  • First off let me start off by apologizing for the wind noise every now and then in the exterior portions, it was my only chance to get the 1st gen CTS so I had to take it haha. In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2003 Cadillac CTS. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    I’m a Ford guy, but man oh man do I ever love this car. This is the same car that Richard Hammond reviewed. The Cadillac CTS was the first American luxury car to take on the BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz cars and it also blows any Japanese luxury car out of the water. If you want a cheap used luxury car that won’t cost you an arm and a leg for maintenance like a BMW, Audi or Mercedes-Benz, then the Cadillac CTS is the car for you.

    Hey Kyle, nice video. I have one question. Does the interior on these have a lot of squeaks and rattles? My brother might be getting one of these soon, and it's in great shape, but I was wondering how quiet they are inside. I haven't gotten a chance to drive this one yet and I'd like to know. Thanks!

    @Forgoten214 the CTS-V from this generation just used the corvette engine, not a northstar. but yes it did have a 6 speed.
    The CTS is a great car, i've had my 03 for a little over a year now, maintenance is not wow high for a luxury car, it has all the amenities anyone could have asked for, especially in 2003, the engine is strong for being just a v6. This CTS is as base as you can go, no options at all, get some options and the interior will look much much better. wiki the options available.

  • @avenger836
    @avenger836 13 років тому

    The button with the "S" and gear surrounding it is stabilitrack. It's for winter driving. I'm not sure how it functions differently than the traction control switch in the glovebox. Or it is sportshift which changes how the transmission selects gears during acceleration and deceleration and is fun to drive with it on if you have the 3.6

  • @joshn938
    @joshn938 7 років тому +1

    Looking at either these, a Lincoln MKZ, or a Buick Lucerne for my next vehicle. How is the ride? I have a bad back, so I'm looking for something that's smooth and has well padded seats. Also wondering about reliability, because I have seen many reviews saying they are money pits, and many other that say they are good cars. Any CTS owners want to fill me in?

    • @hakeemsd70m
      @hakeemsd70m 6 років тому

      I would recommend the Buick Lucerne out of the top three. It's old school luxury, real luxury mind you, a rolling sofa which will Cottle and pamper you over every harsh bump of the American roads. Not to mention that it has actual interior space, a rear seat worthy of a king or a queen and an optional bench in the front on CX models. Fully loaded, the CXS songs with the top tier in North Star V8 for good power off the line.

    Nice man I like the CTS alot. I always liked the design.
    I always wondered why do they put rev limiters on cars so you can't rev it high in park?
    Any chances of a CTS-V from this generation? I believe they had a supercharged Northstar or something like that and a 6 speed. I know you have a newer generation CTS-V.
    I'd love to see a STS-V also if you could, they are great cars as well. Very underrated. IMO
    Wish you had a DeVile from 89-93 as well like the Junker one you showed.

    These cars need valve cover gaskets replaced after so many miles they tend to fail letting oil get into where your spark plugs are causing random shut off and misfires. also check plastic end of vacuum lines they get brittle and crack replace with rubber vacuum lines. if you smell burning oil time to replace those valve cover gaskets also do intake gasket while your there.
