Great Sports Sedan

2010 Cadillac CTS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I tested a bunch of high end/high tech sports sedans and the CTS just has so much more bang for the buck, than the BMW or Lexus. I got a brand new CTS Premium for $7k of MSRP, and $2k more for my trade than it was worth. Performance is outstanding, tight and very agile. Front seat are very comfy and good support. The back is a little snug. 5.1 Bose sound system is sthe best great sound and lots of power for classic rock. Nav worked flawless touch screen or voice command, even Onstar downloads to your destination when you on the fly. Fit and finish is flawless. Rock solid ride.

Trunk is a little on the small side. The CTS is a beautiful sport luxury car. Lots of nice features and comfortable seats. Enough get up and go and handling to make it fun to drive. I love the body style. Had to replace the front wheel bearings at 85K and the "oil change reminder" won't reset. No other issues.

Did alot of research before buying. Cadillacs offer many options and we got what exactly wanted. We did not settle for something less even though we were tempted by other nice Caddy's. To bad this site doesn't allow pictures of personal cars to be uploaded. We chose Red Tint Coat paint with Cashmere/Tan Wood Trim interior it has a huge Sunroof Update review 09/30/18 Six months later..... Still love the car took it in road trip up north. Ran great took it to Cadillac dealership for service treated us like royalty! I bought this car cuz I always wanted a Cadillac and a heart attack at 56 years old convinced me to purchase! We well worth the wait!

First Caddy

I had read many of the reviews from many sources, and so far my new CTS is living up to them, both good and bad. It's a very quiet and smooth riding car and the styling is awesome, especially in the crystal red color that I have. However, my old $25K, 4 cyl Nissan Altima I just traded in has several things my new CTS lacks: More storage, folding rear seat, much quicker acceleration

Initially, Quite Satisfied

While I have had my vehicle for approximately a week, I am quite impressed with the sheer luxury and design of this American-made beauty. This is my first step into the American-made auto arena, and I must say I am impressed. Having always gone the foreign auto route and most recently coming from a 2007 BMW 328i, I was a bit skeptical about buying American. However, after persuasion from a friend who is a fellow Cadillac owner and the incentives offered on the 2010s, I decided to make the move. I must say at this point in time, I am completely satisfied with my new luxury sedan. The car turns plenty of heads, and I love my Black Raven exterior with Ebony interior. GM, you rock!
