2003 Loaded CTS

This was my second car to own, the first being a Mercedes SLK32 AMG and I loved the CTS just as much as the two door sports car. I have driven many different Cadillacs and luxury cars in my day and have to say that for the money the CTS is the best one out there. I loved my CTS and was heart-broken when a driver ran a red light and t-boned my car and myself, but like any Cadillac owner I keep it in the family and am now looking for a 2008 CTS or 2008 xxx, I wish I could wait until 2009 and get the CTS-V Overall the CTS is a wonderful car outside and in, the only drawback I had was I did not get the navigation and that made the center console look unappealing but other than that the CTS is a must

First Luxury Vehicle

In the past i had always had basic automobiles, nothing to brag about. this is my first vehicle that i am always proud to show off. I love the way that the car looks and drives! it is very smooth, but has good power to get you where you are going. although i perfer the CTS-V model for the more sporty look and power, it was out of my price range.i have always owned chevy/gm products and i have always been dissapointed in the interior. although the cts is significantly better than the other vehicles that i have owned as far as the interior is concerned, it still has some creaks and squeeks, typical for the american cars. but overall, it is a fabulous vehicle for the price, and have never had any major issues.

Best handling sport sedan I've tried

This car is a dream to drive, sufficient power to complement the superior handling through sharp cornering on twisty mountain roads. Luxurious enough to have the Cadillac nameplate. Two big thumbs up to GM for it's edgy styling and sport sedan handling. More power is on tap for 2004 but this engine is quick enough for me.

2003 CTS

The CTS has been the best new car I have driven. The appearance is an eye-stopper and I always receive rave reviews from everyone. The sporty handling and acceleration are a plus, particularly with the 5 speed stick. Although the 2003 CTS was limited to the 3.2 engine, I look forward to getting a new 2007 CTS 3.6. when they arrive.
