  • Just to cool - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I bought this car with every option.Love the handling with the luxury sport package and am very impressed with the nav system. The Car turns everbodys heads regardless of age, which can be uncomfortable while trying to maintain cool.After owning much higher horse power rides I am suprised that the quickness and speed of this car is not disappointing but will probably purchase the 2004 V series with the 400 hp V8 just because. The interior is hard and creaks alot from heat expantion and cooling but we always are using the excellent Bose sound system so who cares. After 30000 I have had no problems. This car is just to cool. I would recommend it to anyone.

  • The Best Car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I got this car for my 17th birthday. My parents both have their own Escalades but i have to admit that having a car is so much more fun and enjoyable. It has a better ride. The CTS has more than enough room and has a very good ride. It gets lots of looks and stares and many people are jelous of it. I am glad I got this Cadillac and i dont think I would trade it for anything.

  • Fun to Drive But.... - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Everyone comments on how much fun this car is to drive . I absolutely agree. Most of the time I feel as if the car is on rails. I have never felt a false momment in control of the road. BUT this car is hell on passengers. Washboard surfaces can shake teeth loose and no on has ever ridden in this car with me who has not complained that they feel car sick from all the jittering and bouncing they take from the ride. If you have a family, you had better take them with you to see if they can stomach to ride. I have resigned myself to lonely but throughly enjoyable driving experiences in the CTS.

  • Smooth Criminal - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    This is by far the smoothest, quietest car in the category I drove. In the running were the Mercedes 240, Audi A4 and BMW 3 series. This car far outshines them all. I picked up my CTS (ordered especially for me) on 5-1-02, and I have yet to be disappointed. Cadillac did their homework on this one.

    This car has dramatic styling and looks different from all the other McSedans on the road. It also has incredible handling and braking with decent performance for a V6 (although the engine could use more torque IMO). The paint and overall fit and finish seem to be of high quality. Its an all-around fun car to drive that never fails to put a smile on my face whether Im looking at it in the driveway or behind the wheel.

    THIS VEHICLE IS EXCELLENT. I LOVE IT AND I WOULD NOT CHOOSE ANY OTHER VEHICLE OVER IT. IT IS REASONABLY PRICED AND WORTH IT.
