This car is the most fun car to drive of all the new cars I bought in my lifetime! The handling is superb! The fit and finish is also the best ever.

Had the car for three weeks. The CTS is replacing a Taurus SHO V8. Thought the SHO was a great car, but the CTS feels more European in character. Drives more like a BMW than a Caddy. Love the eveness of the vehicle during hard cornering or braking, you can really feel the 50%/50% front to rear weight distribution. I am used to the nose-heavy Taurus which is a great car, but no Cadillac.

3.6L Auto CTS

The 3.6L 6cyl auto. Outstanding performance. I have driven the competition, and do not find much of a difference. Seems to be a good blend of its European competitors.

Drove the CTS home to show my husband. I knew he would tease me about considering an "old woman" Cadillac (we were looking at SUVs). He drove it and quickly changed his opinion. What started as a practical joke has turned into an absolute joy! Both of us are just lovin' it.

It handles great in dry conditions, but not in snow, which is miserable. Fuel economy is disappointing for a V6 with VVT. The transmission makes a whinning noise, and the car is known to have issues with trannies. Comfortable, stylish, and fun, but not quality, reliable, or practical. Overall a decent value IF you get it at a cheap price, but I'll never buy another caddy again- HIGH maintenance costs, and not great quality. Get an Acura- 10x the quality for about the same price. Do not even consider if you drive in winter conditions.
