Love my CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By Caddi Girl - May 14 - 10:00 amI absolutely love my CTS. Everyone checks me out while Im driving. Everyday when I open the garage door, Im impressed! Fun to drive and great to look at. I wish I would have gotten the luxery package, but mine is still sporty and luxurious for the price.

Performance, Comfort & Style, The CTS! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By J. Walsh - May 11 - 11:56 amI purchased a 2003 Cadillac CTS in July of 2005. This was my third Cadillac purchase in six years and without a doubt, the best and most satisfying one of all. This car has all the luxury options and a superior level of comfort of which Cadillac built their reputation on, plus the performance matching any of the European luxury sedans Ive driven. The acceleration and response are fantastic. I cant wait until they come out with an automatic transmission in the new CTS-V series. At 400 hps it must be a thrill to drive.

Fun and comfortable car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By Boomdog - March 30 - 9:12 pmThe Cadillac CTS is a fun car to drive, very comfortable as well. It handles very well. You can drive this car like a traditional Caddy, or turn it on and drive it like a sports car.

Why a CTS over a Euro or an Asian Car? - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By kaneb - March 13 - 2:00 amI test drove many cars, read consumer reports and pushed Internet fleet sales managers to madness for their lowest price for over a year. I took my time to find the car that fits my lifestyle (you dont need an SUV). My friends have BMW 3 Series, Mercedes 240 and Lexus IS/GS so I got a free test drive from them. I spun the Acura Sports and Nissan Altima as well as a few salesman around the block at local dealerships.

CTS Owner - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By mrj - February 13 - 10:00 amLoaded CTS Lux Sport (White Diamond) a) This car is fun to drive! The handling, acceleration, "road feel" is on par with the Germans. Its not super fast, but no slouch either. b)Great Looks - Both inside and out, this car looks unique. Im glad they didnt raid the GM parts bin to make it look like all other caddys. c) Comfort - I really like the ergonomics of this car. Its very comfortable in all driving conditions. d) Value. Unlike import dealers, Cadillac sales will accept reasonable offers (plus you can use GM points, get low rates, etc...)

Nothing but Trouble - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By cheryl - January 12 - 9:07 pmMy title says it all. I have had absolutely nothing but trouble with my CTS since purchasing it in 2005. The fuel system, the slave cylinder, the air compressor, just to name a few things that have gone out and left me stranded.

Lots of Looks - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By PTL - January 12 - 2:37 amI purchased this car used and have loved it ever since. Love the 5-speed smooth auto. transmission. The CTS can move and corners great. The Navigation / radio / CD system is easy to use. The glove box is the only thing that is poorly designed , it is rather useless except for housing your owners manual. The trunk space is large and easy to load and unload.

Great Bang for Buck - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By rpfromcp - December 14 - 2:14 pmI bought this car used with 40,000 miles on it. I have had it for a year and it has been a joy to own and drive. The suspension is firm but not punishing and it handles great. Its not super fast but it does move when you step on the gas. I have owned the car for more than a year and the only problem was an overactive stability control system. I drove to the dealership and they fixed immediately in less than 30 minutes. I do a lot of driving and so far it has been totally reliable. It even did pretty well in the snow. I have gotten a lot of compliments on this car. It looks and runs great and I would highly recommend it.

Two for the price of one - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By Tumblehome - November 24 - 2:00 amThe best kept secret in America is the price of the manual CTS in base form. There is more image here for the dollars. Add to this the fact that the car is fun, on rails, fast, cruises at 110 with ease, and garners looks wherever you go, and theres little on the downside. Compared to an Acura, Lexis, BMW, etc., I was able to buy my teenage daughter a Hyundai with the savings.

She Loves Me, and I Love Her - 2003 Cadillac CTS
By Craig Fort Worth,TX - September 6 - 2:00 amI am a 36 yr. old male. I have had my CTS for about 2 weeks now.I am a big guy, 65" @ 300lbs. I fit in her well. She drives wonderfully. She has the feel of the BMW 500. She corners on Rails. I was looking at a BMW and Volovo S80. For the money, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal. When I bought the car my wife was out of town in California with friends. When she returned she unlocked the car with her remote and the pre-sets, (radio, seats, mirrors, air) all went to her favorite settings. She drove it for 30 minutes and came back smiling. I guess I get to keep her and the car too!
