Overview & Reviews

The base 3.2-liter V6 engine has been dropped; a 2.8-liter V6 will become the base engine later in the model year. A six-speed manual transmission is now standard regardless of engine choice. Package contents have been shuffled, and "synthetic leather" will be added to the options list later this year.

• Excellent handling, spacious cabin, wide array of available features, alternative look.

  Worst I have ever owned - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By avguy - November 10 - 9:49 pm

  This is the worst car I have ever owned. I had to replace the entire valve train at 70,000 miles at $4500 and now at 87,000 miles a connecting rod went and now needs a new engine for $6100 and yes I changed and checked the oil. Thats how I knew it went through a quart about ever 2000 miles. If you are looking to buy one of these dont. I will never purchase another GM car, no wonder they are in so much trouble.

  CTS is really a Chevy - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By FloridaJohn - March 24 - 10:00 am

  This car is more than a disappointment. I have had over 40 new cars and this is one of the worst. The car cannot stay in alignment and already have had six new tires in 10K miles. The car is noisy and the whine or howl in the transmission is getting worse. The dealer says it is comes from the rear end and Cad has no fix at this time. I have a 2004 Toyota Solara and a Lexus and they both put this car to shame. GM must do better to keep my business.

  stay away !!! - 2005 Cadillac CTS

  Beside computer problems, my 2005 Cadillac CTS has problems with its OEM tires. The CTS wears out tires after less than 15,000 miles. The dealer experts says its normal, sorry not for me.

  Dont Purchase a Cadillac CTS - 2005 Cadillac CTS
  By carol cosentino - January 27 - 12:46 pm

  My 2005 Cadillac CTS looks great, but has a terrible ride. Going over a bump, the car shimmies and has bad tire bounce. The back seat is very uncomfortable due to the bouncing. I took it back to the dealer and was told that this is how the car rides, it has a sporty ride. Someone should have told us this before we purchased it. We cannot take it on long trips, it is too uncomfortable. Our Toyota Camry rides much better, for much less money. Also, Ive had to replace the passenger rear tire twice due to flats. People have gotten into the car and asked if it has shocks. I test drove the car before purchaseing it and it did not ride like the one we bought.
