Best in it's class

Before I got my CTS this year I was driving a 2003 Cadillac Catera, which the CTS replaced. The Catera was a poor attempt to compete with the other luxury automakers who had made entry level automobiles. The CTS though is a vast improvement that not only looks better, but drives better, and comes with much more standard equipment and even better options. This has been one of the best cars that Cadillac has made so far. I would guess that the CTS is probably one of Cadillac's most successful vehicles since the STS, which also took the same form as the CTS when they were remaking the Sevilles. It is just a little larger but for the most part it is the same car. The CTS is also nicely priced.

My CTS is very nice, I enjoy driving it. I have had no trouble at all with it and it's sleek and sexy. It handles the road with such precision. Test drive one and see for yourself!

A really Hot Car

This is the first Caddy that I have purchased, and am extremely happy with it. This car trully is a perfect blend between sport and luxury. With the 6-speed manual, you can really have some fun, but when you want to just kick back, you can do that do. Stunning looks, many people turning there head at this car. Standard radio with XM is more then enough, very good power out of 7 speakers. For all those people looking at the cheaper Mercedes or BMWs, check out this excellent American vehicle first, you will not be disappointed.

Not sure what Edmunds say that this car can't keep up with it's competitors. This is an unbelievable automobile. Its fast, handles like nothing else in its bracket, and looks great. Just ask the all the gawkers to look at this car when it passes by. My is car black and black and it looks great. Have 28,000 miles on it with no quality problems, in fact brake wear is fantastic. All in all this is car with no competition.

Once I decided to purchase a Cadillac CTS, it was a very easy task. I picked the color with the sport and luxury package. What more could I want, besides a CTS-V of course? Well, was I surprised, once the snow melted off the roads, this is just a great car to drive. What fun is is to see eyes looking at my Cadillac zoom by. There are a few things that I think Cadillac could improve on though. I like hand brakes, I can't even see the parking brake petal when driving. Also, I know that this is minor but couldn't GM find room to put the date somewhere on the navigation system's screen. Overall I'm HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY with my CTS. I can't wait for 2007 model with all wheel drive.
