Not my pappy's caddy
I've owned my '14 CTS 3.6 Premium for a year now and can clearly judge this car. Pros - incredible handling for a sedan, very solid acceleration for NA V6, GREAT braking, impeccable interior (good or better than ANY other mid lux in class hands down) Cons - performance is good, not great (understand it's not the VSport, however), resale value is AWFUL (was intrigued by ATS-V and dealership was going to barely pay off and I got an incredible deal on car...VERY disappointing. Lastly, the sound of the exhaust leaves something to be desired... Overall this car is absolutely fantastic. Handles, drives and feels like a very well put together sporty mid-size luxury and clearly is at level of MB E350 level or BMW 5 series...tested both and CTS beat both out in nearly every level. This Cadillac "move" is only going to get better and I'm excited as I hope I never am interested in a german car again. If I could buy the new CTS-V it would be mine but the price is Porche 911 Turbo level...yikes. Caddy, well done and worth the buy for anyone considering a mid-size luxury sedan. Great car and many people are impressed by the car's beauty and style.

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.
