  • CTS ! What a fun car to drive!!! Wow ! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is definately not your grandpas Caddy! This is the most fun car Ive yet to own. I got all the goodies, but with the 5 speed. Great choice! Much better feeling of control than the Lexus 3-series, BMW 5-series, and Mercedes 2-series, all of which Ive had. This is the first Cadillac Ive owned, and I promise Ill be back for more. Very impressive, great design, nice sport/luxury feel. TURNS HEADS EVERYWHERE !! Only complaint is foot parking brake, instead of a hand brake. Too many moves to get brake on and in 1st or reverse to park. GM should fire the guy who designed that, but everybody else gets a 50% raise, and a company car...

    Just took delivery of a CTS. THis is my first time in a luxury Sedan. Ive always owned Coupes before this. The ride and finish is superb. The leather seating surfaces are well stiched and should be rugged enough to last a lifetime. This car will turn heads and people will ask to see the inside at gas stations.

    It is a very nice car to drive with lots of power and comfort. I would suggest that you ask for tinted windows when you purchase it. I didnt think about it as I purchased the car when it was dark. The car handles the road beautifully and hugs the curves like a car should.

  • If you dont own one....dont review! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    How can these yahoos spend 15 minutes in the car and make such crappy claims. I have owned BMWs, Caddys, a Vette and a Mercedes. Nothing holds a match to the fun I have in this car. It handles phenominally. It looks and feels great. The blow hards that speak poorly of this car have little to go on. I look for reasons to drive it, and I know I saved a ton of money over the bone heads that are hooked on te BMW. Caddilac is stellar in the way they take care of their clients. Much like a European dealership. Free rental, free service and attention unsurpassed.

    Finally a Cadillac for my generation. It doesnt have to make apologies or excuses. The car says, "I am a Cadillac, wanna make something of it?"

  • CTS Hits the Mark! - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Just got our CTS and its everything wed heard about. What an experience! The handling, ride and performance are better than Id hoped for. This car will definitely bring down the "average age of a Cadillac owner!"

  • A car that fits - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have been shopping for a new car for over a year now. yes that is anal but I need a car to fit like a glove in terms of performance and style. The car you drive says a lot about who you are. After I test drove a CTS I knew this is the vehicle for me. Flashy "new age" styling unavailable from anyone else, quick acceleration, tight handling, nice ride that combines comfort and performance. Some people have been complaining about the style of the interior but I totally disagree. It is well thought out and has a cool look to it. Why have another car on the market that has a flat center to its dash. Power is great for me with my 5 speed. I never feel like there is a lack of power.

  • CTS California Edition - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love the car. It handles great; looks are awesome. There is no in- between with this car. People either love it or hate it. It definitely turns heads as you go by. My parents and grandparents drive Cadillacs, but this in no way is comparable to the boat ride of the DTS and STS. It gives the BMW and the Lexus a good run for the money. Its nice to see Detroit back in the game.
