Overview & Reviews

The base 3.2-liter V6 engine has been dropped; a 2.8-liter V6 will become the base engine later in the model year. A six-speed manual transmission is now standard regardless of engine choice. Package contents have been shuffled, and "synthetic leather" will be added to the options list later this year.

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

  stay away !!! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By zohar - April 9 - 6:56 pm

  Beside computer problems, my 2005 Cadillac CTS has problems with its OEM tires. The CTS wears out tires after less than 15,000 miles. The dealer experts says its normal, sorry not for me.

  I have had a good experience wityh my 2005 Cadillac CTS so far. The car is quiet and tight without rattles. It has a firm ride and does not sway when rounding curves at high speeds. I like the leather interior, and so far it has been very reliable with no problems whatsoever. I am not crazy about the angular exterior design, but the styling is not too bad. The car still gets a lot of attention and nice comments from friends and neighbors. This is my third Cadillac, and I prefer American cars because in my opinion, they are less expensive to maintain, and this Cadillac is much more roomy (especailly in head room) than many European and Japanese cars which cost a lot more.

  My 2005 Cadillac CTS is the best car that I have ever owned. Mind nad absolutely no defects. It has never been back to the dealer except for oil changes. It has an exceptional ride for a small car. It rides as well as or better than my wifes 2001 Cadillac DeVille. It is the closest thing to a sport car that Ill ever own. Im 65 years old.

  A little bit of everything - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Jeff K - March 25 - 11:37 am

  I test drove a BWM, Volvo, Jaguar and found that the Cadillac CTS was more comfortable, better performing, and more fun. The back seat needs a little more leg room, but otherwise I am perfectly happy with the car. It provides excellent comfort and styling with great performance.

  The 2005 Cadillac CTS is evrything I wanted in a cat: performance, comfort and reliability at a less price that is lower than its European competition.

  Excellent - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By myredcar - March 20 - 5:08 pm

  I havent had a chance to put many miles on it this weekend, but my new CTS is a dream! I spend a lot of time in my car, so the interior quality was a big priority - I am impressed. I was planning on another black car, but nearby dealers offered only white, silver, or red. I picked red and am thrilled with my choice!

  Good to go - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By andy matt - March 18 - 2:52 pm

  The 2005 Cadillac CTS is pleasing for the driver who has a long commute, but when out on the open road likes to have a comfortable ride with acceptable performance. It has lots of room in the trunk. Its front seats are comfortable and have enough adjustments. I dont know about back seats, I dont use them. Its steering is taut, brake feel is good and handling is better than the average mid size sedan. The engine response is peppy and the transmission is one of the smoothest Ive driven. The drive by wire response sometimes feels a little wierd but feeds in what you want most of the time. This is a great car, but there already has been a recall to reset the ECM apparently on all 2004 and many 2005 models.

  Once I decided to purchase a Cadillac CTS, it was a very easy task. I picked the color with the sport and luxury package. What more could I want, besides a CTS-V of course? Well, was I surprised, once the snow melted off the roads, this is just a great car to drive. What fun is is to see eyes looking at my Cadillac zoom by. There are a few things that I think Cadillac could improve on though. I like hand brakes, I cant even see the parking brake petal when driving. Also, I know that this is minor but couldnt GM find room to put the date somewhere on the navigation systems screen. Overall Im HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY with my CTS. I cant wait for 2007 model with all wheel drive.

  We love our CTS! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By RR Fait - March 16 - 10:00 am

  I purchased the CTS for my wife. She feels so safe driving it thanks to the frame structure design that resembles that used by her favorite Nascar driver, Scott Wimmer and the Cat car!! I have to admit that I feel secure also but my review would go deeper by saying I really like the handeling on curves and in tight places, its excellent. I would like to have the instruement panel a little more visible, especially when the steering wheel is in my most comfortable position. This is (overall) a very beautiful automobile to own and operate. Hats off to GM on this concept..

  Love it - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Chaz - March 8 - 8:17 pm

  I have the 2005 Cadillac CTS Luxury Sport model w/navigation, and 5-speed automatic transmission. I actually bought my car used, (not a demo) w/4,100 miles. It is a blast to drive. My first choice had been a Chrysler 300C, but I had a Cadillac STS prior, and this to me drove so much better. The doors close solidly, and the fit and finish suprised me. This car is much quieter (wind noise) than my STS was. I highly reccommend it.
