Nice looking car, but as a mechanic who works on cars daily, I would never buy a cadilac. Not to mention caddy has a problem with those cars over heating that they can't seem to solve.
I had one in the other day with verticle doors, 20's and like 5 t.v.'s in it. The car had 32,000 miles on it and it just seemed chincy. To each his own though. I would never buy it, but if it was given to me I would definately take it.
Then trade it in on the 07 cobra that is coming out!

That thing would look nice lowered on some 18in BBS style wheels.
Caddis do have a lot of problems. My parents had an escalade and had to take it in twice within the first month for the ac and power seats which didnt work. My friend has one also and he had the same problem with his ac but it went out right after his warrenty was up. Other than that theyre nice cars with a great engines.

My friend's dad has a 2005 silver CTS-V. That thing is soo much fun to cruise around in, we always drive it when we can. I love that car, there are so many electronic features to mess around with too, the best we have found so far is the Lateral G Meter. Its fun to slam it in a corner and see how many Lateral G's you can pull.

definetly-I got .75 on the on-ramp to the freeway yesterday.
CTS-V's kick ass. Did you ever see the mallet CTS-V? Over 700rwhp forget the torque but it was nuts. Had a 435ci LS1 with a vortech supercharger(12-15psi I think) Think hauled ass.

Yes, you push the forward seek button and the second to the last button on the right side of the screen at the same time after you get the movie playing. Then you can disengage the parking brake and the movie will remain playing. It was ment to play DVDs only when the parking brake is engaged, it has an on screen menu system that appears after you put a DVD in. Hope this helps.
ya thanks-it is sweet but i'll proly wreck it now-watching movies.
Hi From The CTS-V Forum!
Hi from the CTS-V forum dudes(http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=98). We appreciate the love here! I'm a V guy with little background in Fords (except for my '03 F150) since I unloaded my two 1970 Cougars back in 1985.
I can tell you from experience that the V is a sweet ride. Most of us are family guys who like the combination of being able to motor the wife & kids down the road in luxury, and being able to kill most other cars when we're alone. (Stock '04 and better Cobras are a worry for stock V's, though.)
Contrary to a previous posting here, V's don't have a heat issue in general. Then do have a chronic problem (e.g. lots of guys reporting) with rear wheel hop and rear end failures... probably the one is often caused by the other. Cadillac's biggest failing on this car was mating an LS6 engine to a differential that's only rated 310 for lb/ft! But we're modding like crazy, and the tuners are helping us. We're also trying to figure out how to put some pressure on the General to fix this damned problem.
Irrespective of V idiosyncracies and quirks, we love our cars.
CU out there,
Jerry

Test drove one a week ago. I love how the corsa cat-back roars. But the XLR appeals more to me. Tell your mom to watch out, girls dig CTS V's. 
To those saying Cadillacs are riddled with problems probably shouldn't base their opinions of reliabilty of an entire car maker on one car that their "friends" own. Cadillac is #2 in reliabilty behind Toyota according to JD Power.
wheel hop is redicules in that thing. I wouldn't doubt that they have rear end problems. I seen an XLR and i didn't like the look of it my self, but anyhow.
I'd love to have one of those. There is one guy around here in El Paso with a CTS-V, an 03 Cobra, an 05 GTO, and a 05 Vette. His car collection is badass wish I had that kind of money to throw around
not baseing my opinion on one car. Can't even count how many I have worked on. Like I said, to each his own but I would steer clear of any caddy. From what I have seen of them i'm not impressed with reliabilty and design. It's not a brand thing, I am not a big fan of the Lincoln LS either.

My dad bought one of the first ones to hit the lot. He got the burgandy color. And all the dealers options, chrome rims, exhaust, etc...
He can drive the hell out of that think and still can barely pull 12.9s
After having it a while he's decided its not all it was chalked up to be. He's most likely gonna trade it for an 04 Viper. :beer:
