  • Its not the caddy that zigs, it rocks.. - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have had this car for about a month, i have the 5 speed luxury sport with every feature on except the nav system. The other cars i was concidering were the Subaru WRX, Audi S4/A6 2.7T. I have driven all of the above cars and must say that Im very happy with my choice. While yes, the Subaru was faster it felt, well .. cheap. The audi, well getting an A6 with a 6 speed is a 3 month wait. I took one drive and I was like, this is my car. Its quick, its smooth, its cool looking and its very comfortable. It rides well, corners well above what should be expected and stabiltrack 2.0 does an awesome job of keeping you going in the right direction.

    Ive only had it for a 1,000 miles but it sure is a fun car to drive. Comfortable, hands free phone, bun warmers, and plenty of zip.

  • First Year Glitches - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love the way the car handles, though has a blind spot in the middle of the auto when pulling out. The CTS has handled great but am discovering some mechanical problems with it after owning it for a year. It is now in the shop for 5 days for water intrusion into the interior of the auto from the a/c system. The passenger side set frame is rusted from the water damage and the carpet needs to be replaced. This is not something I consider a minor glitch and hopefully is in isolated manufacturing problems with the a/c system. I would consider a 2004 CTS but would not recommend a 2003 CTS.

  • A Dream - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Ive had my CTS for 4 month and I love it more every week. The two tone interior is a great retro contrast with the techno exterior styling. It has been extremely reliable with no problems yet. It gets looks everywhere I go. The navigtion system has already saved my many unecessary miles. I had looked at Cadillacs before but never bit. As soon as I saw the CTS, I knew they had finally gotten my version. Summary - Its damn fun to drive.

  • CTS has Problems - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I purchased this car when they came out and was excited. I thought that cadillac had finnally made a break Through. I experienced nothing but problems. Air conditioner leaks flooded the car twice. All the carpet had to be replaced. Battery went out. Warning lights coming on for no reason. And the service from the dealership was horrible. I called the Customer Assistance center thinking that they would help. Not only no help but rude. Cadillac will never regain market share with poor quality and even poorer service. They just dont seem to care about the consumer once they have purchased a car. Beware of the CTS unless you want migrane headaches

  • ONE OF CADILLACS BEST EFFORTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This car does almost everything right. It definitely needs some more power. The power is adequate but not exciting. Cadillac has hit a good nerve with the younger buyer. I have experienced zero problems and the initial quality has been perfect. The volume wheel on the steering wheel is poorly positioned as I hit it when turning on occasions blasting the volume. The car is fun to drive and still gets a lot of stares. I recommend that anyone considering a foreign car in this price range at least drive the CTS and give it a chance. Overall I would recommend this car to anyone.
