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.

  My 3.6L CTS Experience - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By breaga01 - July 3 - 12:20 pm

  Very quick responsive fun car to drive. All that fun is hard on the tires as I found out when I had to replace them at 25K. A great looking car unique to Cadillac, Its easy not to confuse it with other cars because of its styling.

  Good Bye Lincoln (For Now) - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By JJL - April 12 - 5:12 am

  I purchased my 2005 CTS V6 3.6L Hi Feature several months ago. I still cant stop looking at it. The design is very eye catching and has practical aerodynamic application. The interior is designed well. The control panel is easy to get to and manipulate. The bucket seats keep me comfortable during my long drives. The navigation system has saved me more than once. The handling is very stiff and sporty. I was surprised at the turn radius. After driving a Lincoln LS for several years, I would have to say that this is a slight step up.

  Nice Car, but Still Some Things to Improve - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By r41866 - February 14 - 2:55 pm

  The CTS has a small turning radius and good traction, even in rainy days. It also has very good braking performance. Its acceleration is not very impressive, but maybe it is due to the heavy weight. Its fuel efficiency is so so. Its ride is comfortable, except that the engine noise is quite loud. Its quality is OK, except for a problem with the automatic window.

  The 2005 Cadillac CTS has the power in its V6 engine to accelerate when needed. Its handling is very smooth and seems reliable. Its a joy to drive. It is extremely sporty for the price.

  Great Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By tom marino - April 5 - 10:02 am

  The 2005 Cadillac CTS rides great and looks great. It needs better tires though. The Goodyears that mine came with had to be replaced at 18,000 miles.

  CTS lives at the shop! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Zldjan - March 27 - 4:21 pm

  This car has been nothing but problems from the day I received it. It has had problems with its electrical system, transmission, clutch, alignment, differential, driveshaft, tires, interior trim, you name it. I have had to make multiple trips to the dealer to get the same problem fixed. Me and the rental guy at Enterprise car rental are now on a first name basis At this point I have gotten GM customer service involved and I am hoping they come through and do the right thing. This is my first GM and so far I’m not so impressed with the quality, but the car is sexy and it has helped me meet some wonderful people in the towing and car rental industries.

  My New 04 CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By xtranaut - December 22 - 7:06 pm

  Now, you might think me sick. I just traded my 2001 Jaguar XKR for a 2004 CTS. Object: get practical and stay sporty. First drive on the car - great, smooth, and agile on the freeway. Around town, it is noisy and a little clunky though. I have the sport suspension. This car is loaded except for navigation. The interior trim is really American cheesy. Why can these automakers spend a little more to make a little more? You cant play with the Germans and Japanese unless you at least MEET their specs. The dealer did a faux CTS-V package with mesh grille, spoiler, and 18 wheels (from STS) with new Michelins. Plus the color is a premium red. It looks like a hot streak. It is only what Chevy should have done with Impala.

  CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Bill - September 29 - 10:23 pm

  I 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.
