  • A fun to drive Cadillac - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I drove the CTS from Wisconsin to California and back this winter. A great car at 75 to 80 mph. Got better then 27 miles per gallon for the trip. I now have 10,500 trouble free miles on the car. The only major improvement would be a bigger trunk.

  • Love it! Turns lots of heads! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the car drives as nice as it looks. Not your typical Cadillac ride, but instead a very sporty, responsive feel. Its obvious that the engineers took this into consideration. The car also seems like it is built very solid.

  • Love my caddy - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I was apprehensive about buying the car b/c I know the catera was such a dud. But the cadillac certified warranty and the $12K in depreciation convinced me to buy this car used. I have had no problems with it. Best fit and finish I have ever seen on American car, very tight panel gaps. Handling is on par w/ 535 bimmer I once had and absolutely blows it away off the line. Gets front rowed every time I valet. Interior is a little tight but very warm with full wood pkg. Love the bose/nav radio. hate the traction control and stabilitrac systems, they take away from the fun factor of having RWD. also needs a hand brake instead of foot brake.

  • Awesome - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I saw the 2003 Cadillac CTS on TV and said "thats what Im buying." I leased one a month later and love it. My lease is up in November 2005. I am purchasing a 2005 model without even a test drive. The only thing that I do not like is the Goodyear tires. They wore very badly even with proper rotation.

  • What a car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Face it, the car is awesome. I love the way it handles in tight curves. Its a great highway cruiser with comfort to boot (once you find your set settings), speed and excelleration are pretty decent. This car really turns heads. I have people of all ages making compliments, many at stoplights are questioning cost. A few with BMWs & MBs are checking it out while parked. I just love to drive it. Cadillac has hit the mark

  • Fun Time - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Have used as everyday car. Its fun, travels well and has had no problems at all. Wish I had bough this car sooner. Handles well, looks great and is a blast to drive. Plenty of trunk space for single guy.

  • Eat your hearts out Euro trash, Caddies - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The fact that GM is actually using the transmissions that they supply too BMW is amazing in itself. This car is up there with the Lexus GS300, BMW 530i, Mercedes E320 at a price $11,000 to 18,000 dollars cheaper. Preformance and size are identicle, this is a no brainer. However if you have money you would rather throw away than donate to worthy cause, instead of a dealer.

  • Loved my car since dy 1 - no problems - 2003 Cadillac CTS

    Since day one, our CTS has been a blast. Plus, we have never received the compliments on other lux cars that we have on this.

  • I Love My CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    The new CTS is one of the best GM products EVER! (XLR is the other). The car is so refined and comfortable. The new 3.2 liter V6 is so quiet that when i turn the car on, i cant even hear it. I looked at the BMW 330i and the Audi A4 3.0 CVT and they could not compare. If you do get the CTS get the sport Luxury Package, the only way to go.

  • Best Car Ever - 2003 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love my 2003 Cadillac CTS. I have had no problems with it. It is fun to drive and handles great. It is a little light on horse power, but it looks like they have corrected that in the newer models.
