I got the AWD DI w/premium option pkg. Performance, technology and luxury that competes well with the German and Japanese lines. I was very surprised when I first test drove the CTS and was sold almost immediately, but I did the requisite amount of research and became even more impressed as my knowledge of features increased and did side-by-side comparisons with the competition. Also, the dealers are entertaining at or below "invoice" offers (in addition to the factory rebates) while the Japanese car dealer smug mugs still have the gall to talk sticker price! I really think Cadillac has made a good come back. I will update this review in about 6 mos.
Phenomenal Ride

Prior to my purchase of this outstanding motor vehicle, I owned a 2003 and then a 2005 Escalade. No vehicle that I have ever purchased even comes close to matching the 2009 CTS! This includes vehicles like Mercedes Benz and Audi. This CTS is absolutely pure fun to drive, gives a feeling of confidence in all driving situations and is extremely beautiful inside and out. People have come up to me and told me that they think that it is one gorgeous automobile.

Just bought this vehicle after extensive research, including BMW 335i, 535i, Infiniti M35/45, among others. This vehicle was the best value from a features & performance per dollar standpoint. The BMW's had a slight edge on drive experience and handling, but not enough to warrant the higher price and sacrifice on all other features. The technology inside the CTS is incredible, with only a few annoying exceptions (see below). I am very happy with this car and look forward to driving it every day. It has great curb appeal and is a vehicle that makes you feel great when driving it. If you like music, then you'll esp love it. Between the ipod interface, 40G hard drive, and XM, you can't ever run out.
Beautiful looking - but has issues

gas guzzler; squealing brakes; oil consumption problem; rumbling in engine when climbing hills; replacement of brake brackets and pad at 4500 miles! Nothing but problems. Shorted out wire; car broke down within 12 hrs. of pick from dealership; had to be flat-bedded back - a big red flag from day one! Gorgeous looking car but many problems! Hard to believe that there is no "low engine" light on the dash board - what were these engineers thinking?
If I wanted a waterfall option, I'd have purchased

I purchased this car with much excitement, I finally owned a Cadillac after 55 years on this planet. I wanted one since I was a little boy. This car has been a nightmare, repair after repair, and never runs without a check engine light coming on after a few miles. The fuel pump melted pouring gasoline over the exhaust, luckily we weren't killed, they recalled all model years up to 2008, I have the 2009, so even though the part used was the same, no coverage, $1600 out of pocket. The exhaust system fell off twice, battery died multiple times, brakes went out, seats and electronics all went bad after the repeated leaks from wherever, 4 inches of water on floor in back seat, trunk with a foot of water, and dashboard where computers and electronics are housed lots like a waterfall when it rains...car is totaled, mold ,mildew, just a mess. The folks at GM do nothing for you, and the dealer could care less, actually offers to sell me another Cadillac, as if that is doing me a favor...Hudgins Chevrolet Cadillac in Williamsburg, Virginia, stay away from them, they don't care. This car was a lemon, never again with a GM product.
