  • Traded my 530I - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Baby boomer whos never owned a new American built car (or any American car other than the old Pontiac I had in high school). Owned 2 BMW 530is and a C280 Mercedes before that. Happy to see that theres an American car that finally measures up. Is it perfect - no? Probably the only car in its class not to have bluetooth, but OnStar is GMs baby so I can live with my bluetooth earpiece and use the OnStar when needed. What I am impressed with is the styling, performace, and functionality. Got the 3.6DI with 304 horses and its definitely quicker than the 530i. The audio with XM and 40GB hard drive and centerpoint surround sound is sweet. Escalade-like styling makes it.

  • 6 cyl engine on CTS is real good - 2008 Cadillac CTS

    Traded in 2005 STS. CTS rides sharper, and a bit more quiet. Engine is slightly better on Combined MPG now averaging 20.2 after 9,000 miles.

  • You should have bought the Hot Lava - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I shopped for a month, drove every sports sedan, suv, and AWD vehicles made, and bought this one. This is my 86 IROC Z28 all grown up. Shes now a sexy graceful American knows who she is, what she wants and how to get it with style! I bought the awd hot lava and it has bluetooth and all the other stuff you guys want! I have waited 48 years for this car that yes still has room for improvement as you all have suggested, but we bought it for $8,700 under the sticker, cash deal and so far it hasnt disappointed me on my 100 mi/day commute on dirt hills and curves in North Idaho terrain.

  • Stands Out! - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I originally was looking at the Infiniti G35 or BMW 335. The Infiniti was a tremendous value, and the BMW had an engine that was simply irresistible. Then, out of nowhere, I cam across the CTS. To say the least, this car is an architectural masterpiece. It can stand out, unlike the BMW and Infiniti. Especially in Red. I get at least one compliment a day on that car, people always ask me what kind of car it is, when I say "Cadillac", thy always say "what?".

  • Love my CTS - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I love driving my CTS. ItÂ’s a perfect balance between performance and comfort. Performs well on long trips and around town. Fit and trim are excellence. No annoying rattles. The sun roof provides adequate shade from the Georgia sunshine

    The ride and interior of this car are truly outstanding! Never in my wildest dreams did we think of owning a Cadillac, however "WOW" are we in love with this vehicle.

  • good car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I just bought a black 2008 Cadillac CTS. I Love it. It is a great car, but it has had a sensor break about 2 months after I bought the car. Luckily my warranty covered that. The build quality is pretty good but there is a bunch of cheap plastics. Overall its a great car and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • my broken car - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I was excited to get this car, however now after 6000 miles and two trips to the shop for MAJOR issues, I am not so happy. First the cooling system failed and it had to be towed, now is a week in for a new camshaft and cylinder heads, if this is what GM is making, this is my first and last.....

  • best cts yet - 2008 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I bought a cts-v in 2005, and I thought that car was a blast to drive. The 2008 cts, 3.6 d.i., all wheel drive, handles as good, and ride quality is superior to the V. I have to admit, that I love this new cts better than the cts-v. interior is comfortable, the exterior is beautiful! I am in love with my cts!
