It's really great in winter weather with all wheel drive and is very comfortable to drive. I love the dependability of my car.

I drove Sade, (I always name my cars) for about 8 years with no issues, not one. I kept her maintained and she performed everyday. Her body style still rivals a lot of the newer cars on the road. She now has a new home giving top notch performance for someone else. Now I am looking for another CTS. It will be my third. Love Cadillac and made in the 🇺🇸

I bought this car brand new in June of 2012. The car is great, no repairs yet. I do all the maintenance myself. The ride is so smooth it's like sitting on your sofa. I recommend using the mobil 1 for oil changes. Also the comfort is great and I get many compliments on the look of the car. Best car I ever had. I had a 1968 Cadillac Coupe Deville and ride wasn't as good as our 2012 CTS. This is something new beginning 2019 with about 58000 miles and 6.5 years of ownership electrical issues are drivers door lock stopped going up and down automatically. The seat no longer goes to selected drivers position upon entering or exiting the vehicle. You have to do both issues manually. No big deal, but time to start thinking about something new. Still a great car the best thing about the car are its looks and the diamond white paint job.
