The DTS is a large, front-wheel-drive luxury sedan. The 275-hp, 4.6-liter V8 is smooth and powerful, and works well with the four-speed automatic. A six-passenger version, featuring a front bench seat, is available. Interior space is generous, with a roomy back seat and an enormous trunk. Handling is not agile. Tire grip and braking are unimpressive. The ride is comfortable but can become buoyant at speed. The interior is quiet. Fit and finish has improved over the old DeVille sedan, but some flaws seem out of place at this price. Reliability has been average.
