This Year's Model Updates:

The Cadillac CTS receives only minor trim and package revisions for 2006. Most significantly, there's a new 18-inch performance tire-and-wheel package available for 3.6-liter V6-equipped cars. Like the 17-inch wheel package it includes HID headlights, a sport-tuned suspension, and stability control, but also has a tire-pressure monitoring system and stronger brakes. Other changes include a new XM Nav Traffic feature and enhanced driver control for the automatic transmission.

Pros:
  • Excellent handling, spacious cabin, wide array of available features, alternative look.
Cons:

  • GM gets it right - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Ive have nothing but praise for this mid-size sedan. It handles flawlessly, its extremely comfortable, and has all the options anyone can possibly want. The 2.8L engine is as fast, if not quicker off the line than my 2003 Bonneville. GM has a winner.

  • Fantastic Car - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love my Cadillac CTS. I have owned a Seville in the past and though this car is smaller I prefer to drive it more. It has speed and great pick up. It has a quiet ride and looks good.

  • Style and Ride Outweigh Concerns - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The styling of my 2006 Cadillac CTS is great and very popular. Its ride is smooth and it corners well. I have some concerns about its winter performance with the real-wheel drive, but the jury is still out.

  • 3.6L CTS - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My Cadillac CTS 3.6L is really fun to drive. It handles awesome, its one of the nicest looking cars on the road, and the performance is top notch. The voice activated features seem unnecessary, but are fun to use. The memory seating is also really nice.

  • Great Car - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Why does anyone spend big money for pseudo Japanese products (Acura, Toyota Avalon, Toyota Camry) when you can drive a Caddy for the same money or less? The Cadillac CTS has an excellent ride and handling, comfort, firm suspension and class. GM deserves a lot more credit and customers than they are getting. The CTS is a winner and I sell Audis and Porsches for a living! The German cars are still the standard for safety, performance, and handling but for trouble-free affordable daily driving, Ill take the Caddy anytime.

  • This Car Saved My Life - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I loved the 2006 Cadillac CTS from the day I took delivery of it, but this past Sunday I loved it even more. My son and I were in a major accident and this car saved our lives. I slid on ice and hit a pole on my drivers side door with the pole falling down on top of the car. It bent the car in half, blew out most of the windows and smashed the roof. The impact of the pole was by my pelvis and legs. To my amazment my son and I did not have a scratch. The side curtian airbags deployed as did the airbag in the seat. This saved me from any trauma. The pole hit the drivers side window smashing it, when the side curtain airbag deployed it was between my head the glass and the pole. My family thanks you GM.

  • It Smoked a Mustang GT - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Just got my 2006 Cadillac CTS and I love it! I go back to the muscle cars in the 60s and 70s when I didnt like Cadillacs, but loved my GTO and Olds 442. I thought they were fun on the Georgia Highways at 140 mph, but they would not be a match for my CTS 3.6 Black Beauty, today. This car is a good reason to continue to cheer on our American manufacturers. Today at a stop light it smoked a Mustang GT to 80 MPH. He couldnt stay with it. I knew the CTS was good, but what suprised is me how good.

  • Cadillac Got it Right with the CTS - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I recently took delivery of my 2006 Cadillac CTS and have been very very impressed with *ALL* aspects of the vehicle - quality and comfort of the interior - excellent driving characteristics including exceptional road feel and a solid sport sedan feel to the drive - and of course, the exterior styling - which is a head turner. The Bose sound system is an absolute pleasure to listen to and I loved the design of the volume control button on the steering wheel. Overall this is a a sophisticated, well mannered driving machine that is capable of competing with the German and Japanese luxury badges.

  • Pleasantly Surprised - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My previous car was a Jaguar. The Cadillac CTS matches or outperforms the Jaguar in ride, acceleration and handling. The Jag was already in for repair at this point. The Jag interior was a little more stylish though, the CTS is a little plastic even with the wood trim.
