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.

Awesome car - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By eots44 - June 30 - 12:06 pmFirst of all there is more than one trim level and engine option. I have the top trim level one with the upgraded 3.6 L and all wheel drive with the gold emblem package. Love every thing about the car I have bought other cars since this one but love it so much I kept it and still use it. Here 9 years later and about 180,000 miles she is still running strong and fun as hell to drive. I remember when I first test drove it I was in disbelief it was a caddy. Ive owned and remember the devilles, sevilles, and fleetwoods big floaty land yachts, but this is small and sporty, something I used to think wasnt in Cadillacs vocabulary.

Amazing American Car - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By pelicanbay225 - March 19 - 10:30 pmIve had this car for about 2 and a half months and this is absolutely amazing. I have the 3.6 L engine and acceleration is great and handling is also quite sharp, not to mention the turning radius on the car is one of the best out there. This car is super smooth at fast highway speeds and is a good looking car. When you compare it to other European cars in its class, this is hands down the best bang for the buck. This sure isnt just an old mans Cadillac. Im in college and I love it. This is proof that Americans can make superb quality cars. The newer generation models look 10 times as amazing. The CTS is definitely the greatest American car on the market today.

Best car I ever owned! - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By GolfKahuna - February 23 - 7:34 pmBought my CTS used with 46000 miles. It is my daily driver so I am racking up the miles on it. I have the 3.6L V6 and the performance is out of this world! Traction in the snow has been great with the Goodyear Triple Treads. My plan is to put 1 million miles on this thing!

3.6 VVT base model CTS rocks! - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By randlsa - November 16 - 2:00 amTo buy this car, I had to sacrifice some options to keep the price down. Im overjoyed at how amazing this car is still. I bought an 04 CTS with only one option... the engine upgrade/auto trans. The car literally floors me with its bold styling and performance. I thought Id regret dropping the options, and although Id rather have a V or a loaded model, Im extremely satisfied. I do not feel that the editors rating on Edmunds gives this car justice at all.

cts - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By technoid - October 16 - 10:00 amThe overall handling exceeded all expectations, smooth, solid ride, cornering and excellent braking characteristics. I elected to upgrade to the factory 17"wheels and go with the sport suspension package in lieu of larger aftermarket custom wheels and tires, good choice... The "edgy" sharp line exterior looks state-of-the-art.

3.6L Auto CTS - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By Bobbo S - July 16 - 2:00 amThe 3.6L 6cyl auto. Outstanding performance. I have driven the competition, and do not find much of a difference. Seems to be a good blend of its European competitors.

The Best Car Ive Owned - 2004 Cadillac CTS
By Joe - July 1 - 8:48 pmI have been loving every thing about this car since I bought it. It handles really nice. I love the power it has when needed, the firm suspension and the turning radius. I hope to have this for a long time.
