  • Dont Purchase a Cadillac CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My 2005 Cadillac CTS looks great, but has a terrible ride. Going over a bump, the car shimmies and has bad tire bounce. The back seat is very uncomfortable due to the bouncing. I took it back to the dealer and was told that this is how the car rides, it has a sporty ride. Someone should have told us this before we purchased it. We cannot take it on long trips, it is too uncomfortable. Our Toyota Camry rides much better, for much less money. Also, Ive had to replace the passenger rear tire twice due to flats. People have gotten into the car and asked if it has shocks. I test drove the car before purchaseing it and it did not ride like the one we bought.

    Classy all around vehicle! Gets lots of looks and comments. Has ample accelration when needed. Many useful features including Onstar. We are a first time buyer in this style and will consider as a first choice when buying again. But happiness with this car is to extreme; and driving adventure is just plain estatic!

    I love this car. Had to order it, couldnt find the 6 speed anywhere. It took about 8 weeks to get, but was well worth it. I get compliments all the time.

  • Try getting in the passenger door - 2005 Cadillac CTS

    Its a good quality vehicle but,getting inside the front passenger door is VERY AWKWARD, with absolutly No Room for your upper head to go when entering passenger door

  • Great car - 2005 Cadillac CTS

    I love my 05 cadillac cts sedan! It performs great on the road. With excellent acceleration and handling it is easily the best car Ive owned. The quiet cabin is great! Hardly any road noise at all. It was a great buy as a used vehicle for me and my family. Perfectly reliable for over a year now too. No complaints.

    A blast to drive! Traded in a Porsche Boxster for my Cadillac CTS and have been enjoying this car just as much, if not more. Its engine is responsive and its steering is a dream. I test drove a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and a Lexus, but nothing has the look of a CTS. It is a very unique, muscular looking car.

  • Wonderful vehicle - 2005 Cadillac CTS

    I love this vehicle. The look is so beautiful also. I get so many compliments on my CTS.

  • Best Car Ive Owned - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Ive owned a 2000 VW New Bettle, and a 1997 Saturn SC2 since graduating college, and my 2005 Cadillac CTS is the best car that Ive ever owned, hands down. Its sharp and agile steering with a powerful engine makes this car a winner. I get lots of stares and appreciative comments on looks.

  • I like my CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have only had my Cadillac CTS for 22 days, but I already like the way it handles. It has a short turn radius, and I like the way it responds with the speed I need when I need it. It is a pleasure to drive - a great car.
