Europian "crap-ollac" - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By scott - July 8 - 3:25 pmI have had nothing but problems with my car. I bought it used from a dealership for way too much. I didnt look at any consumer reviews before hand. I thought - "Its a Cadillac, of course its nice!" Well, I couldnt have been more wrong. From the lot I had nothing but troubles with the car. I bought it with 38,000 in 2007, and now it rests, with a blown engine, in my drive way with 60,000 miles on it. Those were very expensive 22,000 miles! I am thankful though that this model wasnt an American made car. Come on gm! Do not buy this car!

Bad apples of the Cadillac. - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By Miriam - April 23 - 8:32 pmRepaired 3 times check Engine never goes away. Inside Engine material is plastic imagine! on a 260 degree Hot Engine. that is why it constant need repair. This car should had been a recall. It stop in the middle of the road without warning. Dont bother to call GM they wont help you, this has been put under the carpet rather then recall. (IS Cheaper).

Cadillacs Worst Car - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By anonymous - August 14 - 3:21 pmThis car is terrible. The one good thing I got out of it was that I could warn other people like you to NOT buy this car. Ive had problem after problem with this car. It is always at the mechanic. Seemed like a good buy, but I spent so much more money repairing it. Some of the problems I had were my door falling apart, power windows stopped working, my ABS and traction control stopped working, and my speedomotor hasnt worked in months. My car randomly broke down once on my way to work too. This car is a PIECE. DO NOT buy one. Cadillac made a terrible car, I would never want anyone to have the problems I had with this car. It might look cute and nice on the outside, but it is terribly made.

An Absolute WASTE Of Money! - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By Allison - March 22 - 10:17 pmI havent even had this car for a month and its already been in the shop three different times! Problems with the engine, mass air flow sensor, gaskets, and electrical problems. The first week I had it, ran great. Now the radio and heated seats quit working. And to top it all off, the sunroof automatically opens at random times and will not close! I thought cadillacs were nice reliable luxery vehicles???? Dont let the looks fool you!

Run Farrrr Away From Catera - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By yaki - March 13 - 5:40 pmthe car runs perfectly when ur not spending thousands of dollars on it. worst cadillac ever built.check engine light always on.most users complain about cosmetic faults like door knob and all but let me tell you all the issues you will have with this cadi. catalytic converters,mass air flow sensor,o2 sensors,camshaft postion sensor,secondary air solenoid,crank sensor,air injection pump,modulator. once you fix all of those,a few thousand dollars after,you are good to go for a month or so till they all go bad again. trust me on this,the car is beautiful,lovely interior and sound system but there is something bout the engineering that just makes all those things go bad

read before you buy - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By david hause - February 11 - 9:24 pmwell when we first looked at this car we thought...wow. We found a car that looks and drives like a dream for the right price...we were right but soon after we drove it hope the electric in this car went wacky, the headlight went out..$25. Then the brake lights stop working as well as the sunroof, cruise control and other small things

Do not buy one - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By Crapola - November 10 - 7:38 amWhat a piece of junk! I took a gamble and bought a 2000 Catera this past August. Traded it in this month ( November ). In the 3 months I owned it, I spent almost $1,000 in repairs. Transmission solonoid, oil gasket, emission valve, brake boost valve....countless others needed and advised by my mechanic to cut my losses and pawn it off, so I did. If anyone out there is looking at buying one of these, dont! The car may look nice and the price may be right, but just dont do it. Parts are very expensive, and these cars are a real pain to work on! It will be a choice you will soon regret, just like I did. I got next to nothing on trade in too, by the way! Cost me lots of money in the end!

Not a real Cadillac - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By dcv - August 22 - 9:15 amThe car drives like a dream, however, the check engine light will not go off. No one can find the problem. The rear middle seat belt locks and cannot be used. The gas mileage is horrible. A new fuel pump at 70K cost me $917. If you try to run anything except premium fuel, you will find yourself in a world of hurt. My advice is to buy a real Cadillac (Deville, for example). Better mileage, better service. Cadillac needs to stand behind this product and make it right. I sure wish I had bought a Deville!

My first Cadillac - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By MY FIRST CADILLAC - August 14 - 12:43 pmThis car has been a dream to have. I have been through a lot of cars but this car takes the cake. I get a lot of offers from people to buy my car. it handles the road great. Its a eye catcher for sure. Ive never seen a Catera like mine. Before purchasing this car Catera was the last thing on my mind to drive. When the salesman showed me the car and I test drove it I was in heaven. It have 62,000 miles on it in April of 2008 which sweetens the whole deal. Authentic Cadillac rag top. Maroon with 17" chrome Cadillac rims. Sunroof with OnStar. The only thing this car lacks is a spoiler they but if you ask me i think the spoiler lacks the car. Im forever committed to Cadillacs. CTS-V HERE I COME!

problem after problem - 2000 Cadillac Catera
By Charles Fields - July 4 - 12:57 pmCadillac should be sued for making a piece of crap like this. I own a 2000 catera, and it stalls out at random. The rpm dont go above 1 when idling. My fuel cap censor is going haywire, my check engine censor is on the fritz as well. If Cadillac is going to keep making vehicles like this, then they need to go back to square 1 at the drawing board. Its my first car and I thought it was nice. It was nice for the fist 6 months, now its been sitting in my driveway for the last 7 months.
