2003 Cadillac CTS
The 2003 Cadillac CTS is a new high quality vehicle
with lots of power and comfort that make it a solid
member of the near-luxury car class. This North American-made
model replaces the German sourced Catera and gives consumers
access to Cadillac style and quality with a more attainable
price range for the average income. A Luxury Sport Package
offers some enhancements to handling and drivability
for those who want to optimize the driving experience.
Under the Hood
The 3.2-liter, V-6 engine that powers the 2003 Cadillac
CTS gives it 220 horsepower at 6000 rpm. 220 ft-lbs
of torque at 3400 rpm, the peak of the power band for
this motor, will get you past that slow-moving tanker
in a hurry, giving you solid acceleration power at highway
speed, when you need it.
The CTS has standard antilock brakes and traction control,
along with front side and curtain side air bags. A choice
of manual or automatic transmission, both with five
speeds, is a new feature from Cadillac and a switch,
between Winter or Sport Modes, allows the driver to
set responsiveness to their own preference.
The Luxury Sport Package has these feature plus sport
suspension, load-leveling rear suspension, a Stabilitrak
antiskid system, variable-assist power steering, upgraded
brake pads, and bigger, 225/50VR17 tires, all contributing
to a taut and agile curve-eater.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Also Standard on the base model CTS is an assortment
of other features, including the OnStar assistance system,
leather upholstery and much more. The various options
packages include the major Luxury and Luxury Sport packages
and there are many additional add-ons.
The Luxury Package includes the following: wood interior
trim, compass, universal garage-door opener, digital
memo recorder and a number of seating and memory features
like an 8-way power passenger seat, memory driver seat
and mirrors. The Luxury Sport Package has all these
features plus the drivability enhancements mentioned
above and polished alloy wheels add.
It is possible to add many more options. For example,
a CD-Rom navigation system that includes Bose AM/FM/cassette
w/in-dash 6-disc CD changer can be ordered on top of
these packages, adding to the appearance, feel and personal
style available in this great car.
