Bought it used in Dec 2008 with 26000 for a DEAL. 6 speed manual, limited slip diff and luxury package for under 13000! 22 in the city, over 30mpg highway even in the smokey mountains in much lower gears than necessary! The perfect car...1 week before warranty went out took it to dealership in jacksonvilel NC, they said car was in tip top shape, 2 weeks later the water pump seals blew out, water pump seized up & the synchros for 1st and reverse stopped working. GM said sorry, this happens, a cadillac that was 4 years old and had 32000 miles on it that needed over 3000 dollars worth of repairs. but the dealership offered me an extra 50 bucks on trade for my trouble.
A real head-turner!

I bought my 2004 Cadillac CTS 3.6L black beauty in March 2004. It is loaded with the sports luxury package, DVD navigation, etc. My only complaints are the lack of a locking gas cap and the DVD Navigation system is not 100% reliable in midtown Toronto. Otherwise the car is spectacular. I wouldn't give it up for the world.

My Cadillac CTS V6 with navigation has an MSRP of around $44,000. loaded. Its ride is smooth, inviting, and responsive. The engine has a nice American roar to it when you accelerate through a yellow light. Its exterior leaves nothing behind except for the people staring at it, of course. Its interior with heated lumbar seats is accomidating, welcoming, and deserves your cruisin' time. The Bose sound sytem is excellent. You can't drive this car without the music blaring. The navigation system helps if you stink with maps, or are just lazy like me!. I replaced the wheels and rims for 20". I guess automakers haven'tcaught up yet in the tire department. My new tires were an extra $5,000 out of my pocket. I have not had any problems with the vehicle yet and I hope this will continue.
Everything you want!

The 2005 Cadillac CTS is evrything I wanted in a cat: performance, comfort and reliability at a less price that is lower than its European competition.
Good but good be better

Our CTS has been mostly reliable save for the electronic dash that seems to go black every so often. Shutting off the car for a few minutes brings it back. Check engine light came on once. Dealer could not find the fault. Reset and been ok since. A car of this price should have more than an ugly black plastic dash. (something GM changed in 2008) Minus? Depreciation. The worst I ever experienced. This 3 year old car is not even worth 40% of what it cost new. Seat belts are awful. No passenger grab handle. Quite an omission in a $45,000 car. Overall the CTS is a very fine $25-30k automobile. But $45K? Forget it.
