Nimble handling and tight steering. Quick response. Smooth shifting transmission. Power engine sound. What more can you want? Handling, horsepower, responsive, sounds great, looks great, and still 27 mpg. Hands down -- best buy on luxury sports sedan out there....
Great Car to Own, But distructive side air bags!

We loved this car and it and would recommend owning it to others. It is a great feeling, handling and looking car. The fuel economy and value far exceed expectations. BUT if your side airbags deploy like ours did when a pair of deer ran into the side of the car, the interior of the vehicle virtually self-distructs in a live saving role and totals the vehicle interior with 5K to 6 K in damage plus labor including locking down the seat and seat belts, and that is without deployment of front airbags. The side impact we recieved left the car both driveable and the doors openable but dented and knocked out the front head light. But the side air bag deployment essentially made a case for Total Loss in insurance on vehicle with no frame, engine, electrical, power train or other auto body damage. 3500 in exterior parts and labor to fix the exterior but 12,500 in damage from the side airbags deploying. Please someone remove the hair trigger on the side airbags!

Dream Car Nightmare

I am so disappointed with my car that I can hardly stand to drive it and am considering simply not paying for it anymore. I spent months reviewing the car and even got advice from a coworker who has the car and is a GM family member. It has been one issue after another and is constantly at the dealership. I finally had to go to GM and threaten to stop paying for it to get their attention. After repeated trips to service, I had to use my phone to film a problem that I still have with the stereo sound not powering up. The front end shakes and is out of alignment again, it idles to high and the transmission feels rough and can be felt in the gear shifter. Dealer service quality is very poor.
Enjoying this car.

I was given this car as a "loaner" from a dealership and was sold after the first mile. Bought this used in 2017 and the vehicle had 78K. 3.6 DI with all options. Bose and XM sat radio awesome Heated and cooled seats awesome Cornering and handling. Stays flat in corners awesome Performance takes off and passes with ease. Cabin is quiet and clean. Original tires. Black paint in good shape. I think one needs to be careful in selecting a used car. A car driven hard for 20K miles may have a lot more problems then a well maintained easily driven car with a lot more miles. Problems: Bluetooth will not play music from my phone. But will allow phone calls. Needed a battery. Sunroof is a little noisy. 2009 computer is lags. That is all folks. Not my daily driver. still has original tires Ha! I keep it shiny. Amazing that this car gets a lot of attention as folks think it is worth a lot more than it is. Will upgrade in 2 more years to another CTS

Transmission Failure - Unhappy Owner

Expect this from your dealer and cadillac. If your automatic tranny fails like ours, cadillac will have you wait two weeks for the parts and a failed attempt to rebuild your transmission at least twice before they deem it appropriate to replace the transmission. Our new CTS spent 20 days of the first 29 days of ownership in the shop. As a "valued" Cadillac owner you'll spend dollars for nickel and dime service. The new "GM" is just as bad as the old "GM" or worse. No matter how great the car looks or drives, you won't enjoy ownership if you're treated like this. I do have regrets about buying a Cadillac. Chances are, you will too. Shame on you "Cadillac"!
