  What A Lemon - 2001 Cadillac Catera
  By Eileen - October 25 - 2:00 am

  This is by far the worst vehicle I have ever owned and Ive owned many. The engine blew at 77,000 miles and needed a total rebuild. Then the rear went, as did the radiator, and the battery. The radio goes on and off at will, the oil light does the same. The rear windows, if you make the mistake of lowering them, will come back up when they feel like it - sometimes it takes days. As of today, I have been riding around with a garbage bag covering my window and its been down for 3 days! The rear lights, including the blinkers, also work when they want to. The electronics in this vehicle are a joke. What a piece of junk.

  Great interior,unreliable engine area - 2001 Cadillac Catera
  By dcmertz - April 19 - 6:55 am

  My husband and I purchased this car 6 months ago. We have since then had the spoiler fall off (without the dealer taking ownership of this) the headlights are already clouded, replaced the front tires, and these are not inexpensive over $200 each. We have also replaced the idle arm, the coolant leaked behind the engine and only one place to get the part, and not inexpensive to fix, We paid 6000. However have in 6 months put in 2600 in repairs. whats next? The car handles great in the winter with over 6" of snow, no complaints there, its just the maintenance is not what we paid for and for the Cadillac name this is very disappointing. Wish we would have read up on it more. Buyer beware.

  This Car is Junk - 2001 Cadillac Catera
  By This is No Cadillac - March 2 - 1:57 pm

  I purchased this vehicle and it has been in the shop more than on the road. Even the people at the auto parts store said, you didnt buy one of these. Its not a Cadillac, its a piece of junk. Everything is going wrong with it, and it has cost us just about as much in repairs as the car did to begin with. And today we found out that a oil sensor is bad, but they tell us that if they try and replace it at the Cadillac dealer, there is a chance that it will mess up the entire engine, and the engine will have to be replaced. And Cadillac does not cover this, even though it is a design flaw. Do not buy this car. I have had other Cadillacs, and by far this is the worst.

  This Car Stinks! - 2001 Cadillac Catera
  By mo - September 26 - 7:34 am

  Do not buy the Catera! It is the absolute worst car ever. I have had problems from the radio not working to replacing head gaskets. The car has probably been in the repair shop at least twice a month since I got it. Please do not purchase this car!

  Devil Vehicle - 2001 Cadillac Catera
  By Chris - December 25 - 4:25 pm

  The 2001 Cadillac Catera may be the most poorly built car of all time. I had two seperate lemons involving the A/C and engine. Honestly, I loved it the first few months I had it, but the dealership and frequent problems with the car turned my feelings in the other direction. This car is total garbage.
