Used 2006 Cadillac CTS-V Consumer Reviews
Excellent car
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.
Geoff's CTS-V
If GM made more cars like this, they wouldn't be in trouble. I have 3500 miles on my 2005 CTS-V, half of it being wide open interstate and half in the doldrums of Los Angeles commuter traffic. This car replaces a highly modified Jaguar XJS-V12, and I am generally delighted with the move. The Cadillac handling is hard to fault, and selective turn off of stability and traction is welcome. I am less pleased with straight line performance, as the vehicle is subject to axle tramp unless care is taken to avoid it. Also, engine management slowly (over seconds) decreases rpm on release of throttle which makes for an odd feel on hard acceleration. DIC is distracting and features ill thought out.

Out with the old in with the new
Having owned several muscle cars in my life, this is truly a modern muscle car. The CTS-V turns heads everywhere I go. Highway on ramps are fun and the underpass noise gives you a rush. I feel like a high school kid again. I have every dealer performance option I in can get. The skip shift has to go. A MSG transmission with paddle shift, and the heads up display would be more fun.
Best Kept Secret
This is the best car for the value of the dollar I've ever purchased, and it's fast and easy on gas. Electronic features are awsome and easy to use. Creature comforts are similar to any sport car. This is what a car is suppose to be, brings enjoyment to driving. Also, comfortable on a long road road trip.
Grandma's new V
Excellent car in everyway, it's amazing that the economy is there with the performance and comfort. Best buy for the dollar. Grandma really enjoys her new car. The Ecalade was nice but this is better.
