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.

  I bought my car in 10/04 and so far I love it. I receive compliments everywhere I go.

  Although I have always loved speed (I traded in an 02 Camaro) I got the small 6-cylinder engine in my 2005 Cadillac CTS. It handles beautifully, and has a button on the shift to switch into sport mode. This car has great pickup and a smooth ride.

  Cool Chicks Cruise in Caddys - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By caddy girl - October 15 - 3:02 pm

  The Cadillac CTS rocks in its sporty style and luxury styling. I never thought Id be a Caddy girl but I feel glamorous behind the wheel and rock out with the superb sound system. I cannot wait for the 09 CTS-V and STS-V. Quite frankly, I could afford the other luxury vehicles (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) but none of them had the same qualities I found in my CTS. My Cadillac is as hot as a pin-up girl - everyone takes a second look because shes smokin hot! Im proud to be a Caddy girl!

  Snow Joke - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By CawfeeTawk - September 22 - 9:59 am

  While Ive thoroughly enjoyed the way this car handles and drives, its a nightmare in the snow. Long Island,NY had only 3 snowy days, one with real accumulation. This car couldnt even negotiate a one inch ridge of icy snow leaving me unable to get of a parking space. I needed to be towed a few times over the winter because the rear wheel drive is so inadequate (even with "Stabili-trac & snow traction engaged). I never had this issue with front wheel drive cars and I would never buy or lease a rear-wheel-drive vehicle again. With that said, if an all-wheel-drive version is available and affordable, Id be in it in a NY minute.

  My 3.6L CTS Experience - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By breaga01 - July 3 - 12:20 pm

  Very quick responsive fun car to drive. All that fun is hard on the tires as I found out when I had to replace them at 25K. A great looking car unique to Cadillac, Its easy not to confuse it with other cars because of its styling.

  Loads of Fun! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By rhaydon - July 1 - 4:41 pm

  This is my first Cadillac, although my parents have had several over the years so I am familiar with them. I am 37 yrs old and absolutely love this car! I have the 3.6L V6 and it gets about 26 mpg highway and 19 mpg city. I average about 24 mpg and I step into the pedal quite often. It did have to go back to the dealer at about 3000 miles when the car started pulling to the left for no apparent reason. It took 2 trips to the dealer, but they figured out it was a failed steering gear and replaced it under warranty. Overall, this car is superb!

  Love My CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By PaulCTS - April 29 - 11:03 am

  Just bought my 2005 Cadillac CTS, moonstone/ebony, with every option except navigation. I am very happy with my purchase. I also drove the Mercedes-Benz C320 (too small), the Infiniti G35 (too cheap an interior), the BMW 330i (again too small) and found the CTS to have the most power, the most room, and the most unique look. And since not everyone has one, there is some exclusivity to having one. I traded my 2003 Deville DHS, gave up some room, but gained a lot more sport.

  Good Bye Lincoln (For Now) - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By JJL - April 12 - 5:12 am

  I purchased my 2005 CTS V6 3.6L Hi Feature several months ago. I still cant stop looking at it. The design is very eye catching and has practical aerodynamic application. The interior is designed well. The control panel is easy to get to and manipulate. The bucket seats keep me comfortable during my long drives. The navigation system has saved me more than once. The handling is very stiff and sporty. I was surprised at the turn radius. After driving a Lincoln LS for several years, I would have to say that this is a slight step up.
