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.

Best in its class - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By CadillacMan - October 29 - 12:01 pmBefore I got my CTS this year I was driving a 2003 Cadillac Catera, which the CTS replaced. The Catera was a poor attempt to compete with the other luxury automakers who had made entry level automobiles. The CTS though is a vast improvement that not only looks better, but drives better, and comes with much more standard equipment and even better options. This has been one of the best cars that Cadillac has made so far. I would guess that the CTS is probably one of Cadillacs most successful vehicles since the STS, which also took the same form as the CTS when they were remaking the Sevilles. It is just a little larger but for the most part it is the same car. The CTS is also nicely priced.

Very pleased - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Mine! - October 28 - 2:51 pmThis is my first Cadillac - I was considering my first non-American purchase since buying a used Honda from a family member several years ago. My father has had several and purchased an STS in the past couple of months in black - which was the color I thought I wanted. When I put my feature list together, the dealer could DX the car in silver, white or red. I love the red! People make a point to tell me they like the car.

under rated - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By diver - October 9 - 1:43 pm2005 CTS with the perks will cost ya around 40000 but the car will exceed all the you have heard about. The 255 hp can push the car up to 130 mph not bad. Handling with the sport package is very good. The decor is not as refined as its german buds but the room you get inside the cab is great and more than makes up the difference. its my fist GM car in yrs

CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Bill - September 29 - 10:23 pmI bought this car based on the style and a friends enthusiastic endorsement. Its a good riding car, but the engine runs much rougher than my Hondas ever did. I am kind of disappointed with all the plastic in the interior and with the low gas mileage. The cigarette lighter hasnt worked since I drove it off the lot. But...everyone loves the styling.

Not a Real Standout. - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Ron - September 1 - 4:46 pmIve had mine for 5 months with 5,000 miles on it. I like the car generally, for the reasons I purchased it - stand out design, performance. However, I think its a pretty average GM car in most ways. It lacks the "luxury" amenities you would find in other cars of this price range. For example, you get the same generic key fob as a Chevy Astro with no standard alarm or window roll down feature. And no locking fuel door? Are you kidding me? And while the performance is good, its nothing to write home about. Assembly is not that good either. Rear bumper cover feels loose, and the passenger doors have to be slammed to be shut properly. While these arent critical issues, this car can improve.

Incredible Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Nick - August 13 - 10:49 pmI have had the car for six months and 15,000 kms with no problems. It is great to drive, the transmission is silky smooth, and it has great power in all ranges. GM has a winner here.
