0 of 0 people found this review helpful
Wife crashed the toyota 4runner and my Honda S2000 was stolen off the drivway. So I decided to go with some class and give GM back a chance... WRONG CHOICE!!! The CTS 3.6L with Navi and 17" wheels was a good try for GM but this car still does not compare. Quality is poor as paint interior on knobs are chipping everywhere and my side skirt is loose, memory settings get messed up on the sideview mirrors. There are recalls on the CTS with the steering linkages. My alignment needs to be redone every year so far and now it is acting up with suspension noises. Brand new these cars are great, right up until you add some mileage on them. Overall,still fun to drive while looking good doing it
*GREAT*

I got this car more as a joke than anything else (plus I got the best lease rates). Little did I know that I would fall in love with it. The car is a complete blast to drive (its alive). Acceleration is excellent (especially for the size of the motor), braking is excellent and handling is excellent. The car was flawlessly assembled. I have no complaints. I have even become somewhat enamored with the styling.

The Cadillac CTS says 'drive me', and that is exactly what I did when I went hunting for a car in the spring of 2003. Cadillac was getting a lot of buzz, being that the XLR and SRX were getting ready to roll into the dealers, and that the CTs has been getting a lot of buzz. I checked out a loaded CTS and test-drived. I bought it that day, at the dealership, right there, right then. My Cadillac has a 220 hp V-6, but I will be getting either a V-Series or something else soon. I love the vehicle.

I have the Luxury Sport model of the 2004 CTS and it is great. I love the looks/style of this car. What makes it nice it does not look like every other car in todays market. The fit and finish is great on this car. Cadillac has hit the mark on this vehical.

My first Caddy, a 2004 CTS, had it for 5 months now. I have the 1SB package (bigger engine, auto trans, memory seats, and other stuff) and the sport package. I like the smooth power and smooth but sporty ride and the firm, responsive handling (Sport Package). Unless you must have manual transmission, I highly recommend the larger V6 engine. Interesting note: the font style of the gauges (speedo, tach, etc) is the same as in the Corvette.
Classy car decent prices on preowned

Owned the car for about 6 months. No problems or fixes as of yet. Pretty good power for a V6. Considering K&N Intake. Smooth ride and great handling.

Bought this as a return to Cadillac after 10 years of Mercedes. Still have one but thought I would give the CTS a try. I am very pleased with the handling and performance of this vehicle. I do not have enough miles to give a reliability rating but it finally feels like Caddy got this right. It wanders a little more than a real german car at high speeds and does not feel quite as solidly stuck to the ground, but for 40 grand I am so far pleased.

We test drove the competition, Audi, BMW and the Lexus. The CTS has them all beat for value and quality. The craftsmanship is excellent. I have examined the car inside and out and the fit and finish is as good or better than the much higher priced German and Japanese cars. We thought the Japanese interiors and to a less of a degree the Europeans, were a bit on the "tacky" side. Their interiors reminded us of a Las Vegas Casino, just "too" much. The CTS interior is very tasteful, clean and very pleasing to the eyes. It is not so cluttered with the tacky plastic-looking-wood trim that you'll find in the Lexus.
3.6 VVT base model CTS rocks!

To buy this car, I had to sacrifice some options to keep the price down. I'm overjoyed at how amazing this car is still. I bought an '04 CTS with only one option... the engine upgrade/auto trans. The car literally floors me with it's bold styling and performance. I thought I'd regret dropping the options, and although I'd rather have a V or a loaded model, I'm extremely satisfied. I do not feel that the editor's rating on Edmund's gives this car justice at all.

Drove the CTS home to show my husband. I knew he would tease me about considering an "old woman" Cadillac (we were looking at SUVs). He drove it and quickly changed his opinion. What started as a practical joke has turned into an absolute joy! Both of us are just lovin' it.

I was a non GM owner before i purchased MeAmour (2004 CTS). My intentions was to buy a Lexus, but after GM introduced MeAmour to the world, i was mezmerized with the bodystyle and determined to have the hottest looking vehicle on the road. It is chic and suave, and it handles really smooth yet approaches like a panther. That's why i call it MeAmour (english and french for 'my love')IT IS AWESOME

This is my first step into the Luxury/Sport Car calss, and I couldn't be happier. I drove the C-Class Mercedes, the 525i BMW and the Audi A4. For the price and features the CTS was the best value. Unless you can afford to make the step into an E- Class Benz, a 500 Series BMW or the A6, the CTS gives you the best "bang" for the buck. It is smooth, powerful, and responsive, a real pleasure to drive.
Love this car!!!

You will not want any other car once a CTS spoils you. Only downside: so high-tech/state-of- the-art that it will take you awhile to learn all fancy features.
Cadillac & GM should be very pleased!!

we are very happy with the car and the performance. It has a sport suspension but does not ride to harsh. The styling is what orignally grabed our attention, however the interior styling is not in line with the $41,000 window sticker.It looks like it belongs in a Chevy Caviler, not a Cadillic. Jeff Wylers' staff treated us poorly when we bought the car.They told us that the financing was changed, that they went through a different bank (after we signed the paperwork) and we had to resign new papers. they jacked the orignal rate up charging us an additional $1800.

Got tired of waiting for the new Acura TLs to be released and so I bought my CTS instead. What a great move! It rides well, looks great, and is fun to drive. And all of this for a reasonable price. My past experience with Cadillac was not a good one (I owned an '87 Eldorado). However, this one is looking like it is going to be much better.
A real nice surprise

I bought a CTS with the 3.6L engine and automatic. The ride is much quieter and the road imperfections get absorbed very well, but there is a slight sense of disconnect compared to my previous car (2003 Tiburon). However, the car handles (even w/o the Sport pkg) extremely well. Body lean is negligible, and steering is precise. I don't consider the interior to be luxury oriented as much as techncially sumptuous. It's definitely upscale looking and wood belongs in furniture and buildings, not cars. It's great to feel good about owning a "reward" car that's made in the USA. Way to go GM and all you Lansing plant workers! Great job!!

I've always been a foreign car owner,never even thought about buying a american never the less a Cadillac. After suffering from auto accident and 911 things changed. Saw billboards,ads in and off television drew me to have a change heart about american made cars. I went to Gold Coast Cadillac in New Jersey and fellin love with this car and a great dealership.

The overall handling exceeded all expectations, smooth, solid ride, cornering and excellent braking characteristics. I elected to upgrade to the factory 17"wheels and go with the sport suspension package in lieu of larger aftermarket custom wheels and tires, good choice... The "edgy" sharp line exterior looks state-of-the-art.

I looked at other class leaders in the entry-level lux groups and went with the CTS- I have not been disappointed. I have owned Audi and the CTS is a refreshing change. Cadillac has a truely fine entry-lux car with the CTS. If you are looking at BMW, Audi, Saab, Lincoln LS or Lexus-give the CTS a test drive, you will be pleasantly surprised! The CTS handling/drive is very impressive- feels like a sport sedan should.

I've owned a lot of German iron over the years - seven BMWs, a Porsche, three M-Bs, five VWs, and two Audis, Even an NSU Ro80, for those of you that know what that is! And, as noted, we own a new 3-Series and an E-Class right now. This car can stand proud with any of those. Is it as good as a 2004 BMW 330i? No. But it's oh-so-close, and the price differential is substantial (in the Cadillac's favor) when equipped the same way - loaded with automatic transmission. And, I like the looks of the CTS better.

I purchased my Cadillac CTS in March 2004 from Ragsdale Cadillac In Auburn MA. I love my car, everything about it!! I have all the bells and whistles, including the inappropriatly labeled fussy navigation system and have nothing but great things to say. It performs well, the ride is great, its fun to drive and I feel great driving it. My purchase experience was second to none and the people at Ragsdale Cadillac made me feel as though I were the only customer they had!! I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

I have the luxury sport package and it's everything I wanted. It's sporty and fun, yet roomy enough for passengers and luggage. It has power and style. I didn't expect to like it this much, as I previously had a more expensive luxury sport import. However, this car is a dream and I am very glad I purchased it.

I own a Mercedes CLK320 and a Volvo XC-90 and I must say that this car surpasses both in build quality and fun to drive factor. The 3.6 engine perfoms great, the car is vault-like and solid and the interior ergonomics are excellent. The interior is not as pretty as an Audi or BMW but I prefer this car to any german make I have owned.
