Overview & Reviews

The optional satellite radio (when ordered with the navigation system) now features traffic updates, and the wheel centers now feature the Cadillac wreath and crest in full color.

• Capable handling, strong performance from 3.6-liter V6, roomier cabin than like-priced rivals, plenty of available features.

• Interior materials and design lag behind class leaders, not as nimble as its smaller competitors.

  5 Years Later - WARTS come out - 2007 Cadillac CTS
  By Julius - June 21 - 6:49 am

  Like a bad case of herpes - that night with that attractive someone later came back to haunt. Purchased a low miles (35K) 2007 3.6L sedan based partially on my local mechanic stating that the 3.6L engine was bullet proof. I purchased from a Cadillac dealer (Val Ward in Ft Meyers FL) in 2012. It was an attractive car that rode extremely well with decent acceleration and very good handling and braking. Checked all the blocks by checking reviews, car fax, prepurchase check with independent mechanic. Within months I started having problems. First the ABS started going off (intermittently), making braking horrendous and dangerous. Then noticed the engine started eating oil. There was no (blue) smoke from the exhaust, but my mechanic suspected the emissions system (CAT, etc) was absorbing the oil leaking out prior to the bypass. [Note - I should have cut my losses and sold this thing at that point, but the wife loved the car & the Mech thought it wouldnt get any worse.] Later the check engine light came on. Code said it was a Cam sensor - which was replaced (not cheap). The light later came back. Heres where it gets bad -- in year 5 of ownership at 100,000 miles the engine essentially went. (All kinds of noises that was most likely timing chains / guides and perhaps other bad items from the crank case. Keep in mind this car was driven easy by a female and I believe the first owner was elderly.) Replacement REMAN engine is over $5K installed and rebuilding the existing engine with duel Cams is about the same. Trade in value without major problems is currently extremely low around $3,000 thanks to Cadillac flooding the market with these vehicles. My Mech (who sold his SRX with the same engine) said that Cadillac knew about these engine problems and has done nothing about it other than quietly fixing the problem in a later model year. He also believed fairly early that Val Ward knew there was a problem with this vehicle before selling it. Careful sleeping with this pretty babe.

  Huge Disappointment! - 2007 Cadillac CTS
  By Nicole Van Meter - August 17 - 11:28 am

  My mother-in-law purchased this car used (1-2 years old 8k miles). She is a senior citizen and wanted a reliable car for her remaining years. She had several Cadillacs in the past and always liked them. From the beginning it seems like this car was always in the shop with electrical and emissions issues costing my mother-in-law a lot of money (fixed income). She has maintained this car perfectly and always brings it to the Cadillac dealership for all work including oil changes. She has just turned over 80,000 miles and after hearing a "knock" brought the car in yet again and was told (by 2 mechanics) the low end of the motor is ready to blow! The dealership wants $6,600 to replace the motor. Wow.... really? It doesnt even have 100k on it.... What a hunk of junk! I personally will never purchase a Cadillac after her experience. If 0 stars was an option, thats what Id give!
