leased Catera
Drove vehicle 9.5 months - mostly to the repair shop. 14 visits for 21 discrepancies. Out of service for 35 days total. Roadside assistance never followed up on any calls. Cadillac arbitrator was illiterate with automobile related issues. I choice I lived to regret.
catera turbo 2000
Apart from tire trouble on rear wheels requiring replacement of 2 within 20000 miles there has been little problem. A recall on the pump system affecting the radiaror has been implemented wihout trouble.
What was I thinking?
The Catera provided the image but the issues were driving me nuts. The glove compartment pops open if the temp is below 12 degrees. The auto cup holder stick, the ignition key always stick. I had a hollering match with the owners of the dealership over the tire thread damage on the driver's side. They said it was normal wear and tear. Replace a battery, the steering column leakage caused car to lock up and I was stranded for hours waiting for roadside. Error lights are always on. I'm taking things very well but today is my last day with it and look forward to something less classy and more fun. PT Cruiser, here I come baby!
Catera, 2000
Great car. I like the German aire about the car. It is very different from the American and Japanese autos. This is highly under-rated automobile.
I live my Catera
I had always driven Hondas (since the 70s) In my old age I stepped up to the Catera and really you can't beat it for trips. I arrive feeling like I haven't driven 500 miles. Don't care what people say, I love the comfort, OnStar and the service I get locally. Small, enuf power and comfort.
