  • Cadillac did a great job with this one! - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    I just boought the CTS and man it is a show stopper as far as looks go. The performance of it keeps up with the BMW 3 series that I also drove. It has the looks and feel of a more expensve car for a great price!

    Had my CTS a week now after careful study of everything even close to its class, including Beemers, Acura, Lincoln LS, etc. Nothing compared to the unique look, yet still delivered great performance. Doesnt have as much juice as some of the others, but overall a great ride.

    This vehicle tho small, has a big performance. It is FAST. It handles the corners very well. In comparison to the Benz Kromer the Cady beats it hands down. The performance is awsume. Its not a very roomy Car. But it is very sporty and handles like a VET. I use to have an Escalade, and this car out performs it. So giving up the room the Escalade had, I traded in for Power and Speed. Believe me it is an EYE CATCHER.... Heads turn.

  • Not the Caddy Im used to driving. - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Ive had Cadillacs for many years and this car does not exude the comfort of previous models. I guess thats my main disappointment. Also, I have a rattle (normal for American built cars) in my dashboard that drives me crazy.

  • surprise - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    This car was chosen to replace a previous lease; when we went for the test ride, it took only a short spin to realize that this was a different Cadillac. It not only looks great, but it drives like a sports car, handles really well, and gives good mileage in the bargain. It has most of the luxury features that I look for, and I have had only one problem with it; the plastic cover on the head lining that holds the controls for the courtesy lights and the sun roof is faulty; and it is continuing to be a problem; otherwise, a great car!

  • All Bark, Dont get BITTEN - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is a feeble attempt by GM to build a car to compete with European autos. They fail in every category. The car is all sizzle and no meat! The over-all quality is typical of all domestic cars. It is filled with plastic and poorly fitted components that rattle, squeak and creek after the first month. It is surely one of the worst cars I have ever owned. GM has has no interest in correcting the problems I have had with my CTS. I made an impulse purchase, boy am I sorry!!! I never thought I would say give my Catera back!

  • Cadillacs first true sports sedan - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Cadillac did their homework and nailed the essential qualities required to compete in this class, then went the extra mile and strode into uncharted territory of bold yet elegant styling. In keeping with the sport sedan credo, I opted for a 5 speed stick and lux sport. The car drives beautifully and handles like its crazy glued to the road. Youll feel each undulation of pavement, but thats the way it should be. If you want to float down the road, try a DeVille. The ride is not harsh, and is very quiet. Engine is smooth, quiet and responsive. I feel the interior evokes just the right blend of luxury, ultra modern styling, and purposefull utility.

    Ive only owned foreign cars before this one, and Im very pleased. So pleased, that I believe Im converted and will stay with the Cadillac line. I added more wood trim to the interior which greatly enhanced the look of class.
