CTS 08 Could Save GM! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Joseph Timlak - January 25 - 4:33 pmThey finally woke up after 20 years in Detroit! CTS 300HP 6 Cylinder is an outstanding engine. Good power throughout, with better than expected MPG at 22MPG combined on CTS computer system. Seats and ride are absolutely above BMW and Mercedes. For the money this is an unbelievable buy! This car is outstanding, Congratulations to GM Detroit, they still have some talent left in those hallways!

08 CTS - new standard for the world - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By 08 CTS - well done ! - November 23 - 9:30 amMy 2005 CTS was a step up from my two previous STS Caddies. Build quality was excellent and I experienced only minor repairs over 35,000 miles. It still is a real "looker". But my new loaded Crystal Red 08 CTS is about the most perfect car I have ever had. It blows away just about every BMW, Audi and Mercedes on the road today. It is stunningly beautiful, excellent fit and finish, with options galore and the handling is remarkable. The styling and performance improvements in the 08 are obvious, but it is the subtle nuances and thoughful engineering that make the car a standout for me. I cant tell a Lexus from a Camry until up close, but theres no mistaking this Caddy at any distance !

Finally we are able to Rate all 10s! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Bud Starione - May 7 - 2:20 pmDetroit wasted so many years giving up the market to overseas! Why? For the money paid out the door including tax, the 08 CTS has to be the best deal we have come across. Test driving the vehicle around the block, and it was a must own. Already have 3400 miles on the car, and we fight off our 19 year old son for the keys!

This is a Caddy? - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Floored - May 5 - 1:13 pmDriving a Caddy (or any GM) never even entered our minds. Wed driven Infiniti, Lexus, and had left. Really liked what wed driven so far. Stopped in to get the payoff on our Hummer trade-in. A black CTS in the showroom had (afater market) 20" chrome wheels and a feature set at least $6 - $10K better than Lexus and BMW. Just to be thorough, we drove it. Amazing ride. Stunning. Im still smiling. Everything everybody is saying. I just kept thinking, "This is a Caddy?" I couldnt beleive it. Only several days later, but Im still giddy. I love this car. Fast, smooth, quiet, responsive, corners on rails. There isnt enough room in this review space. Trust me: drive this car!

I love this car! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Karen - March 1 - 9:56 amIve only had the car for 2 weeks, but its been my dream car for years and I waited for the 2008s as I heard they were much improved. I love this car more than I ever imagined I would. Its quiet, comfortable, easy to drive and everyone stops to look at it. The sunset blue color is really something to look at.

Finally a true American sports sedan - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Todd K. - February 6 - 9:16 pmIve had my 08 CTS for about a month now, and the commercials are spot on - this car turns me on every time I fire it up. Its a real head turner, and Ive gotten more looks and thumbs ups than with any other car. Mine has the 6 speed w/ DI engine, and most every option available. I say most options because one that I really wanted - AWD, was not available with the stick. I test drove the G35X, BMW 335iX, Audi A4 Quattro and finally the CTS and it was love at first sight. The CTS is really that good, and a bit bigger than the others. I really wanted AWD and I might have a different opinion after the snow falls, but Im planning in investing in a decent set of snow tires. Well see..

Bmw 3? Audi a4? MB C280?? No thanks! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Dave - January 8 - 8:40 pmUnbelievable! Who needs the bmw 3, A4, or MB c class. This car looks amazing, it drives likes its got attitude. I have the 304 hp model with rear wheel dr. Fully loaded with the luxury package and navigation. The only thing this car is missing is blue tooth. there is zero road noise, you can only hear the engine at higher revs.

Just bought it! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By ED1320 - June 19 - 7:53 amTraded in my 04 GTO 6sp. 5.7 litre for my first Caddy ever. I was sold on the little Bimmer or maybe even a Lexus but happened by the Cadillac dealer on the way to buy one or the other. Fell in love with the CTS4, took it home yesterday. First trip was to Ann Arbor for dinner last night, beautiful ride!

New AWD CTS is a winner - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By Concord Caddy - May 18 - 4:00 pmMy 2004 CTS lease was up and I was contemplating a SRX for the reliability in the snow. I decided to drive the 2008 CTS-4 and was amazed at the improvements. Both interior and exterior this is a superior car to the 2004-07 versions. Even though I got the standard engine, it still has more muscle than what my 2004 had. I was really thinking SUV, but once I drove the CTS it was a no-brainer. I like everything about it, the cabin looks like a fighter jet cockpit, the controls are easy to navigate, and find. The body is rounder and has a more muscle car look to it versus the boxy earlier versions. Be careful! If you drive it, you may not be able to resist getting it.

Good after initial glitch w/ fuel gauge - 2008 Cadillac CTS
By CTS-dad - November 12 - 12:06 amThis car has not disappointed us. We have had it for one month now. The car is very quiet; we cannot understand how anyone could have any complaints about noise. One disappointment: our car needed service during the first week we had it (fuel gauge was inaccurate and we ran out of gas on first trip...showed 1/4 tank when it was actually empty. Static electricity must have fried a chip or something. This problem was fixed by dealer service in a few days).
