    This car was not even on my list, but after searching unsucessfully for a G35 with a manual tranny I gave it a look-and boy am I happy I did. IMHO the Infiniti has nothing on this car. The Infiniti has more horsepower, but it doesnt feel faster and it is MUCH louder. Also the Infiniti interior comes off cheap looking for a car in this class in comparison. Drive the Caddy and you instantly feel like youre driving an expensive car. I have owned a LOT of new cars and this one ranks above all save the Corvette. Like the Corvette the car is instantly recongnizable among the masses of 4 wheeled jelly beans on the road. I give the car a 9 out of 10.

    Wifes buying decision based on the design. I wasnt too sure (I drive a 5 series BMW) but now I am really pleased with the purchase. Driving experience is just excellent and the design really grows on you. Best trip up the mountains that we ever had. Car runs flawlessly and seems to get stronger as we put more miles on it. We bought the NAV system and now I dont know if I would ever buy a car without one.

    Ive owned 26 vehicles, including three fine SHOs. This the best by far. Cadillac has hit a home run with the CTS. The only problem is it will take customers away from its other aging platforms. Problem areas are A pillar size which obstructs side vision and rear vision is limited by rear end height and rear seat headrests. The CTS handles like a dream and the brakes are topnotch.

  • Safe Used Car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    When looking for a used car for our daughter, we selected a used CTS. Our feeling that it is the best buy for the money. It provides more value than anything new in our budget. It gets 27 mpg on the road. The CTS has a very solid ride, great brakes, and it delivers outstanding performance in sport mode that rivals anything on the road today. We are tall and the higher roof line is important. The trunk is OK, but another couple inches in length here would be better.

  • Sexy Beast - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    I did a lot of research before I bought this car. I test drove several cars, I went to the car show and considered every car under 45,000. In the end the CTS was the car that really stood out from the rest. My wife told me that if I were going to buy a car in that range I should get one that looked like it was. I got one with every option except the navigation system. Its garnet red and its about as sexy as a car can be. I love driving it, looking at it, playing with all the toys and showing it off.

    My faith in GM has been rebuilt with this car. The overall quality is excellent, it is fun to drive, it is economical and, it is high dependable. I now have 65,000 trouble free miles on it. Yes, I do have wind noise from the sunroof but that is it for negatives.

    I have had no problems with this car in almost four years. I just had to change a stop light bulb. I love my CTS.

  • excellent! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    ive had this car one week and would not trade it for anything. got the 5 speed manual and runs awesome. very comfortable seats and excellent engine power at any speed. only two things to modify: the glove box is too small, and the car revs too high at highway speeds in 5th gear: either add a 6th gear, or change the 5th speed gear to get better gas mileage. everything else about the car rocks!
