This Year's Model Updates:

The Cadillac CTS receives only minor trim and package revisions for 2006. Most significantly, there's a new 18-inch performance tire-and-wheel package available for 3.6-liter V6-equipped cars. Like the 17-inch wheel package it includes HID headlights, a sport-tuned suspension, and stability control, but also has a tire-pressure monitoring system and stronger brakes. Other changes include a new XM Nav Traffic feature and enhanced driver control for the automatic transmission.

Pros:
  • Excellent handling, spacious cabin, wide array of available features, alternative look.
Cons:

    Excessive road noise,engine noise(sounds like a truck). It drowns out any conversation. Otherwise a fine car.The lease expires soon. It will be a Lexus this time.

  • awsome car - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    recently i bought a 2006 CTS 2.8L im a mechanic for GM and i love this car!!. and 2.8L does compete with the 3.6L, there is hardly any chance of feeling the 60hp difference other than racing purposes. which buy the CTS-v not the 3.6L or 2.8L. they are poor in the snow if not treated properly (drive for the conditions) I have a corvette as well and people who compare 3.6L and 2.8L engine clearly dont know what a real sports car feels like. or are that ignorant, to do these type of comparisons. thank you to all the people who took the car for what it is made for and not blow it out of proportion, remember it is a four door sedan with a V6 either of them 3.6L or 2.8L. all an all beautiful car

  • First and Last Cadillac - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I bought my first new Cadillac in 2006 and was pretty excited. But, now after 60,000 miles Ive had coils replaced, wheel bearings, tie rods, rear seals, and now told oil usage of a quart per 2000 miles is acceptable. If luxury cars by GM are produced to this quality level, I can see why they need bailing out!

  • Incredible Car! - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The Cadillac CTS is very comfortable, has power when you need it and has an overall sexy appearance. I have been quickly sold on Cadillac since purchasing this vehicle. I bought my Cadillac CTS with 32,000 miles on it. It was a leased vehicle and I purchased it as a certified pre- owned. The heated leather seats, wood trimmed steering/console and plush pile carpeting add a luxurious coponent to the superb handling. My only complaint is the plastic grill on the front but I believe they have addressed this in the 2008 and 2009 models. As they say on the commercial...."when you turn your car on does it return the favor?"...the answer is a resounding YES! I LOVE THIS CAR!

  • Best car I ever owned - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I bought my Caddy with 22000 miles on it. I live in the Chicagoland area and it is great in the snow. I have about 30000 miles on it now and Ive had to replace the brakes and thats it. The dealership is the best Ive ever been to as well. I will never own anything but a Cadillac for a daily driver ever again. The one small issue I have is the leather seats could be of a better quality leather but I think they addressed this already. GREAT CAR!!!!

    I try not to get caught up with material things but this car makes me feel better.

  • So fun to drive, it should be illegal! - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    With sport handling package it corners like its on rails. Handling, braking, acceleration, nimble turning radius, easy to park, great gas mileage. This car really is a blast to drive. Im hooked! Very tight, no rattles, great reliability. Yes, it does turn heads! Im happy to buy American. I love it even more than I expected I would. Recommend a CTS with no reservations.

  • cadillac has pride - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I purchased this auto with 45,000 miles. It was a rental with me being the first owner. I can tell you that I feel like this auto came just out of the showroom. I have owned 7 cadillacs and being almost 60 years old. I am impressed with my cts.

  • Not what I expected from Cadillac - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My first and last Cadillac. Love the car but have had problems with it since it hit 10K miles (rear end 3 times, computer once, electrical and now fuel pump problems) Last experience it left me stranded (fuel sensor). Dealer didn’t do something right and had a major fuel leak after picking it up. Cadillac will not stand behind the car and I can’t even find the next higher person to talk to (Regional manager will not talk directly. Have to go through customer service and they will not give any information). Very disappointed and will never buy another one. And they wonder why the imports have taken over the market.

  • Rattle Trap - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love the look of this car and driving it is great. The car really has lots of get up and go when you need it. However, now that its a few years old (30K miles), everything is starting to rattle on it. I wanted to buy a newer model, but now I dont think I would buy another one. They cost too much to be such rattle traps, especially so soon.
