Surprised at how little compartment space there is, not even the manual and other material supplied fit in the glove compartment and the center compartment (split in two) isn’t much good for anything after you’ve stored the headphones.

I have to love this car but I’m sure Cadillac could do better, could really do with the bluetooth and ipod connectivity (why is the front aux not on my model?). I also wish the 2 second turn indicator was actually a little more than 2 seconds.

I also agree with the recirculate comment - this is the first car I’ve owned that it doesn’t even work. This is basic stuff guys and I think a free fix is in order! There’s some pretty ugly smells I have to drive through here in Doha in the mornings and when I push that recirc button (when I’ve found it) I expect it to work.

While I’m having a moan, what is it with the hand brake release? I’ll accept it may be a safety feature to have it completely hidden from view but this is taking it a bit far.

Other than these issues, I feel great driving this vehicle, should come with wind visors as standard though. Overall, I’d give it a 4 out of 5, let the Japanese perfect it.

Pros: Looks and Handling
Cons: Can’t see driver info buttons when driving, hidden by steering wheel and turn signal stalk

Ordered mine in gold mist. Waited just long enough that the wood wheel and shift knob were finally available. It has the performance package, seating package, and luxury 1 package along with the polished 18″ wheels. Also got all the wood trim packages. This car has the FE 2 suspension and I opted for the 263 hp v6 and it is all I cold want in power and looks and ride. I traded in a 2005 CTS with the same engine, and these don’t even seem to be the same cars. The 2008 is that much better in it’s fit finish and so far quality. Turns heads every time we drive it. The old CTS looks like a malibu on the inside, and this one looks like a Caddy should. Especially love the adaptive lighting, and the accent lighting at night. Only real gripe I have is on my 2005 the homnelink garage door opener came with the luxury level 1 package, and on the new CTS you have to move up to the lucury level 2 package to get it. After adding the performance, seating and luxury 1 packages, I coldn’t just the levvel 2 just for the door opener. Still managed to keep my CTS to barely over $40,000

the 3.6 direct injection V6 outburn the pontiac G6 252 hp V6 ,the sunroof is uncomfortable

i had the pontiac G6 with the 252 HP V6 which is 2005 that i leased for three years from now. but i trade that in 2008 on january the 3rd for the cadillac CTS. it out perform the pontiac G6 like CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s even got more features hard drive radio system. in the pontiac G6 i didn’t had a sunroof but the CTS has twin sunroofs when it has a shade that shows sun inside the car than having a closed shade that shows no sun. but other than that it’s a great caddy.

good looking vehicle, get many comments,so far all is good.
So far everything is ok. although I have had a problem with the service rep at a dealership in ridg.
My one major complaint is the design of the center floor console.It”s absolutely useless !!! There is room for nothing.Another thing is the auto shift lever which is impossible to see what gear your in at night..I”m sure it was very cost effective for general motors to not install a light bulb..I have never owned a car with no light,,Have you ever noticed all the foreign cars come with a shift light ??????

Twice now I have sent in a request for a price quote online for a Cadillac CTS to a particular dealer..something I have done before successfully with several other cars..The dealer never bothered to answer either request..I suppose it’s the ole new car salesman jive: we can’t keep them in stock etc..Listen to me: they ain’t that good! So,I’ll just a another model of car..

Not Bad - better fuel economy with 1990,2002,1980
Price too high better t $34,500 inc onstar and tax

The cars too high-even with rebates dealers get rebate 3-6%. Cars shold be 7 years 100,000 miles warranty. Dealership labor $70.00 a hour too high. Nice looks -ride not that great.
I’ve owned 4 Cadillas including 1974. Best 1974 and 1980 for gas ride - looks dependability. SURPRISED

Its really slow and i got alot of honks in the city because its so slow, i had it towed many times beacsue the engine died

I had also driven the following: LEXUS, BMW, MERCEDES, & LINCOLN. By far, CADILLAC is way ahead of these automobiles as far as looks, handling, trunk space, and “gadgets.” This car is absolutely beautiful, and had GM made some noticeable changes, I would be ordering a 2008 CADILLAC DTS iii.

I am going to wait for the 2009’s, at which time, based on my current yearly mileage, my 2007 will have ap-
proximately 30K. I’ll keep this car and will order the 2009 in a different color.

Maybe by then GM will offer a color combination avail-
able ONLY on CADILLAC.

Very good fit and finish. Comfortable, quiet, roomy. Good handeling for size.
Needs a modern 6 speed auto transmision.

Under appreciated value, but depreciation is a detraction. GM seems to have gotten it right on this car. Attention to detail, overall quality, fit, and finish are all very good by any standard. The only technical short comming is the lack of a 6 speed transmision in this price range car. Overall, I prefer the front wheel drive, which is best for 99.99% of real world driving.

A word of advice. Stay clear of this car. Yes the used car price might be tempting BUT there is a reason why it is so cheap.

I will not list the numeours problems I have with this car, but will only mention the main ones:

1- Battery dies if car left not run for a week or so!

2- Wierd vibration when shifting into 4th gear!

3-Transmission lags. When shifing from N to D it takes longer than usual for the tranny to engage!

4-BAD fuel ecenomy AND LOW performance (272HP????)

and NO my car is not old. It is 2007 with 18 k miles on it.

It is a nice piece of machinary to cherish and KEEP in your garage but if you plan on driving it and using it regulalry, this may not be your best choice!

I was shocked that my problems with this car are actually SHARED by other owners of the same car. The intimate relshionship you will have with the dealer and the frequent visits you will make are probably Cadiallac’s way of saying WE LOVE YOU and we hate NOT to see you every couple of months.

I like the large wheels and alloy rims. The speaker system sounds great.

I don’t mind getting 12 mpg since I drive mostly short distances where I need to dart in and out of traffic. For that purpose this caddy purrs like a kitten.

Pros: Very comfortable captain chairs, lots of features such as A/C seats, navigation, XM, DVD
Cons: Second row room a little snug, no third row power option, limited cargo space.

Overall, it is an excellent ride. Rides like a BMW with the power of 400 HP. Very agile, smooth ride. A/C turns cold very quickly. Seats are very comfortable (expecially with them long rides). Bose sound system is simply great. We do need to get iPod intergation with future models though. Great eye candy and attention getter.

However, there is no third row power option and the second row leg room is a little limiting. Navigation does not offer traffic conditions like other less expensive models. The recirculate air feauture is also a weakness as you can smell outside odors even with this feature on. Gas mileage is also a bummer, but if you can afford to buy/lease this car, then you can afford the gasoline!

Regardless, a great automobile!

Great truck, good space, very comfortable, we like it

We came to the US from Europe last year and bought this truck for my wife, I bought a BMW like always.

We love this truck because it is big and comfortable.

But seriously, the trim and build quality is not what we are used to at all - several minor faults, one major transmission failure, some pieces of trim have broken off. You couldn’t sell a car with this quality in Europe…

I drove a Yukon Denali 2007 for seven month before switching to the Escalade 08. With all due respect to the Denali which by the way looks excellent, the Escalade is just a class on its own. Takes off more easily, agile and very smooth on the road. After all, it commands more respect than any other SUV.
I just luv it

I love driving this car! Car looks great and feels great. Will beat any toyota SUV up the Mtn pulling a trailer.
