CTS BEAUTY
THIS CAR IS GREAT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. IT HAS STYLE AND IS IN A CLASS ALL ITS OWN
CTS is really a Chevy
This car is more than a disappointment. I have had over 40 new cars and this is one of the worst. The car cannot stay in alignment and already have had six new tires in 10K miles. The car is noisy and the whine or howl in the transmission is getting worse. The dealer says it is comes from the rear end and Cad has no fix at this time. I have a 2004 Toyota Solara and a Lexus and they both put this car to shame. GM must do better to keep my business.

Perfect 10
I have only had this car a week, but already I am hooked. I feel that the CTS is a great model. It has a lot of luxury, great appeal, lines to die for, and smoth as silk handling.
A great alternative...
This is a great alternative to the usual suspects (3-Series, C-Class) with stand-out styling and performance to match. Cadillac really got this one right. The engine is flexible with lots of torque AND loves to rev. 5-spd auto is so smooth. This car has great turn in and response to input. It's roomy enough for two kids in car seats in back. I love the styling, although I know this is polarizing design. I've gotten lots of "thumbs-up" and compliments in parking lots. Growing up with imports, I decided to take a look as I'd heard great things about CTS. I could not be happier with my vehicle choice. RWD is back and I'm lovin' it!
Shop before you buy
I leased a 05 CTS and have numerous problems with the dealer as well as the vehicle itself. Rear end differential replaced at 800 miles due to a howling noise at approx 45mph. Passenger reading lamp out as well as passenger temperature toggle not working. It's a shame as I love the looks of the vehicle but would suggest that buyers beware, I don't think the quality of this vehicle matches the price range. I am currently working with GM for resoultion to all the problems, it will be interesting to find the outcome.
