2001 Catera review

2001 Cadillac Catera 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
1 of 8 people found this review helpful
I bought my Catera in October of 2001; the deal I got combined with 0% financing for 5 years was too good to refuse. Overall I'm happy with my Catera. It's cleanly styled both inside and out, and my car is tightly and solidly built. Power is strictly average considering the car's weight, but for routine driving it's fine. Handling is quite good, and the seating is roomy and very comfortable. I've had two or three minor problems, but nothing major over the car's first 5,000 miles.
US and quality, just does not exist

I bought this car because it was built in Germany. Shortly after I found out that many components have been altered to fit GM's US-requirements, which do not include quality. I have the same issues as many posted here, electrical issues (US version has an extensive OBD-II emission system which is not even cleaner than Europe's)and mechanical issues (rough running engine, stalling).

I bought this car new. Spent half again +++$ for repairs. Kept the car 19 years. The car was built by Opal. I've owned cars , some new, mostly used, and this car was the biggest pile of JUNK I've ever owned. Period! Bar none! Not even close with anything. JUNK. GM really screwed me (and any one else) by selling me this "car". Because of this car, I will never again buy a GM product!

The person who posted on 4/13/03 must be nuts or probably drove the car into the ground. Giving it "4"s on the interior and exterior design--why'd you buy it? I recently purchased mine used and found it to be a GREAT buy. Orignally 36K and got it for $18K with only 9000 miles. Runs great, rides great, has a ton of features I didn't expect and never had a problem but then again I respect and take care of my vehicles.

We have had nothing bue excellent service from our Catera. Personally, I feel that the auto people of the world initially gave the car a bum rap and just could noe bring themselves to admit they were wrong. Such as the editor's review here on the Edmunds site. The only thing my wife does not like is having a CD changer in the trunk.
