In less than 24 months of ownership car has spent over 6 weeks in the shop being repaired or awaiting parts for a repair. 2008 CTS has had issues with timing chains. Cadillac had to redisgn the part because of high failure rates according to the Cadillac representatives I have spoken too. In addition, I have had persistent keyfob issues, accelerator sensor failures, nicked wiring harness, etc. Cadillac has been less than sympathetic about the LEMON they sold me. The car has been in the shop so often, it probably knows the route by heart.
CTS4 "odd letters & numbers" = superior enjoyment!

I have owned American made cars here in Finland for as long as I had drivers license (that would be from 1998). I had and still have Buick Roadmaster, Riviera, classic vehicles such as 80 TransAM, but this beautiful GM product catched my eyes and thank God I bought it. So it's AWD 3.6 direct injected export unit, including all niceties I ever hoped for (Bose, Navi, Sunroof, Park Assist, 6 speed auto, 40Gig HDD, etc.) It delivers where needed, in terms of winter roadability, acceleration, smooth ride, everything a motoring person would need. Ofcourse the price for this gratness is relatively high fuel consumption (I have about 18L/100km cold winter short city trips, but only over 8L/100km higway). Anyway, this car is a absolute standout of proud American engineering, which I think, is one of a good reasons for ownership. And yeah, one more word; you americans, shuold be buying these instead of Japanese, Korean, German products. Wake up you people!

I bought mine in 2014 with 130000km on it. I'm still driving it in 2019 with 241000km now. My TCS, abs, and scs have been disable due to a sensor in the front hub that has failed. You have to replace the whole hub/bearing assembly to fix it. I fixed the passenger side because of this when I first got it... But it's been years since the driver side went... And I don't really care if any of that stuff works really. I've had to change a headlight. It was a pain because you have to take off the bumper to do it. But oh well I can handle that. It uses about 1/2L of oil in between oil changes which no problem. All's I've had to do was the brakes. Which cost me $400 because I could do them myself. The engine light has been on for a long time now... Probably the cam or crank position sensor. But it starts every time... Sometimes it struggles... But it starts. All in all I've had a great experience with the CTS. The interior is still clean and has zero wear or rips anywhere. Very high quality. Being 11 years old now but it still looks modern. The body styling was far beyond its time. It does not look dated at all. Zero rust. I would recommend this car for sure. It owes me nothing and I'm sure it still has another 100000km in her.

Obviously, not for the obese. A masculine car with the woman in mind.
