  • From Catera to CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Weve owned the two Catera models preceeding the CTS. These were good cars and real bargains. So we looked forward to leasing or buying the 03 CTS. Its been totally reliable, a pleasure to drive in city and on the highway. And what an eye-catcher! We have never had a car that has garnered so much favorable comment from young kids and oldsters alike. The price alone makes this vehicle a great bargain and well worth the attention of people interested in a mid-size luxury sedan.

    So far, the car is great. A nice blend of performance and luxury. Two words describe this car... "powerful" and "smooth"

  • If this is just the beginning.... - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The CTS is the first car heralding Cadillacs new direction. It is great looking, Ive got compliments from people young and. Its feels fast, and it is, although it could use a little more power. It corners with a lot of confidence for a large car. The comfort is alright, but the Volvo that it replaced seemed to be easier to get into, it is also not quite up to par with its stablemates (STS and DTS, which I have driven) which are very plush. The interior is much maligned for its plastic looks and I must agree, although the actual material is much nicer than regular interior plastic. It has a very nice feel that you must see and feel for yourself.

  • Oh my Doodness - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I am going to be 32 soon and this is the 2nd automobile I have ever owned. My first was a 90 Mazda pickup that I bought brand new. After almost 12 years I was ready for a change. And oh man, have I changed. This car does wonders for your self confidence and ego. I actually cant wait to wake up in the morning now to drive to work. I have trouble sleeping. Ive woken up at night and sat in the driveway to play with my personalization settings the other night. Today I left for work early and drove around some more after arriving. Luckily my company will be relocating soon. It should add another 10-15 minutes to my commute.

    Outstanding. Just simply outstanding. Best car I have ever had and the way people stare it must be better than anything they have ever had too.

  • Its not great unless its a V8!! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The V6 falls terribly short of what a car that "Zigs" should be. Only a V8 will make this car Zig! Had to have the rear end replaced (less than 10,000 miles). Have had the tires replaced twice as the steering wheel shakes and quivers. Continual engine knock! Dealer has no answer. Poor engineering with the head lights. The black bar affect is dangerous on roads that are poorly lit.

    Fantastic handling, performance, and styling. A new gem from Cadillac which bodes well for the future.

  • CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Ive never had an "entry level luxury car" before, so I can only compare my CTS to a Grand Prix or lower type vehicle. I have the feeling that the CTS is strapped to me, instead of me just being an occupant of the vehicle. That indicates how much I like the driving quality. I got the Copper Sunburst color (which Caddy is discontinuing), and I get LOTS of comments and turned heads.
