Brakes replaced at 15,000 miles = $400+. Several warranty items replaced. Gas tank must be 5 gallons or else this is the thirstiest car I've ever owned. Poor engine/transmission match; the car wants to shift long before it should to maximize torque. As such the thing is SLOW. Fit and finish is sub-par for a $35,000+ vehicle. My lease is done soon and I will not consider the new CTS. Caddy may have done a lot to upgrade the new car, but I've already been turned off for good.

My 3 year lease is up this month. Will miss driving the Catera. Sporty drive from a solid car. Drove 35,000 miles during the lease. Warranty covered everything except oil change and tire rotation. Had a tire go bad and it was replaced at no cost. It is better than the 300 series BMW, but not quite up to the 500 series. We really snjoyed the drive, but not willing to pay the price GM is now asking to buy the car.

My 4th used Cadillac- first catera. We wanted a smaller car than the Sedan deVille. Excellent fit and finish and fun to drive. Great stereo although I haven't completely figured out how to use it. 27,000 miles and almost 4 years old when I bought it. We will put 60,000 on it in 4 years and then trade.

Purchased this car used with less than 30K miles on her. Have own her for 7 years and it is the most comfortable car I have had with lots of bells and whistles on her. She is a fun car to drive.
