2010 CTS-V 4dr Sedan

I decided to purchase the Cadillac to come back and purchase a car made in America that is as good if not better than the German cars. I switched from my 750i BMW to this car. Before the BMW I had an AMG E55 Mercedes and both those cars were great. I drove the new E63 AMG and the M5 before deciding on the Caddy. I have put 2000 miles on the car and it really is a great car. Everything works, the car looks great, nice fit and finish. The engine just has a nice rumble and everything works with no drama. Just press the gas pedal and hang on! Handling reminds of my Porsche, just a tight nice ride and it loves the hills. A GREAT value for such a world class car. No regrets at all.

After owning vettes for almost 20 years I just put myself in a CTS V sedan. Absolutely fantastic automobile. Only complaint is the brake / gas make heal /toe difficult. Display on the nav screen is odd in that the digital clock does not display Handling is better than expected and the supercharger gives instant power no matter the RPM level.

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.

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.
