Acceleration is adequate, as we've timed a DTS Performance to 60 mph in seven seconds flat, but most V8-powered luxury sedans are considerably quicker, as are many V6-powered competitors. EPA fuel economy estimates stand at 15 mpg city/23 highway and... |

Why should I also consider these?
There isn’t much competition in this categoryThe Buick Lucerne shares its underbody and running gear with the Cadillac DTS, along with its spacious interior.
Chrysler sells a long-wheelbase version of its 300 sedan that sports more rear legroom, but it's still primarily a five-seater, and its interior isn't as nicely finished as the Cadillac.
Lincoln's Town Car is the old man on the totem pole, with a ride that tends to be oddly firm yet bouncy, especially on extended versions.
It’s now bought mostly for fleets, and Ford likely will cancel the model in the near future.
