My Caddy

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I have enjoyed every minute of driving my Caddy. I took it to Pennsylvania last week and it handles the road beautifully. I am completely satisfied. Other perople come to me and ask me about its performance. Others that own a CTS come and tell me how much they enjoying owning this car. This is a beautiful car. I am just thrilled that I have it. My friends like riding in it too.

Favorite Features

My absolute favorite feature of the car is the heated seats. I really enjoy having this feature in my car. I don't have to worry about being cold again.

Suggested Improvements

The only suggestion that I have is the outside mirrors should go in automatically. When you park the car, you have to turn the mirrors in yourself and I sometimes forget. I do not like leaving them in place when I park.

Review

I looked long and hard for a new ride. We test drove a Toyota Avalon, Infiniti, and Ford 500. I went to this Cadillac because of the exterior styling and a little improvement in fuel economy over my Tahoe Z71. We love the performance; I've also owned a Corvette and the ride and handling of the CTS are comparable and in some respects better given that the Vet blows you away with power. But I always wanted a powerful, comfortable family car that had some style and looks like I found it. The interior is roomy enough for the men in my family, all of them over 6 feet and 200+ lbs. But is quick and agile for me by myself.

Favorite Features

The comfort, handling, styling, color (stealth-gray) more like blue-grey, and improved fuel economy. It turns heads and my twentish daughter even approved and told our other daughter, that "No, Mom did not buy a Grandma car".

Suggested Improvements

It needs a compass in the computer display or in the rearview mirror. No car today should be without a direction finder, especially one that costs between $30,000 and $40,000.

Before the Change

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This car is the perfect size and fit for tall drivers and suits smaller drivers as well. When the change comes in 2008, may the same be said about the space.

Favorite Features

The transmission choice.

Suggested Improvements

Although it has traction control, all wheel drive is all that's missing.

I Love My CTS

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I love my CTS. I bought the 3.6L with a 5 speed automatic transmission. The car is so good looking and gets many stares because of its polarizing looks. It is suprisingly roomy and comfortable. As for the performance the V6 has plenty of power, however I now wish that I got it with a 6 speed manual because with the automatic (even with manumatic) it does not feel sporty enough. The leather is top notch and is softer than new BMWs and Mercedes I have been in. Cadillac has almost hit a homerun with this car, it only needs richer plastics in the cabin (mainly on the console). This car is a great value too, much cheaper with more options compared to BMW 3- and 5-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus IS, and Audi A4.

Favorite Features

The exterior styling, leather quality, XM radio, heated seats (they get hot, and fast), back seat room, V6 power, rear drive performance, and great value.

Suggested Improvements

It should have better quality plastics in the interior, the door panels are a little flimsy, it needs AWD, and the manumatic does not drive like a stick,

Great Car!

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I purchased a '06 Cadillac CTS for my mother a couple of weeks ago. I drove the car 135 miles to drop it off with her, and by the time I got to her house I wanted to keep it myself. This car is the best driving car I have ever driven! The features were excepional and the look is out of this world. My mother was so happy that she cried for an hour. What a great car!

Favorite Features

The XM radio and OnStar were great features.

Suggested Improvements

It needs to have better gas milage, I only got around 26 mpg on the highway.

All in All a Great Choice!

Review

I have owned many cars in my life and I must say this is the nicest. I bought my CTS for the Caddy logo and style. I have owned it 2 weeks and it lives up to all my expectations. The dealership was professional and efficient. They certainly performed up to the Cadillac standard of excellence. So does the CTS. The car has great standard features and great appointments. The fits and trims are every bit as exacting as the foreign competition. The OnStar and XM radio are a great addition. This car makes my long commute enjoyable!

Favorite Features

The suspension, engine, and radio.

Suggested Improvements

I am 6'4" and would like an inch more of leg room and headroom. The gas mileage could be a bit better for a 2.8 V6. I'm getting about 21 MPG city/highway. Who cares, it's a Caddy!

Amazing Vehicle

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The 2006 Cadillac CTS has great handling and is fun to drive. My CTS has been an amazing vehicle since day one. The big V6 engine, great sport tunned suspension, and top notch braking make this a great vehicle. Not to be left out what drew me to this car in the first place, the CTS' styling is unmistakble. Even a few years out of the stables it's still going strong and gets looks everywhere I go.

Favorite Features

The big V6 engine, handling, ride quality, and styling.

Suggested Improvements

Add a locking gas cap, ventilated seats, and standard xenon lights.

Review

I've only had this car for 2 months. I has been quite an enjoyable experience driving it. I usually drive it when I'm making trips for the weekend or on vacations. It has great acceleration and a very stylish apperance. I really like the Bose stereo system. Last but not least, the gas mileage is really good.

Favorite Features

OnStar, stereo system,and the interior.

Did I just buy a Cadillac?

Vehicle

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I looked at everything else in this class (BMW, Mercedes, Acura, and Audi) and when it was all said and done the CTS was the only way to go. I still can't believe I actually bought a Cadillac but it has exceeded all our expectations.

Favorite Features

The handling, power, and comfort.

Suggested Improvements

The base stereo system is weak.

Review

The Cadillac CTS is smooth like butter, quick, aigile, good on fuel and looks good.

Favorite Features

OnStar, the phone in the car, the color, seats, cornering and handling.

Suggested Improvements

Navigation and premium sound should be standard. Does this car comes in all wheel drive? It also needs a telescopic steering wheel and interior lights that go on when the door handle is used.
