  • 2003 CTS Tire Noise - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Ive had problems with abnormal tire wear and very annoying tire noise. The dealership says theres not a problem. I replaced the original Goodyear tires with new Goodyears because the dealeship said tire noise & abnormal tire wear was due to my not rotating tires every 6,000 miles. The new tires have less than 6,000 miles on them and are already noisy. I think theres an alignment problem that GM needs to address.

  • They really took me - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    My CTS is a joke. I expected much more from a Cadillac. 3 days after taking delivery the sunroff decided not to work. Then I found there was no power to the accessory plugs. Then a piece of body molding came loose. then the dome light cover fell off every time I opened the roof at freeway speeds, Then the clock decided to lose time, the presets would decide to change when they wanted-which isnt much fun at 70 mph. Now, every once in awhile the engine doesnt want to idle worth a damn when warming up. I really wish Ild have pruchased the Infinity. General motors really let the qua;ity control slip on this one.

  • My Lemon CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I loved my car at first but between 2000 and 6000 miles it has been in the shop 6 times, the last three for a coolant leak. Cadillac has refused to replace my car insisting that they can repair the cracked head. I have retained a lemon law attorney who assures me I have a very strong case. Bob Lutz seemed to be making a difference with GM and especially Cadillac, unfortunately their quality problems appear to me to be reminisent of the 80s. I am so disapointed. I just turned 40,and I bought my first cadillac. Next time I will go with the BMW or Lexus.

    This vehicle was the largest of the entry-level sports sedans that were available, and Im glad that I got this over smaller competitors (G35, Audi A4, etc.). The ride is excellent. I had a few reliability problems, but the dealer took care of them.

  • BMW 330 DESTROYER!!! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I can say you can not get a better deal for the money. It is a sports car and a luxury car at the same time and nicely balanced. I drove a 330 and C320 and CTS is way better. It offers a spacious interior alot of luxury features and has handling of a Corvette.This is the best Cadillac ever.THIS IS A TRUE LUXURY PERFORMANCE CAR. IF YOU BUY IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

    Firm ride and handles well. Seats should be more comfortable and dash dissapointing should show more information without pushing bottons. Changing drive style button does not feel much difference. Storage space limited inside cabin.

  • Las Vegas Loves IT - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I purchased my first Cadillac when I was 17 years old. It was a Sedan de Ville and got about 8 miles to the gallon. It was the biggest car at our high school and after a bit on ribbing people got used to a kid in the 70"s driving such a car. Well I got hooked and have had 7 since then. I have had Sevilles, STS, SLS, Fleetwood, and now thw CTS.. Great Car

  • Problems - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    My 2003 Cadillac CTS has had power window problems that cost $700, it needed new struts that cost $400, and it needed a new battery that cost over $100 and was hard to find. It is in the shop now getting a new A/C compressor, which probably will cost another $1,000.
