2005 Cadillac CTS-V Reviews, Pricing & Specs














































































































































What owners say
"Owners of the 2005 Cadillac CTS-V are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about its performance, often highlighting its impressive acceleration and power, likening it to a sports car with the comfort of a luxury sedan. Many appreciate its distinct appearance and the thrill it provides while driving. However, some owners noted a downside to being a Cadillac, emphasizing the need to deal with the social stigma associated with the brand."
This 2005 CTS-V is nothing more than a 4 door Corvette. Straight-line acceleration is a real thrill and seat crusher and handling is remarkably good for a vehicle of this weight. I am selling to get a newer model (2009-2012) that has even more power.
August 7, 2012This is the kind of car that most people don't see coming. Most people have zero idea just how powerful this Cadillac is and are very surprised when they see it accelerate past them. If you have ever wanted a sports car without sacrificing comfort and size, this is the car for you.
July 12, 2012I love just about everything about this car. From the power to the appearance, it is just the most bang for your buck you can get. To top it off, it's a Cadillac so people automatically associate that with classy.

March 30, 2015well after owning a couple other fast cars this one is by far my favorite very fast, acceleration and top end but what do you expect with 405hp stk. the color isnt my favorite for this car but i got a good deal on it so i went for it and now i have no regrets
June 3, 2010This is by far the most fun car i've ever owned. It has the performance of a sports car with the luxory of a sedan. This car has a little over 400 horses and will do 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds. This is a very fun car to drive and will give me the gas mileage i need. I love this car
July 14, 2008The worst part about own this car is sticking out. The best part about owning this car is sticking out :) In a world of BMWs and Audis this is a bargain. Mental acceleration, strong brakes, and distinctive styling, and all the amenities a luxury car should have, the worst part about owning this car is having to say, "I drive a Cadillac."
May 19, 2008acceleration is great. no internal repairs. sleek, black, beautiful. funnest car i've been in. I would totaly recommend this great car to either my friends or anyone else who would have an interest in this fantastic machine. I hope to see tem make newer models soon, the only way the car could be better is if the mileage would increase.
November 15, 2008Corvette engine.... must anyone say more?
February 6, 2008Finally America has made a good all around car. Its fast, reliable, HANDLES WELL( FINALLY), practicale and fairly priced. I only drove it for about 10 min but I was very impressed. The only good Cadillac ever made. solid car, 400bhp v8 motor. 0-60 in 4.8 sec, 160mph top speed. just as fast as an Audi A6
June 13, 2008It's very fast, holds 5 people and gets acceptable mileage if I can keep my foot out of it. It has been totally reliable. The best thing is that it's stealthy. Few people know what it is. Most people think it a regular CTS...but it aint!
