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:

  • Not Your Daddys Caddy! - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The Cadillac CTS was built on the new sigma platform (using Japaneese style manufacturering). It has aggressive styling and lots of power. Its handling is superb - it feels like is is on rails around corners. Its seats and backseat leg room are great (better than in the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class and the Lexus IS250). Having driven all of those I have zero regrets about my purchase. My only negative is that the dash could have a little better design (especially if you have the base stereo and no navigation). Cadillac service is superb as well and they really take care of you.

  • Great American car - 2006 Cadillac CTS

    The Cadillac CTS drives and handles great. I have a lot of confidence in it. I have the performance package with a chrome tip exhaust, 18 inch wheels, and a spoiler in red. The car turns heads.

  • Different is good - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I test drove a Mercedes C230, Ford 500, Ford Fusion and Buick LaCrosse and the Cadillac CTS was head and heels above them. I could tell I was in a different breed of car when I left the lot.

  • My Car - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I couldnt ask for a better car for a 24 years old. This car is fun to drive, handles like a dream, and rides like its on air. Plus everywhere I go Its turning heads. The car has a sleek agressive look and the interior is flawless with everything easy to reach but still open enough for a real roomy feel. The 2.8 V6 is very impressive sometimes I forget that there is only 210 horses under the hood.

    The car is a pleasure to drive, it has lots of power. It has an excellent stereo system and XM is a nice addition which adds to the driving experience

  • Rocks My World - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have a CTS 3.6 Sport Appearance with the 18" wheels/Luxury Pkg/automatic. After having tested several models in this class and higher I think I have the most striking and best of the bunch. It is comfortable, has great pick up when I need it, and is great for longer trips. Its maneuverability is great, it turns on a dime. I enjoy all of the little toys inside.

  • An American Car Makes the Grade! - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    For years I have driven foreign luxury cars because American car companies did not build the car I wanted to drive. The CTS is finally an American car that has a place in my garage. The CTS is very comfortable, quiet, just the right size, has unique styling, and I am averaging 29 mpg on the highway. The construction of the car is very solid and the Cadilac Division of GM has done a remarkable job in following up to make sure I am 100% satisfied with the CTS.

  • GMs CTS hits a homerun - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I took delivery of this car a month ago and Im impressed. Stylish, modern, and powerful. My friends BMW 325 has nothing on my CTS. If you want an entry-level luxury sedan, but dont want to be stuck with an ES 330 or a bulky Avalon, and dont want to pay BMW or Mercedes prices, this is the way to go. This car will take you from hip in South Beach to classic at your corporate headquaters and wont lose its cool. Way to go GM.

  • The real deal - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Recently drove my CTS 3.6 from Monterey to Big Sur and back on the Pacific Coast Highway. I drove at the limit up and down the hills and hairpin curves never using the brakes - just the sport shift! It was as if the car was on rails! I own a Mercedes and have owned a VW and a BMW. It handles just as well these do - but is more comfortable. It glides in and out of traffic with terrifc acceleration and with smooth, effortless shifting. GM doesnt know how good a car they have. Interior could be a little sexier.

  • CTS Howls and Whines - 2006 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My CTS howls and whines at all speeds and RPMs. Cadillac states that this is 100% within its standards and is characteristic of the vehicle. This does not give me peace of mind that the car is operating safely.
