The overall comfort and space is what made the decision over a STS & Lucerne
Least favorite feature:
While GM freshened the Styling some more should have been done.!!!
Advice to buyer:
Look at and Test Drive the various cars before narrowing your choices.
Detailed review:
I bought a DTS Luxury package III w/Nav & Adaptive Cruise.
Before buying I used the GM site to learn about and locate dealers with a car that I was interested in, it is great.
If I had not driven the DTS I would have bought a STS V8 Performance package. The DTS is the best when it comes to a quiet smooth riding car. It just seems to remove all the bumps & vibrations from the road. The DTS has plenty of interior space. (I do wish GM had put more storage niches in the DTS.)
Cadillac needs to make the Magnetic Ride package available on some of the Luxury packages if not standare on the DTS.
Learning all of the electronic functions with OnStar, Nav System, Adaptive Cruise, Info Center, Driver Memory settings, etc is an ongoing process. The symbols on some of the controls could be more intuitive.
My only problems are that the doors need a slight adjusting and 1 plastic cargo net retainer was stripped.
Our dealer Coulter Cadillac had the best inventory within 400 miles of Phoenix and did a great job of familiarizing us with the car & it's features.

2006 Buick Lucerne
