Most under rated car. Shouldn't be a Cadillac

Unfortunately it's a Cadillac. It should be a 4 door Camaro or Corvette. Because it's a Cadillac young professionals will never know how spectacular this car is. They're too busy buying BMW's. They should. Cadillac generally equals Gray haired old folks. With the CTS and ATS they couldn't be more wrong. These Cadillacs are not marketed very well. Truth is they are amazing on road track cars. 5 link rear suspension. Spectacular steering dynamics. This car belongs on a track. Even the "cheaper" 2.0T with 300lb ft of torque. It's on par with Subaru WRX and Ford ST. Unfortunately Cadillac doesn't market these models well. They should build a 320Hp 2.0T with a V-sport badge and all the body cladder. Price it aggressively. Market it on the Drift circuit. Get young people excited about it.

Why do People Call This An Old Person Car?

For starters I love this car. I am a 23 year old who has always loved fun sporty cars. The CTS with the 2.0t feels fantastic with smooth acceleration and instant torque. The build quality is great and still holding up over 70,000 miles without any annoying rattles or loose interior bits. I used my CTS as a daily commuter over the past year and have taken multiple 1000 mile+ road trips. The car is decently comfortable and handles amazing going down the road (especially with magnetic ride control). I live in Michigan and I have had no problems driving through snow or ice with the AWD and Pirelli P-Zero near all seasons that are on it. My biggest complaint with this car is the transmission. The 6 Speed auto shifts fantastic when you are doing more spirited driving, but when cruising through traffic at light throttle it can be a little jerky at times. Overall I love this car and I highly recommend it.

14 cts 2.0t blk w blk/morello red interior

The 2014 cadillac cts 2.0t is not as engaging at high speeds as the 3.6 is. At low speeds its fast to respond (0-50). At higher speeds it doesnt feel fast but you will be driving 80mph and not relize it. Handles excellent although in sharp turns it tends to feel like it slows down to complete a turn. I have the premium so every luxury is available which i like. My tall 12 yr old daughter doesnt think tge back is roomy. Im not sure because ive never been in tge back set. The front seats are extremely comfortable. It is a hrad turner on the outside. I didnt realize that it would get so much attention. People love this car. When they see the inside they are in complete aww of tge car. My true only complaint is the cue system 2.0hmi it lags and is sliw and turns off when you least expect it to do so. I will get the upgrade of the nav cue system i hear it way better. Other tgen the cue, this car will make you very happy

At 59, best car I have ever owned

I like manual transmissions. This is the first car where I am glad to have an automatic - an 8 speed silky smooth automatic. Paired with a peppy V-6 engine that uses regular gas this car is a blast to drive. Love all he gadgets in the premium trim level. Love the brown interior. Love the metallic black exterior. Love the 19 inch wheels. The handling is awesome. The CUE system deserves the critiques, but it is workable and after time it becomes second nature. I have leased 3 cars in a row. I bought a 2 year old car with plans to run it 10 years. So far I am very happy with that decision.

Worse than expected

I live in Los Angeles and so I'm on the freeway a lot with stop and go traffic. The engine performs extremely poorly at those low speeds around 15 mph when it's shifting to the next gear. The car always jumps in shifting gear at the low speed. In acceleration, the gears shift fine with no issues. However, as it gets to about 45 mph, it struggles again where you need to really press on the accelerator again. It also has a rough idle, the touch screen isn't responsive at certain spots, the sensors activate when the car is at a complete stop and no car is moving, the sensors in the car will beep for a minute then stop, and backing up if you're near something and are aware and you lift your leg off the brake, the car with do a shuddering self brake scaring the scrap out of you. Overall, not worth the money.

I traded on my '08 CTS 3.6 performance for a '14 CTS 3.6 Luxury with options. I absolutely loved the '08 and this one is even better. The interior materials are well done, rich and luxurious. Car rides very solid, much quieter cabin. Loaded will all sorts of technology. Upon test drive the 2.0T 4 cylinder 6 speed was plenty powerful, packed a punch and will be adequate for most drivers. I chose the 6 cyl 8 speed as was used to and should make driving even more fun.

The car is great WITH a warranty, best looking Cadillac ever made. (Besides the CT6)- Front struts, sway bar and bushings at 42,000. Then at 47,000 engine light came on -fuel pump control Module is then replaced. Now I got it back and the next day my engine light is back on. Going back to the dealership tomorrow.. but great car WITH a warranty haha.
