  • Loved my car since dy 1 - no problems - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Since day one, our CTS has been a blast. Plus, we have never received the compliments on other lux cars that we have on this.

  • Should have waited another year - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This car has been nothing but trouble. Its first defect was on the trip home from the dealer. The stabilty systems yaw sensor went right away. Next the sunroof, the A/C system leaked into the cabin and flooded the floors. The seat tracks rusted, the wires got wet, the oil cooler leaked coolant. 17 days total out of service so far and there are more problems, too many to list!

  • I Love My CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    The new CTS is one of the best GM products EVER! (XLR is the other). The car is so refined and comfortable. The new 3.2 liter V6 is so quiet that when i turn the car on, i cant even hear it. I looked at the BMW 330i and the Audi A4 3.0 CVT and they could not compare. If you do get the CTS get the sport Luxury Package, the only way to go.

  • Best Car Ever - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    I love my 2003 Cadillac CTS. I have had no problems with it. It is fun to drive and handles great. It is a little light on horse power, but it looks like they have corrected that in the newer models.

    What can you say... Cadillac is back. I give my 2003 Cadillac CTS five stars all around. It blows away the imports. I have never had any problems with this car. It is a blast to Drive. I can’t wait to get the V-Series. I can’t imagine anybody not loving this car or having any problems. It is simply the best.

  • Wheee! - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Flat cornering. Peppy acceleration. Oh, so comfortable and quiet. The manual trans shifts smoothly through the gears. Bought the CTS for the Cadillac comfort reputation. Found a great handling car underneath the comfort.

  • Are my problems yours too? - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Bought my Cadillac CTS in March 2004. I love the design but hate the dependability. I have been in the shop 4 different times with the same problem: the engine light goes on and there is no power (the car hesitates). The dealership has been wonderful but cant find a problem!!?? I am paying for a Cadillac, but driving a loaner more often (30 days +) I am thinking of looking at the Lemon Law quickly to get out of this mistake before we are out of warranty. I shouldnt have purchased a first year model I guess. But I must say the dealership has been wonderful.

    Once I drove it I had to buy it. The car is fun to drive and looks awesome I only wish it had a few more horsepower. Very comfortable interior and the CTS handles great.
