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.
Great when it runs!

I have loved my CTS for 4 years, except for minor glitches(when the sun roof kept opening at will. It took several tries to get that fixed! Then just 800 miles out of warranty, the timing chain broke!

I test drove a BWM, Volvo, Jaguar and found that the Cadillac CTS was more comfortable, better performing, and more fun. The back seat needs a little more leg room, but otherwise I am perfectly happy with the car. It provides excellent comfort and styling with great performance.

My 2005 Cadillac CTS is the best car that I have ever owned. Mind nad absolutely no defects. It has never been back to the dealer except for oil changes. It has an exceptional ride for a small car. It rides as well as or better than my wife's 2001 Cadillac DeVille. It is the closest thing to a sport car that I'll ever own. I'm 65 years old.

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.
