I purchased my 08 CTS two years ago when my 04 CTS (that was previously run in the ground by the previous owner) cost me $4k to repair and still wasn't right. I reluctantly looked at another CTS mainly because the reviews had it rated higher than every over Cadillac model car out there and since I'm 6'3" 290 pounds the Caddy is really generous with Driver legroom. I have had zero issues (mechanical or otherwise) with the car since purchase. No warning lights, squeaky sounds, falling apart interior, nothing. I must admit that the car came from a previous older couple that treated it like the queen she is. It had 69k on it when purchased and it's sitting at 90k now. It's very response (especially when put in manual mode). It's much quieter than any of my other vehicles (little to no road noise). Everything is tightly together and works properly. Not sure how the sunroof and windows were able to withstand two major hailstorms that totally destroyed hundreds of other vehicles here in Colorado Springs in Summer of 2018 but even with some dents and dings on the body I still can't bring myself to risk giving up such a stellar performer. Cadillac got it right with this one!!!

Owned the car since early 2008 with 28k miles and it continues to work near flawlessly. The ride is smooth, but still feels connected to the road. The engine is powerful, though at times feels weak since it's coupled with AWD. Besides regular maintenance, the only issues have been a broken trunk net clip.

I have had my CTS for almost two years. Overall, I am mostly happy with my purchase. Pros: AWD handles great in Alaska Winter weather. Styling is beautiful and have power to spare. Cons: Squeaky brakes since day one! Most irritating: rattle from steering column. Both were deemed "normal" by dealer service department. At $15,00 maybe these things are normal. At almost $50K they should not be. As much as I love this car, with the constant "normal" rattles, I will not be buying another GM luxury car.
Great car, nice ride.

My first American car, after several Japenese sedans. The styling and build quality are excellent. I've had a few quirky problems, but no less reliable than the Toyotas, Infiniti, and Nissans that I've owned. The CTS has been much more reliable than the G35 which I traded. The CTS has been a low maint vehicle as I do oil changes and tire rotation only every 10K miles. I've been averaging 20 mpg in mixed driving, which is a bit disappointing, but it only requires non-premium fuel. This is no BMW, but I also paid $7K less than a comparably equipped 3- series and the CTS is much roomier for a 6ft. 200lb driver.
A great American auto

I drive this car through the streets of Las Vegas and it looks great and gets plenty of stares. The car pulls away fast at intersections and even in this summer heat is always comfortable inside. I thought the sunroof would be a problem but it has not been an issue. Sometimes I'll just take it out on the road for the sheer fun of driving it.
