  dont buy this cadi - 1999 Cadillac Catera
  By Cadi doesnt zig - April 1 - 2:00 am

  The first 36k were fine, after that nothing but problems. We have replaced the AC/Heat digital consol, timing belt, two head gasgets and the cigarette lighter in the past 6 months! The check engine light just came on two days after being serviced. The parts alone are outragously over-priced! It is hard to get to the problems that do exist because of the plastic coverings over everything under the hood. This car has been taken care of and serviced regularly.

  I still love this car - 1999 Cadillac Catera
  By PowerChick - February 24 - 2:00 am

  It is fun and comfortable to drive. In sport mode it has plenty of power. The leather seating and sound controls on the steering make this a wonder commute car.

  99 Catera - 1999 Cadillac Catera
  By rvhjr - January 2 - 2:00 am

  My 4th used Cadillac- first catera. We wanted a smaller car than the Sedan deVille. Excellent fit and finish and fun to drive. Great stereo although I havent completely figured out how to use it. 27,000 miles and almost 4 years old when I bought it. We will put 60,000 on it in 4 years and then trade.

  Other than a few maintenance problems which the dealer pleasantly took care of it has been a great car. Most Cadillacs look like tanks and this one has some style to it.

  Value, sport, comfort!! - 1999 Cadillac Catera
  By THall - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I found a gem 99 Caterra and I have loved everyday with it. Due to the mixed reviews I bought an extended warranty and have not needed it. Anyway, this car kicks. Mine has the Bose system, moonroof, etc. German entry level luxury at half the price of a 325 or Audi its not rocket science to see what a bargain this vehcile is. Get the service manual on ebay and do most of the work yourself. Just did the front disk and rotors and it was a snap and less than half what the dealer wanted. Just take of it and it will take care of you.

  Competitors have problem cars too.... - 1999 Cadillac Catera
  By laclas - November 11 - 2:00 am

  Yes, MB "S" w/engine lights that wont go off, brakes at 10K. BMWs w/bad climate ctrl sys, recalls. Forget Lexus & Infinity with the "smoke & mirror" advertising. Catera = excel car w/VALUE. In 3 yr. my Sport has performed flawlessly. Fit/finish, excellent. At 53k miles its tighter then the 5 series that I traded with 32k on it. The Catera has excellent traction control sys, trans, climate control, intr comfort & storage (w/folding rear seat). Ive tried 3 diff. dlrs while traveling. Great! I wish the CTS matched Cateras intr. fit/finish, comfort, & quality. The Catera includes "fine points" you dont find on Amer, Japanese, & newer German cars.

  PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY - 1999 Cadillac Catera
  By TSharpe - August 20 - 2:00 am

  I purchased a 1999 Cadillac Catera in June, 2001. To date, it has been in the shop at least eight (8) times. The transmission light stays on (though Cadillac can never figure out why), the radiator light comes and goes, the radiator has gone bad twice, the check engine light stays on (again, though Cadillac cannot figure out why), the tires go bad quickly and the front end alignment is always out of whack. Please, dont waste your money. I paid 20,000 and it is not only worth $10,000 on a trade.
