  What a Nice Car This CTS Is - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Dewsweeper - November 14 - 10:00 am

  We have had our new CTS for two weeks. This CTS is the lux/sport package with sunroof, auto, heated seats (wont use this much in the "Big Easy"), HID, and white diamond paint. It really sticks to the road and is a hoot to drive, but the enthusiasts will want another 50 HP. The standard audio system is fine. Rear seat passengers have more leg room than you think, but headroom is slightly cramped for the six footer. The dealership was very price conscious and sold us the car for $300 over invoice found on the Edmunds site. On top of this, I was able to apply another $1000 off using my GM card earnings. Sweet.

  Have only had vehicle 2.5 months - look forward to driving everytime i get in. handles very well, plenty of "getty up and go" - with the automatic. features and Bose stereo is great! touring package also helps substantially.

  Beats the competition hands down. Style, performance (a few more horses would be nice), and value.

  The Best of The Best - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Noah Hill - July 6 - 3:17 pm

  I purchased this vehicle used. It was a very high mileage, but I got a steal. It has over 200k, runs like a dream. The CTS combines the luxury of a Benz with the handling and power of a BMW.

  Change is good - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By calicadi - July 4 - 10:00 am

  It was the exterior styling that snagged me. Read everything I could find on it for almost a year. Finally took a test drive and was sold. The size, balance and weight are properly handled by the engine, transmission and suspension. The interior is comfortable and functional, stylish without gimmickery. Fit and finish are excellent. Driving it is a real hoot. You can cruise around in regular auto mode or punch in the sport mode and get aggressive. It is hi-tech, so reading the owners manual is a must, but the payoff is getting the most out of the experience. After checking out the German and Japanese offerings, and the Lincoln LS, I chose Cadillac.

  03 CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By travel guy - June 16 - 10:00 am

  Gave up a leased BMW and had my mind made up to buy a G35 sedan until I went to the NY Auto show and saw the V series CTS which attracted me to the car. This caused me to test drive it in additon to the G35 and liked it much more because of its luxury. More comparable to a BMW 525 in terms of size, but a much better value.

  To think, I was looking for a p/u truck! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Angela - June 14 - 7:29 am

  Saw a used CTS in a dealers lot - I was actually looking for a pick-up truck. I took a test drive, just for fun. Dismissed it at first, because I never saw myself as a Cadillac owner. From looking over many other vehicles, I bought the Cadillac. Biggest misconception is people think its an 8- cyl., which GM needs to highlight. Fuel efficiency could be better, but it IS a sports car, nothing like the whip your grandpa drove. One minor repair in seven months, but I got a good deal and an ext. warranty in a bad economy. The dark red looks sharp and Im happy. Remember, the WAY someone drives can affect the reliability of a car. Be good to it and it will probably be good to you. :)
