Package contents have been shuffled, and "synthetic leather" will be added to the options list later this year.

  • I dont know what you guys are talking about. - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Bought my CTS 4.ago and I love it, had a oil leak which was repaired under warranty. It does use a little oil so I keep an eye on it, this is a sports car I dont think a lot of people understand that so you have to be vigilant on upkeep I love this car and would recommend it to anyone ...Again this car is not for the person that doesnt take care of their car all the blown engine problems I bet can be traced back to some kind of abuse.

  • Great Vehicle! - 2005 Cadillac CTS

    The CTS is a real sport sedan. Best of both worlds car. Comfort, style and quality. I have read the bad reviews and my response is find a new mechanic! 3 timing chains? Really!! The water pump in my CTS also failed at 34k miles. dropped off in the AM and picked it up after lunch. Each vehicle has its problematic issues and I think I can deal with a new water pump.. The dealerships that fix them are not the manufactures and they are not all the same..

  • Best Sedan on the Market - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This was a long process of comparing price ranges and ameneties, and Cadillac was the clear winner. I have the Sport & Luxury packages and for the money, could not be happier. If you like manual shifters, this is the smoothest in low to high speeds and gives punch when needed. Great car.

    Im a car buff who has raced cars and motorcycles, and have owned Mercedes, Jag, and Volvo. This CTS, with the Luxury Sport package, outclasses any European or Japanese car within range. The car is one more reason to buy American.

  • Want a new one! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is my first Cadillac since 1989 and I love this car. Paid dealer too much for it as a certified used car, need to repaint front bumper, but I love the way it runs and feels. Very, very sporty feel for a sedan.

  • Catillac CTS A Quality Car! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My 2 neighbors have the CTS. They are both very pleased with the performance. I purchased 1 month ago and driven the car another 2,000 miles! My car had 22,674 miles on it. The drive is smooth and quiet. I traded a Toyota Solara. I cant believe the ride difference. I also have a 2005 Acura TL. The Cadillacs ride, feel and quality so far are better than the Acura! The gas mileage is the same as the Acura at 23 to 25 mpg combined highway and city. The steering wheel controls are excellent. The car is tight and looks brand new! I have the Navigation with Bose system and XM. Wow it has fantastic sound. The two tone seats and wood trim, make the car stand out!

  • I Love My CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love my CTS! I have driven many other types of vehicles and makes (including BMW) and this is my favorite car yet! I have no complaints at this point I did have to replace my tires sooner than in previous vehicles (due to fun driving excursions). I live in the south so I have no problems with snow and/or ice. It does handle well in the rain. This is my first Cadillac and I am already planning to purchase a new CTS this coming year!

    This car is well made and fun to drive.It lives up to my expectations,good value for the money.The only minus point is the small glove compartment- nothing fits in there!

  • My 2004 CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    As evidenced by the miles on the car, I do not drive a lot. However, the car provides what I ask of it when needed. The ease and comfort of operation is exceptional.
