CTS - Very Good

I have had my CTS-V for 13 months. It has been the most reliable and pleasurable car that I have ever had. I would think that with all the features that this car has that something would have had a minor problem. I haved had nothing go wrong. It had had the oil changed every 3,000 miles and that Is it. The performance is first rate and the handling is excellent. I get praise about this car wherever I go. It is an attention getter. My average mile per gallon is 15 mpg. I think that this is good considering the car's performance. I will definately buy another CTS-V when the new model comes out.

I was intrigued by the Cadillac performance vehicle. I am not the least bit sorry that I bought it. My wife drives a Corvette, and I prefer the Cadillac. I haven't had any trouble with the vehicle and has been in the shop only for routine service. If there was a complaint, it would have to be the Goodyear tires that came on the vehicle. The tires were wonderful, but the replacement cost was very high. I replaced the tires at 11,000 miles. Would buy another CTS-V.

Finally an American rear drive that has plenty of horsepower. I have been waiting for something that gave me what my old BMW 540 had. This is much more reliable and cheaper to own. Plus, it's got all the American muscle that I have missed for many years! It is a great car. I will be buying the '08 model with 500 HP when it comes out.

I like my Cadillac CTS-V as much as my Corvette. The looks of astonishment that I get from Mustangs and BMW's are hilarious. They can't believe it is a Cadillac. Which it is, my first and certainly not my last. It handles like it's on rails. I had the G meter pegged out at .95 and it was effortless and held the corner tightly with hardly any tail movement.

This is the most enjoyable car to drive and what a bargain for what you receive. I have on occasion pushed the car to the limit and it will blow you away as well as most other cars on the road. it suprises everyone. Take a bow Cadillac for this one.
