  2008 CTS DI - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Jim G - October 26 - 10:46 pm

  Great vehicle to drive. A bit heavy but it feels good once it gets rolling... AWD takes a bit of performance away. I swear my 2007 (non-DI is quicker and faster) But a truly great car. Love the entire redesign.

  Stick shift Caddy - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Stan Thompson - October 24 - 12:31 am

  The car is very responsive, solidly crafted, and in black with chrome rims is gorgeous. The stick shift has loosened up nicely after the first forty-five days. Seating is very comfortable and two hour drives produce zero stiffness.

  rear axle issue - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By car groupie - October 14 - 10:26 am

  The rear axle vibrates at 55 mph and the factory says they are working on a fix. This has been going on for 90 days. In another 60 days without a fix we will post a web site GM wont like, but it will be truthful.

  A truly excellent car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By makfu - October 4 - 9:35 pm

  After 10 months of ownership, I can say this is one of the few cars for which I have felt no regret after purchasing. It’s stunning to look at, inside and out and with the FE3 package and 6speed manual, it is a true drivers car. Most importantly, it is genuinely a quality piece. The body structure is incredibly solid even with the stiff FE3 suspension setup it feels imperturbable. The interior isn’t just excellent for a car in the mid-40’s, it is actually nicer than a number of more expensive cars, with great fit & finish and superb materials. The Nav/Infotainment System is the best I have ever seen or heard. The exterior features Lexus like panel gaps.

  Be careful before taking delivery - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Disapointedgmowner - October 3 - 5:20 pm

  I just brought my new CTS after looking for a car for some time. The interior is beautiful and sold me. That was my mistake. I looked the car over admiringly since, and was annoyed that at $40K+ car would not have a rear bumper that was aligned properly. The dealer informed me that it is a manufacturing defect and it is normal that the bumper be out of alignment on one side of the car or the other. "The bumper is just too big" was the actual reply. Ive contacted Cadillac through their web site and been given a very thoughtful run around. I could have learned to live with the defect, having been a loyal GM owner for 20+, but the responses and lack of care make me wish I had not bought it.

  Great Luxury, Performance, and Value - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By yatesd - September 12 - 7:33 am

  I compared to the 2009 Audi A4, BMW 328xi, Mercedes C300 AWD, and Lexus IS250 AWD. Actually drove them all at a test track. The CTS offers the space of a BMW 5 series at a better value.

  Jury still out - getting concerned - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Steve - September 11 - 4:38 pm

  I purchased this vehicle in February right off the showroom floor. Great fun to drive, sharp looks. I wanted the wood trim interior and the large sunroof. The car is very smooth on the road and handles well since it is rear wheel drive. Interior space is a bit tight. Storage cubbyholes and trunk space are spare. Quality issues have come up. Two weeks after the purchase the steering went out (fluid leak around the rack) - that was in the shop for two more weeks getting fixed (free loaner, thankfully). Just today the radio went out. I have the high end radio (no nav) with the 40 GB HD. The radio now only picks up AM intermittently. I am a little worried and even considering trading.

  So far so good - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By daveb - September 8 - 11:22 am

  Had the CTS for over a month and so far its been awesome. Lots of fun to drive. Averaging about 21 MPG. No issues so far. I was considering a Lincoln MKS but this car is so much more exciting Im glad I chose it!

  So Far, So Good - 2008 Cadillac CTS
  By Mark - September 8 - 10:43 am

  Former Lexus owner. Shopped against BMW 5 series, Audi A4 and Lexus 330. BMW dealer compares CTS DI with its 220 hp 3 series -- not even close unless you like stripped down, slow German cars. Lexus 330 was close, but is a lot more conservative looking and $3,000 more. With all the bells and whistles, none could come close to the Cadillac. I thought I was too young for a Cadillac sedan, but this car has exceeded my expectations and draws compliments from friends and clients.
