"Bought the car with 39k runs great had some codes pop up after the first thousand miles had the fuel filter changed has not came back yet. The pins that hold the bottom of the back bumper had all 3 fell out had to replace the. The ergonomics of the shifter position and cup holders are not exactly proper. But great car so far and comfy for our family of four. It does great in the snow with snow tires on and we have made it through a Wyoming winter."

"I've been driving a CTS on loan for about 5 months. I've always liked the way the CTS looks and its performance far outweighs design! I have not had any mechanical problems what-so-ever! Never heard a rattle or any kind of noise. The most I've done with this car is have the tires and oil changed. Besides the price of the synthetic oil this car is amazing! It has great "get up" and is very stylish. I do have to say replacements parts can be VERY pricey. The CTS I currently drive needs a taillight cover replaced and that was upwards of $500. I love this car so much I am looking to buy my own, no doubt!!"

"This is such a great overall car, makes me proud to drive American. I grew up driving German cars but was looking for something less expensive to maintain. This car handles great and is a lot peppier with the higher octane gas. I recommend getting the larger displacement engine which I don't have. I am very happy with the car and look forward to buying a newer model someday, although I prefer this body style."

"This is the first luxury vehicle I owned and its a great car. The owner before me customized it so it stands out from the basic model. I've constantly being complimented on how nice my car is whenever I am out and about. With this car it's important to use high grade gasoline and oil when getting an oil change. Like most cars, if you take car of it, it will take care of you by being reliable in return."

"We purchased this vehicle to replace a V8 Olds Aurora - which was more for choice than any other reason. The CTS has won our hearts over many times in all areas. The creature features excel, the ride is great and the performance runs away even from the V8 Aurora. Gas mileage tops 28 mpg even over long distances at 70 mph. We only wish we could afford the CTS-V, and maybe for our next car we will! Highly recommend this car to people who want luxury, comfort and high performance."

"This is the best car I have ever owned. I scored it average in comfort and good in interior design only because I am a larger than average size man, and this is a slightly compact car. I bought it used for a good price with 92K miles and have not experienced any reliability issues at all. The fact that it has so many miles on it and still performs at such a high level is impressive. It does consume oil, but not as much as some exaggerate and I expected it with a high compression engine (3.6 L V-6). About a quart once a month for me. It performs well in hazardous weather and I personally did not lose control over the vehicle this winter, despite the snow and ice storms here in South Jersey. Just press the winter weather button near the gear shifter and go. I have averaged about 22 miles a gallon, but closer to 28 while on longer highway trips. No need to press the performance button near the shifter as this car has plenty of power without the added fuel consumption. She will fly when you want her too!"

"Bought my Cadillac CTS-V new in 2005. I bought it becasue I wanted a Cadillac so I got one. I loved it. I had no problems with it. The only thing that I did no like was the cost of the front brake pads. So I traded it in for a 2008 Chevy Malibu LTZ. I would recommend this car to anyone."
