145K plus miles (12/21/2019)

2011 Cadillac CTS Performance 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

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.

For less $$ than entry level new Accord, Camry or Altima, I bought a used 2011 silver Cadillac CTS. And I love it! It had 18K miles, looks great. Didn't get the extended warranty (the car still had 11 months of factory warranty remaining). Nice simple yet elegant interior design, exterior looks great too. Radio backup camera are nice. Heat seat warmer works fast as well as the air and heater. Now the new CTS looks even better. I did had a chance to drive the 2014 CTS last year. However, CUE touchscreen was not my thing (hard to touch the right button while driving).

this 2011 cts has been the best car I have ever owned. I love this car but if your getting older this car is kind of hard to get in and out of I have arthritis so its kind of hard in climb in and getting out but once your in its a awesome car. its so easy to drive and so comfortable and very smooth riding.
