BMW to Cadillac

I'm a fairly young car enthusiast! In my past I have owned many Luxury vehicles, such as Saab, Lincoln, BMW, and other Cadillacs. This CTS is one of my favorite cars. I had a 3 series BMW AWD and loved the car, but after the warranty expired, it was time for it to go! So I bought the CTS preowned with 20,000 miles and the only complaint is the 3.0 engine. Its a great engine, but it lacks torque for those red light accelerations. Interior is superb, exterior is beautiful! If I was to buy this car over, I would look for the same car with the 3.6! But other than that I love my Cadillac!

Have owned a 2011 CTS, 3.6, awd, performance version, for over 145,000 miles and I am very satisfied. The CTS offers good handling, acceleration, ride and decent mpg. I keep up with scheduled maintenance and so far reliability has been good. One compliant is wheel bearings. I've replaced all 4. Other than the wheel bearings I've not had to repair anything else. Also, I think it's less expensive to get work done because all major components are USA / GM based... Trying to decide what I should replace this with but, can't find a vehicle that gets me excited so I'm sticking with the CTS, for now.

Very smooth and quiet ride. My son loves the ventilation in the back and perfect acceleration. Very tough built. Don't look at acuras Lexus or Toyota get the Cadillac cts you will be impressed on a test drive. Doing real estate some of my client have made great compliments on their cts. Drive one.
