  Love My CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Jazzmon - May 2 - 2:56 pm

  My overall impression is very good and consider it a great value for the money. It does handle like a dream. Brakes are excellent. Best car Ive ever driven in the rain, solid feel. High intensity headlights are great. Fuel economy 20 city, 28 highway is a pleasant suprise, especially at todays prices. I would like more horsepower but find the 220hp engine acceptible. Would seriously consider another when the time comes.

  great car annoying problems - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By bru - March 3 - 10:00 am

  I have the luxury sport model with NAV. Overall the car is fun to drive but has been in the shop many times for (3 times )a coolant leak which they cant seem to find, and just recently I was 200 miles away from home and the check engine light came on and the car wouldnt go over 55 mph. So I called onstar through the safe and sound deal in the car and they diagnosed it over the phone while I was driving. It turned out to be a fuel pump sensor failure. It wasnt recognizing the speed of the engine to supply the right amount of fuel to the engine. The onboard computer finally compensated the problem and I made it home.

  Reliability Less Than Expected - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Alan - February 15 - 6:47 pm

  As soon as I reached the end of the 4 year warranty, my CTS has been nothing but trouble. I have been to the repair shop so often, the customer service reps recognizes my voice and asks "What now?". Since the 1st of October the right engine gaskets failed at 48,000 miles. Then in November and December there were electrical problems with OnStar and the brake and tail lights. In January 07 it was the left side engine gaskets. Now in February the air bag service warning light is on. GM will go bankrupt fixing these cars with the longer warranty period. All I can say to prospective buyers is "BEWARE".

  Great Car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By LloydF - January 26 - 10:00 am

  This car was not even on my list, but after searching unsucessfully for a G35 with a manual tranny I gave it a look-and boy am I happy I did. IMHO the Infiniti has nothing on this car. The Infiniti has more horsepower, but it doesnt feel faster and it is MUCH louder. Also the Infiniti interior comes off cheap looking for a car in this class in comparison. Drive the Caddy and you instantly feel like youre driving an expensive car. I have owned a LOT of new cars and this one ranks above all save the Corvette. Like the Corvette the car is instantly recongnizable among the masses of 4 wheeled jelly beans on the road. I give the car a 9 out of 10.

  CTS Pleased - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Robert C - January 6 - 10:00 am

  Wifes buying decision based on the design. I wasnt too sure (I drive a 5 series BMW) but now I am really pleased with the purchase. Driving experience is just excellent and the design really grows on you. Best trip up the mountains that we ever had. Car runs flawlessly and seems to get stronger as we put more miles on it. We bought the NAV system and now I dont know if I would ever buy a car without one.

  CTS-A Keeper - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Rexorg - January 4 - 4:43 am

  Ive owned 26 vehicles, including three fine SHOs. This the best by far. Cadillac has hit a home run with the CTS. The only problem is it will take customers away from its other aging platforms. Problem areas are A pillar size which obstructs side vision and rear vision is limited by rear end height and rear seat headrests. The CTS handles like a dream and the brakes are topnotch.

  Safe Used Car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Steve - December 30 - 2:00 pm

  When looking for a used car for our daughter, we selected a used CTS. Our feeling that it is the best buy for the money. It provides more value than anything new in our budget. It gets 27 mpg on the road. The CTS has a very solid ride, great brakes, and it delivers outstanding performance in sport mode that rivals anything on the road today. We are tall and the higher roof line is important. The trunk is OK, but another couple inches in length here would be better.

  Sexy Beast - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By MGD - December 24 - 2:00 am

  I did a lot of research before I bought this car. I test drove several cars, I went to the car show and considered every car under 45,000. In the end the CTS was the car that really stood out from the rest. My wife told me that if I were going to buy a car in that range I should get one that looked like it was. I got one with every option except the navigation system. Its garnet red and its about as sexy as a car can be. I love driving it, looking at it, playing with all the toys and showing it off.
