Catera Solid Car

I've had my Catera for almost 5 years and it's been a great car. I really like the styling and it's fun to drive. It does surprisingly well in snow and ice considering it is RWD. I've had to put some money into repairing the traction control, battery cables, and oil level sensors - but that was all under warranty. All in all, this car has been very reliable.

A very good first car

I have been driving the car the past 6 months and it has been trouble free. Power is just right(7.1 sec for 0-60 is fine for me), and i personally like the interior and the exterior. My only complaints would be leg room for everyone in the car(im 6 3 and im VERY cramped), and that premium gas is recomended even though i cant figure out why. Other then this the car makes a great first car and college car. I would not however recomend it to an adult since it does not live up to the cadillac name and makes you wishing for more. Just hope you find a good one.

Couldn't have made a better choice.

I bought My 2001 catera used with 42,000 miles on it, it's just like new! I made an excellent used car choice.

good before 100000miles

it looks good and everything is just perfect,but just aske yourself why its doesn't cost so much, this car loose value so fast, so if you looking for something to keep forever buy it but keep money in saving for repaire once it get 100000mile it's good for trash, but if you need something to trade later on wrong way i am talking from experience, girl will come with because it look good

Best car ever

The caddie is the god of all cars and always will be! It's inside is the best by all and the style is just so sleak and sweet. It has everything a person would want. Not a kids car (teens) LOL

Get more for your money

Great value for a used car made in Germany! I would not get any satisfaction from a car, thinking just about "economy", if there is no JOY driving it or looking at it. I love the look!

Master tech

Very peppy, stylish, sturdy and great handling! I felt very safe and protcted with this vehicle. Unlike most new cars, it is built with real steel! The interior is beautiful and very luxerious. I believe the German engineering and design has done well with this Cadillac.
