Cadillac 2009 DTS Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I want a BIG car to drive around Texas. The Escalade is definitely not on my list. Please share your thoughts on the Cadillac DTS.

Hello there, Michael! I am pretty sure that you are one of those guys whose stars are rising on the horizon. I do think that you’d want to shine bright with something that says, “I’ve arrived, but I’m still coming and going” on a daily basis. Not as flashy as a sports car but commands respect like Mafia don, that’s your 2009 Cadillac DTS. It would be great to see you behind the wheel of a DTS in Texas.
Several people do cite the DTS as the heir to the DeVille, which was a Cadillac’s answer for the need of Americans to have a big, luxurious car. I have to agree with the advertisement of Cadillac that with all your hard work, why get inside a cramped auto? So, what will you enjoy with the DTS, Michael? As a standard, the three trims of the DTS come with a Northstar V8 engine. The V8 and Platinum trims have their 4.6 L V8s pumping out 275 horsepower while the Performance trim gives a higher value at 292 horsepower. All have the Hydra-matic automatic transmission so you know that driving it won’t be a complicated experience. There is also Stabilitrak, an electronic system that helps you handle the car, to keep you on the road whenever you drive in your DTS through difficult curves. And if you don’t feel like driving all the way, there’s also an option for cruise control. But with this fantastic machine, I suggest that you keep the driving to yourself. If you’d wish, you can also check out the different options available at your local Cadillac dealer.
Cadillac CTS Dealership Houston Texas
Reader’s Question:
I saw a Cadillac CTS the other day here in Houston, Texas and my girlfriend had to close my mouth to stop the drooling. Loved how the car looked. Care to tell me more about the car? I’d like the “ins” more than the “outs.”

Hey, Steve-o, I drooled, too. Kidding aside, I do think you don’t have to think hard about the Cadillac CTS. I’ve seen some on the road and saw one in display. You’ll be sold as soon as you step inside your Houston, Texas Cadillac dealer. I will show you some points that will make you feel that you made a great choice.
First, let’s get started with the style of the CTS. Cadillac, in my humble opinion, still rules in the style and appeal section. The CTS is a marriage of style and rugged looks that makes it a true sport sedan. Then if we look under the hood, and go through the different trims available, you’ll expand your choices. Your options for an engine can either be a 3.6 Liter V6 VVT or a 3.6 Liter DI. Comparing horsepower between these two, the 304 hp at 6400 rpm from the Direct Injection engine rules it over its variable valve timing (VVT) brother by 40 hp. There’s also more torque for the DI variant. Standard transmission for these cars is manual but there’s an option to go automatic. I love how the 2008 CTS handles; curves are not an issue with the car. As far as interiors and creature comforts are concerned, I’d say that it’s pretty much standard in what you’ll find in cars today. You will get navigation, a decent stereo system, power seats, just to cite a few. Anyway, Steve, I do hope you finalize your plans to get a CTS. You won’t regret it.
Cadillac Eldorado Houston Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
My dad will turn over his Cadillac Eldorado to me by the end of this month here in Houston, Texas. I am pretty worried about its engine performance since he had used this car for more than 3 years. What are the main engine features of this coupe?

Cadillac has been renowned for producing high end and top quality cars. One of their major launches when it comes to Coupe cars is the Eldorado. It was launched way back 2002 and comes in 2 models, the ESC and the ETC.
Both coupes share the Cadillac’s 4.6-liter, twin-cam Northstar V8 engine. As I can remember, it was an upgrade from the 2000 model which features lower emissions, silent operation and it is capable of running on regular fuel. Its ETC is tuned to give more power and aggression. Each model is equipped with four speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting. The engine produces 275 hp at a whopping 5600 rpm and 300lbs ft of torque at 4000. Since the Etc is created as a performing coupe with a much more aggressive character, it produces 300 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 295 pounds-feet at 4400 rpm.
The Eldorado is also fully packed with all the luxuries that Cadillac offers. Having it for 3 years might make a difference, but if your dad has not done any upgrades or updates yet, the Eldorado will work perfectly fine and one great car to own. Should you decide to change the car insurance covering it from the original one that your dad might have, try to browse through this website for more affordable premiums.
