Cadillac CTS-V for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Explosive V8 power, excellent handling dynamics, costs less than the European tuner sedans, spacious cabin for day-to-day livability.

Cons

Average interior materials, sloppy rear suspension.

What’s new

Cadillac has given the tuner treatment to the CTS sedan, creating the high-performance CTS V-Series. Equipped with the Corvette Z06 drivetrain and race-ready running gear, the CTS-V is designed to take on the most powerful sport sedans from Europe.

Edmunds says

Excruciatingly fast, highly nimble and affordable for its class, the V-Series is a legitimate rival to Europe's most capable sport sedans.

Stuck in geAR, 07/27/2010

2004 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

I bought my "V" used with @60,000 miles, and from the moment I first drove it, I knew that I was going to buy it. I was looking for a car that spoke of elegance and class, but if prodded, it could flatten my eyeballs. I wanted a Mustang GT with room for my date and another couple. The "V" delivers in spades. If I could, I would only make three improvements. At 6'3", I need the headroom …

THIS CAR IS IT!!!!! No more European cars for me!

2004 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

Found me a pristine low miles '04 'V' just a few weeks back. I'm in love. Look for stupid excuses to drive it, anywhere, anytime, all the time! Drove German for years, no more. I'm a Baby Boomer mfg executive who grew up in the muscle car era but never owned one. Now I have it all. Best combination of Velcro-like handling and road comfort in 42 years of driving. Even PA's crappy roads …

Good except Halfshafts and Differential!

Kenny Sanders, 04/28/2007

2004 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

This car is a blast to drive.Six speeds of pure satisfaction! The suede inserts of the middle portion of the seats are a very fresh look. I would love to give this car all 10's just on fun factor alone. But the build quality of the differential and halfshafts for this car is a horror show disaster waiting to happen. GM needs do some recalls to the differential/halfshafts to get this car …

Its a beast and a beauty

Peter Clements, 10/10/2005

2004 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

I have owned this car for 15 months and it is the most fun I have had driving in 25 years including owning a Corvette. Its handling is comparable to the BMW 5-Series and its acceleration is superior to anything in its price class. As one car magazine put it in football terms... "It is a linebacker rather than a runnig back" but in my book it is an All American. As one who owned a four …
