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.

michael777s - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By michael777 - March 4 - 4:16 pmI love my 2005 Cadillac CTS. I wish that I had purchased the STS, or Deville, though. The CTS is too small inside for what im used to. Having said that, I enjoy driving my CTS every day 60 miles each way to work. I never have any problems getting around traffic with my CTS.

A Cadillac for young people - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By AJ Viper - February 26 - 12:40 amMy Cadillac CTS V6 with navigation has an MSRP of around $44,000. loaded. Its ride is smooth, inviting, and responsive. The engine has a nice American roar to it when you accelerate through a yellow light. Its exterior leaves nothing behind except for the people staring at it, of course. Its interior with heated lumbar seats is accomidating, welcoming, and deserves your cruisin time. The Bose sound sytem is excellent. You cant drive this car without the music blaring. The navigation system helps if you stink with maps, or are just lazy like me!. I replaced the wheels and rims for 20". I guess automakers haventcaught up yet in the tire department. My new tires were an extra $5,000 out of my pocket. I have not had any problems with the vehicle yet and I hope this will continue.

2005 Cadillac CTS - Great Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By cts cadillac 2005 - February 25 - 1:01 amI love my Cadillac CTS. I had a BMW X5, but I like the CTS even better. My father had one and I always thoght Cadillacs were an old mans car untill I test drove the CTS and I really loved it. The look is great and it is very comfortable. Go test drive one yourself. Believe me you will buy it.

A real head-turner! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By BWV565 - February 17 - 6:31 pmI bought my 2004 Cadillac CTS 3.6L black beauty in March 2004. It is loaded with the sports luxury package, DVD navigation, etc. My only complaints are the lack of a locking gas cap and the DVD Navigation system is not 100% reliable in midtown Toronto. Otherwise the car is spectacular. I wouldnt give it up for the world.

Took me by surprise - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By ringsoft - December 19 - 7:13 amDrove lots of the top-of-the line imports, then after driving a top-of-the-line Saab spotted the CTS on the lot of the same dealer and asked to drive it. Cadillac was not on my list of cars to test so imagine my surprise when I was amazed by the performance. Continued on my new car quest with more import test drives, and after all was done ended up back at the Cadillac dealer and purchased the CTS. Not only did I get a fantastic car I got a fantastic deal ... with the current weakness of the dollar against foreign currency (esp. the Euro) I saved many thousands. The CTS is a true "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" car ... a luxury car that turns into a raw sports car at the whim of the driver.

Pros & Cons - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Bingo1 - October 2 - 12:06 pmI have owned a black Cadillac CTS for six months now. Overall, I like the car but would not buy it again. Pros: Great looks. It still turns heads, and is comparably rare. Ample power. Cons (Good grief!): Fit & finish. Maybe its just my car, but the seat bottom rocks from side to side, there is a rattle in the left front dash, the moonroof cover rattles, I am experiencing windnoise, etc. The dashboard is not sporty or luxurious. It is down right ugly compared to dash in the Acura TL. Bad mileage. Tight interior space. Load 4 average adults, and youll know. Loud engine. The steering is too light. Make sure to get the get sport suspension. If you want to drive a proud American car with unique looks and are willing to overlook build quality, this is the vehicle for you.

A great alternative... - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By berne1 - June 27 - 10:00 amThis is a great alternative to the usual suspects (3-Series, C-Class) with stand-out styling and performance to match. Cadillac really got this one right. The engine is flexible with lots of torque AND loves to rev. 5-spd auto is so smooth. This car has great turn in and response to input. Its roomy enough for two kids in car seats in back. I love the styling, although I know this is polarizing design. Ive gotten lots of "thumbs-up" and compliments in parking lots. Growing up with imports, I decided to take a look as Id heard great things about CTS. I could not be happier with my vehicle choice. RWD is back and Im lovin it!

Great Buy - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Mike Neoh - May 15 - 10:00 amJust got a 05 black on black CTS equipped w/ auto. trans, sport & luxury pkg, moonroof, a $2,000 V-look pkg( incl V-grille, rear spoiler, dual exhaust chrome & gold emblems ), $1,500 chrome wheels w/ cadillac logo that comes w/ 4 years warranty, int. walnut wood dressing and tinted windows all for less than $38,500 (includes freight, before tax & title ). After the $1,500 conquest rebates and the dealer discount, I figure I saved a good 5-6 grand off MSRP. The look itself is worth every pennies.
