Cadillac CTS (2005 - 2007) 2.8 V6 Sports Luxury 4d Auto (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Lack of after-sales support. Plastic dashboard top. 17" polished rims (I think the car would have looked better with 18" or 19"). Less space in the glove compartment but otherwise the car is EXCELLENT, 8/10.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it was an amazing deal. And the looks are like a Strealth fighter parked on the street. So many times I have been stopped and asked by the by-passers what make/model is this.

Would you buy this car again and why?

It has a style, grace while on the road and a shape different from most of the cars on UK streets.

What are you likely to buy next?

I have just test drive a Cadillac CTS-v 6.2l V8 so either that or a Cadillac STS 3.6 V8.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. The car had only 30k full service history, one previous owner and I got it for £6k. It has got all the gadgets which a preowned newer models of BMW, Merc year would have but only half the price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I am an American-car lover. This car fulfilled all my needs. It has all the gadgets a car (of that age) can have and it had less demand in the UK so I got a very good deal with a very low milage. It was infact one of the best car I have ever driven.

What was the dealer like?

It comes with SatNav, DVD players, TV, 8 Bose-Premium 240W. It can do 0-62 miles in roughly 7 seconds. Leather seats and wood trim on the steering wheel and door handles.

What's it like to drive?

Whisper quiet inside the cabin but due to stiff suspension, you can feel the road bumps.

What's it like to park?

Parks better than BMW3 or Merc class E.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing

What's most practical about your car?

3-point turn, the car is bigger than its competitors but it turns in the street (3-point turn) like a Honda Civic.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

240W 8 Bose-Premium speakers with 6 CD changer in the front dashboard (don't have to open glove compartment or boot to access CD-changer.
