CTS - Stop Ignoring It!

I have 86,000 miles as I drive on sales calls from GA,NC,SC,OH,KY,WV and had owned/rented Buicks, Taruses, Mercuries, etc. This CTS is the most comfortable; and gas sipping at 31 - 33 mpg at 70 MPH al day! What galls me is how the researchers continue to ignor the CTS when comparing it to it's peers. I will stick with the 6 cylinder; but will get yet another CTS!

CTS is really a Chevy

This car is more than a disappointment. I have had over 40 new cars and this is one of the worst. The car cannot stay in alignment and already have had six new tires in 10K miles. The car is noisy and the whine or howl in the transmission is getting worse. The dealer says it is comes from the rear end and Cad has no fix at this time. I have a 2004 Toyota Solara and a Lexus and they both put this car to shame. GM must do better to keep my business.

I have only had this car a week, but already I am hooked. I feel that the CTS is a great model. It has a lot of luxury, great appeal, lines to die for, and smoth as silk handling.

A great alternative...

This is a great alternative to the usual suspects (3-Series, C-Class) with stand-out styling and performance to match. Cadillac really got this one right. The engine is flexible with lots of torque AND loves to rev. 5-spd auto is so smooth. This car has great turn in and response to input. It's roomy enough for two kids in car seats in back. I love the styling, although I know this is polarizing design. I've gotten lots of "thumbs-up" and compliments in parking lots. Growing up with imports, I decided to take a look as I'd heard great things about CTS. I could not be happier with my vehicle choice. RWD is back and I'm lovin' it!
