Package contents have been shuffled, and "synthetic leather" will be added to the options list later this year.

  • Very pleased - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is my first Cadillac - I was considering my first non-American purchase since buying a used Honda from a family member several years ago. My father has had several and purchased an STS in the past couple of months in black - which was the color I thought I wanted. When I put my feature list together, the dealer could DX the car in silver, white or red. I love the red! People make a point to tell me they like the car.

    My CTS is very nice, I enjoy driving it. I have had no trouble at all with it and its sleek and sexy. It handles the road with such precision. Test drive one and see for yourself!

    2005 CTS with the perks will cost ya around 40000 but the car will exceed all the you have heard about. The 255 hp can push the car up to 130 mph not bad. Handling with the sport package is very good. The decor is not as refined as its german buds but the room you get inside the cab is great and more than makes up the difference. its my fist GM car in yrs

    The ride is smooth and the handling is good. Car responded when asked and was quiet while riding. A/C could be a little quiter.

  • Incredible Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS

    I have had the car for six months and 15,000 kms with no problems. It is great to drive, the transmission is silky smooth, and it has great power in all ranges. GM has a winner here.

  • Sharp car, great performance & handling - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is my 6th Cadillac, and my wife absolutely loves it even if she wont admit it. It has rather sharp styling (I like the STS better) but everyone likes it. The black is real nice when its clean. Power and handling are superb, interior comfort is unsurprassed, and Cadillac continues to refine their memory system, this car can remember the seat position, radio settings, climate control, exit preference, Twilight Sentinel settings, mirrors, and it even has a personalized name for each key holder! The XM Satellite radio is superb. We were originally not going to get the navigation system, but once she found out that it can play DVD movies it was all over. You can even watch while driving!

  • Black Raven CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS

    I have (and do) owned BMWs for years. I am a member of BMWCCA and really appreciate these cars but I was ready for something different. I love this CTS as does my wife who is not a "car person." I have not had any type of problem in these first 9 months. My car is black with all options made plus numerous dealer extras, rear spoiler, back-up light louvers, grill, custom ss exhaust system, cold air intake, complete interior wood and more. Often people stop me to say it is beautiful and ask more about it. I am a car nut and not easy to please but this one has done it. Style is of course a matter of taste but I think this has it all. I have heard some negatives on the interior but do not agree.

  • A delight to drive and own - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is my fourth Cadillac of this ilk: two Cateras and now two CTS. Obviously I have been highly satisfied with all, despite critics who bemoaned the "unreliability" of the Cateras (not true) and the "lack of information" on the 03 CTS. My experience is that the latest CTS is a great car: fine performance, wonderful design and absolutely no trouble.

  • Need more like this in Europe! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Best car I ever had. Last one was a Mercedes, but this one...

  • What a thrill! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The power is exhilarating! The road maneverabilty is great. It corners very well and it turns around "on a dime". I highly recommend the CTS to everyone.
