  • If you dont own one....dont review! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    How can these yahoos spend 15 minutes in the car and make such crappy claims. I have owned BMWs, Caddys, a Vette and a Mercedes. Nothing holds a match to the fun I have in this car. It handles phenominally. It looks and feels great. The blow hards that speak poorly of this car have little to go on. I look for reasons to drive it, and I know I saved a ton of money over the bone heads that are hooked on te BMW. Caddilac is stellar in the way they take care of their clients. Much like a European dealership. Free rental, free service and attention unsurpassed.

    Finally a Cadillac for my generation. It doesnt have to make apologies or excuses. The car says, "I am a Cadillac, wanna make something of it?"

    Just got our CTS and its everything wed heard about. What an experience! The handling, ride and performance are better than Id hoped for. This car will definitely bring down the "average age of a Cadillac owner!"

  • A car that fits - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have been shopping for a new car for over a year now. yes that is anal but I need a car to fit like a glove in terms of performance and style. The car you drive says a lot about who you are. After I test drove a CTS I knew this is the vehicle for me. Flashy "new age" styling unavailable from anyone else, quick acceleration, tight handling, nice ride that combines comfort and performance. Some people have been complaining about the style of the interior but I totally disagree. It is well thought out and has a cool look to it. Why have another car on the market that has a flat center to its dash. Power is great for me with my 5 speed. I never feel like there is a lack of power.

    I love the car. It handles great; looks are awesome. There is no in- between with this car. People either love it or hate it. It definitely turns heads as you go by. My parents and grandparents drive Cadillacs, but this in no way is comparable to the boat ride of the DTS and STS. It gives the BMW and the Lexus a good run for the money. Its nice to see Detroit back in the game.

  • From Catera to CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Weve owned the two Catera models preceeding the CTS. These were good cars and real bargains. So we looked forward to leasing or buying the 03 CTS. Its been totally reliable, a pleasure to drive in city and on the highway. And what an eye-catcher! We have never had a car that has garnered so much favorable comment from young kids and oldsters alike. The price alone makes this vehicle a great bargain and well worth the attention of people interested in a mid-size luxury sedan.

    So far, the car is great. A nice blend of performance and luxury. Two words describe this car... "powerful" and "smooth"

  • If this is just the beginning.... - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The CTS is the first car heralding Cadillacs new direction. It is great looking, Ive got compliments from people young and. Its feels fast, and it is, although it could use a little more power. It corners with a lot of confidence for a large car. The comfort is alright, but the Volvo that it replaced seemed to be easier to get into, it is also not quite up to par with its stablemates (STS and DTS, which I have driven) which are very plush. The interior is much maligned for its plastic looks and I must agree, although the actual material is much nicer than regular interior plastic. It has a very nice feel that you must see and feel for yourself.

  • Oh my Doodness - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I am going to be 32 soon and this is the 2nd automobile I have ever owned. My first was a 90 Mazda pickup that I bought brand new. After almost 12 years I was ready for a change. And oh man, have I changed. This car does wonders for your self confidence and ego. I actually cant wait to wake up in the morning now to drive to work. I have trouble sleeping. Ive woken up at night and sat in the driveway to play with my personalization settings the other night. Today I left for work early and drove around some more after arriving. Luckily my company will be relocating soon. It should add another 10-15 minutes to my commute.
