Where;s the Beef?

Finally a rear wheel drive!!! And the exterior styling that is unique, not a run of the mill generic jelly bean. Now if only my CTS had some horse power! It is really lacking in that department. The V6 just doesn't have the power you would expect. A real disappointment. I'm not happy with the "early" shift pattern of the auto trans either. This would be a dynamite car with a V8!

Face it, the car is awesome. I love the way it handles in tight curves. It's a great highway cruiser with comfort to boot (once you find your set settings), speed and excelleration are pretty decent. This car really turns heads. I have people of all ages making compliments, many at stoplights are questioning cost. A few with BMW's & MB's are checking it out while parked. I just love to drive it. Cadillac has hit the mark

This car doesn't need many words. Just look at it, drive it and you will be sold. This is everything you need for an affordable price.

Lots of Miles, Lots of Fun

I am surprised to read so many reviews with people having problems with their CTS'. I have put over 100k miles since purchasing mine used almost 4 years ago. It now has 155,000+ miles on it and I am just now having to replace the fuel pump. Other than that, no significant problems. My 03 still looks great and gets plenty of compliments.

Eyecatching Fun

In our mid 40's carpooling is over - we're targeting a fun car for our downsized" mode. After testing the midsized Lincoln, Lexus, BMW 500 series and Avalon, my wife wanted to test the "sassy" new CTS. We drove the base as well as fully loaded Luxury Sport edition. Within 45 minutes of arriving at the dealership, she had chosen the LS edition. It is a head turner and we are really happy with the decision to go with the CTS. Full of power, great accessories, a real rush to drive. Christmas shopping all done!
