Great American car

Review

The Cadillac CTS drives and handles great. I have a lot of confidence in it. I have the performance package with a chrome tip exhaust, 18 inch wheels, and a spoiler in red. The car turns heads.

Favorite Features

The looks and handling.

Suggested Improvements

Give it a V8 automatic.

Review

I test drove a Mercedes C230, Ford 500, Ford Fusion and Buick LaCrosse and the Cadillac CTS was head and heels above them. I could tell I was in a different breed of car when I left the lot.

Favorite Features

I like the cockpit styling and feel of the ride. It rides heavy and is sure footed.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the sound system for the base model and the styling of the interior door panels.

My Car

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

Review

I couldn't ask for a better car for a 24 years old. This car is fun to drive, handles like a dream, and rides like it's on air. Plus everywhere I go It's turning heads. The car has a sleek agressive look and the interior is flawless with everything easy to reach but still open enough for a real roomy feel. The 2.8 V6 is very impressive sometimes I forget that there is only 210 horses under the hood.

Favorite Features

My list of favorite features include standard XM radio and OnStar, head curtian and side impact airbags, and automatic climate control

Suggested Improvements

Add a standard power passenger seat and rds radio. Also, directions and connections should be standard with OnStar.

Some weak spots

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

Review

The car is a pleasure to drive, it has lots of power. It has an excellent stereo system and XM is a nice addition which adds to the driving experience

Favorite Features

The very nice drivetrain with smooth acceleration.

Suggested Improvements

It needs better hardware on the trunk and a more practicle interior design such as in the now defunct Oldsmobile Intrigue line.

Rocks My World

Review

I have a CTS 3.6 Sport Appearance with the 18" wheels/Luxury Pkg/automatic. After having tested several models in this class and higher I think I have the most striking and best of the bunch. It is comfortable, has great pick up when I need it, and is great for longer trips. Its maneuverability is great, it turns on a dime. I enjoy all of the little toys inside.

Favorite Features

The driver recognition memory options, ride, maneuverability, XM / OnStar phone, basically everything.

Suggested Improvements

I could not get the navigation with the 18" wheels, which is ashame because I wanted my car to have ALL the bells & whistles.

An American Car Makes the Grade!

Vehicle

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

Review

For years I have driven foreign luxury cars because American car companies did not build the car I wanted to drive. The CTS is finally an American car that has a place in my garage. The CTS is very comfortable, quiet, just the right size, has unique styling, and I am averaging 29 mpg on the highway. The construction of the car is very solid and the Cadilac Division of GM has done a remarkable job in following up to make sure I am 100% satisfied with the CTS.

Favorite Features

Steering wheel controls, XM radio, OnStar, driver information center, steering, and braking.

Suggested Improvements

A CVT transmission which would optimize fuel economy.

GM's CTS hits a homerun

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

Review

I took delivery of this car a month ago and I'm impressed. Stylish, modern, and powerful. My friend's BMW 325 has nothing on my CTS. If you want an entry-level luxury sedan, but don't want to be stuck with an ES 330 or a bulky Avalon, and don't want to pay BMW or Mercedes prices, this is the way to go. This car will take you from hip in South Beach to classic at your corporate headquaters and won't lose its cool. Way to go GM.

Favorite Features

XM radio, OnStar with hand-free phone system. Plenty of space for you, your friends, and all the luggage you can take on any trip.

Suggested Improvements

An option for darker tints would be nice.

The real deal

Review

Recently drove my CTS 3.6 from Monterey to Big Sur and back on the Pacific Coast Highway. I drove at the limit up and down the hills and hairpin curves never using the brakes - just the sport shift! It was as if the car was on rails! I own a Mercedes and have owned a VW and a BMW. It handles just as well these do - but is more comfortable. It glides in and out of traffic with terrifc acceleration and with smooth, effortless shifting. GM doesn't know how good a car they have. Interior could be a little sexier.

Favorite Features

Handling, comfort, acceleration, OnStar and XM radio.

Suggested Improvements

Spruce up the interior a little.

CTS Howls and Whines

Written by: Len Turi on 03/17/2006

Vehicle

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

Review

My CTS howls and whines at all speeds and RPMs. Cadillac states that this is 100% within its standards and is characteristic of the vehicle. This does not give me peace of mind that the car is operating safely.

Favorite Features

The exterior looks and color (Blackberry). Very easy to navigate in traffic.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the differential, engine, transmission pump and exhaust system to curtail the howling and whining noises.

GM gets it right

Vehicle

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

Review

I've have nothing but praise for this mid-size sedan. It handles flawlessly, it's extremely comfortable, and has all the options anyone can possibly want. The 2.8L engine is as fast, if not quicker off the line than my 2003 Bonneville. GM has a winner.

Favorite Features

Driver Information Center, OnStar, and XM radio.

Suggested Improvements

An AWD model, and interior refinements.
