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.

Good Looking

This car looks hot but has a few quirks. It's hard to see out of, isn't as roomy as it looks, and sometimes has trouble starting. The DI engine either just doesn't like sub zero temps or is plain tempermental, but on occasion, I've had trouble firing this baby up. Having said that, the AWD is awesome. This car handles better on slick roads than my V8 suv. It looks great and is overall pretty cool. The most annoying thing for me is the telescoping steering wheel. It is quite bulky so that my knees constantly bang into it, and I'm an average to small guy. But, she's a head turner and the Black Cherry color is awesome.

Took possession of a new 09 CTS 3 days ago. Chose it over an Infiniti M45X and hoped I would not regret it. So far, so good. This car is a beautiful automobile and fun to drive. I have Black Cherry color and it is loaded with the performance package.Controls are easy to understand much like the 06 Cadillac DTS that I just sold. As far as reliability, I can't comment because I have only had it 3 days. I love driving this car and do not regret going to a 6 cylinder from the 8 cylinders that I have always driven. Way to go Cadillac! Oh yes. A back up camera would be a wonderful addition. My 2009 CTS has the huge sunroof, which is great.

I have had Toyota, Honda, Honda, Mini, Scion, VW and Honda. This is my first upgrade into the luxury category and I was thinking of a Lexus until I drove my new CTS. This car has it all. Looks, design, comfort, fun factor, reliability and safety. And did I mention looks!. I absolutely love it so far. It is just amazing.
