Used 2006 Cadillac CTS Sedan Consumer Reviews
Visible But Not Overbearing
It has been extremely reliable and easy to maneuver in traffic. Parks easily with good backing up visibility. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of newer cars but sometimes simplistic is better. Older drivers would like the ease of maneuvering yet visible in traffic. Very comfortable ride and very low maintenance. Gas mileage is remarkably good for an older car 22-27 in the city--highway.

After a long look, I bought a Caddy
I looked long and hard for a new ride. We test drove a Toyota Avalon, Infiniti, and Ford 500. I went to this Cadillac because of the exterior styling and a little improvement in fuel economy over my Tahoe Z71. We love the performance; I've also owned a Corvette and the ride and handling of the CTS are comparable and in some respects better given that the Vet blows you away with power. But I always wanted a powerful, comfortable family car that had some style and looks like I found it. The interior is roomy enough for the men in my family, all of them over 6 feet and 200+ lbs. But is quick and agile for me by myself.

The real deal
Recently drove my CTS 3.6 from Monterey to Big Sur and back on the Pacific Coast Highway. I drove at the limit up and down the hills and hairpin curves never using the brakes - just the sport shift! It was as if the car was on rails! I own a Mercedes and have owned a VW and a BMW. It handles just as well these do - but is more comfortable. It glides in and out of traffic with terrifc acceleration and with smooth, effortless shifting. GM doesn't know how good a car they have. Interior could be a little sexier.
Out of this world
This car is a dream to drive. I knew it was a great car but I did not know what a thrilling experience it can be to drive a 'near' sports car for that amount of money. I have owned a Cadillac DeVille before (1992) but the two vehicles cannot be compared. I also own an SUV (other brand) and am delighted with the CTS's comfort. I finally found a car that more nimble and more fun to drive and ride in than a BMW (which I still own and will get rid of) or my friends' Mercedes. I test drove the Toyota Avalon before deciding to buy the CTS. My advice: Drive a CTS before buying the Avalon; the handling will convince you - plus the CTS has style and character.
I love my car!
I have had my 2006 Cadillac CTS for about nine months and everytime I get in it, I think about how much I love it. My husband laughs at me because I still say it after this many months.
