FANTASTIC LUXURY COUPE

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe 2dr Coupe (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
36 of 39 people found this review helpful

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.

This is by far the best car I've ever had. I'm not used to driving a car 11 years old. Still cutting edge. Amazingly.... I still am finding features that you just can't find. Sporty yet is so smooth and quiet

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.

Interior: - class defined unique. Love the accent lighting along the dashboard seam & how the lighting flows into the door seams. Seating is good for long trips & cruising. Better than the G37. Exterior: - eye catching head turning. love or hate it people will look. I love the center exhaust & they stayed true to the angular lines throughout the design. Performance: no Ferrari but don't slip on your shift in your 325 or it'll take over. is good enough. 0-60 in low 5's makes me smile, curvy roads, bring 'em on, it can handle it.

I recently replaced my '08 red CTS sedan which I thoroughly loved, with a new 2011 Black CTS Coupe. Wow! I love this car more than my '08 CTS! The styling is fantastic! I have had about 22 new cars through the years and I have never received this many compliments on a car before, and I have had some really nice cars! The interior and exterior are beautiful. The seats are comfortable, the 304 HP with the 6 speed trans is very smooth and it uses regular gas! My '08 and my new coupe both are all wheel drive which are absolutely great in the snow, actually fun to drive! I went with the 18 inch all season tires and FE2 suspension which gives great handling and a firm but very nice ride.

Looks stealth. Easy to wash because of the clean lines. Earned the name "bat mobile" among my friends. Terrific road handling. But don't expect to use the back seat. Don't let anyone park near you (due to the width of the doors). And bring your life savings when you buy new tires (which you WILL do about as often as you inspect your gutters) IF you can find them in stock .

Very Impressive CTS Coupe

16 of 20 people found this review helpful

I just came out of an '07 CTS V6 Direct Injection, Premium. The new CTS Coupe has some very significant improvements. There is a dramatic reduction in road noise and now the car is quiet. The drive is much more comfortable with improved shock absorption, braking, handling, and acceleration, but still feels sporty. Stereo speakers also significantly improved, and there is an incredible Navigation System and Hard Drive..Trunk is a little smaller, but rear seats go down. This car has been tweaked!

Sport Car Performance & SUV Comfort-Luxury

As long one considers the CTS Coupe as a 2 seater, it is tough to top. Mine is a stick ordered from Detroit. Performance is only slightly below that of my 350Z; excellent acceleration & swings through the twisties with abandon. Comfort is first rate with large cabin (for 2), well laid out controls & dash, and every amenity known to modern man including a 40 GB harddrive & 10 speaker Bose for music. The inside fit & finish is the best I've ever seen. The car is a work of art inside & out. Go sit in one. Do consider the back seat usless; anyone over 2'6" will not fit & you'll need a shoehorn to get them in. But no one will buy this bomb who really needs 4 seats.

I could have chosen any car I wanted under $100K, & I chose the CTS 2 door Coupe in Diamond White Tri-coat. I love the color, sporty styling, body lines which are so futuristic & the dual exhaust tips in the middle of the car side by side just under the middle brake light looking like the tail of a speeding comet! I am 6 foot 5 inches tall & weigh just under 300 pounds & this car fit best for me as compared to the Camaro or the Corvette. No one can ride behind me so it is basically a 3 person car when I have my seat against the back seat but I don't care. Only if the XLR were to have looked so good! I think if you want or need a back seat, buy the four door CTS or the wagon. Yes, I'm in LOVE

My wife and I have kids about to leave the house (college)...and needed a 2 seater for JUST US....Boy did we hit the jackpot with this car. Its everything one can imagine in a car... We got the top of the line one MINUS the sunroof..which in my opinion isnt really a sunroof if the glass just angles up! All of the features are beautifully done. No other car priced in this range on the road makes me feel inferior. The looks we both get driving this car ARE ALWAYS complimentary!!!

The car has the best styling of any car that I have owned. When I came out of the mall there were people around the car looking at it. I have had so may compliments on the looks of the car. I enjoy this car much better than my XLR that I traded for the CTS premium.

2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe critical faults!

1. 304 hp is not enough, a V-8 w/400 hp should be standard for this vehicle. 2. Front seats are terribly uncomfortable,replace them w/ seats from the sedan or the SRX - lots of good comfort. 3. The exterior paint colors are too few and many should be put only on outhouses. Paint options should include all of the Cadillac colors and be at no cost added. 4. The back seats for only 2 people is silly and very uncomfortable. Fix this and make the seat flat for extra room. 5. The performance package w/only summer time tires is stupid stupid! 6. The ride is sometimes rough, fix this and make it a luxury comfort ride like a real Cadillac! 7. The hot rear exhaust pipes can burn your legs if touched.

I have the luxury of owning 4 Cadillac CTS's my last one is a CTS Coupe and everywhere I go people turn heads. I have driven BMWs, Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus but nothing beats a Cadillac and I can say I'M PROUD to have driven and owned a few.

What a awesome machine that GMC has made and oh yes , she does made people look when I go by.The 2 thing I wish GMC would have did was give the car more hp power at least 330hp. But also they should have made the car easier to put a different car stereo system in it. I have Rockford Fosgate speakers and my two Rockford Fosgate Amp that each are 750watts and my 7band Kenwood equalizer around 400 hundred watts. I also have a 800 hundred watts subwoofer that is a Rockford Fosgate as well My car stereo system I have for it is a Kenwood receiver . It has been very hard to find a Professional car stereo System company I can trust. Most companies are saying it is to complicated.
