2008 Cadillac Base Model

I really like the look and design of this year and model Cadillac. I feel it tight in space though considering I’m over 6 ft tall. The seats are more comfortable than the 2014 Honda accord i previously owned. I bought the car used with some costly issues that I didn’t realize it would amount to so much at first. Something simple as changing the HD headlight bulb is a nightmare smh. I have spent over $2000 in repairs and the car still needs more work lol, which I refuse to do. Keep in mind if you decide to purchase this type of car do your research and know what to expect.

Do not purchase this vehicle

Great vehicle loved it all 10 yrs I owned it however this specific vehicle in port Huron at Cawood Honda is garbage. Good deal if there wasn't over $2000 in repairs needed to drive it off the lot. Being a mechanic I suggest not buying it.

Just super happy

Smooth car that keeps his owner comfortable. Crazy that I was able to find one with such low mileage, can’t beat the bang for buck

An all around great car

This has been great to me. Since I got it a few months ago, I’ve had no problems with it. Everything electronically works great including ac. The convenience do dads are great. Mileage is great for a now older car.

Beautiful car when I owned it, hated to sell it.

Just a good looking car and sporty interior. Upgraded engine and option package. Chrome grill and vogue tires added to give that special touch. The Cadillac custom insignia mats really set the interior off.

Very reliable Cadillac.

All I expected. Great performance from a V-6. Was a rarer "V" model for 08 with a DI V V T high function engine. Loved it

Comfortable, Reliable, and Beautiful!

I have been driving this car for 3 years and I still love it! I have not had a single problem with it. I would recommend a second generation Cadillac CTS to anyone looking for a reliable luxury car.

Cool car, but too small

The CTS is great, but I'm right at 6' tall and it's just tight. Maybe I'm the exception, but I really would like a larger luxury car that has the same quality as the smaller versions. The larger luxury sedans tend to be fleet vehicles that are just lacking compared to cars like the CTS. Great car - 25%-35% too small.
