Overview & Reviews
For 2004, the CTS adds a more powerful 3.6-liter V6 in addition to the standard 3.2-liter motor. The base suspension has been modified with new shocks, while the Sport package is now available on all models. The interior receives a slight refresh in the form of a color-keyed center console, additional chrome trim and white lighting. Lastly, an engine water temperature gauge replaces the clock on the dash.
- Excellent handling, spacious cabin, alternative look.

Just purchased a 2004 Cadillac CTS - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By tonelocdog - May 5 - 10:48 pmI am only 24 years old, and I just want to say I am very impressed with my new 2004 Cadillac CTS. I am picking it up tomorrow, because thats when they will have it ready for me. So I dont have much experience with it except for taking it for a test drive, but boy am I impressed. I simply love the futuristic exterior, the whole outer body of this vehicle. Inside my car has an all black interior and is equipped with many updated features such as XM satellite radio, a wood trim steering wheel, an auto theft deterrent device, and the new stabilitc control system. Also, the lumbar cushioned seat is fantastic. I am similarly impreseed with the memory drivers seat. The car handles very smoothly like I am floating on air. And it is as quiet as a mouse.

Get some options - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By susieQ - April 16 - 3:12 pmI love my CTS! It is so easy to drive and park. Visibility is good. I have the Luxury Sport package with the 255 HP engine, Bose sound system, and the 17 inch wheels. This is a very practical and comfortable family car and gets excellent gas mileage. My only issues with this car is the door height from the inside (I always have to open the door when I am at the drive-up ATM) the fact that the car can easily be accidentally shifted into neutral from drive if my passenger crosses legs or shifts and bumps the shifter, and that the blower for the climate controls is VERY loud. A loaner CTS I recently drove with fewer options was not as enjoyable. Get upgrades on this car.

2004 CTS, 3.6L Luxury Model - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By Mike Boyd - March 10 - 12:38 pmMy 2004 Cadillac CTS is smooth and fast. It is a total joy to drive. When hitting a headwind or crosswind, you can hardly tell. It has no road noise and is a real head-turner. I have had absolutely no maintenance issues. Just change the oil every 10,000 miles w/Mobil 1, put in the gas and go.

BMW Killer - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By jeff - February 18 - 2:26 pmWhen I was in the market for a new car, I was looking extensiviley for the best midsize luxury sedan, and did not care one bit about brand or price if I felt that the car was a good value. I ended up purchasing a 2004 Cadillac CTS. The best car to me means, in the highest 5% class of all cars made for safety, comfort, drivablity, performance, reliabilty, operating cost, and total value. Spending months investigating automotive publications and internet reviews, comparing detailed specification data, and driving many of the cars that met my stringent requirements, only two cars remained out of all the competitors. They were the BMW 5-series and the CTS. The one area that seperated the cars by a wide margin was CTSs high value/lower price for the better overall offering.

CTS 2004 - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By Wideglide - February 18 - 2:00 amWe test drove the competition, Audi, BMW and the Lexus. The CTS has them all beat for value and quality. The craftsmanship is excellent. I have examined the car inside and out and the fit and finish is as good or better than the much higher priced German and Japanese cars. We thought the Japanese interiors and to a less of a degree the Europeans, were a bit on the "tacky" side. Their interiors reminded us of a Las Vegas Casino, just "too" much. The CTS interior is very tasteful, clean and very pleasing to the eyes. It is not so cluttered with the tacky plastic-looking-wood trim that youll find in the Lexus.

Optional wheels - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By Jrhemp - January 3 - 1:48 pmI tried everything from an Audi to a Lincoln in this syle and class. For the price, it is a value. The only thing I dont like is the 16" rims. I asked the dealer for an upgrade to 17" or 18", (whatever is on the cts-v) and they told me it was not available but I could purchase the tires, rims and the equipment after I bought the car for $900.00 each rim and $200 each tire. I did not even want to know about the other stuff I needed after that. It is a great car but looks much better with larger tires and rims. I do like it better than my Audi S4 except for the speed of the S4 was unreal!

Dont Buy the CTS - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By patpatcadillac - December 13 - 7:38 pmI have oened 1983 and 1989 Cadillac Fleetwoods and a 1999 Cadilac Deville The CTS isnt as nice as any of them, luxury-wise. I also have a 2000 Mazda 2k Miata LS. The CTS isnt even as sporty as the Miata.\ Well, maybe it can keep pace with it on a straightaway but the Miata would kill it in the curves. Make no mistake the CTS is NOT an all weather Corvette. THE GOOD: The new CTS has great looking sheet metal, ergonomic steering wheel and console controls shiftable automatic transmission w/sport and snow options. It does have a trip computer. ItÂ’s a dry pavement 0-100 monster. THE BAD: It felt drifty on the highway at first-feeling passed. It needed to have an alignment before 5,000 miles. The dealer couldnt do it the same day and the fix cost me $50 at an alignment shop.
