This Year's Model Updates:

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.

  • Blue Chip - 2004 Cadillac CTS

    Navigation system, memory positions and misc. presets are difficult to program. Memory positions do not always go to the positions determined by the key fob which is used. Cumulative odometer and trip odometer do not show the same mileage.

  • Cant go wrong - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This car has it all, styling, comfort, and power. I never thought I would buy a Cadillac, but after I test drove it, there was no reason not to. It beat the BMW 530i and the Mercedes E320 in the 0-60, 1/4 mile and slalom. Extremely comfortable seats. Best car Ive had.

  • Great car - beats Japanese hands down - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Best car I have owned in 23 years. Goes still rides like the day I drove it home from the dealer. No squeaks, bumps, rattles. Stiff, solid ride, lots of power. GM - lose the goodyear RS/A tires. Pirelli or Michelins please.

    This car is hot! Just bought it and love it. Pretty good on gas everyone does a double take when they see this car. Great power with excelent handeling for its size. I like a more spacous car not a small car like the BMW or Audi too small. Previosly owned BMW 530 this car handles better and is faster and gets more looks. i had a lot of problems with that BMW never get one. Hope this car is reliable, too soon to tell.

  • My CTS - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    MY 2003 IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST CARS I HAVE EVER OWNED. ITS A GREAT LOOKING CAR WITH LOTS OF BELLS AND WHISTLES.....AND THE PRICE IS UNBEATABLE. I ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR SO MUCH. THERE IS PLENTY OF POWER FROM THE V6 ENGINE. I THINK CADILAC REALLY SPENT THE TIME TO DEVELOPE THIS CAR INTO A WINNER. I WILL DEFINATELY BUY ANOTHER ONE, ONCE MY LEASE IS EXPIRED.

  • After 3 years, CTS great car - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    2004 CTS was purchased new. After 3 years, has been a great car. Love the OnStar, mileage, looks. No problems. After my 85 Caddy disaster, thought I would never buy another Caddy. Just bought a new STS last week. Most reviews are after a few weeks of ownership. After 3 years with the CTS, I bought the STS and my wife still drives the CTS. That speaks volumes.

  • CTS will spoil you - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    You will not want any other car once a CTS spoils you. Only downside: so high-tech/state-of- the-art that it will take you awhile to learn all fancy features.

  • Cadillac CTS with 3.6 liter engine - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is the best car I have ever owned; the drive and handling is suberb, the engine is peppy with ample horsepower to carry the weight and accelerate as needed. On a dollar-for-quality and performance basis, I dont think theres a Euro luxury sports sedan that can begin to compare with the CTS.

  • Excellent Car for Intl Market - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Lincoln LS first, now Cadilac have both convinced me American engineers can lead the world on price/luxury/performance/cost of ownership curve. Its also interesting to find the BMW 7 Series designed by an American. We will see how my service is beyond the first year, but so far GREAT.
