I love driving my CTS. It’s a perfect balance between performance and comfort. Performs well on long trips and around town. Fit and trim are excellence. No annoying rattles. The sun roof provides adequate shade from the Georgia sunshine
Favorite Features
The interior look and comfort. Road handling and performance.
Suggested Improvements
More interior storage. Better rear view visibility.

Review
The ride and interior of this car are truly outstanding! Never in my wildest dreams did we think of owning a Cadillac, however "WOW" are we in love with this vehicle.
Favorite Features
The PRICE!!! Awesome price for a heavily loaded vehicle. Mercedes can't offer anything close to this figure. We comparison shopped for a month.
Suggested Improvements
Soft close doors and power soft close trunk lid. No complaints, only praise. We can't believe it, this car is phenomenal.

Review
I just bought a black 2008 Cadillac CTS. I Love it. It is a great car, but it has had a sensor break about 2 months after I bought the car. Luckily my warranty covered that. The build quality is pretty good but there is a bunch of cheap plastics. Overall it's a great car and I would recommend it to anyone.
Favorite Features
Exterior styling, steering wheel, radio(XM), easy to clean leather, and the ride
Suggested Improvements
USE LESS PLASTICS, improve fuel economy

Review
I was excited to get this car, however now after 6000 miles and two trips to the shop for MAJOR issues, I am not so happy. First the cooling system failed and it had to be towed, now is a week in for a new camshaft and cylinder heads, if this is what GM is making, this is my first and last.....
Favorite Features
Exterior is hot, nice steering and comfortable for me.
Suggested Improvements
Better construction under the hood would help. New sunscreen on sunroof, move info center controls.

Review
I bought a cts-v in 2005, and I thought that car was a blast to drive. The 2008 cts, 3.6 d.i., all wheel drive, handles as good, and ride quality is superior to the V. I have to admit, that I love this new cts better than the cts-v. interior is comfortable, the exterior is beautiful! I am in love with my cts!
Favorite Features
Large sun roof, all wheel drive, 3.6 D.I. engine, onstar, xm radio, new grill, blistered fenders, dual exhaust, I love it all!
Suggested Improvements
When looking back at an angle to see if it's clear to pull out, the rear pillar makes it hard to see, a blind spot.

Review
Have not had an American Car since early 80's. Had Audi, Acura, Toyota, etc. Was planning on getting a TL or ES350 then I took a close look at this while renting a car in Florida. Note to Detroit: You have finally got something here. LEARN FROM IT!!! This car has style, performance, safety, ergonomics, reasonable fuel economy. Everything. I got the 3.6 with Premium Lux Package and all season 18" wheel Package. Absolutely LOVE IT! Just enough space, speed, sport and style to make driving a pleasure. It really felt good to buy an American car and actually be proud of it! Way to go GM. Don't let us down again.
Favorite Features
Better Nav than Acura, Better comfort touches than Audi, Better styling than Mercedes, Better Audio than Lexus. Wow . . . A class leader from the USA?
Suggested Improvements
Bluetooth, Can't believe they didn't include this. Cadillac Dealers WAKE UP! Treat customers like Lexus with this car and you have a real opportunity to lead the pack again.

Review
My 2008 CTS was shipped from the factory without grease in the axle, needless to say at 72 miles it was back in the shop. Cadillac told me that it may be a month before they had replacement parts (a new car shouldn't need replacement parts) well I insisted that they take one off the assembly line and ship it to me, which they did. There is a noise in the instrument panel (sounds like a fan running all the time) they say it is normal (the other 4 didn't have it!!!) Also I was told at the dealership that they found no insulation in the dash. There is a rattling noise in the sun roof. I am in the process of trying to get Cadillac to replace this LEMON!!!
Favorite Features
Love the look of the 2008 CTS. The interior is beautiful!!
Suggested Improvements
Check them out before you ship them out to the dealers!!!!

Review
Looked at BMW, however found nothing with any options in this segment for under $52,000. Stopped by the Cadillac Dealer on way home and purchased "on the spot" CTS 08 Black Cherry. For the money, you absolutely cannot beat this vehicle. Extremely happy with purchase at over 3,000 miles.
Favorite Features
Heated Seats, Radio/Nav screen, interior lighting, Braking.
Suggested Improvements
Trunk is a little tight, but what do you expect for a car this size, with large interior space. Honestly this is the best auto purchase we made in 20 years. Truly love this car.

Review
First of all I love this car. I looked at Lexus and infiniti. I just loved the CTS. So I took a two year lease on this one. I got it fully loaded. I did have problems with the dealer. The first salesman I spoke to left, then the second sales person quit. I was on a role, but i still bought it and I am happy I did. I ended up with a great guy, he was trying to make up for a bad situation.
Favorite Features
Navigation System is out of this world. Its the best I have seen. I also love the seat. Having some issues with the voice recognition, but that is mostly user error. This is a great car
Suggested Improvements
Bluetooth for the car. I was told that i could tie my phone with the car. Ended up that is not true. After April 7 i was told that if you want it it will be an option. If only I would have waited two weeks. Also the record button should be able to record the radio. It does not
