2007 Cadillac CTS Sport 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

First Cadillac I've ever owned - picked it over an Infiniti M35 due to dealer location. Sport model with 18" wheels, limited chrome and spoiler definitely turns heads. For the most part it performs up to its looks which is pretty decent considering its weight and 255 HP. Interior is much improved in the 2008 but very plasticky in the 2007. (Not up to previously owned BMW 740i, Mercedes SL, Jag XK or even Chrysler LHS). Ride is stiff but not uncomfortable; handling very good; braking powerful. Standard 18" summer sport tires abysmal in fall/winter which led to all-season replacement after 4000 miles (at my expense). Overall mileage of 19.2. Next vehicle? Accura or Lexus mid-size SUV.

Favorite Features

Awesome optional BOSE + XM radio Nimble handling Overall performance

Suggested Improvements

Interior quality Trunk closer

Review

I haven't had a very good experience with my CTS, I have had major repairs and the car is only 1 yr and 5 months. I love the look of the car and the features, But would like to try another CTS because I think I ended up with a defective model.

Favorite Features

My favorite features is the onstar service and also XM radio i love it I can't live without it.

Suggested Improvements

The Cadillac CTS should include heated seats,automatic key entry and it would be nice if the engine was quiet.

CTS v. BMW 328i

2007 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I've had this car for about six months now and I love it even more than I did on day one. It's my second car in the entry luxury market, with my first being the '98 328i. I know how much I really love this car because all I want to do is "dress her up" and take her out on the town. My only complaints are related to comfort and interior design. After about one hour in this car I want stop and fix the pain in my back, no matter how I adjust the seats. Our 2002 Camry XLE seating and interior features are superior to the Cadillac which is a shame. We'll never use this car for road trips. This car was a poor choice with two young kids in the back seat. In so many ways, it reminds me of the 328

Favorite Features

Body. Even while driving in this car, my head turns everytime I see another CTS on the road. She (Thunder Gray) is very responsive, and nimble...but not as nimble as the bimmer.

Suggested Improvements

Interior styling, comfort, rear seating space and entertainment features.

Review

My family has a long story with Cadillacs. I remember the 1st Seville, and I remmeber how much I loved it. Now I'm in love all over again. This car is fast, agile and a huge improvement over the Caddies of the past. It's so good to see thant GM has finally seen the light. My only regret, I should have waited couple months for the '08, but what the heck, I'm in love!

Favorite Features

The exterior design, but the front grille could have been nicer

Suggested Improvements

None major

Review

Quality and and reliability are above expectations. No problems to report to date, with heavy freeway miles.

Favorite Features

Memory functions, easy NAV system.

Suggested Improvements

Really need to make cooled, ventilated seats standard. IPOD or MP3 port should also be available.

Noise- Not quiet ride inside

2007 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I really enjoy the sporting look and feel of the car as it is very responsive with an excellent turning radius. However, the interior noise is annoying at speeds around 42-47 miles per hour you will hear a slight humming noise. I am going back for the second timeime to have this looked at. I am not happy about the noise level with the inside cabin ride. Just not up to standards of Cadillac.

Favorite Features

Love the handling around turns and corners. XM Radio and 6 disc CD changer is nice.

Suggested Improvements

Interior noise level. Not a very quiet ride for the money spent. Not up to Cadillac standards.

Thunder Gray

2007 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Great car shows Cadillac understands how to put together great product. Exclellent styling, edgy, unique and attractive. On a cost basis, performance exceeds competitors, and seems a better value. Love the evolution to the '08 as well. Cannot wait to see the new CTS in Thunder Gray with in a coupe next year (maybe GM will do rumored convertible). If so, I may have to trade mine in on a new one.

Favorite Features

Great acceleration, excllent stereo system, exterior styling

Suggested Improvements

Not thrilled about standard grille and no need for the smaller (2.8L) powr plant. New grille and discontinuing 2.8L on '08 show Cadillac listens to customers and understands market for vehicle.

Great Road handling

2007 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This car hugs the road like it's on rails. Amazing performance for a luxury car. Good power, firm yet comfortable ride. Superb Bose radio, XM and OnStar. Refined interior, sleek exterior.

Favorite Features

Road handling, OnStar, XM radio, Bose speakers. Nice touch including note pad and Cadillac pen in owner's manual.

Suggested Improvements

Trunk extremely difficult to close. Must slam. Trunk lid should be automated. Radio buttons on steering wheel are easily activated by mistake. Small trunk for a car this size. Could use more headroom. Could use driver and passenger handles above doors.

Not as Good as It looks!

Review

This vehicle drives well, but does not reach the EPA mileage. Has the larger engine (not the V-8) and performs well. Noisy inside on rough roads - the combo of shocks, suspension and body results in some annoying reverberation over bumps. There was no plan for the back seat passenger AC - on a par with the cheapest Chevy on the lot. If you want the back seat cooled, you have to run the AC fans on high and freeze out the front seat. Trunk does not have the closer system - it needs a big slam to shut!

Favorite Features

Nice touches inside, nice radio/sound system. Nice road handling too.

Suggested Improvements

The console tunnel could have had an air duct for the back seat, but doesn't. Back seat passengers are treated to 1950's style creature comfort. The trunk could have had a closer!
