I drive about 40k a year so i go through allot of cars. After leaving American cars for German due to my excessive mileage I am glad to be back. I have owned an A6 (too uncomfortable) and a 528i (too unreliable) and came back to GM. Couldn't be happier. The rebates and incentives that I got were amazing and I have to say its nice driving something that not everyone else has on the road (528i). Mine is Opulent Blue and I get the thumbs up all the time.
Still Turning heads, running fine!

Very stylish sedan. This is my daily drive. Bought it new and have owned it now for over 7 years. Still a great ride. Eight-way adjustable leather front seats make the ride very, very comfortable although this is not sink-in comfort seating. Cabin is quiet. Ride is exhilerating. However, living in northern lower Michigan, I did add snow tires to ensure utmost traction in snow on hilly roadways. Mostly drive this in-town so gas mileage hovers around 16.5 mpg, which is not great, but I believe car was originally tuned to demonstrate acceleration, so I haven't been eager to change it. Still receiving comments on the "look" of the car (mine is Summer Gold color) and I enjoy detailing, so the car usually looks quite good. I haven't been itching to trade it in since it's performing so well. I also like the rearview camera view appearing in the rearview mirror instead of the dashboard view I see on newer models.

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.
Small cargo area.

You had better not need much of a trunk, cargo net is poorly designed interferes wit trunk opening. Only fits one set of golf clubs in trunk diagonally. Update at 47000 miles rear end failure and rear axle bearing replacement. Come on Cadillac this is basic stuff!

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...
