New Cadillac

Cadillac has a winner. We were looking at the Acura TL (very nice car). The Acura had a great interior with lots of standard features but, the exterior styling is so-so. In fact, it is not easy to differentiate between the Acura TSX at first glance. The Cadillac has superior exterior styling and an interior meant to seem more serious like its European competitors. With comparable handling and better responsiveness from a dead stop or highway passing than the TL (due to a higher peak/flat torque curve at roughly 3,000 rpm) the CTS has my vote. I made my decision based on rational objective reasoning. Throwing objectivity out the window, I feel better driving an American car.

I am very disappointed with my 2006 Cadillac CTS. With a $36,000 sticker price you expect a nice car. It ha no heated seats, no rear seat ducts, no homelink, no power passenger seat, no memory seat, and no compass. This was a joke considering all of the competitors have these options at this price. If you want them...expect to pay around $40,000. The engine noise expecially dugint hard acceleration is loud, I expect this in a $15,000 Pontiac G6, not a $36,000 Cadillac CTS. The build quality can't compare to Infiniti, Lexus, or Acura. There are better cars for the money.

I bought this car thinking it would be my forever car, problems the first year I had it. I was rear ended I haven't been right since the accident and neither has the Cadillac. I have fixed many of problems since I had the Cadillac, but the last problem which I am experiencing with now is the Electronic Stability system. I paid a lot of money for this extended warranty but to no avalibity it ended before I could use it. I whole purpose I am question this is this ESS should be on recall why should I have to spend close to nine hundred to have this problem fixed when I have researched this and a lot of people are having the same issues. I have a couple of friends that wanted to purchase a cadillac and I told them don't do it, it is not worth the money.

Excessive road noise,engine noise(sounds like a truck). It drowns out any conversation. Otherwise a fine car.The lease expires soon. It will be a Lexus this time.
