  • A great American auto - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I drive this car through the streets of Las Vegas and it looks great and gets plenty of stares. The car pulls away fast at intersections and even in this summer heat is always comfortable inside. I thought the sunroof would be a problem but it has not been an issue. Sometimes Ill just take it out on the road for the sheer fun of driving it.

  • Used to Drive a Honda - 2008 CTS Rocks! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Having owned Honda Accords for the past 18 years, I never saw much reason to consider an American car until this one. Never in a million years did I think I would own a Cadillac! Having said that, this car should cause any reasonable person to change their opinion on GM. Clearly, Bob Lutz and the Caddy design team deserve a lot of credit for bringing a legendary brand back to life. This is a no apologies sedan that brings a watermelon smile every time I look at or talk about this car! Nothing looks like it on the road and it looks great! Tons of compliments from everybody that sees it. The interior materials and features are great. A lot of thought went into engineering this vehicle

  • Sweet Cadi - CTS - 2008 Cadillac CTS

    Wow, this car has exceeded my expectations and you must drive the direct inject V6 with 305 HP to truly appreciate it. Ive owned new BMW 5, new BMW 3, and new Audi 6 and the new 2008 CTS not only belongs in this class but outshines them all with ext/int design and features. You definitely get more and more for your money. The direct inject 304 hp engine is there to perform when needed. The sport suspension package with 19" wheels has the CTS hugging the road and gives it the tight feel. I love this car...its the best 4 dr sport sedan Ive owned and if Cadillac continues to deliver quality and VALUE theres no reason to go back to BMW, Audi, or consider others like Lexus.

  • Best Sports Sedan in its price class - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I have had the new CTS for three months and this is the most enjoyable automobile that I have ever owned. All aspects of the vehicle are pleasing. The performance is world class and the interior is set up in a convenient and comfortable manner. The sound system is killer and the Nav is best in class. However, the Onstar turn-by- turn is so simple and cool that I tend to use it instead of the Nav system. I love the total lighting package from the very cool ambient interior lights to the trick light pipes in the front and rear. This car is confident and capable in the canyons, the city or on the highway. Great job Cadillac!!!

  • Very happy with CTS. No more Beemers. - 2008 Cadillac CTS

    For the money, this car has the most beautiful ride and style I have had the pleasure to own. BMW cars constant service and arrogant dealer attitude sent us over to Cadillac. 100% satisfied with CTS, we have finally escaped the German car thing.

  • Proud to own a Cadillac - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Im 36 and this is my second Cadillac, but this is no fuddy-duddy car like my 04 DHS was labeled. Its a car seemingly made for my demographic. Ive never driven a car that turns as many heads and gets as many compliments and inquiries as this one does. The steering feel and handling are superb. The throttle response and manumatic shifting can take some effort to be smooth, but that kind of adds to the fun. The car likes to rev, but it lacks low end torque. It feels a little slow until you hit around 3500 RPM, at which point it takes off almost unpredictably quickly. I also have a strange odor coming from the air vents, and have since day one. Not sure what thats about.

  • Fun Car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Driven 500 miles so far getting 29 hwy mpg sound system is great absolutely no problems at this point. Love the interior and exterior white premium paint is beautiful. Love the Bluetooth phone connection talking on phone as I enter car, automatically call is transfered to car, no buttons to push. Came from BMW 745Li, have never looked back since getting the CTS (see ya BMW) this is a very nice vehicle good deal with dealer. Debated with self on Infiniti G35 and M35/45 and Lincoln MKZ CTS beat both with features and more for the money absolutely no regrets/second thoughts.

  • One Sweet Car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    After 30 years in the working world and turning 55 years young, it was time to reward myself. And, with all of the imported sport sedans everywhere, I wanted to stand out in a big way. My CTS with a black exterior/interior was a dream come true. I never thought I could love a car, but this one makes me love driving to and from work. Ive gotten compliments in Beverly Hills from Benz, BMW, Infiniti, and Lexus owners. The Cadillac art and design concept blends so well in this car. The marriage of the design, engineering, manufacturing, and assembly is really impressive. This car is one HOT HEART THROB! I want to drive it everywhere! Im proud to own an American car again!!Go Cadillac!

  • Nice Car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The CTS is a nice car but it does have some weaknesses. There is a bothersome rattle in the dash, the brake accelerator set up is too close together and is dangerous in my opinion and the storage compartments are small. The hard drive and the navigation systems are much too complicated. The interior is very nice and the exterior style is attractive.
