  1st. Caddy for me...maybe more? - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By tdh5130 - July 26 - 10:00 am

  I ordered my CTS in Dec. 2002 and took delivery in Jan. 2003. This is my first Cadillac and probably wont be my last. The CTS is a fun car to drive and will definetly turn heads on the street. I ordered my CTS with just about every option. The upgraded Bose stereo / DVD Navigation is awesome. I would strongly suggest the Sport Package for those who enjoying driving their vechicle.

  The 2003 CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By jooh kool - July 13 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this for my wife & I have been trying to get it from her ever since. The leg room for passengers is very tight and for a luxury car there is to much noise. (wind & engine) I have made two long rode trips an enjoyed each one, handles very well,love the navigation system. Most of all,the "LOOK" of the CTS is outstanding.

  Cadillac Met Its Goal - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Mike H. - July 12 - 10:00 am

  Beautiful automobile. Doesnt compare to any prior cadillac Ive owned. Handling and power are excellent. Luxury sport option is worth it. A very enjoyable automobile to drive. Has attracted more attention than any automobile Ive ever owned. Looks better than Mercedes and BMW.

  03 CTS vs. 02 530 - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By newcaddycts - July 6 - 10:00 am

  I compared 6 cars in & around the same price range. The 2 that stood out were the 530 and the CTS. Both are close in size, options & performance. Both share some of the same parts (transmission & seats) & good build quality. The largest difference between the 2 cars, besides styling, is the price. The BMW is $11,000 more than the CTS with comparable options, & in my opinion almost identical in handling. This makes the price difference too hard to overcome for BMW. If the CTS is not one of top "editors choices" for 2003 then the fix is in. Read both reviews & drive both. You might find the short comings listed for the CTS a bit petty afterwards.

  Excellent car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By thomasrayw - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my 2003 White Diamond CTS Luxury Sport w/ NAV for one year and love it. Power is great at 225hp, but the 2004 has 30hp more. If you need more that that, go for the CTS-V w/ 400hp (Vette LS6 V8). Drove one for 24 hrs last week and its a rocket! Great styling and comfort. Theres no other car in its class that can match it.

  Happy with CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By ry1nik - July 1 - 2:00 am

  Ive had it for two years now and cant complain at all. Got the Copper Sunburst color, which gets LOTS of comments. No significant glitches with it after 30,000 miles.

  Worse car Ive ever owned! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Trip Gore - June 28 - 2:00 am

  I was one of the first to lease a CTS in Kansas City, MO. Love the look, but have endured poor quality problems. Paint peeled on grill at 10k. Cadillac would not fix under warranty. (Dealer replaced as "goodwill") A/C condensation flooded interior at 20k. Trim pieces have fallen off in trunk and interior. Front rubber air dam fell off as well as small rubber flaps by rear wheels.Power lock failed at 60k ($400 out-of-warranty repair). Idles poorly when cold (hook shakes).Only good things are comfortable seats and good highway mileage. Poorly placed cruise control buttons on bottom of steering wheel and where is the glove box light????

  Problems with reliability, fun to drive - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By carman - June 16 - 2:00 am

  I was very excited to own this car, and loved it the first few months I had it. But then things started going wrong. It cuts off in the middle of traffic, and they cant seem to tell me why when I take it to the dealership. It also warned me that there was no oil in the engine during a horrible rain storm, forcing me to call a tow truck, but it turned out it was just a faulty monitor in the engine. There have been other problems with the electrical system. The car has been "buggy," taking some of the fun out of owning it.
