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.

Shop before you buy - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Rays cts - May 3 - 1:50 pmI leased a 05 CTS and have numerous problems with the dealer as well as the vehicle itself. Rear end differential replaced at 800 miles due to a howling noise at approx 45mph. Passenger reading lamp out as well as passenger temperature toggle not working. Its a shame as I love the looks of the vehicle but would suggest that buyers beware, I dont think the quality of this vehicle matches the price range. I am currently working with GM for resoultion to all the problems, it will be interesting to find the outcome.

Look hard before you buy - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Ray - April 12 - 6:53 pmJust picked up my cadillac CTS and already in the shop having rear differential replaced. Owned a BMW 5 series previously and kick myself for going back to a GM. The whining out of the rear end started with only 200 miles on the car, so much for QUALITY. I now know why people stick with premium imports.

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.
