    Difficult to master the electronics. Navigation system absolutely requires the instruction manual and is still difficult. OnStar cellular telephone service doesnt make sense at $ 1.00 per minute and a separate telephone number. The OnStart 30 minute demo time had nothing that worked correctly. Rear visability is very poor. Automatic Speed control buttons at the bottom of the steering wheel are not convienent.

    Two major fabrication problems. It took the dealer 4 tries until fixed: (1) Air Leak in Sun Roof seal---eventually replaced the entire glass unit. (Why have a $2000 Bose Sound system if you cannot listen to it?); and (2) Firewall gap that let all the windshield rainwater into the drivers compartment resulting in 2" water inside the car. (Fixed on first try by the dealer).

  • Great Little Caddie - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Our 5th Cadillac... 3 Devilles and 1 Eldorado. This sporty little beauty is what Cadillac is all about, now and in the future. It is fun to drive and is definitely an "eye-catcher".

    My CTS is very enjoyable to drive. It is responsive, yet the suspension is not harsh. Plenty of power with the 5 speed manual. The car seems solidly built, with no rattles or wind noises. It is a comfortable ride although interior materials seem a little plain.

    This is my second Caddie, and by Far the better of the two, if you are thinking about getting one? Go For It! I had a Lexus, it was great too, but you get pretty much just as much for much less money. Not one single problem with it and I waited over six months to write this, so I would be sure No Problems! :-)

    My CTS developed a problem with the computer. Neither the dealer nor the factory could find the problem until the 13th try. They claim its fixed, but the problem put me and my family at risk. It is now parked. I will payoff the lease, as they did not offer to take it back. I dont have the time to get a lawyer to fight with them to terminate my lease. GM has lost another customer. I did get credit from my new dealer to pay them off.

    GM, you finally beat the Europeans at their own game. A fine vehicle that has it all. Keep it up.

    My wife and I bought this car to replace a comperable size Mercedes. There is simply no comparison, the CTS is more comfortable, provides greater performance, has great eye appeal and all without sending you to the poor house. We purchased the sport luxury package with a 5 speed manual transmission. My wife enjoys the luxury while I enjoy the sporty 5 speed.
