2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe Performance 2dr Coupe AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Don't expect anyone to get into or ride in the back seat. Nearly impossible to sit up as adult and thus should consider this car a "two seater" and 3/4 only in emergency or children (w/o childseat...it is very hard to get it in and kids head will hit ceiling!). Golf clubs will NOT fit widthwise: sure the car is wide enough, but GM Engineers (in their infinate wisdom) made the trunk supports so they come down in the trunk and squish anything taller than 4" tall for at least 6" from each side. And the best engineering feat? Do NOT let your key fob go dead or low. To get into car (there are NO key holes in either door) you have to open the trunk (the key hole is 3" above license plate top...hidden. Once trunk is open, there is a plastic pull tab under rear window deck (if you are over 5' tall, you cannot see it without leaning into trunk). Pulling opens driver door. You now are in the car-but fob is only way to start it-so you are sunk. Don't get me wrong, I love this car-but you had better know idiosyncracies before buying it!

FANTASTIC LUXURY COUPE

First off I absolutely love this car! the ride is quite and smooth, the bose sound system is fantastic I wish I had the pop up nav but oh well. I bought my coupe with 72k on it for $12700, everything works great, It does need new back struts ( easy fix $500) my mpg is really bad tho that would be my only complaint, I'm averaging 20.5 which is low considering its rated at 18/27. Other than that I couldn't be happier with it, its truly a sport luxury coupe. Reliable, zoomy and not to mention one of the sleekest designs ever! you can't go wrong with it.

I was looking at many 2dr coupes (Audi, Infiniti, BMW) but nothing turns heads more than this Caddy Coupe. Everyday people ask me about the car because they have never seen anything like it. Could use a better navigation interface for the younger generation but other than that.....Sweet Ride thats fun to drive.

No doubt this Cadillac makes heads turn and frequent compliments and attention wherever I am, due to its sexy sleek body design and jacked-up"booty". Every time I think about trading it in or selling, I'm drawn back, as the 2012 body design is unparalleled to all other manufacturer coupe designs out there, and for the way I drive, it has just enough horsepower & torque to have fun cruising around, but not an uncontrollable gas-guzzling muscle care by any means. I agree with other reviewers toward the limited trunk and back seat spaces, but its rare I load up in either place. I will say that those "idiosyncrasies" can catch you off-guard if you don't do your homework on this vehicle. To change the headlamps, the front bumper & assembly need to be removed for access, no keyhole entry w/ unprogrammed key or dead battery presents problems, and the common mechanical issues over time from owners relating to rocker arms "squeaking", tire/wheel sensors, key fob, driver/passenger door button fail, and a few others not mentioned. Overall, if you maintain this vehicle, its a pleasure to drive in decent comfort and style.

I love a good looking car and this one of the sharpest and most unique looking cars on the road.The fit , finish and paint quality are impressive. Its as nice on the inside as it looks on the outside. Very comfortable seats and clear well thought out controls. A little disappointed in the 10 speaker Bose audio systems power output but the sound is crisp and clean. The six speed shiftable auto is smooth and quiet.The engine seems under powered and struggles to haul this small yet 3900 lb. car up to speed from a stop. It has good freeway punch and does well once you get it rolling. Handling is tight and flat and inspires confidence in wet or dry conditions and extremely maneuverable.
