  Amazing First Car!! - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By ideal_dreams - February 9 - 7:17 pm

  I am 16 and have been eying the Cadillac brand ever since my dad bought his Escalade. I noticed the CTS and instantly fell in love. I found an 06 luxary model with a little over 70,000 miles on it and bought it. There are absolutely no problems with the car and I look forward to driving it every time I get in it. Its got some great pickup, especially with the sport button and it drives very well in the snow. I have no regrets of buying this car and would recommend it to anyone I talk to.

  Exciting Cts - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Ltvic - August 24 - 2:21 am

  Well designed car. I added every option but the engine block heater and chose the 5-speed manual trans. Fun to drive. After 8 years I still have people tell me what a beautiful car I have. Styling remains fresh. No mechanical problems except recall items which had caused me zero problems.

  Fun CTS - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By dtb2 - July 19 - 10:49 am

  We had this CTS since the month of December in the year of 2007 and this car still drives like new. The only problem on the car is that something is rattling under the hood whenever we take off fast or if the car is in park, but we love this car, and this car is so nice that ill pass it down to my son for his first car. We love CTS and I recommend it to anybody who likes them.

  Great If Garage Kept - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By reggaebooba420 - June 1 - 5:52 pm

  Depending on where you live can play a huge role in the yearly damage on your car, rain, humidity, extreme heat and cold weather are all happening factors. I keep mine in the garage and never miss an inspection or oil change. With only 37,000 miles, 6,100 yearly average, my Cadillac provides luxury and comfort for swinging and banging on the streets of Houston.

  pleased - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By kstaff22 - May 7 - 2:07 pm

  Bought 2003 with lux package-17 wheels for my wife in Jan 2003.We liked the ride and handling and have taken it a couple trips to FLA.Had a few issues which I expected since it was the 1st year of a new model. After a couple months their was an issue with the steering rack that cadillac replaced--after that no problems.There was a recall on the Goodyears that they replaced at 25k--- and a rim that pitted that they replaced---so I didnt have to spring for new tires till almost 60K miles! Live outside of Buffalo NY---handles well in the snow. Looking forward to getting a new CTS-4 next year after I get my moneys worth out of these new tires.

  Nice Car - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Caddy owner - April 5 - 12:22 pm

  I purchased used and only had to replace the battery in about two years. Very reliable car and very easy to conduct routine maintenance. I am not a mechanic yet it took me about an hour to replace all brakes and routers. Fast car and handles great. Nothing to complain about.

  Blue/Silver - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By blue max - December 5 - 9:43 pm

  Car purchased with 9000 miles It was not titled until I purchased it Exec.car. We put over 14000 miles a year car now has 81000 on it. G.M replaced 3 of 4 Good Year tires and didnt help much. Put 4 Bridgestone Pole positions and the car went like it was on rails. Wonderful This car has the Sport Suspension on it ant the wife and I love the way it handles and rides. We drive it hard on long trips and regularly get near 28 miles per gallon.Large trunk with amazing space. Navigation system is not user friendly but gives you lots of other features related to the car. We found a great 2009 CTS and will pick it up in a couple of days. Would have liked to keep it in the family

  CTS leaves some things off - 2003 Cadillac CTS
  By Jack Watters - November 20 - 10:00 am

  After getting use to more engine noise and tighter suspension and steering Ive begine to like to drive this car. BUT Caddy left some things out: the glove box light with no option for one and the right hand wiper stalk is too close to the steering wheel. Its too easy to start the wipers when you dont want to. They also decided that double sun visors for forward and side werent necessary. WRONG! It would also have been nice if the insterment panel had back lighting all the time. It is hard to read driving into the sun with no back light. Rough pavement noise is louder than it should be for a Caddy.
