  Love my CTS Direct Injection in Hot Lava - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Joe N - December 30 - 4:27 pm

  Looked at BWM 3 and 5, Audi A5, Infiniti G37, Lexus IS350. All nice cars, but the CTS is better. Traded in 3-series for CTS. Although exterior looks are subjective, this is one of most compelling-looking cars in the modern era. Interior is fabulous, as well. Nav system and hard drive are well-designed and easy to use. The pop up function for the nav is a great touch, as is the ability to display the radio info without popping up the nav. Ergonomics are excellent. I find myself looking forward to long trips - it just eats the miles. Glad to finally be able to buy an American car again without compromise. This car reflects serious attention to detail, baked in from lessons learned.

  Nice car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By satisfied - November 20 - 3:46 pm

  I am very happy with my CTS-AWD. Since I live in the country in upstate NY I have owned awd vehicles for many years. I have yet to test this car in snow, although the fact that I can spin the tires on dry pavement does not give me confidence going into winter. I previously owned awd Acuras and BMWs which were excellent in snow. Most of the consumer reviews Ive read are positive in regard to performance. My view is that overall performance is defininately adequatebut I find that unless I stomp on it, I feel like Im driving a big four cylinder sedan. When floored the car takes off but not without a lot of noise. The Acura RL I had most recently had a more refined feel.

  Cream of the crop - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By ATG - November 17 - 7:15 am

  Wonderful driving experience. I particularly enjoy the acceleration and responsiveness of the direct injection. Transmission is flawless. Suspension is smooth and handles sharp turns remarkably well. Michelin 235/18" wheels hug the road and literally the car feels like it can drive itself. Interior materials and finish are superior to other vehicles in similar price range exterior is bold and aggressive-looking. Reliability has been very good with 11,000 miles. 24mpg on the highway regular gasoline. Im very pleased with my selection.

  High accolades - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Alan - November 16 - 8:48 pm

  Former 05 Lexus owner and Im very, very pleased with the CTS. Researched the CTS and decided to test-drive after reading favorable reviews. The ride is sporty and comfortable, suspension is very responsive, transmission is smooth and accelleration is exhilirating from the DI. Fit and finish on par with my prior Lexus. A real head-turner among adults and kids alike.

  2008 CTS DI - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Jim G - October 26 - 10:46 pm

  Great vehicle to drive. A bit heavy but it feels good once it gets rolling... AWD takes a bit of performance away. I swear my 2007 (non-DI is quicker and faster) But a truly great car. Love the entire redesign.

  Stick shift Caddy - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Stan Thompson - October 24 - 12:31 am

  The car is very responsive, solidly crafted, and in black with chrome rims is gorgeous. The stick shift has loosened up nicely after the first forty-five days. Seating is very comfortable and two hour drives produce zero stiffness.

  A truly excellent car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By makfu - October 4 - 9:35 pm

  After 10 months of ownership, I can say this is one of the few cars for which I have felt no regret after purchasing. It’s stunning to look at, inside and out and with the FE3 package and 6speed manual, it is a true drivers car. Most importantly, it is genuinely a quality piece. The body structure is incredibly solid even with the stiff FE3 suspension setup it feels imperturbable. The interior isn’t just excellent for a car in the mid-40’s, it is actually nicer than a number of more expensive cars, with great fit & finish and superb materials. The Nav/Infotainment System is the best I have ever seen or heard. The exterior features Lexus like panel gaps.

  Great Luxury, Performance, and Value - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By yatesd - September 12 - 7:33 am

  I compared to the 2009 Audi A4, BMW 328xi, Mercedes C300 AWD, and Lexus IS250 AWD. Actually drove them all at a test track. The CTS offers the space of a BMW 5 series at a better value.

  So far so good - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By daveb - September 8 - 11:22 am

  Had the CTS for over a month and so far its been awesome. Lots of fun to drive. Averaging about 21 MPG. No issues so far. I was considering a Lincoln MKS but this car is so much more exciting Im glad I chose it!
