The Car So Nice We Bought It Twice

Leased this vehicle for 39 months, liked it so much that we purchased it when it came off lease. Car is fun to drive; suspension gives it great handling for a relatively large car. Interior is nice and very intuitive. We test drove a BMW 3 when we purchased, the 3 is fine but we use this car for family road trips and the back seat and cargo space on the 3 were a joke. Have now had the Cad for more than four years with one minor cosmetic issue which was fixed at zero cost under warranty.

This automobile is very nice. The model I purchased has Luxury Level One. This includes panoramic sunroof, heated seats, electronic climate control, Bose stereo, and leather seating surfaces that are heated at the flick of a button. There are so many options that it is better just to drive one than attempt to list them all here. Very nice quality on fit and finish, quiet interior cabin and safety features to numerous to mention. This sedan came with high end Michelin tires and the ride is remarkable. Cornering capabilities are upper end and even the 3.0 liter engine will provide you with exhilaration that is unexpected. You feel like your doing thirty when you doing 80. I find myself constantly making myself back off the accelerator on the interstate. The car feels nimble driving while you have the security of feeling beefy and strong. I did not buy my sedan for status, I bought it for the performance and architecture. If you really want a car you feel good about this is it. You get so much more for your money with CTS than with its competitors, some of which are over rated because of their high cost. I do not want to bash other brands, as I want to high light my experience with this car. Completely elated and satisfied would be an understatement. Five Stars all the way!!!! It has now been 18 months since I purchased this vehicle. I am pleased to say this vehicle is the best I have ever owned. Great performance and absolutely no problems. Zero defects. What else could a person want? So now it is 2020 and the only thing that has happened to my car is that I had to replace a drive wheel bearing on the front right side which was covered under warranty. We have new Michelin tires on it now. I can safely say this is the best performing low cost sedan we have ever owned. The performing characteristics are a bonus. The paint has held up well and there have been no issues with the electronics, hvac, or door and window actuators. Highly recommend this vehicle. Best buy in second and third year of production with under twenty thousand miles for an affordable purchase. I am now in September of 2021 and CTS is running strong. No major problems and drives just like day one. I have put one set of tires on and replaced one wheel bearing and that is it. I am now in March 2023. I traded the Cadillac CTS to a Cadillac dealer in Huntsville,Al. for 11,000.00. It was very clean with 80k miles on it. Will make somebody a great car. I now have a 2023 Cadillac xt5 PL. It is easier to get in and out of this vehicle. I am older now so that was a consideration. Also sits up higher. Driving is not as enjoyable as it use to be. To many semi trucks and very hard to get rhythm with everybody and their brother pulling campers and 5th wheels. Seems like a lot of people are behind the wheel but doing everything but driving. Concerns me. So I now on Caddy xt5 PL. We are totally happy with it. Got it fully loaded with head up display and all safety equipment. Has a phenomenal surround vision camera function. Safest vehicle I have ever owned!! Very easy to get in and out of. Sits high in the road so you have good vision of all the crazy people doing everything but driving out there!! Driving use to make you feel free and was relaxing. Now it is a complete stress experience. To many cars and trucks on not enough roads. People pulling trailers and campers who are not trained to do it. I have been driving fifty years and it is the worse I have ever seen it. No thoughtfulness, no consideration, no concentration and no planning. I have seen tablets taped to steering wheels doing 80 mph, I have seen dog butts in peoples faces at same speed, phones in ears while those people impede the traffic flow, people eating plates of food and so on. We live in a screwed up time. I had a great time owning my CTS and it would make anyone a great car especially someone younger. Be aware of all the above when you purchase your next vehicle. I can vouch Cadillac makes some great cars and SUVs. This was updated 9/3/2023.

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

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.
