What a Nice Car This CTS Is

We have had our new CTS for two weeks. This CTS is the lux/sport package with sunroof, auto, heated seats (won't use this much in the "Big Easy"), HID, and white diamond paint. It really sticks to the road and is a hoot to drive, but the enthusiasts will want another 50 HP. The standard audio system is fine. Rear seat passengers have more leg room than you think, but headroom is slightly cramped for the six footer. The dealership was very price conscious and sold us the car for $300 over invoice found on the Edmund's site. On top of this, I was able to apply another $1000 off using my GM card earnings. Sweet.

I've had my CTS for about a month and bought it after test driving the BMW 3 and 5 series several times. Long time Honda owner, but had to look at American cars after seeing so many look alikes from the Japanese & Germans. Tough to tell an Audi from a BMW from a Toyota. The CTS is a blast to drive - almost seems like it is reading your mind when you want to change lanes. Once you begin moving over you better be ready - the CTS is very responsive. Can easily cruise at 80 mph and you don't even notice. I defintely use my radar detector at all times. Great turning radius as well, very tight and quick.

Just got our CTS and it's everything we'd heard about. What an experience! The handling, ride and performance are better than I'd hoped for. This car will definitely bring down the "average age of a Cadillac owner!"

a much better combination of performance/comfort than bmw can offer. (Ive driven the entire bmw line, this car matches great against 5s and 3s and I currently own an X-5) The bose sound system and electronics pkg is far superior to that of my bmw. Climate control is also far superior to my BMW. Perfect size...BMW 3 series are just too cramped inside. This car gives nothing away in handling to any bmw sedan except for the M3. Styling is exceptional...get great comments from onlookers everyday. BMW's sedans look like hondas at 50 yards.

In the 600 miles I've driven it, I love the handling and the pick up. Fast car.
