  • This Car is Junk - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    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

    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!

  • Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2001 Cadillac Catera

    This car is the perfect vehicle for my wife and I. We are both senior citizens and are retired. Driving it gives us a sense comfort that no other vehicle has given us. Its truly a fun car to drive and has lots of pep.

  • My first Cadillac - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    Well I just bought this car and so far so good. I love the color, the ammenities and everything that Cadillac is legendary for. I am having some issues, the front end shimmies and one of my fog lights have blown out. The dealership is fixing it, even though they do not have Saturday hours.

    Great Car, comfortable ride, pleasure to drive during trips. It really has the Zip Cadillac used in their marketing. Too bad after all the fine-tuning they did and then discontinued the model.

  • Catera is simply an Opel Omega MV6. - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    The Cadillac Catera is an export version of the Opel Omega MV6. All U.S. Cateras were built in Germany in Russelsheim near Frankfurt/Main. Opel, the German auto manufacturer is owned by GM. Its shame that Opels arent sold here, in the U.S. since GM owns the company. Well, at least I have the chance to drive my OPEL OMEGA (Catera).

  • Devil Vehicle - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    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.

  • Overall an Enjoyable Car - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    Ive had my 01 Catera since purchasing it new in 9/01. I traded a 97 Catera that had developed several problems a local Cadillac dealer did not satisfactorily repair. I changed dealers and bought the 01, and basically have been satisfied during my 26 months of ownership and 26K miles. There have been a few minor problems, but the dealer has taken care of them and treated me well.

  • Better then Hyundia - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    Traded it from a Elantra for a bigger family car. The key already broke and the battery already died. The cheap Korean car didnt have those problems.

  • Great car... very under-rated! - 2001 Cadillac Catera
    By -

    The person who posted on 4/13/03 must be nuts or probably drove the car into the ground. Giving it "4"s on the interior and exterior design--whyd you buy it? I recently purchased mine used and found it to be a GREAT buy. Orignally 36K and got it for $18K with only 9000 miles. Runs great, rides great, has a ton of features I didnt expect and never had a problem but then again I respect and take care of my vehicles.
