The front buckets are large and comfortable with enough adjustment to satisfy most any physique. To get the blood moving while on cross-country jaunts the front seats will actually massage your lower parts. Now this is a must-have luxury feature!

If the Deville DTS is coming up short anywhere the points are minor. For those not familiar with the idiosyncrasies associated with GM cars, the wiper controls could be found more intuitively if placed on the right side of the steering column - the industry standard. Another small point is the passenger temperature system. Kudos for allowing the passenger some control over their environment, but a separate fully functional climate control system for the passenger is expected in this class of car.

Cadillac is now building cars that are attracting a younger set of drivers. Performance is a priority with power and handling as important as the expected sumptuous creature comforts. The new Deville DTS is at the forefront of the newly defined Cadillac, carving out a new niche of buyers while carving up its own piece of the road.
