#54 of 230 Nightmare continues by kevincito Nov 25, 2008 (7:18 pm)
I am glad that most of you are happy with your CTS. My $43000 CTS has been my biggest nightmare. I bought it less than 2 months ago, and it has been back to the dealer 4 times and has spent 50% of time in the service department for 4 different problems since my ownership. I hope I'll get my car back next week ( it has been there for 1 week already tis time. No wonder GM is going bankrupt. Will I ever buy another GM? Probably never again.

#55 of 230 2009 CTS All-wheel drive by george119 Nov 26, 2008 (11:14 am)
I have been buying new GM cars for almost fifty years, both front-wheel and rear-wheel drive. I don't ever remember hearing any gear-train noise. This a first-time Cadillac. To me, the gear train seems noisy, especially for a so-called luxury car. My 2006 Impala SS made no noise at all. (front-wheel drive) The noise is noticeable when accelerating and also backing . Not bad with windows up and radio on. Sounds like gear noise. Dealer says all is OK. Does anyone have a comment on this?

Replying to: pao (Nov 26, 2008 11:32 am) Thanks for the info. I think it may have to do with the all-wheel drive. Replies to this message: kevincito (Nov 30, 2008 7:22 pm) pao (Dec 01, 2008 6:25 am)
#59 of 230 Direct Injection or not by srushing Nov 29, 2008 (7:25 am)
I'm on the verge of buying a 2009 CTS...just looking for the right combination. Is the upgrade to the 304hp DI engine worth it? I see the gas mileage is ever so slightly better but it sounds like the performance is the big improvement Thanks!

Replying to: srushing (Nov 29, 2008 7:25 am) I bought mine today. DI engine, all wheel. It is amazing. I did not drive the others as I wanted black with moon roof and it was the only one like that. I am really pleased with this car its looks are amazing and the car drives like a dream. Biggest car purchase to date for me and I am not regretting thus far. I could not get them to go below red tag plus additional $2,000 rebate. So I saved just over $6,000 with the deals. I am happy with my deal and my car. The dealership was great too. Nice people.

Replying to: srushing (Nov 29, 2008 7:25 am) personal choice...about a $1000 difference in the two engines...I have the non-DI engine....and love the car.....for normal day to day driving....I dont think you will tell the difference.....

Replying to: srushing (Nov 29, 2008 7:25 am) See #29 and #38 above.

Replying to: george119 (Nov 27, 2008 6:50 am) The first problem was my rear differential that needed to be replaced. The 2nd was a very loose glovebox that was making a lot of noise. The 3rd was the passenger door that was not closely properly that needed adjustment. 4th was the body work needed was result of the 4th problem. Now my CTS needs to go back again for a recall. 5 problems in less than 2 months. So I have put on the same amount of mileages in the loaners as in my own CTS. I have complalined to Cadillac a week ago and they have not come back with any solution yet. When you call, you can only leave a message and wait for them to call you back the next day. If you miss their call, you will have to wait at least for the whole 24 hours to hear from them again. Replies to this message: pao (Dec 01, 2008 6:25 am)
