Everyone wants a piece of the pie in the lucrative sport sedan market and Cadillac made its ante with the CTS in 2003. The first CTS features a 3.2 L, 220 hp V6 engine with standard 5 speed manual transmission and optional 5 speed automatic. The CTS comes in one standard trim.
As for gas mileage, expect 18 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway. The 2003 CTS has 4 doors, seats 5, and offers standard air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power/leather seats, cd player, ABS brakes, and traction control. Options include stability control, navigation system, and sunroof. Finally, the CTS goes from 0-60 mph in 7.1 seconds.
Overall, reviewers like the powerful V6, solid performance, and unique look. On the other hand, the CTS' size can make the ride a little cumbersome and the interior could use better materials. Cadillac has introduced a promising model that will need to keep growing in order to keep up with the competition in a tough market.

Car leaking coolant underneath the car in front in the center after a front end crash where could it be leaking from
Changed intake / valve gaskets , got everything back together. Car drove fine all the way home , however it was shifting a little odd so I thought maybe the ECM needed a little reprogramming , I removed battery cables for a little while for about 30 minutes then I went outside and got in my car. Without thinking I put my key in the ignition , then remembered I had to connect cables. I connected the cables, got back in my car and it said Anti theft security on the screen. Engine will start but it wont shift , key stuck in ignition. Fuel gauge doesnt work. So I brought it to a GM mechanic , they replaced anti theft module because they said it wasnt getting any response, they replaced it and put a new battery in as well. They programmed it and no progress , nothing worked and I'm $700 in now. Any advice or tips?
