After 7 years I am still in love with this car!
I purchased this car in 2012 and it is the longest I have ever had a car. I have 109,817 miles on the car and have done nothing to it except regular maintenance. I have had everything from a Borgward to a Rolls Royce and I believe this is the best vehicle I have ever owned

Nicely done by Cadillac
Performance is very impressive and the look is great. Handling is very good. Mileage average is 21.5 mpg measured over ten fill-ups. Rear window visibility a bit difficult and there is a paint blemish that should have been caught by quality control. Otherwise, the car's design and exterior fit and finish are good. Interior leather is well-fitted and the interior finish is excellent. Accent lighting is just right. Bose sound is excellent. Chose this car from among four in the class manufacturers I had narrowed it down to.
Quite a nice surprise
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.
Nice ride
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.
Over all
I am mostly drive Germany cars drive, Mercedes E class and BMW 535i... Had the opportunity to purchase a preowned 2012 CTS with low miles on it...The ride is different...Actually I like the ride..Handles bumps and ruff roads very well...The outside is very Articulate ...It's a bit smaller interior the the E-Class benz and the 535i... The leather seats are harder...Could use a little more padding to make long ride a little more comfortable..Gas mileage in good...The driver front seat is not as comfortable to ride in and the Germany cars...When accelerating..It make this strange noise..Need to take to the dealer find out what that is...Its seem probably the reason the first owner got rid of it...Loving the panoramic roof...Have put about 6k miles on it in the last 3 months I use mid grade gas to get better performance..I still have my mercedes over all the cts was a good choice...
