looking at c320's
05 C320 vs. 05 CTS 3.6L

Hey People,

Been lurking here and cadillac forums for awhile. Im torn between these two vehicles. Looking to purchase within the next 4-6 months. Can anyone share their thoughts (pro's and cons) on each? Also, is there any reason I should be looking at c240's over 320's? I know it really stands out to you guys but, they kind of all look the same to me, and I could not find any reference material online to tell me the difference and also different options to look for, must-have options etc. I do know that I like the luxury package over the sport package.

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Bottom line is what appeals to you more. Me personally, I would've went for the CTS except that when your driving all you see is glare in the back window from the rear deck and almost as bad in the front window as well. CTS is less expensive to maintain, more powerful and it definitely doesn't look like anything else on the road. Now, pending on what your looking to spend then I would wait for the all new '08 CTS.

agreed for the new cts... 300+hp. however, the interior just looks waaay to cheap. not that mucha fan of the facelifted interiors for the w203. I bought the c230 because of the gas mileage. the range on the I4 was 454mi on a full tank. the range on the new 07 c230 [v6] is 350mi. HUGE difference. But ideally, it all comes down to what you're looking for specifically and what you're happy with.

good luck!

Out of the two that you've mentioned, i'd have to go with a C320 with the sport package.

The best part of driving the CTS, is not having to look at it.

Thanks to everyone for all the info! Maybe the 05-06 prices will drop now that the new bodystyle is out??
