CTS - Stop Ignoring It!

I have 86,000 miles as I drive on sales calls from GA,NC,SC,OH,KY,WV and had owned/rented Buicks, Taruses, Mercuries, etc. This CTS is the most comfortable; and gas sipping at 31 - 33 mpg at 70 MPH al day! What galls me is how the researchers continue to ignor the CTS when comparing it to it's peers. I will stick with the 6 cylinder; but will get yet another CTS!

I have only had this car a week, but already I am hooked. I feel that the CTS is a great model. It has a lot of luxury, great appeal, lines to die for, and smoth as silk handling.

I leased a 05 CTS and have numerous problems with the dealer as well as the vehicle itself. Rear end differential replaced at 800 miles due to a howling noise at approx 45mph. Passenger reading lamp out as well as passenger temperature toggle not working. It's a shame as I love the looks of the vehicle but would suggest that buyers beware, I don't think the quality of this vehicle matches the price range. I am currently working with GM for resoultion to all the problems, it will be interesting to find the outcome.

Just picked up my cadillac CTS and already in the shop having rear differential replaced. Owned a BMW 5 series previously and kick myself for going back to a GM. The whining out of the rear end started with only 200 miles on the car, so much for QUALITY. I now know why people stick with premium imports.
