I haven't had a chance to put many miles on it this weekend, but my new CTS is a dream! I spend a lot of time in my car, so the interior quality was a big priority - I am impressed. I was planning on another black car, but nearby dealers offered only white, silver, or red. I picked red and am thrilled with my choice!

I have had a good experience wityh my 2005 Cadillac CTS so far. The car is quiet and tight without rattles. It has a firm ride and does not sway when rounding curves at high speeds. I like the leather interior, and so far it has been very reliable with no problems whatsoever. I am not crazy about the angular exterior design, but the styling is not too bad. The car still gets a lot of attention and nice comments from friends and neighbors. This is my third Cadillac, and I prefer American cars because in my opinion, they are less expensive to maintain, and this Cadillac is much more roomy (especailly in head room) than many European and Japanese cars which cost a lot more.

A blast to drive! Traded in a Porsche Boxster for my Cadillac CTS and have been enjoying this car just as much, if not more. Its engine is responsive and its steering is a dream. I test drove a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and a Lexus, but nothing has the look of a CTS. It is a very unique, muscular looking car.

Now, you might think me sick. I just traded my 2001 Jaguar XKR for a 2004 CTS. Object: get practical and stay sporty. First drive on the car - great, smooth, and agile on the freeway. Around town, it is noisy and a little clunky though. I have the sport suspension. This car is loaded except for navigation. The interior trim is really American cheesy. Why can these automakers spend a little more to make a little more? You can't play with the Germans and Japanese unless you at least MEET their specs. The dealer did a faux CTS-V package with mesh grille, spoiler, and 18 wheels (from STS) with new Michelins. Plus the color is a premium red. It looks like a hot streak. It is only what Chevy should have done with Impala.
