Pros: GREAT LOOKING CAR...FUN TO DRIVE
Cons: BAD QUALITY...LEAKING WINDSHIELD..FLOODED CAR...Now RUINED and no help offered from GM
The Bottom Line: DON'T BUY THIS OR ANY CADILLAC
I can only say a few words about the CTS. After purchasing in Feb 02, I was thrilled with the looks, comfort, and drive of this car. But that excitement has now turned to anger, frustration, and TOTAL DISSATISFACTION with GM & Cadillac. The car has been...

Pros: Nice looking design, nice ergonomics.
Cons: Beware of the AC leaking into the cabin and flooding the interior. This is common!
The Bottom Line: the car is a lemon
My CTS flooded due to the AC draining inside the car.
This seems to be a common problem as I speak to more owners.
The seat tracks rusted, and the wire harness got wet.
The sunroof was replaced, the oil cooler leaked...

Pros: None
Cons: Slow, lack luster performance, bad build quality, horrible reliability, and bad dealer service.
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend the CTS to anyone but my enemies.
When I first saw the CTS at a car show I said to myself “finally, a true sports sedan from the US”. So when they became available in my area I immediately went out and took one for a test drive. I thought it was a little slow but the dealer...

Pros: Looks, radio
Cons: NO substance. cheap interior, expesive options. Does not feel special.
The Bottom Line: If you are a complete label queen buy a Cadillac, otherwise buy a Toyota.
what a sucker. Once again, in Cadillac we see the worst of American spirit and advertising. I really, really, wanted to believe that this was a special car. I went out and bought a 2003 CTS. It has a few upgrades like the wood trim and the larger ...

Pros: Good value for the bucks, runs on regular gas

The Bottom Line: This is my 100th product review! Go read it!
Cadillac is attempting to re-invent itself. And with most of your customer base preparing to set up an appointment with the Grim Reaper soon, this is important. The first step in this reinvention is the CTS, a new entry-level sports sedan intended to...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Base price, Tons of available options, Overall performance.
Cons: A few quality control issues, Engine could do with some more power.
The Bottom Line: The CTS is an impressive automobile, and a dramatic improvement over the Catera.
Cadillac launched its assault against European sports sedans long before the CTS (Cadillac Touring Sedan), first with a car named Cimarron that didn't make it through the 1980s, then came the infamous Catera which made its debut in the mid 1990s and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: passing power, ride, handling
Cons: standard 16-inch wheels look a little small, cargo room, trunk opening could be larger
The Bottom Line: Styling issue aside, the CTS is well-equipped, fun-to-drive, entry-level luxury sedan that is trying hard to be what it is not.
The 2003 Cadillac CTS was first shown at the at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August 2001. Cadillac's aim was to create a true sport sedan with a European driving feel. To achieve this, Cadillac spent a lot of time tuning the suspension and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: distinctive style and body lines! handling - rims and rubber - gadgets!!
Cons: radical style. needs V8!! based on old ideas
The Bottom Line: If you are a die hard domestic car buyer, and want something spicy like the new imports. This is well worth a look.
Cadilac is back with an attempt to fight off all those neat new imports (g35, is300, maxima, 3.2CL, 3.5 TL). And they've come a long way!!
Make sure that you get the sport package. or else you might want to consider another vehicle, the...

Pros: Made with a very creative design with the luxury and style of a Cadillac.
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: This car feels like a race car with the luxury of a Cadillac. This is great to show off because of it's ingenious design.
The new CTS has a very appealing image to the younger aduience. Cadillac has created a car for the younger teenage consumer. The CTS comes with a 5- speed automatic or 5- speed manual 3.2L 220 hp V6 engine. This car can RACE!
Its fast engine is...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Powerful, uniqe stand-out design, great handling and nice interior
Cons: Crummy base stereo, bit loud inside, bad rear leg room, really ugly rims
The Bottom Line: Other than the truly crummy base sound system I like the car a lot. Bad rims, a few missing touches, poor options packages for price.
Other than the truly crummy base sound system I like the car a lot. The way the options are packaged it was imposible to simply get a better stereo and rear folding seat without getting a bunch of stuff I didn't want to pay for. Almost stopped me from...

Pros: Good move for Cadillac
Cons: Needs a little refinement
The Bottom Line: A car that should definitely be check out!
I think the new design of the CTS is pretty nice. The car mechanically is awesome. The only mechanical problem I had during my test drive was that the engine should have had more power (especially from a company that has some of the most powerful 8’s and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, distinctive styling that makes a strong statement, base price
Cons: Option pricing, no temperature gauge, glove compartment hits passenger's shins, rear seat a bit cramped
The Bottom Line: Finally, a premium American sedan for serious drivers. Light on luxury, the CTS is all about sport. Except with the manual transmission, which oddly makes the car feel less energetic.
For decades, Cadillac was the leading seller of luxury cars in North America. Its lead began to slip when its cars were downsized in the 1980s, turning off the brand’s traditional customers, and the new designs failed to win over new customers. In ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: The only mad max machine on the market.
Cons: Headlamps and GM Customer Assistance
The Bottom Line: The CTS is a great car if you only use it as a day car. With only 600 miles on it, I can't say too much else.
You can read about the CTS from all the other comments, ie: styling, engine, handling, etc. I want all to be aware that there is a design problem with the headlamps on the CTS. With low beams on, a definite shadow/bar is seen. It looks like a boomerang...
