Car runs fine, no problems of serious nature. Just it seems to be not well thought out. Simple thing, how can a car in this price range not have a central lock gas cover or at least an interior release for the gas cover? The navigation system is better than the BMW iDrive but that is a pretty low bar to beat. If l could take the computer tower out, it would improve my feelings a lot. l am stupid enough not to be able to change the name of previous owner so shut off personalization and now have no memory for seats. Cannot change clock, not a computer guy, a car guy yes, but too much computer issues.

One problem after another

This car is fast in a straight line, but that's about it. The differential is a poorly designed component that can't handle the power the motor puts out. I had the car a little over a year, and had to have it replaced once, and serviced for leaking twice. The suspension is OK, but it still drives like a large car. A lot of other things had to be repaired/replaced under warranty. Do not buy this car if the warranty is close to running out!

The CTS-V is amazing. This is one American car that can compete with the best the Germans build. The V is a rocket, a luxury rocket. This is not a car to drive if you prefer boring rides. If you love excitement, the V is the answer. If things like shifting for yourself, or 400 hp scares you, then it is not.
