2000 Cadillac Catera

Really bad

By Bronx007 (MA) on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 96,000

Pros: "Nice inside"

Cons: "Everything else"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Car shuts off while driving. I've seen stories on this car from other people I just wish I saw it before I bought. I payed $800 for this and would give someone another $800 to take this death trap off my hands. We have nick named this car Carrie because its possessed. Stuff works when it wants to. One minute the radios on. Then turns off by itself. Off to be donated to a high school tech shop"

Absolutely the WORST!

By Gin on Sunday, March 18, 2012

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Constantly breaking down - My approximate mileage is 168,000

Pros: "Interior, room, appearance"

Cons: "Electrical issues, transmission, brakes..."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2

"This car has been a nightmare! Ive bought two batteries in less than a year due to a electrical glitch that doesn't seem to shut off and it drains the battery. Leaving you stranded at random. The radio works one minute and shuts off the next. If the car isn't put in sports mode the transmission won't drop down into first gear so you have to take off in second. Brakes wear quickly and sunroom often opens at random (even when the car is parked and turned off.) recently while driving the car cut off without warning while driving. Cadallic really let me down with this car."

Hate my Caddy

By Willakay (IN) on Wednesday, January 25, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 84,000

Pros: "Looks nice"

Cons: "EVERYTHING!!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 3

"Bought this car used with really low miles and a terrific price, but within a few days I started noticing problems. CD player doesn't work, no cup holder, slow motor on back passenger window, and that was just the first few days. Wthin a month or so the brakes had to be replaced. No simple job there, did you know it takes special tools to fix these things? I had no clue. Now I've owned the car about a year and a half and I can't wait to get rid of it. My sunroof has been cracked open just a little bit since this summer and its been looked at but will cost a few hundred dollars to repair. Boo!! The dash looks like a freaking light show...everyday its something new. I WOULD NOT recommend this car to my worst enemy...well maybe her but no one else, thats for sure."
