2012 Cadillac CTS Performance 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I've had mine for about a year now. It is AWD Performance package and has the FE3 suspension and 19 inch wheels. While the handling is great with this package, the tires are a bit noisy. The 3.6 is well worth the price premium. The engine really pulls strong in upper ranges. Love the audio system that came with this package. Slightly disappointed with gas mileage, averaging about 19.5 in mixed driving. All highway trip managed to get about 25. CTS still seems pretty popular with older crowds, so be prepared for comments if you are younger and driving one of these.

I am mostly drive Germany cars drive, Mercedes E class and BMW 535i... Had the opportunity to purchase a preowned 2012 CTS with low miles on it...The ride is different...Actually I like the ride..Handles bumps and ruff roads very well...The outside is very Articulate ...It's a bit smaller interior the the E-Class benz and the 535i... The leather seats are harder...Could use a little more padding to make long ride a little more comfortable..Gas mileage in good...The driver front seat is not as comfortable to ride in and the Germany cars...When accelerating..It make this strange noise..Need to take to the dealer find out what that is...Its seem probably the reason the first owner got rid of it...Loving the panoramic roof...Have put about 6k miles on it in the last 3 months I use mid grade gas to get better performance..I still have my mercedes over all the cts was a good choice...

2011 Cadillac CTS Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)

Our Cadillac CTS recently withstood a big buck collision. Airbags deployed, OnStar called my wife (who was alone at the time) to check her status. Within minutes, police, ambulance, animal control, and a tow truck was there. She was 100% FINE...thank goodness. The CTS w/ all-wheel drive is SAFE, handles great in all four seasons, handles well, and (frankly) is a conversation piece among friends. Love it.

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!
