2012 Cadillac CTS Performance 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Review
I've had mine for about a year now.
It is AWD Performance package and has the FE3 suspension and 19 inch wheels.
While the handling is great with this package, the tires are a bit noisy.
The 3.6 is well worth the price premium.
The engine really pulls strong in upper ranges.
Love the audio system that came with this package.
Slightly disappointed with gas mileage, averaging about 19.5 in mixed driving.
All highway trip managed to get about 25.
CTS still seems pretty popular with older crowds, so be prepared for comments if you are younger and driving one of these.

I drive about 40k a year so i go through allot of cars.
After leaving American cars for German due to my excessive mileage I am glad to be back.
I have owned an A6 (too uncomfortable) and a 528i (too unreliable) and came back to GM.
Couldn't be happier.
The rebates and incentives that I got were amazing and I have to say its nice driving something that not everyone else has on the road (528i).
Mine is Opulent Blue and I get the thumbs up all the time.

There are lots of things to love about the Cadillac. The incentives are what got me, the design, the handling, the power...
However, ALL of that isn't worth the car for one reason and one reason only. The absolutely complete MESS of navigation and especially the phone system.
1) when you get a call, the number appears on the DASH but the CONNECT button is on the NAV SCREEN and it pops up MAYBE 25% of the time. The audio voice will instruct you to hit a button, but when you do... nothing happens and you will lose calls ALL THE TIME. It CANNOT put your iphone contact list into its system (are you kidding?) and the "hands free calling" is worse than the Prius (which was horrific).

2012 Cadillac CTS Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Review
A 47,000 dollar luxury car for 34,000 with all of the rebates and incentives just blew away the Audi, Lexus and Acura for deals. I've owned MBZ E350, G35, Porsche 911, Acura TL. So far, it's OK and there are little "annoying" things about the car (especially the phone system), but it DOES drive smoothly despite being a "heavy" car. Pick up is "pretty good" but not "excellent" (guess I'm spoiled)

Review
Ok, this is my third cadillac in succession and i have driven the DTS and STS for a while before i finally ended up with a CTS 2012. Style and Design are the best in class, which I must say is the biggest lure to buy a CTS. Performance is great, has good power and handles better in corners. I am surely disappointed with the drive comfort level, seats itself aren't bad, something about the drivers position and may be the suspension. It gave me a neck ache after a couple hours drive. Love the pop up nav screen.
