Long term Review - Very Important

After owning the car for a couple of years. Here is a review that might be useful to some. Having driven both engines Ls2 and Ls6. I would say that Ls6 is a tick faster on the top end. The car is Daily driver and is good fun as an American car can be. After owning several GM built cars over the years, I will now consider another brand just because competitors have built superior cars. V is not very thought out. The shifter is terrible - too much effort. The suspension is not forgiving. This car is not on the same level as the AMG and M5. They are fast and comfortable and driver feels connected to the car. with this, it feels like you are in a substandard product.

For the heart of a Corvette, this thing still gets great mileage and is extremely civil. But when I open it up, it's a whole different beast.

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.
