  • Great fun! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is the most fun I have had in a car since the 60s. It is definitly not your fathers caddy.

  • Best car ever - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have to drive for about an hour each day, and I have tryed a number of different cars, but now having this CTS, I love the drive each day. I decided to get the NAV system and sport package, and they are well worth it. I am certainly hooked on its quality and "head-turn" factor. Its got about enough power to beat anything normal on the road, even though its a 4- door "pure-luxury" vehicle. Its even great in the snow, as I have had occasion to prove...

  • Affordable Luxury - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The car is a great looker. It attracts looks from almost everybody and regularly from more expensive car owners such as Mercedes E320 and the likes. It is a fun car to drive with an intuitive console easy to read and use. It offers great comfort and is fun to drive. The car is perorming flawlessly and all that at a very reasonable price for a car of that class.

  • Solid Performer - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Had some problems in the first 35,000 miles, but not since then (now at over 70,000 miles). Its been reliable since then and still fun to drive.

    Just drove the CTS from Chicago to Boston and back. The ride was a real pleasure. Buttoned up the cars interior is very quiet which added to the enjoyment of the 12 speaker Bose system. The smart sound system even adjusted itself for optimum listening when I had the sunroof open.

  • The time of your life! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Ive had my CTS for about a month and bought it after test driving the BMW 3 and 5 series several times. Long time Honda owner, but had to look at American cars after seeing so many look alikes from the Japanese & Germans. Tough to tell an Audi from a BMW from a Toyota. The CTS is a blast to drive - almost seems like it is reading your mind when you want to change lanes. Once you begin moving over you better be ready - the CTS is very responsive. Can easily cruise at 80 mph and you dont even notice. I defintely use my radar detector at all times. Great turning radius as well, very tight and quick.

  • Never feeling old. - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I decided it was time to grow up, bite the bullet and get a 4-dr. In my youth, 4-drs were grandpa cars. Well, Im almost 54 but this car rates as well, if not better than the sports cars Ive always driven. The performance, turning radius, gadgets and power are awesome! I looked at all the other cars out there and wanted something that looked different but exuded luxury. This car is it. I got the White Diamond Luxury Pkg. with everything. I added the Wood Trim (dealer aftermarket). It turns heads and stirs up lots of conversations from strangers. This was the best choice by far. Each day I learn about another gadget on it. Thank you, Cadillac!!!

  • THE RIGHT CHOICE - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Slected the CTS after comparing it to the BMW 325. Price wise it was not even close and the wife from the being was pro CTS. We have had this car for 8 months now and we still enjoy just riding around town in it. I always thought of Cadillacs as too large in size and only a car my father would like, well this CTS covers all generations.

  • Great car; great pricing - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    downsized form a Lexus 400LS. A little louder and a rougher ride, but handling is great and its fun to drive. No regrets.

  • CTS is a great ride - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    For us true Americans we are hard pressed to find a review site that hasnt sold out to the Japanese or Germans. So, after a PILE of research, I gave the CTS a go...and I will likely never come back. Taking turns at 45 MPH causes the stability control to kick in, but the car sticks the turn. Acceleration is excellent and the access to controls allows you never to take your eyes off the road. Most of the controls are voice activated so using your hands is optional anyway. It is a very steady and stable ride and response is phenominal. I am proud to be an American car owner and am extremely happy that this no longer means settling for a lesser ride.
