I like my CTS

I have only had my Cadillac CTS for 22 days, but I already like the way it handles. It has a short turning radius, and I like the way it responds with the speed that I need when I need it. It is a pleasure to drive, a great car.

This is my first Cadillac. I am absolutely delighted with this car. It came with no defects, and rides like a dream. My German friends tell me that it rides better than a BMW. It holds the road, without the extra suspension package. It does not dip in curves. It has terrific road feel, but still is very comfortable inside. It has lots of room for passengers, including tall ones. The CTS has good trunk space. Highway driving is a pleasure and city driving great. With the 3.8L engine it has very good pickup, lots of power under the hood. IT has good acceleration on hills. My gas mileage has been 21.3 overall, which is unexpectedly good. The radio is a dream with 8 Bose speakers. The cooling has separate controls for driver and passenger, more than enough. I'm hooked.

A really Hot Car

This is the first Caddy that I have purchased, and am extremely happy with it. This car trully is a perfect blend between sport and luxury. With the 6-speed manual, you can really have some fun, but when you want to just kick back, you can do that do. Stunning looks, many people turning there head at this car. Standard radio with XM is more then enough, very good power out of 7 speakers. For all those people looking at the cheaper Mercedes or BMWs, check out this excellent American vehicle first, you will not be disappointed.

CTS is a very solid and potent driver. The handling is firm and responsive. The 3.6 L v6 is snappy and gives confidence. Overall it is a pleasure to drive and has a very sporty feel, yet still provides comfort for long hauls.

Not sure what Edmunds say that this car can't keep up with it's competitors. This is an unbelievable automobile. Its fast, handles like nothing else in its bracket, and looks great. Just ask the all the gawkers to look at this car when it passes by. My is car black and black and it looks great. Have 28,000 miles on it with no quality problems, in fact brake wear is fantastic. All in all this is car with no competition.
