This Year's Model Updates:

For 2004, the CTS adds a more powerful 3.6-liter V6 in addition to the standard 3.2-liter motor. The base suspension has been modified with new shocks, while the Sport package is now available on all models. The interior receives a slight refresh in the form of a color-keyed center console, additional chrome trim and white lighting. Lastly, an engine water temperature gauge replaces the clock on the dash.

  • GM Has Exceeded its limitations - 2004 Cadillac CTS

    I test drove 7 other luxury sport class cars and this car is the ultimate. The handling is superb. the color and fit is very nice.

  • Glad I waited for the 2004 - 2004 Cadillac CTS

    version the 40 more HP makes this car truly fun to drive. I got mine loaded with all the options except the Nav System and I absolutely love it.

  • Surprise - 2004 Cadillac CTS

    Very surprised with the overall handling and comfort of the CTS. My past Cadillacs have been a 1999 STS and a 2001 DTS while the other two Cadillacs have been out of the CTS category I am really impressed with the smaller just as agile CTS

    This car is comfortable both in city and highway driving. For the size, comfort and power I think that the mileage is respectable. I have had two E-Class Mercedes, a Lexus SC400 and LX470 and three Corvettes in the last 10 years but for some unexplainable reason I like this car best.

  • What a great suprise - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    I came home after getting a raise to tell my wife I wanted to get her an Escalade for her birthday. To my surprise, she said that she had been driving SUVs for 13 years and since our kids were driving she wanted something fun. This has proven to be a big hit - solid construction, great looking and FUN to drive. This is a big step in the right direction for Cadillac.

  • Love this car!!! - 2004 Cadillac CTS

    I have the luxury sport package and its everything I wanted. Its sporty and fun, yet roomy enough for passengers and luggage. It has power and style. I didnt expect to like it this much, as I previously had a more expensive luxury sport import. However, this car is a dream and I am very glad I purchased it.

  • What a Pretty Car - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    No car I have ever driven has received so much attention as my CTS. I have been stopped at least twice a week since I got the car with people providing favorable feedback. If you dont want attention, dont drive this car. It is extremely confortable for the long haul and has the acceleration, handling, and braking to mix it up in traffic. Glad I got it.

  • Do Not Buy, Definitely Dont Lease - 2004 Cadillac CTS
    By -

    Obviously, most positive reviews are looks and fun. It does look good, but is only fun in optimal driving conditions. If sliding (from a stop at slow acceleration) on slightly wet pavement is is fun, its fun. Ive driven in Illinois winters for sixteen years this is the only car Ive ever slid off the road in. Interior looks good for awhile, but black finish on control buttons has chipped off. Interior lights dim off and on, and the cruise control has been disengaging--it only has 18,000 miles on the car. To this date, it has had three recalls. Dont waste money on a tired name when there are car quality companies producing luxury vehicles built with the driver in mind.

    I really enjoy the sporty looks and the European feel, firmer drive of the Cadillac CTS. It gets great gas mileage and has plenty of power. It also draws a lot of lookers!
