Road Test

The DTS is an update of the DeVille. It isn't as stylish or sporty as other Cadillacs. This roomy sedan has a large rear seat, and a soft, quiet ride. Handling is clumsy, and braking distances are relatively long. We bought our model in Luxury II trim with a sunroof, three-passenger front bench seat, and 17-inch chrome wheels as options.
