2007 Cadillac CTS-V Consumer Reviews

Better than my 2 Corvettes

2007 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Love the acceleration of the 400 horses. The 6 speed is the same as my last Corvette so the first to fourth shifting wasn't as annoying as it could've been. Like the cornering. Wife won't drive it because she thinks the suspension is too stiff - that's a bonus for me. The added seats over a Corvette really make me not want another Corvette. I've gotten 25 mpg on the highway and it's a nice ride on interstates. Great sound system and the navigation system is useful. XM radio is convenient in getting sports games in the middle of nowhere. OK, now that Corvettes are made with over 600 horses, I guess I'd try one. But not for 100K+. Best car I've ever had, hands down!

Favorite Features

Acceleration, handling, seat comfort, price (42,000 after it sat on the lot for a year!)

Suggested Improvements

Wider tires - this car goes!

The Best Luxury Sports Sedan Out There

Written by: Matt on 10/01/2008

Vehicle

2007 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

How much is a Mercedes-Benz S600? $140,000! How much is a BMW M5? $85,000! How much is an 09 CTS-V? $65,000! The brand new 09 CTS-V rockets to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, has a top speed of 183 mph, and its luxury features will keep you happy for a long time. There's a rear entertainment system, voice-activated navigation system, voice-activated seat massage, remote start, power mirrors, heated leather steering wheel with radio and climate controls, adaptive cruise control, and those are just the basic. This loaded American luxury sports sedan gets a 102%, considering price, luxury, and fuel economy, compared to other competitors. This is an amazingly awesome car, and it fits for everyone. GO CTS-V

Favorite Features

rear entertainment system, voice- activated navigation system, voice- activated seat massage, remote start, power mirrors, heated leather steering wheel with radio and climate controls, adaptive cruise control, 12-disc CD/DVD changer, iPod/MP3 holder/charger, premium sound system, performance, price

Suggested Improvements

This car is the bomb! The only improvement I would give it is probably performance. Cadillac has high performance sedans that get to 60mph in 4.5, but Cadillac needs a supercar that gets to 60mph in 4.0 seconds, and the size and body of this CTS-V luxury sports is definitely capable of that speed.

Driving V-Crazy!

2007 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I shopped other sport models, the V was last on my list. I drove it expecting to be disappointed. 8 months later I'm still riding V-crazy! Amazing power; great looking (pictures cant do it justice); and at half the price of other supercars that absolutely can not compare. More horse power than most cars in the industry, especially sedans. This car can lift my 350+ pound can out the seat! I am pleased.

Favorite Features

6-speed manual; navigation with xm; nice looking leather/suede seats.

Suggested Improvements

A few modifications I suggest: more head and hip room, less plastic on dash, and reposition er brake and release.

Buyer Beware

Review

This car just EATS the run-flat tires, and GM refuses to address it. $880 for new run flats every 10k miles? Less than 10k on a set of tires. Also the differential clanks loudly and the dealer says this is normal. Lightning fast, good brakes. Interior too much plastic.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

tires that wear at least 20k.

Review

This is hands down the best dollar for dollar auto purchase I have ever made. I've owned 911's, Mercedes, late '60's muscle cars, etc. this one wins the lot! It'll beat almost anything on the road (I added the Cadillac sanctioned magna-supercharger), and literally, it's hard to keep on the road! I've had it dynoed at the neighbourhood shop at 440hp at the rear wheel..yup, rear wheel. You will not be disappointed with this machine. It's an ol' man's muscle car...power, looks, comfort, sound.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Could definitely benefit from a tip-tronic transmission.

Scary Fast

Written by: Wise One on 09/11/2007

Vehicle

2007 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Excellent vehicle and more power for the money than most out there. Car is a real head turner as people initially think it is a regular CTS until they get a little closer and then only see your tailights. Also handles amazingly well for a large vehicle. On the highway very quiet and smooth until you need the power.

Favorite Features

Engine, stereo, and seats.

Suggested Improvements

Shorter throw shifter and brake release location.

Replaced my 911

Written by: George III on 05/14/2007

Vehicle

2007 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

This replaced my 911. I needed more trunk space, but didn't want to give up performance, 6-speed, or styling. Dealer installed performance exhaust, skip shifter and upgraded suspension....each worth the added expense, particularly if you like to hear an engine that growls. Obviously, does not handle like a 911, but at 60% of the price it is worth giving up a little.

Favorite Features

Exhaust resonance and straight-ahead power. Prefer this shifter to my 911.

Suggested Improvements

Would create a little more foot room around the clutch pedal. It tends to get a little crowded with a size 12 shoe. Move emergency brake to more convenient location.

Completely Satisfied

2007 Cadillac CTS-V 4dr Sedan (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

This is the best vehicle purchase I have ever made. The driving experience is incredible! The sleek body design, engine and transmission work well together. This car is very fast.

Favorite Features

The LS2 400 HP engine, instrument panel, navigation, sunroof, power leather and sued seats and competitive driving mode. This car has many features.

Suggested Improvements

The brake release is too close to the hood release. You may have to get out to close the hood.
