My 2005 Cadillac CTS is a pleasure to drive. I drove it 3,800 miles in three weeks and had a blast. Its performance for a 255 hp V6 is great. The best part are the perks associated with Cadillac ownership. The Mid-Missouri dealership treats us like family. I will purchase again.

Cool Chicks Cruise in Caddy's

The Cadillac CTS rocks in its sporty style and luxury styling. I never thought I'd be a Caddy girl but I feel glamorous behind the wheel and rock out with the superb sound system. I cannot wait for the 09 CTS-V and STS-V. Quite frankly, I could afford the other luxury vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) but none of them had the same qualities I found in my CTS. My Cadillac is as hot as a pin-up girl - everyone takes a second look because she's smokin' hot! I'm proud to be a Caddy girl!

Beside computer problems, my 2005 Cadillac CTS has problems with its OEM tires. The CTS wears out tires after less than 15,000 miles. The dealer experts says it's normal, sorry not for me.

Bought the CTS after owning 3 Maximas. Thought I would be getting another Maxima (2005), but after test driving the CTS, I ran to the dealer and put my money down on the table. Love the car-- great looks, great drive. Still somewhat paranoid about buying an American car, but with the 4 yr/ 50,000 mile warranty, I feel less so. The JD Powers recent review of Cadillac also ups my confidence level in the car. My last American car was a 1974 Vega- Fiasco. Hoping that the CTS lasts me 7- 8 years, my usual time of ownership for a car.
