I am approaching the final months of my lease and my CTS with 36K miles is still fun to drive and looks great. I've noticed that in the past 3 months that the car is "loosening up". More squeaks and rattles. This also happened to my Chevy Equinox at the 2.5 year mark. I am looking for my next lease and I may avoid another GM because of this. My CTS still drives well and looks great inside and out. I avg 19-20 mph in mixed driving.
Am I DISAPPOINTED In my Cadillac? YES I AM!!!

My husband recently bought an '08 Cadillac which surprised me because of the problems we encountered with the '02 we had. The Cadillac is a very nice looking car, but to drive one is disappointing to me. First of all the sun roof leaks, the car sqeaks horribly. When riding along the engine or the transmission causes the car to jerk. Of course we bought this car used and as they say you get what you pay for, but as working people we cannot afford to throw our money into a car that is already needing repairs done. I got into the car after it rained and the drivers side floor was wet from the sunroof leaking. How do we manage both, payment and a repair bill. I must admit that I'd always wanted to own a CADILLAC, what a classy looking car but from the experience we've had, I was honestly upset when my husband brought home another one. O' my lord Cadillac, what's wrong here? Again I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with this car!!!!

I am extremely disappointed with my 2008 Cadillac CTS AWD 3.6 DI. This car has been nothing but problems. At 10,000 miles the check engine light went on and they had to take my engine apart due to a cylinder head problem. The car was in the shop for 28days. At 30,000 miles Cadillac had to replace my engine. The car burns oil and you will not make the recommended 10k between oil changes. I now have 38k miles and i discovered rain water in my passenger seat floor. lastly, I just experienced a major transmission problem that resulted in flames coming out the side of the car. if you are thinking of buying this car, I would suggest you spend the 50k on a car built with better quality.
piece of junk

I have had nothing but problems with my cadillac cts. It started making noised at around 15,000 miles. I ended up needing to have the entire driveshaft replaced. The brakes have always made noises that they shouldn't and I just had one of the fuel injectors replaced. It got stuck open according to the tecnician and the car started smoking and smelled like fuel. The car is totally not worth the money I paid for it.
First Cadillac I've ever owned

I've had this car for over 2 years and it has been great! The only issue with it was a recall for the washer fluid heater but other than that it's been perfect. This is by far the best car I've ever owned and I've had 27 cars! Solid, quiet, fast and fun. If you live in a snowy climate the AWD is a real plus, mine had handled 2 Minnesota snowy winters without a problem. Cadillac did a great job with this and I would not hesitate to recommend it based on my experience.
