Used 2004 Cadillac CTS

Buying Guide for the Cadillac CTS:

First introduced in 2003, the Cadillac CTS is already making waves in the automotive world. With its edgy design and bold lines, it has reinvigorated the Cadillac brand. Competing with such near-luxury mainstays as the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the CTS knows it has to bring the goods. In addition to its style, it also distinguishes itself with its size: the CTS is among the largest, heaviest cars in the class.

For 2004, CTS models with automatic transmission receive GM's all-new 3.6-liter V6 VVT (variable valve timing) engine. They also get new shocks and shock mounts for a softer ride and a few interior changes as well. And as usual, all CTS models are safe: CTS has six airbags, including dual-stage frontal airbags and head-curtain side airbags to help protect front and outboard rear passengers.

Under the Hood

When you opt for 5-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability, you’re privy to one of GM’s newest engine types. The fully variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust valves provides outstanding flexibility, fuel economy and emissions reduction. It also develops 20 percent more peak power and a 24 percent increase in torque-integral (255 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 252 lb-ft of torque at 3200 rpm).

2004 CTS models with 5-speed manual transmission receive a 3.2-liter V6 that generates 220 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 220 lb-ft of torque at 3400 rpm. The CTS' rear-wheel drive Sigma architecture is the first usage of ultra high-strength steel at GM, resulting in less mass while retaining rigidity.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

The four-door CTS seats five passengers. Its sharp forms and angular cues were chosen to represent and mirror the advent of the high-tech world of geometric shapes and crisp lines. A car for the times, in other words.

On the inside, the emphasis is on comfort and convenience. Warm, rich materials help to contrast a cool, computer-like cockpit appearance.

Options are available, but the standard list is quite thorough in itself. A tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio and climate controls, leather upholstery, an 8-way power driver seat, heated power mirrors, an AM/FM/cassette/CD player and an analog clock are just part of the list.
