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.

A few electronic Gremlins, but overall I'm happy

Bought the car with 14k on it. Car is fast with 6 sec 0-60 time. Hugs the road well in turns. Suspension is firmed than my Town Car and my old Caddys, but that is expected. Had some Gremlins with the Map sensor, then the Crankshaft Position Sensor, then the power steering. None of these sensors needed replaced. They would throw a code, which was reset and no further issues. Car has great lines and a sleek look. Interior, I feel like I'm in a cockpit. Getting in/out isn't as easy as my 2012 MKZ or my 03 TC, but it's not bad. The car gets 28mpg on the highway, so not bad. My only regret is I wish the car had the adaptive cruise. Except for that, it is the only bell I didn't get that I wanted. *** Update*** No further issues with the car and it's one sweet ride.

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.

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.
