I love my 2005 CTS, I do need to take it in for the recall but its such a great car to drive. I owned two BMW's prior to my CTS and spent tons of $$ on basic repairs. The bimmer's were fun but costly. The CTS is a powerful but smooth ride. I have not had a problem with my CTS but I also just bought it last year. So maybe the prior owner had to deal with all of the problems it had. Hopefully I'm getting the better years of my CTS's life.

I have never been so dissapointed with a vechical as I am with my CTS. Cadillac use to stand for Quality but have become a car that is pleasent to look at but costly to drive and very unreliable. GM should have been let go instead of bailing them out. At least toyota have stepped up to the plate and started fixing what cars they have screwed up. I have two Fords that keep going and going. "Thank you Ford" and I will get rid of my GM Vehicals. The funny thing is I know so many people and they can not believe the lack of Quality in this CTS and the hassle I get from GM dealers when you Take it in. After spending 2300.00 on the CPU one of the mechanics said get rid of this CTS because the timing chain has a habit of going on these cars and it will cost 3500.00 as they have to pull the engine to change it. I took it a step further and asked a service advisor and he told me there was some truth but it deos not happen all the time. Well I made a couple of months and wammo timeing c
