cadillac DTS?
i like the power,and the cadillac ride-it's smooth and with the northstar,it's quick-i like xm radio.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Cadillac DTS?
upgrade the amp to a bigger amp-add a subwoofer. i would
make the seats massage like the benz does....

2006 Cadillac DTS Review:
mine was an ex-rental in black-i had to add xm and an amp,sub, etc. i LOVE the xenon lights which are very bright. I like the size of the thing for the price -high 20's to low 30's if you look for used. this is a great car.
