'09 V -- Solid performer, if not green
6sp manual with recaros, now with Hennessey intake, AR Headers, tune (about 615 HP -- 521 to the rear wheels per dyno). Car is a blast, but traction is an issue, even in 104 degree weather. Just have to get over the fact that you can't floor it in 1st or 2nd in any weather without blowing the tires completely. 3rd gear hooks up in 90+ degree weather, and we'll see about cooler days this fall! Interior is very nice, but there is a bit more interior noise than in an audi I owned. 14-15 MPG average really isn't that bad for a 600HP sedan. Gadgets are very nice. The 8 inch nav touch screen is impressive. Excellent toy if scaring three passengers on the way to lunch is your cup of tea!
My first luxury sedan is a CTS- V!!
This car is awesome and I never thought I would buy American until I researched the CTS V. It has power, great handling, and beautiful interior and exterior. The navigation system, on star, and satellite radio are awesome. The electronics are pretty complex to me since I have driven my Honda Accord for 12 years. I read a little bit every night to understand the electronics of the CTS V. This car has so much to offer, and the pricing was too competitve for me to pass up.
Great car! Four Years later!
Four years later, still a Super car! That is what it is. Car is one of the nicest looking Sedans in the USA, Probably one of the fastest also. I bought mine used. I still think I got a decent deal. These cars can be expensive to own. Worth Every Dime! I am not really an electric kinda guy! Perhaps one day this Old School guy will change his ways! Who knows! LOVE MY V!!! One of 82 Made in Diamond Blue! White Suede Interior! Stunning! Don't want to drive a Beetle Baily car! Rare and Stunning is my style! God Bless America!

Happier Than Ever
Last post - Great car with radio turned up. After 2k miles, I simply love this car - almost weapon-like. I couldn't resist the Lingenfelter upgrade to 630hp / 630ft/tq - went out the other night with car - nobody on road. Rolling start from 40 mph then I floored it - the acceleration blew my mind - handling and steering extremely well balanced for the weight of this car. I am so pleased that there is nothing else out there that compares for under 100k.
I can't believe this is an American car
I am a 20-year loyal Honda/Acura buyer, so I bought this car with some trepidation as I have high expectations from my cars. I am NOT sorry I bought this car four months and 4500 miles ago, trading up from my beloved Acura RL. It lives up to EVERY bit of hype heaped upon it in the auto media. It is FAST, it is QUIET inside, the interior is high-quality, and the car is STEALTHY in that cops won't notice this car AT ALL. The torque is everywhere you want it to be. There are few buttons and they are large and intuitive. I didn't buy the car for gas mileage but it sure could use another gallon in the tank. Range is 240 miles in mixed 50-50 city/freeway driving, less when fooling around.
