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.

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!
