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.

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

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.

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.

Review
I love my Cadillac CTS. I have owned a Seville in the past and though this car is smaller I prefer to drive it more. It has speed and great pick up. It has a quiet ride and looks good.
Favorite Features
Its great looks and driving ease.
Suggested Improvements
All models should have power and heated seats.

The styling of my 2006 Cadillac CTS is great and very popular. Its ride is smooth and it corners well. I have some concerns about its winter performance with the real-wheel drive, but the jury is still out.
Favorite Features

Offer an All-Wheel drive model / option.

My Cadillac CTS 3.6L is really fun to drive. It handles awesome, it's one of the nicest looking cars on the road, and the performance is top notch. The voice activated features seem unnecessary, but are fun to use. The memory seating is also really nice.

2006 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl 6M)
Review
Why does anyone spend big money for pseudo Japanese products (Acura, Toyota Avalon, Toyota Camry) when you can drive a Caddy for the same money or less? The Cadillac CTS has an excellent ride and handling, comfort, firm suspension and class. GM deserves a lot more credit and customers than they are getting. The CTS is a winner and I sell Audis and Porsches for a living! The German cars are still the standard for safety, performance, and handling but for trouble-free affordable daily driving, I'll take the Caddy anytime.
Favorite Features
The style, ride, OnStar, and comfortable controlled ride.
Suggested Improvements
The navigation / radio controls could be more intuitive. An all-wheel drive option would be nice.

Review
I loved the 2006 Cadillac CTS from the day I took delivery of it, but this past Sunday I loved it even more. My son and I were in a major accident and this car saved our lives. I slid on ice and hit a pole on my drivers side door with the pole falling down on top of the car. It bent the car in half, blew out most of the windows and smashed the roof. The impact of the pole was by my pelvis and legs. To my amazment my son and I did not have a scratch. The side curtian airbags deployed as did the airbag in the seat. This saved me from any trauma. The pole hit the drivers side window smashing it, when the side curtain airbag deployed it was between my head the glass and the pole. My family thanks you GM.
Favorite Features
The airbags.
