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.

  Not a Real Standout. - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Ron - September 1 - 4:46 pm

  Ive 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.

  My New Car Experience - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Ken - August 13 - 7:30 pm

  I have not gotten the performance or gas milage that I understood that I would get. I dont know what is wrong with my car but it is not the same car that is discribed in these reviews. It just does not measure up to other cars that I have owned.

  Great Design Sub-Standard Paint Job - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By JERRY - July 3 - 4:47 pm

  I love this car. It has a unique design and distinctive performance. It is super! Now for the cynical part of me: My unit has the "Diamond White" optional exterior paint, which cost $995 retail $860 GM Employee price. As you know, the factory robotic spray paint booth does its job flawlessly. From 10 feet away, the car is very nice and pretty. From 2 feet away, the exterior white paint is rippled (like waves on a lake) and the final clear coat paint is noticeably dimpled. Not a world-class effort, IMO. I did not appreciate paying extra for a sub-standard simple white application. A much smoother paint job could have been programmed into the robots.

  Had my 05 CTS for 3 months now Great! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By zman - May 29 - 11:58 am

  I bought my 05 CTS about 3 months ago. I certainly was impressed with the performance when I test drove it, but now that Im living with the car on a day to day level, it had exceeded my expectations. Its not only a good daily driver, but is a great weekender sports sedan for those winding, mountain roads.

  the not over saturated lux. sport sedan - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By tara - May 24 - 1:58 am

  I love this car, first off I stand out from all the other cars in its class because there is just not as many of them out there. The car really turns heads. The performance is all there along with a great feel and smooth ride (without the boat like feel of the Cadillac of the past).

  Good to go - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By andy matt - March 18 - 2:52 pm

  The 2005 Cadillac CTS is pleasing for the driver who has a long commute, but when out on the open road likes to have a comfortable ride with acceptable performance. It has lots of room in the trunk. Its front seats are comfortable and have enough adjustments. I dont know about back seats, I dont use them. Its steering is taut, brake feel is good and handling is better than the average mid size sedan. The engine response is peppy and the transmission is one of the smoothest Ive driven. The drive by wire response sometimes feels a little wierd but feeds in what you want most of the time. This is a great car, but there already has been a recall to reset the ECM apparently on all 2004 and many 2005 models.

  michael777s - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By michael777 - March 4 - 4:16 pm

  I 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.

  2005 Cadillac CTS - Great Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By cts cadillac 2005 - February 25 - 1:01 am

  I 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.
