mattd Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hey guys I've been thinking about getting into a newer car for a while now and dropped onto one that I'm really thinking about. 2003 Cadillac CTS sport. This thing looks kinda a cool. I haven't driven one with the 3.2 yet. I've driven a 03 with 2.8 manual before and really liked it. I felt it had sufficient power and could get loose with the rear drive Anyways my question is, are there any problems with the 03 CTS's with the 3.2L? I mean GM got rid of the motor in just one year. I believe that after 04 only the 2.8 and 3.6 were available. Should I just wait for a 04 or later model or is it OK? One of the reasons I want a CTS is that as much as I love the northstar motor it has it's issues. Oil leaks potential head gasket issues and bad gas milege. Can someone tell me how the milege is on the CTS? I do drive alot and I really would love to have a car that won't cost me $400 a month in gas I really like the look though. It sits low to the ground with nice 17" chrome wheels, and looks mean with the black on black color combo Thanks guys any info as always much appreciated.

Bruce Nunnally Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I recommend you shop a 2004 or later CTS with the 3.6L DOHC VVT engine. It has more HP and torque than the 3.2L, and a wider torque band with the variable valve timing. I get 25-26 mpg touring at 70-75 mph on trips with my 05 CTS 3.6L.
