Came to this from a Volvo V70 wagon: very impressed with handling, torque, and comfort. GM should be proud of this car - versatile, well built and a blast to drive!

I absolutely love my CTS wagon. The interior finish is well done. The ride is silky smooth. I get so many compliments. There are so many SUVs that I am glad to have a vehicle that is not like every other one out there. I recently began using the sport mode and think it makes up for the 3.6l engine option I passed on. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone wanting a great driving vehicle with more space but does not want a suv.

I've been VERY impressed by the Premium AWD 3.6 CTS wagon. It's such a refined, tasteful, fun to drive automobile. The interior is really well done--leather stitched dash, real wood--nice tactile touches. The exterior styling is beautiful and unique. It drives as nicely as any car I've driven--precise handling, smooth quiet ride and a lot of power. I have the thunder gray finish-- it's gorgeous. The sound system is top shelf--I use a usb thumb drive and I have all the music I need without having to bring the ipod with me. I'm proud that an American company made such a great vehicle!

It's a little early to give a real in depth review, but so far, so good. This is my third wagon, the first being a BMW 3 and the most recent a loaded Magnum HEMI. I never imagined driving a Caddy until I saw this beauty. The interior quality is excellent and so is the ride. Fit, finish and touch are exactly what I was looking for and are better than BMW. BMW has been stuck in a time warp for far too long. You can't really compare this to the Magnum HEMI quality wise, but HEMI wins the need for speed any day. The Caddy is no HEMI (unless you get the CTS-V). I had owned it less than 30 minutes before I got my first compliment. It's a pleasure to drive fun to drive.

2010 CTS Sport Wagon rocks

I went out to buy a 2010 AUdi a6 avant and came home with the cadillac cts sport wagon. It handles better than my wife's A4 and accelerates crisply. Handling including stopping are outstanding. The exterior is an eye catcher. The interior is very nice, not as good as Audi but very, very nice. I race cars for a hobby and would like to take this car on the track. Yet it is comfortable enough for my wife to haul groceries in.

The Best Car I have ever owned

I bought this 2010 Premium model three months ago with $13,000 discount. The Performance and Fun to Drive factors are the best I have ever owned. Previously I have had Mercedes, Lincoln, and Chrysler models. A comparison with BMW, Mercedes, Audi proves that this car is superior in every respect. Cadillac has truly taken the lead According to my Diagnostic Report I won't have the change the oil for 11,000 miles and it uses regular fuel. I get 17mpg around town and 28mpg on the highway.

I was looking at the SRX and left with the CTS wagon. Looks and drives great. It gets long looks and thumbs up at gas station and cross walks. Maybe with 3.6 I'd give 10 on performance, but still fun to drive.

After driving Corvettes and some some German models for years, I find the CTS Sport Wagon to be very well built, Extremely comfortable, very responsive and well tuned suspension. The 3.6 delivers more than ample power, I ordered the 19" summer package as well and like the FE3 Brakes, I don't find the ride to suffer at all with the sport suspension, quite comfortable. The styling of the Wagon does turn heads that's for sure, I like the stance of the wagon better than the sedan. I am going to the auto show this weekend to check out the Coupe as I may well trade my camaro for one.

This is an amazing machine. It handles like the regular CTS but way smoother. I love driving this thing around town. I get lots of looks and I can't blame them. I test drove BMW 3 and 5 series wagon, Mercedes E wagon, but they couldn't compare to this car. Stellar job. Would and will buy next years model without second thought

A rush to drive!! Feel young with a tight steering wheel and the feel of the road. This is a true sports car with the luxury of a Cadillac. The ride is smooth and very quiet. The Bluetooth technology is awesome with hands-free talking. Bose system is the best and clearest sound out there. Love it. Will drive a Cadi the rest of my life!! The kids love it too!!!

Almost as much fun as a -V

Just bought it and love it. I also have a 2005 CTS-V and compare the handling of this car favorably to the - V. I find power ample but not breathtaking. I note that some car mags complain about the tranny Sport mode logic, but I find it doing just about the same thing, at the same time, as I'd be doing with my -V manual Tremec. I'm 6'1" and find the seating a bit cramped at the knees but still quite comfortable touring. I'll have a hard time chosing between the wagon or the -V for a trip.

I have known this car since new and I have a lot of seat time. This is a very competent car. If you want a hot rod get a V if you can afford one, but for a thoroughly pleasant daily, the 3.0 AWD is fine 99% of the time. Is it melodious? No, but it is competent.

My 2010 CTS Luxury Wagon is stunning Cocoa Beach

This amazing one-owner Caddy Wagon is immaculate with amazing quality, comfort and performance after 87k softly driven miles. Someone loved this car. It's always fun to drive a legend and this one is like perfect, right out of the wrapper.!! Luxurious comfort and performance. The smooth 3.0 V-6 is perfect for me and everything we need out here on the beautiful East Central Florida Coast. Good contrast to my silent '06 Solara which is similarly clean. The car is so quiet it scares the neighbors. Most loved is the ride, smooth and crisp with great acceleration and strong handling. I've owned a lot of Cadillac's but this one is really growing on me. Great car and thanks to Epic Motors In Chantilly VA for the rare find. Tom Johnson Indialantic Beach Florida

CTS 4 Sport Wagon

Most trouble free and reliable car I've ever owned. 3.0 V6 has no torque, and is very underpowered. But economy is good at 22 MPG average.

Worst car that we have ever owned(38 of them--some old clunkers)! Engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and real axle are engineering disasters! Ob scene noises on every upshift and downshifts.
