  • Lots of Miles, Lots of Fun - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I am surprised to read so many reviews with people having problems with their CTS. I have put over 100k miles since purchasing mine used almost 4 years ago. It now has 155,000+ miles on it and I am just now having to replace the fuel pump. Other than that, no significant problems. My 03 still looks great and gets plenty of compliments.

  • Lovin my CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    When I was a kid Cadillacs were cool. By the time I was in college, they were living rooms on wheels. Now, Caddy is making a car that kicks butt, turns heads and competes with luxury imports. Im an American. I want power, performance and bold styling. And I want to buy it from an American company, especially at a time when world opinion is decidedly anti US. The kids at the car wash tell me they love my CTS. People stop in parking lots to look it over, and slow down in traffic to get a better view. Break Through indeed.

  • great change of direction for Cadillac - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Even better to drive than to look at - very comfortable but like a BMW to drive. Only two grumbles: quite a big blind spot caused by rear pillars and the glove box is ridiculously small.

  • All around great car! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    We bought this vehicle used, and were very leery at first (not knowing the history). This car has been nothing but dependable and fun! Great gas mileage, too! Plus, by purchasing used, we have a lower monthly car payment, lower car insurance, and lower personal property taxes. The 2003 model still looks like the later models. Plus, it is American made! This car is a win-win situation for us! We would highly recommend this car (2003 CTS) to anyone.

  • Fun to drive - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    This is a fun car to drive. Cadillac is trying to appeal to a younger consumer and it should work with this car. The engine has more get up and go then I expected but it still has the Cadillac ride. The exterior styling turns heads. I love the sunroof and in dash CD changer. This is a great American car.

  • Great Driving Car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is my first new cadillac purchased. I debated to whether purchase the DeVille or the CTS. The CTS had my eye though. After a test drive, I was convinced. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. A luxury car with a true sports feel.

  • bmw beware - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    a much better combination of performance/comfort than bmw can offer. (Ive driven the entire bmw line, this car matches great against 5s and 3s and I currently own an X-5) The bose sound system and electronics pkg is far superior to that of my bmw. Climate control is also far superior to my BMW. Perfect size...BMW 3 series are just too cramped inside. This car gives nothing away in handling to any bmw sedan except for the M3. Styling is exceptional...get great comments from onlookers everyday. BMWs sedans look like hondas at 50 yards.

    Excellent match for someone who wants crisp handling but also wants comfort and convenience for 4 adults. Works well as a daily commuter. Fun to drive. Has a solid feel on the road. It has been a nice step up and good value.

  • Too bad for BMW and MB - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    32 year old, happy with the CTS. Wanted the BMW 5 series, or a Benz, but neither were budging. The interior of the CTS is similar if not better then the BMW, for less money! Ride and handling is fantastic, both sporty and luxury.We get looks everywhere we go. I love the fact there is no chrome, or cheap pieces to fade on the exterior. I cant wait to tint the windows. Highly recommend the vehicle, even though, I love the fact that there arent too many out there, like the BMW, which you see at least ten a day! And if you dont mind the driving a Cadi Sopranos(were in NJ) jokes, you wont be dissappointed.
