Unbelievable

Performance off the showroom floor is stunning, a true driver's car. Unbelievable if you have not driven it. All in all the most fun I have had driving. Extemely dependable brakes and handling, very forgiving. It has a very comfortable ride even in competition mode. This is not your father's Cadillac. No mechanical problems to date.

The 2005 Cadillac CTS-V is unbelievable! I have more fun driving this than any car I've ever owned. The engine has tons of power, the car looks great with the 18" wheels and slightly flared fenders. This first couple times I drove it, I just laughed, the power is so plentiful. This car is downright fast. I get thumbs up from people who are "in the know" about this car. I got the Red Line color. At first I liked black the best, but I really think this is the best color on the V. I'm happy this car only comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, as several "non car-guy" types have bellyached to me about the "need for an automatic". No way. If you can't shift, get a STS-V or a Mercedes-Benz. This is a modern day muscle car.

A True Family Performance Car

I have owned muscle cars in the past, but this car is truly a modern muscle car. In addition to the excellent performance, I can fit a wife and three kids in it very comfortably! The only downside I have found so far, is the skip shift wins the award for most annoying feature on a car ever. Although not a big deal, the location of the cup holders interferes with the position of your shifting arm after those trips to Dunkin' Donuts.

This has been a fun car that I love to drive. It has a few weak spots, such as the seats are not that supportive or comfortable. Also, the handbrake needs to be moved.

For those who want luxury but need performerance, this is the car. This car is really a VETTE wrapped in luxury. The best part the cops will be looking at the VETTE for ticketing. Let's give the General its due for this mighty fine car. It is a must own car. P.S. the wife does drive it.
