  • Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    This is my second Caddie, and by Far the better of the two, if you are thinking about getting one? Go For It! I had a Lexus, it was great too, but you get pretty much just as much for much less money. Not one single problem with it and I waited over six months to write this, so I would be sure No Problems! :-)

    GM, you finally beat the Europeans at their own game. A fine vehicle that has it all. Keep it up.

  • Fun to Drive - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    My wife and I bought this car to replace a comperable size Mercedes. There is simply no comparison, the CTS is more comfortable, provides greater performance, has great eye appeal and all without sending you to the poor house. We purchased the sport luxury package with a 5 speed manual transmission. My wife enjoys the luxury while I enjoy the sporty 5 speed.

    I absolutely love my CTS. Everyone checks me out while Im driving. Everyday when I open the garage door, Im impressed! Fun to drive and great to look at. I wish I would have gotten the luxery package, but mine is still sporty and luxurious for the price.

  • Performance, Comfort & Style, The CTS! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I purchased a 2003 Cadillac CTS in July of 2005. This was my third Cadillac purchase in six years and without a doubt, the best and most satisfying one of all. This car has all the luxury options and a superior level of comfort of which Cadillac built their reputation on, plus the performance matching any of the European luxury sedans Ive driven. The acceleration and response are fantastic. I cant wait until they come out with an automatic transmission in the new CTS-V series. At 400 hps it must be a thrill to drive.

  • Why a CTS over a Euro or an Asian Car? - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I test drove many cars, read consumer reports and pushed Internet fleet sales managers to madness for their lowest price for over a year. I took my time to find the car that fits my lifestyle (you dont need an SUV). My friends have BMW 3 Series, Mercedes 240 and Lexus IS/GS so I got a free test drive from them. I spun the Acura Sports and Nissan Altima as well as a few salesman around the block at local dealerships.

    Loaded CTS Lux Sport (White Diamond) a) This car is fun to drive! The handling, acceleration, "road feel" is on par with the Germans. Its not super fast, but no slouch either. b)Great Looks - Both inside and out, this car looks unique. Im glad they didnt raid the GM parts bin to make it look like all other caddys. c) Comfort - I really like the ergonomics of this car. Its very comfortable in all driving conditions. d) Value. Unlike import dealers, Cadillac sales will accept reasonable offers (plus you can use GM points, get low rates, etc...)

  • Lots of Looks - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I purchased this car used and have loved it ever since. Love the 5-speed smooth auto. transmission. The CTS can move and corners great. The Navigation / radio / CD system is easy to use. The glove box is the only thing that is poorly designed , it is rather useless except for housing your owners manual. The trunk space is large and easy to load and unload.

  • She Loves Me, and I Love Her - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I am a 36 yr. old male. I have had my CTS for about 2 weeks now.I am a big guy, 65" @ 300lbs. I fit in her well. She drives wonderfully. She has the feel of the BMW 500. She corners on Rails. I was looking at a BMW and Volovo S80. For the money, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal. When I bought the car my wife was out of town in California with friends. When she returned she unlocked the car with her remote and the pre-sets, (radio, seats, mirrors, air) all went to her favorite settings. She drove it for 30 minutes and came back smiling. I guess I get to keep her and the car too!
