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.

Excellent - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By myredcar - March 20 - 5:08 pmI havent had a chance to put many miles on it this weekend, but my new CTS is a dream! I spend a lot of time in my car, so the interior quality was a big priority - I am impressed. I was planning on another black car, but nearby dealers offered only white, silver, or red. I picked red and am thrilled with my choice!

2005 Cadillac CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By happy caddy - March 18 - 10:36 amOnce I decided to purchase a Cadillac CTS, it was a very easy task. I picked the color with the sport and luxury package. What more could I want, besides a CTS-V of course? Well, was I surprised, once the snow melted off the roads, this is just a great car to drive. What fun is is to see eyes looking at my Cadillac zoom by. There are a few things that I think Cadillac could improve on though. I like hand brakes, I cant even see the parking brake petal when driving. Also, I know that this is minor but couldnt GM find room to put the date somewhere on the navigation systems screen. Overall Im HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY with my CTS. I cant wait for 2007 model with all wheel drive.

We love our CTS! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By RR Fait - March 16 - 10:00 amI purchased the CTS for my wife. She feels so safe driving it thanks to the frame structure design that resembles that used by her favorite Nascar driver, Scott Wimmer and the Cat car!! I have to admit that I feel secure also but my review would go deeper by saying I really like the handeling on curves and in tight places, its excellent. I would like to have the instruement panel a little more visible, especially when the steering wheel is in my most comfortable position. This is (overall) a very beautiful automobile to own and operate. Hats off to GM on this concept..

Love it - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By Chaz - March 8 - 8:17 pmI have the 2005 Cadillac CTS Luxury Sport model w/navigation, and 5-speed automatic transmission. I actually bought my car used, (not a demo) w/4,100 miles. It is a blast to drive. My first choice had been a Chrysler 300C, but I had a Cadillac STS prior, and this to me drove so much better. The doors close solidly, and the fit and finish suprised me. This car is much quieter (wind noise) than my STS was. I highly reccommend it.

A Cadillac for young people - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By AJ Viper - February 26 - 12:40 amMy Cadillac CTS V6 with navigation has an MSRP of around $44,000. loaded. Its ride is smooth, inviting, and responsive. The engine has a nice American roar to it when you accelerate through a yellow light. Its exterior leaves nothing behind except for the people staring at it, of course. Its interior with heated lumbar seats is accomidating, welcoming, and deserves your cruisin time. The Bose sound sytem is excellent. You cant drive this car without the music blaring. The navigation system helps if you stink with maps, or are just lazy like me!. I replaced the wheels and rims for 20". I guess automakers haventcaught up yet in the tire department. My new tires were an extra $5,000 out of my pocket. I have not had any problems with the vehicle yet and I hope this will continue.

A real head-turner! - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By BWV565 - February 17 - 6:31 pmI bought my 2004 Cadillac CTS 3.6L black beauty in March 2004. It is loaded with the sports luxury package, DVD navigation, etc. My only complaints are the lack of a locking gas cap and the DVD Navigation system is not 100% reliable in midtown Toronto. Otherwise the car is spectacular. I wouldnt give it up for the world.

Took me by surprise - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By ringsoft - December 19 - 7:13 amDrove lots of the top-of-the line imports, then after driving a top-of-the-line Saab spotted the CTS on the lot of the same dealer and asked to drive it. Cadillac was not on my list of cars to test so imagine my surprise when I was amazed by the performance. Continued on my new car quest with more import test drives, and after all was done ended up back at the Cadillac dealer and purchased the CTS. Not only did I get a fantastic car I got a fantastic deal ... with the current weakness of the dollar against foreign currency (esp. the Euro) I saved many thousands. The CTS is a true "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" car ... a luxury car that turns into a raw sports car at the whim of the driver.

A great alternative... - 2005 Cadillac CTS
By berne1 - June 27 - 10:00 amThis is a great alternative to the usual suspects (3-Series, C-Class) with stand-out styling and performance to match. Cadillac really got this one right. The engine is flexible with lots of torque AND loves to rev. 5-spd auto is so smooth. This car has great turn in and response to input. Its roomy enough for two kids in car seats in back. I love the styling, although I know this is polarizing design. Ive gotten lots of "thumbs-up" and compliments in parking lots. Growing up with imports, I decided to take a look as Id heard great things about CTS. I could not be happier with my vehicle choice. RWD is back and Im lovin it!
