Sweet Ride
This vehicle has incredible value for the price paid. I would most definitely recommend a CTS to anyone who loves to drive and get noticed for what they are driving. Cadillac has gone all out to provide a perfect blend of styling and performance using quality craftmanship and technology. I was more than a bit apprehensive about buying a new vehicle designed from the ground up in its first year but just had to have one based on its looks alone.
Why a CTS over a Euro or an Asian Car?
I test drove many cars, read consumer reports and pushed Internet fleet sales managers to madness for their lowest price for over a year. I took my time to find the car that fits my lifestyle (you don't need an SUV). My friends have BMW 3 Series, Mercedes 240 and Lexus IS/GS so I got a free test drive from them. I spun the Acura Sports and Nissan Altima as well as a few salesman around the block at local dealerships.

WOW! Not your Daddy's Caddy
Just got the Luxury/Sport, and yeah, I got the orange one. Turns heads (actually snaps necks) everywhere I go. Car is incredibly solid. Sticks like velcro with very little roll. Steering is ultra-responsive. The sport-shift mode is a hoot - really winds out the V- 6. This car loves to be pushed. Can't figure the single, unadorned exhaust pipe. With all that styling, how did they miss putting in duals with styled tips? Interior is comfortable - nice but not plush. Has lots of "gee-whiz" features that I'll never use. The radio display is a little overwhelming, and I'd rather see gauges instead of a clock. Bose 6-speaker stereo is very good.
CTS Pleased
Wife's buying decision based on the design. I wasn't too sure (I drive a 5 series BMW) but now I am really pleased with the purchase. Driving experience is just excellent and the design really grows on you. Best trip up the mountains that we ever had. Car runs flawlessly and seems to get stronger as we put more miles on it. We bought the NAV system and now I don't know if I would ever buy a car without one.

Bought 2003 with lux package-17' wheels for my wife in Jan 2003.We liked the ride and handling and have taken it a couple trips to FLA.Had a few issues which I expected since it was the 1st year of a new model. After a couple months their was an issue with the steering rack that cadillac replaced--after that no problems.There was a recall on the Goodyears that they replaced at 25k--- and a rim that pitted that they replaced---so I didn't have to spring for new tires till almost 60K miles! Live outside of Buffalo NY---handles well in the snow. Looking forward to getting a new CTS-4 next year after I get my moneys worth out of these new tires.
