Used 2009 Cadillac CTS 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
GREAT CAR
My first American car in 30 years and I finally have a car I'm happy to say is as good as my Lexus, BMW and Mercedes I've had in the past. I hope GM keeps up the good work.
Bad
I bought this car 3 years ago and it has so many problems that it's been parked for the last year and a half. Carfax on it said zero accidents one owner and I bought it with 99,000 miles on it, first thing I bought in the middle of winter and I never checked the air conditioning, found out that it never worked, about a year later it started having overheating problems, then I found out that the all-wheel-drive wasn't working properly, and when I finally parked it the the whole cluster of the dashboard stop working couldn't tell how much gas I had in the car or how fast I was going and it just blinked at me like a strobe light. I hope to never have to deal with a caddy again. It's been 5 years now I put about $6,000 into the car and it still doesn't work.

It's Just a Pretty Face
Bought the car new in October 08 and just traded it in. This car was in the shop more than it was in my driveway... from rattles and squeaks to engine lights and a replaced transmission... the car looks great - but build quality is very poor. And GM/Cadillac apologized but were unwilling to step up and make it right (I repeatedly requested a replacement vehicle and I didn't want to go through the lemon law - nor should I have had to with this "flagship" product). I wanted to buy a GM with this purchase to help the cause... but they did nothing to reward my loyalty. Very disappointing all around. The car did look good while I had it!
Competing with the Germans!
I have owned many many cars, mostly German and some Japanese luxury brands, this CTS is my first US luxury sedan in 25 years! It certainly competes well with all those brands, but with all the incentives and employee pricing, value ratio was the best of them all. In fact, I traded in my 2008 BMW 335i twin-turbo coupe shortly after for another car!
Would not buy this car again
The car is advertised as getting 18 MPG in the city but I'm only getting between 13 and 14. Am thoroughly upset about this.
