Best Sedan on the Market
This was a long process of comparing price ranges and ameneties, and Cadillac was the clear winner. I have the Sport & Luxury packages and for the money, could not be happier. If you like manual shifters, this is the smoothest in low to high speeds and gives punch when needed. Great car.
Best Car I've Owned
I've owned a 2000 VW New Bettle, and a 1997 Saturn SC2 since graduating college, and my 2005 Cadillac CTS is the best car that I've ever owned, hands down. Its sharp and agile steering with a powerful engine makes this car a winner. I get lots of stares and appreciative comments on looks.

2005 Cadillac CTS 3.6
Have not had any problems. Fun car to drive not only the accelerating but it hangs to the road with a small turning radius.
New Fan of CTS
This is my first venture into the luxury market and the CTS is a real nice blend of luxury and performance. The size is just right and the features are great for a personal car. A 6 CD dash-mounted player, satellite radio and OnStar handle all the entertainment and the 3.6L engine is strong enough for quick driving (I couldn't justify getting the more expensive V-series and it's potential for speeding tickets). My only complaint is an amplifier that has not performed a few times, rendering the radio silent. It was diagnosed and will soon be fixed when I get the time. I got the redline color and the 17 inch chrome wheels. It is a beautiful car, although I may lose it to my wife.
Took me by surprise
Drove lots of the top-of-the line imports, then after driving a top-of-the-line Saab spotted the CTS on the lot of the same dealer and asked to drive it. Cadillac was not on my list of cars to test so imagine my surprise when I was amazed by the performance. Continued on my new car quest with more import test drives, and after all was done ended up back at the Cadillac dealer and purchased the CTS. Not only did I get a fantastic car I got a fantastic deal ... with the current weakness of the dollar against foreign currency (esp. the Euro) I saved many thousands. The CTS is a true "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" car ... a luxury car that turns into a raw sports car at the whim of the driver.
