2008 Cadillac CTS

Great interior finally

Written by: sammc123 on Jan 22, 2007 05:49 PM

Finally! I Cadillac interior that is actually interesting and sophisticated. I'm sorry but Cadillac interiors haven't been anything for quite some time. Too much hard, cheap plastics, poor built quiality, very uninspired desings...I could go on and on. Check out the interior of a 2000 Deville, it's horrible. My friend has a 2005 CTS and the interior is HORRIBLE, ... Read More...

New CTS thoughts

Written by: sevenfeet0 on Jan 13, 2007 07:23 AM

As some of you know, I used to own a 2003 CTS LuxSport before trading it for the 2005 SRX I own now. (kids happen). I've waited to let the pictures, comments and press releases digest before I chimed in. So here goes. Exterior: The previous car was pretty radical...very in your face. You either liked it or you didn't and Cadillac stuck its neck out on the line that it ... Read More...

Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Tires and Wheels

Purchasing Aftermarket Wheels- Mistake?

Written by: ray35 on Dec 26, 2006 00:02 PM

I was the proud driver of a 2005 Cadillac CTS with a 3.6 V6. When I was at the the dealer, Cadillac of Whittier, buying the car I saw these beautiful MHT wheels on the showroom floor that were outstanding. They were MHT Neeper Rise in 20 X 8.5 inch size. I bargained the price which was a hefty $4,000 including Nitto Z rated tires, down to $2,000. They agreed and I bought ... Read More...

Cadillac CTS/CTS-V: Brake Issues

Au Contraire richw5. The tires on my CTS had arrows showing the direction in which the treads should run. In my book that means they are "directional tires" I am not sure what it means in your book. As far as the recall on the tires, I never stated that it was a Cadillac recall, I just stated that there was a recall and that a Cadillac Service Center replaced the 4 tires. Read More...

The CTS does not have "directional tires". Someone must be pulling your leg. I have an 03 CTS and had the tires replaced at 18K miles due to a "Goodyear" recall. It was not a Cadillac recall, Cadillac just handled the recall for Goodyear. Currently my CTS has 32K miles on the replacement tires and the tread looks good for at least another 20K. The Goodyear tires on ... Read More...

I am surprised that you are talking about the roaring. I have an '05 CTS with 26,000 miles. At this point, I have not had any repair problems but it is early yet. At 15,000 miles, my tires were cupped and roaring. I am replacing them the next week. I am going to try the recommended rotation every 5,000 and the alignment every 15,000 and see if the second run is better. ... Read More...

I have a 2003 CTS and there was a recall on the tires back in 2004. I had a Cadillac Service Department replace all 4 tires and they were all put on backwards! I just found this out, 2 years later! Although I know my gas mileage was affected, does anyone know what else this may have affected. It didn't seem to wear the tires down sooner but I am sure that having directional ... Read More...

Rocky, we all know you are one big domestic (especially GM) lover but this is getting outrageous. Cadillac dominates the Luxury SUV market by a landslide, that's not being competitive ? Caddy total truck sales: 2004: 92269 2005: 74143 BMW total truck sales: 2004: 69829 2005: 68367 Lexus total truck sales: 2004: 151797 2005: 151669 If by that you meant Caddy dominates ... Read More...
