Good car
This car is a great car when it comes to reliability it has never stalled on me and once I fixed the minor problem like AC and back window being stuck it has been great. I used synthetic oil on this car and the super gasoline and the car performs like a sports car. This was a great first car. As long as you treat this car like- Purchased a Used car

Junk When New, Junkier Now
Where to start? I bought this car four years ago with 88k on it because I had no other choice at the time and needed a bigger sedan. But when this year is over, I'm donating this disaster and buying something brand new. That's right, donating. This car is worth less than the socks I'm wearing right now, and I have a hole in- Purchased a Used car

Could have been great if it wasn't problematic
This car would be great if it didn't have stuff breaking all the time. My 1999 Catera has features that some 2009 cars don't even have yet. Seats are very comfortable, the Bose system is great, the ride is above decent, and theres a snow mode and traction control that make this a decent drive in the snow for a RWD. Now the- Purchased a Used car

Cold in Michigan
This is the worst car I have ever owned at this writing it has no heat and it's about 21 degrees. I have had it with this car, heated seats don't work, sunroof will not open, stiring wheel whopples, cruise control NOT working, plastic cheap cup holder just snapped off, I can't even get a mechanic to work on it, they tell me- Purchased a Used car

Absolute Junk
My wife and I needed another four-door car in a hurry to accomodate our soon-to-arrive son, and we bought this for a few thousand from a family member. We should have been more patient. This car is a turkey. The gas mileage is awful for a car with such a meager engine... we average about 17 mpg in suburban driving... my big- Purchased a Used car

Luxury That You Wont Want To Give Up
A great and luxurious vehicle. I owned this vehicle after my brother sold it to me. He spent about two thousand dollars in repair. After I purchased it from him it was having computer problems. I spent over a thousand dollars and it was great. It has expensive parts. But, it is a great car when it is not having anys issues.- Purchased a Used car

The Least Reliable Car I have ever owned.
This car is either being repaired or is on its way to be repaired. It is utterly hopeless on reliability (I gave it a one because zero was not a choice) and is constantly plagued with internittent electrical and computer problems as well as major mechanical issues. Each part is apparently hand crafted in a Tibetan monastery- Purchased a Used car

LEAST RELIABLE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED
CAR STAYED IN THE SHOP MORE DAYS OF THE MONTHS THAN I ACTUALLY COULD RIDE IN IT; TECHNICANS AT THE CADALLIAC DEALERSHIP COULD NOT KEEP IT RUNNING. SPENT OVER $10,000 IN REPAIRS IN ALONG, NEXT YEAR OVER $8,000-- COULD ONLY AFFORD THESE REPAIRS BECAUSE I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. GET THE WARRANTY! HAD TO FINALLY GET RID OF- Purchased a Used car

One of the best handeling cars I've owned!
I first spoted the Catera in a dealership I didn't know what it even was untill I saw it from the front and I spoted the cadillac crest on the grill as soon as sat in the driver seat I was in love, the leather was the best leather I had ever seen in a cadillac and most american cars after I took it for a test drive I knew it- Purchased a Used car
