Pros: Cadillac finally seems to be serious about where they want to be in the marketplace.
Cons: Engine noise should be worked on. This car should be standard with 17" wheels.
The Bottom Line: Great Design,well thought out control console.This car is now a major competitor in the price range of the CTS. Cadillac should be excited about this car.
GM and Cadillac has finally got their act together to compete with the rest of the world. The styling and features for the most part have been well thought out and Cadillac has taken a bold move with their drastic designs of this car. This is my 5th...

Pros: *Excellent* handling; head-turner; comfortable seats; fun to drive; good MPG; great sound system
Cons: Snow pusher - even among other rear wheel drive vehicles, this one really underperforms.
The Bottom Line: Best Handling in Class
I must admit, I was initially attracted to this vehicle because of its style. It still is a head-turner, two years after purchasing it. However, what I really love about this car is the performance and handling. As far as handling goes, you would be ...

Pros: Styling, handling, comfort, acceleration, manual transmission
Cons: console styling and materials, tiny glovebox
The Bottom Line: After driving it for a few months, you realize the CTS is simply world-class.
Cadillac has finally gotten serious about building an agile "European" sport sedan. And they did a terrific job.
I test drove them all - the Audi A4, BMW 325, Jaguar X-type, Volvo S60, Saab 93, VW Passat, even Lexus and Infiniti. There are...

Pros: Exciting to drive, sporty with a great interior; Young and fresh
Cons: Glove compartment is small;
The Bottom Line: Sporty, sexy, young and fresh. A car with a personality. No other car looks the same! A must-have if you like to stand out!
I just bought the CTS "luxury" model this month. It is sporty and classy. It is definitely a head-turner. I was waiting for Cadillac to come out with a younger, more vivacious looking car and that is what the CTS is. It has great pick up and when you...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: handling, styling, service, base price
Cons: option pricing
The Bottom Line: This is an exciting car, any way you slice it. With it had tinted windows because I've got a permanent goofy smile on my face while driving it.
Wow. I never thought I could love a car this much.
I will always remember the first time I laid eyes on the Evoq concept car--the prototype for the new Sigma architecture at Cadillac. I was living in New York at the time, and I simply...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Everything! I've had it for a month and have put it through it paces. WOW!
Cons: The speedometer is difficult to read in daylight. The trunk lid is difficult to open.
The Bottom Line: This car is a true "cross-over" vehicle. It has all the excitement and response of a sports car wrapped in beautiful decadent luxury typical of Cadillac.
All my life I had dreamed of owning a real sports car. You know, 2 seater, fast, eye-catcher (chic magnet), and gently used. I test drove several but in each one I felt cramped and closed in. I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't find it. ...

Pros: Quite fast, sounds awesome. Five speed is a sweet, sweet thing.
Cons: I can't afford one.
The Bottom Line: The best Cadillac in years, maybe ever.
I was quite pleasantly surprised the first time I pressed the accelerator on the CTS featured at my work. The sound blew me away. The Cadillac is like none I had ever heard before, very impressive. Like they actually wanted you to hear it. The...

Pros: American, Distinctive styling, Superb overall performance, Unique interior, comfortable, well built
Cons: Foot parking brake, no lumbar adjustment, option packages, analog clock, wheels
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the CTS to anyone who loves to drive and wants new age style. It is time to buy American!
As I was shopping for a new vehicle, I test drove almost every car you could think of. Even some I could not afford. Just to see what just fit. The CTS blew them all away. It has distinctive styling that you cant find anywhere else in the market. The...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent looking, nice to drive, cool technologies, good safety features
Cons: A tad high on road noise
The Bottom Line: If you want a mid-size alternative to BMW, a sporty yet comfortable gadget-lover's car, check out the CTS to see if it is for you.
I recently leased a CTS with the luxury package. I never thought I could get so excited about a car. I look forward to any excuse to drive it including supermarket runs and other such mundane trips. Even in traffic, I enjoy sitting in the extremely...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Exterior styling, interior design, ride, handling, overall quality
Cons: Rear headroom may be skimpy (doesn't apply to me), minor gripes
The Bottom Line: A Cadillac that makes one wonder how it could get any better than this
I recently test drove the CTS because I was skeptical of whether or not this really was the BMW-fighting Cadillac GM tells us it is. After my initial test drive, I'd say there is no question in my mind that it is. Buyers also seem to think so. This...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: A great near-luxury package from an American car company.
Cons: I'm not crazy about the marginal power from the 3.2 motor in my 2003.
The Bottom Line: Very good all-around performance, craftsmanship and luxury in an American sedan that I can afford - what's not to like?
I'm an anti Caddy kind of guy. I've been a car nut all my life, and among the 39 cars I've owned there has been nothing remotely similar to a Caddy. I like crisp performance, true high tech, good handling, and manageable size - all these eliminated the ...

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: 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...
