Love my CTS-V Sedan

I'm in my mid thirties, which is not the age of your typical Cadillac driver. I traded in my manual 2005 Corvette, which was thoroughly modified, for an automatic 2009 Caddy CTS-V sedan. Every morning when I switch on the light in the garage, I am still thrilled to own this car. This car is the ultimate sleeper as only "car people" know what it is. I've taken it to the drag strip, and it's actually faster than my Vette, it ran a 12.1, completely stock! Have I mentioned handling? I love the way this car attacks corners. The car feels more planted in high speed corners than my Corvette. Simply amazing considering this is a luxury sedan.

I Love this car. Classy, sexy and silly fast. The CTS-V sedan is a corvette dressed for a black tie event.

Impressive Ride

This is the easiest-to-drive car I’ve ever driven or owned. It’s so powerful! Not just fast, it’s powerful. It’s a dream to handle in part because it’s impressively powerful. It speeds up, slows down, turns corners and does everything very, very well, and of course, it’s very powerful. It’s better than any of the pony cars I’ve owned or the ‘Vetts or the imported sports cars. It’s better than the BMW it replaced. It’s gorgeous inside and out. It looks good and feels good and it impresses even me. It is the 23rd new car I’ve treated myself to since I graduated college and it is the unqualified best ever. Oh, and it’s very powerful, too.

I now have had the sedan CTS-V 6-speed automatic for 3 months...it has completely surpassed my expectations...I was surprised to read a previous review about needing new brakes for $700, considering the car is fully covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The bottom line is any luxury car CAN have problems, and they are usually expensive to deal with, but Cadillac certainly doesn't give any worse service than any other company.

Six 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! So far in six years, I did the alternator and battery. Car now has 142K on it and thanfully, going Strong. Also, I am getting 15Mpg. Not too bad for a 556 horsepower car. 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! These cars ARE all the Rage for sure! Rare and Stunning is my style! God Bless America!
