  Applause Well Deserved - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Bill - February 15 - 8:30 pm

  Have owned Audi, Jag, Acura, and Infiniti. The 2008 CTS has them all beat in terms of overall performance and comfort. Averaging 2,000 miles per month of combined city/hwy driving with overall fuel economy of 22 mpg on reg gas. AWD has handled the lake effect snow in Buffalo with no problem and highway driving is more fun and just as comfortable as a Q45.

  Dissappointed, and surprised - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Jamie K - February 15 - 10:44 am

  Disappointed, and surprised. Others dont agree. My father picked up the newly redesigned CTS last year as his third Cadillac. As I am a huge BMW fan, the 2008 CTS falls way behind. First, big improvement over the embarrassing interior design of the first CTS, but the looks deceived me. When I drove the car, I was disappointed in many things. The drivers seat is too tight and not appropriate for a luxury car. The dashboard looks beautiful, but its functionality is poor, and again too tight a fit. Acceleration is typical GM, jumpy with an intense torque if you dont have a gentle-minded foot. The dealer-installed rear bumper proximity beeper is downright annoying.

  After one Year of Driving - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Michael - February 13 - 12:23 am

  Great car! I have owed many fast cars but this one is fast, corners like crazy and is a great luxury vehicle at the same time! I am getting 20 mpg around town and 26-28 on the highway! Mine has the F2 suspension with the direct Injection. If this car holds together like I think it will I will buy another (assuming GM is still in business).

  Love this car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Mark Nethers - January 5 - 12:02 pm

  Easily the best car that I have ever owned. Have driven 3,000 miles the first two weeks that I have owned it. Fantastic ride, gas mileage, styling. Never thought that I would actually love a car. I was wrong. Would recommend it to anyone.

  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.

  Great car - but not flawless - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Steve - December 27 - 1:57 pm

  My 2008 CTS AWD is now 15 months old and still drives great but Im starting to see some of the old GM aging. Ive recently had my car in for some quirky problems and have noticed wear in the interior components including gaps between components. I think this is also contributing to noticeable interior wind noise. All-in-all the car still drives great and has handled excellent on snowy roads this winter.

  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.

  Gas Guzzler - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Poor Gas Mileage - October 29 - 2:25 pm

  This vehicle guzzles gas worse than an SUV. Dont be fooled. It doesnt get anywhere near the 18 city/26 highway. Im currently getting around 16 MPG in mostly highway driving. The vehicle has an 18 gallon tank that will only take you around 230 miles. Dont buy or lease this car if you are concerned about the environment or your own vehicle ownership costs!
