Excellent, but get a warranty!
I love my 2000 Cadillac Catera Sport. It's not far off from the German/UK versions of the Omega and it bears little resemblence inside or outside to other GM cars. The quality of the materials is excellent and the car is as tight as a drum and whisper quiet. The Xenon headlights and awesome looking 17 inch rims set the car apart. The 200HP engine is a bit slow but there's enough power. Just one word of advice: GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY! I bought mine with a GM certified extended warranty. Excellent value if you do this.
Bad apples of the Cadillac.
Repaired 3 times check Engine never goes away. Inside Engine material is plastic imagine! on a 260 degree Hot Engine. that is why it constant need repair. This car should had been a recall. It stop in the middle of the road without warning. Don't bother to call GM they won't help you, this has been put under the carpet rather then recall. (IS Cheaper).
Not a real Cadillac
The car drives like a dream, however, the check engine light will not go off. No one can find the problem. The rear middle seat belt locks and cannot be used. The gas mileage is horrible. A new fuel pump at 70K cost me $917. If you try to run anything except premium fuel, you will find yourself in a world of hurt. My advice is to buy a real Cadillac (Deville, for example). Better mileage, better service. Cadillac needs to stand behind this product and make it right. I sure wish I had bought a Deville!
A Mechanic's Dream
This car stayed in towed more than it stayed on the road. Every time you fix one problem, another problem arises. The tow guy and I were on a first name basis. As a matter of fact, I had his number on speed dial. It is the worst piece of junk that I have ever owned. Cadillac really messed up with this one. They need to go back to the drawing board.
Fun To Drive
We have found our two Cateras fun to drive, easy to handle and a joy to drive on long trips. The power seats fit our bodies comfortably. The sunroof offers lots of options. We've had no maintenance problems with either our 1999 or 2000 Catera.
