  • CTS is envy of crowd - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The CTS has bold lines, which turns some heads as you drive by. The after market spoiler adds another dimension to the vehicle. Car has enough power, but could use a few more ponies. The comfort of the interior is accentuated with the 8 speaker Bose system and navigation package. This car rides like a dream with stabilitrack. The minimum speed for freeway on ramps and clover leafs has just been bumped up a notch. I recomend this car to everyone. I look forward to the V-Series coming out.

    FRIST THIS CAR TURNS HEADS AND HAS FOLKS ASKING QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE THE COPPER-SUNBRUST (A COLOR I HEAR THEY HAVE DISCONTINUED-GREAT FOR ME MAKES MINE A "LIMITED EDITION"). SECOND I LOVE THE SOUND OF THE POWER WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP-ITS THE SOUND OF LIONS LET LOOSE! I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS THUS FAR EXCEPT FOR A BROKEN A/C DIRECTIONAL KNOB-THESE ARE MADE ON THE CHEAP SIDE FOR SUCH A FINE CAR. IF YOU WANT A SMOOTHER RIDE FORGET THE SPORTS PACK WITH THE 17" WHEELS. HOWEVER ON FLAT LAND THE SPORT PACK HANDLING IS AWESOME.THE CAR IS WONDERFUL,FAST,NIMPLE AND WONDERFUL TO LOOK AT. (DONT KNOW IF ITS JUST ME BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF BRAKE DUST)

  • Seriously kick-ass Caddy. - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    At 27, I am younger than the audience Cadillac perhaps envisioned for this car. Yet it is people my age that really dig the CTS. Short overhangs and a sharp aggressive stance make the CTS look like it means business. Its one part WRX, one part BMW and two parts 60’s Cadillac. The end result is simply bad-ass. It backs up the assertive looks with one of the best chassis’ in the world. Like a BMW, you have to drive it to understand just how well planted this car really is. The Getrag stick is excellent and the overall drive-train is well done. The interior fit and finish is solid, but the design is a little awkward. Overall though, it is a fantastic package.

    I purchased my CTS in February. I actually came out an Escalade 2002 for this vehicle. I love the design, the feel and most of all the brakes.

    I have had a Jag XJ6 in 92-94, Lexus ES300, BMW 5 Series and this CTS is by far the most fun and turns the most heads when driving. Great performance and FUN!

  • CTS ! What a fun car to drive!!! Wow ! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is definately not your grandpas Caddy! This is the most fun car Ive yet to own. I got all the goodies, but with the 5 speed. Great choice! Much better feeling of control than the Lexus 3-series, BMW 5-series, and Mercedes 2-series, all of which Ive had. This is the first Cadillac Ive owned, and I promise Ill be back for more. Very impressive, great design, nice sport/luxury feel. TURNS HEADS EVERYWHERE !! Only complaint is foot parking brake, instead of a hand brake. Too many moves to get brake on and in 1st or reverse to park. GM should fire the guy who designed that, but everybody else gets a 50% raise, and a company car...

  • So Far, So Good - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    In the 600 miles Ive driven it, I love the handling and the pick up. Fast car.

  • First time Caddy Buyer - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Just took delivery of a CTS. THis is my first time in a luxury Sedan. Ive always owned Coupes before this. The ride and finish is superb. The leather seating surfaces are well stiched and should be rugged enough to last a lifetime. This car will turn heads and people will ask to see the inside at gas stations.

  • Finally a Luxury Sports Car from Cadilla - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    It is a very nice car to drive with lots of power and comfort. I would suggest that you ask for tinted windows when you purchase it. I didnt think about it as I purchased the car when it was dark. The car handles the road beautifully and hugs the curves like a car should.
