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 - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Have had the car for 1 week, excellent choice with the 3.6L V6, ride, handling, style, comfort, hardest part is learning about all of the gadgets, how to make them work, but that is not a problem, it is a pleasure to drive. On Star, the phone, and XM radio in additon to the 1SB package, with 6 disc Bose, and sunroof. Most fun I have had in my 40 years of driving, Thanks Cadillac.

  • The jurys still out - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    After a horrendous experience with a 97 Catera (the CTS predecessor), I hesitated before buying the CTS but read great reviews and heard great things, so made the plunge. Black/black, Sports Luxury Package, Chrome wheels, tinted windows, etc., absolutely beautiful. One month into ownership, the DVD Navigation died. Fuel gauges inaccurate and fluctuate. Gas mileage is poor.

  • Loving It!!!! - 2004 Cadillac CTS

    I also drive a bigger SUV and was afraid I would feel cramped in this smaller vehicle but I dont feel cramped at all. I have room along with my passengers. Everything I need to use is right at my finger tips unlike in other cars I have driven. The get up and go on this car is great!! Ive actually been stopped by people thinking of buying a CTS and I havent had one bad thing to say about it.

  • 2004 CTS Nav Scrn Blinds Driver w/sun - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I own a 2004 Cadillac CTS with navigation system. The screen is so poorly shielded that the sun will cause a blinding light in the drivers eyes when it hits the screen in the moring or evening and reflects to the driver. I almost wrecked the first time this happened to me. I have since had the back windshield tinted very dark. My dealer and Cadillac ignorned my problem and complaints. Be careful if you have this configuration. The tint seems to help. Ken Poland

  • RED ALERT - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Be careful. The 2004 CTS is so smooth and quiet you will lose all sense of speed. The beautiful red line color attracts radar and lasers. The cop liked my car so much he wrote the ticket down from 77 in a 55 to 61. Lets hear it for the U.S.A. I love this car.

    This is my first Cadillac, so far so good. I love the way this car handles! The CTS handles just like a sports car. I am also pleasanlty surprised with the power of the 3.6 V6. The drivers seat is very roomy, I am a 6 280lbs power lifter and I have plenty of room.

    Fun,fast, and economical. The comfort level of the ride is extraordinary espcially given th short wheel base. Affordable luxury in an American car.

  • Fun car - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Great car, fun to drive, but it would be even better with front wheel or all wheel drive. A little slippery on snow.

  • 3.6L V-6 - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I just purchased my new Caddy (Black on Black). Car performs incredibly. Chose Caddy over 04 Acura TL. The 3.6L V-6 is a must.
