Great car to drive. It does have reliability issues though. Transmission and some electronics were troublesome.

After 130,000 miles, it still runs well. I have changed the oil and performed the routine service per the manual. I had one major repair that cost $2,500 a few years back with a radiator issue. America finally built a reliable luxury car. After 148,000 no new mechanical issues. Still runs great. It does have some light cosmetic issues from a hail storm.

My beautiful 2011 cts was totaled. Wanted close to what I had, so I bought the 2012 as a replacement! Interior the same as my old one, and in great shape! Exterior is a pearl color. Really wanted black, but this car had low mileage and is in great shape! Like the discount I received from Edmunds! No haggle, just paid the asking price! It is now September 2020, still love this car! Just a note about the CTS made between 2011 and 2013. These vehicles have a defect in the power train. The bolts back out and break off, which means you could loose you transmission. I was told by the dealer that the problem had been fixed on the 2012. Wrong, I heard something rattling around under the car in 2019. Took it to the dealer and guess what the bolt had backed out on this one too. I had purchased a warranty so no problem getting it fixed. When I get a oil change I always have them check the bolts on the powetrain. Other than that defect its still a great car! I have now owned this car for over 3 years! With regular maintenance, this car runs and continues to drive great! 90,000 miles and counting!

This is a driver's car. I love to shift it manually on twisty bits. The steering response is great. The only big negative is interior space. It's pretty cramped for a car of this size.
