Overview & Reviews

The base 3.2-liter V6 engine has been dropped; a 2.8-liter V6 will become the base engine later in the model year. A six-speed manual transmission is now standard regardless of engine choice. Package contents have been shuffled, and "synthetic leather" will be added to the options list later this year.

• Excellent handling, spacious cabin, wide array of available features, alternative look.

  2005 Cadillac CTS 3.6 - 2005 Cadillac CTS

  Have not had any problems. Fun car to drive not only the accelerating but it hangs to the road with a small turning radius.

  World Class - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By SteveB - June 29 - 3:55 pm

  While many would argue that buying a Cadillac vs. a Lexus is crazy, the simple fact is that I purchased a car based on the enjoyment I recieve while driving it instead of considering only the "re-sale" price for the next owner. The CTS handles very well (this from someone that used to race Camaros in SCCA autocross), it has plenty of power for normal (and somewhat spitited) driving and fits the driver like a four door Trans-Am. The rear seat provides plenty of room for "adults" vs many competitiors that provide onlly enough leg room for pre- schoolers. In other words, if you are considering a BMW, Mercedes C-Class, or Lexus ES or IS, you would do well to drive a CTS before buying.

  Cadillac a winner - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Cadillac done right - June 29 - 3:46 pm

  I have had many new cars, this is my first Cadillac but will not be my last. I am very satisfied with the ride and performance. Everything works and works well. I looked at Audi, BMW and Benz models in this price range and they did not come close to ride, roominess or smooth performance.

  Excellence from Cadillac - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By James Westwick - June 25 - 4:54 pm

  I tried hard to hear a squeak, feel a vibration, receive a jolt from hitting a pothole. No Success. After some twenty years of Nissans, Mercedes and Porsches, I am now back to a good old American-built car. The Cadillac CTS has it all -- whether on a superhighway or in the driveway. Solid, positive handlng, even a powerful engine that runs on 87-octane fuel. Who would have thought?

  Excellent Choice - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Anthony - June 24 - 10:37 pm

  Excellent choice. You get a powerful entry level sports car that offers the legendary comfort of a Cadillac, all at a reasonable price. Plus its unique Cadillac lines always cause heads to turn.

  Great Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Misty - June 24 - 7:14 pm

  I Love the car.I was looking for a car that was very sporty but not a 2 door sports car. I am 27 & even though it has 4 doors it isnt a family car...

  CTS is a very solid and potent driver. The handling is firm and responsive. The 3.6 L v6 is snappy and gives confidence. Overall it is a pleasure to drive and has a very sporty feel, yet still provides comfort for long hauls.

  Great 4 Door Sports luxury car. - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Beverly J. Vaughn - June 20 - 1:44 am

  My husband drives CTS all the time. He is 62 and drives the CTS like he is 25. The accelleration is extremely good against similar foreign autos. Although it is a 4 door sports car it does ride well. The 10 way seats allow us to ride very comfortablly while we listen to SUNNY (24) on the satelite radio. Handling is teriffic. Sure wish the V8 wasnt so expensive after all I am 76 years young. Happy Motoring.

  Mega Car - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Mike - June 16 - 12:31 pm

  Not sure what Edmunds say that this car cant keep up with its competitors. This is an unbelievable automobile. Its fast, handles like nothing else in its bracket, and looks great. Just ask the all the gawkers to look at this car when it passes by. My is car black and black and it looks great. Have 28,000 miles on it with no quality problems, in fact brake wear is fantastic. All in all this is car with no competition.

  "Porsche Driving" Husband Loves it, too! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By Beverly Hynes - June 11 - 1:06 pm

  The CTS has the look and comfort of luxury with the power to accelerate quickly if needed. It has a sturdy safe feel on the highway and controls are easily reached without cumbersome search while driving. We love it.
