This car is amazing on performance. quiet and simple to drive . Gas milieage is very good based on the exotic car performance . Back seats are nice. Easy long travel driver. Its not a S class or a 750 bmw . I say that so that you realize its not designed to be cushy. Its designed for folks that want a Z06 in a sedan package. The only downside is that the Cadillac dealers are not quite as good as say a BMW dealer in attentiveness. Leaps and bounds better than 5 years ago but a little growing to do. Buying this car vs the germans is easy. Its looks amazing in comparison and performs as well or better. Drive one and you will undertsand

The V as I affectionately call it is essentially a 4 door Corvette with a smoother ride. Its so much fun its hard to keep your foot from flooring it. Its like having your own personal amusement park ride. The downside is you can watch the gas needle move as you play so if you are eco conscious this is not the ride for you.

Not your daddy’s Caddy

I had a 2015 Chevy SS and wanted the CTS V but couldn’t swing it at the time. When 2016 came around I got my hands on a CTS V. I added a lingenfelter performance package to it and it turned a great performance sedan into an amazing performance machine. Needless to say I leave a lot of SRT Hellcat owners wondering what just happened. I’m 66 years young and this is by far the best performance car I’ve ever had, and I’ve had my share

I had a Lexus LS 460 and I love the ride, but it never gave me any excitement. I wanted more HorsePower and WOW!!!, did this Cadillac CTS-V do it!!! Power and Luxury all rolled into One!! This is also my first Cadillac and it won't be my last!!!

Rear end noise

Bought brand new. $100,000 in December of 2015. Great price for performance by the way. However, Rear end Noise started in April of '16. In the dealership 5 times for the same problem. Longest at the dealership repair shop was 2 months. Finally GM is buying (took until December of '16) it back but they have lost me. Will not buy another GM. Horrible experience.
