This car has had some gremlins in the first month of ownership. MAP sensor tripped at 15k. Crankshaft Position Sensor relearn came on and can only be relearned with a GM tech II or similar scanner. Then the power steering light comes on and power steering switches to manual. Once you restart the car, it comes back on, but has gone back off again. Of all things, this is concerning and dangerous if it occurs during a turn. Hopefully my mechanic will figure it out and I can get some miles on this beauty. I will update this review. I know...I know... many say they will, but don't. I will however. As far as how it drives: this car moves well for a 2.0 and has all the power I am looking for. gas mileage is decent for a heavier AWD car. It corners great and hugs the road with little body lean. Of course, the suspension is stiffer, so you're not going to get the traditional floating Cadillac ride and will feel more bumps, but it's not bad. The cornering makes up for it. You can even adjust it some. The CUE system is not hard to figure out and so far works well. 2014-15 versions though can't upgrade to Apple Play or Android Auto via the dealership. There are people who claim to do it with a $750 upgrade on Ebay, but I'll just use my phone in a holder. I wish they had the adaptive cruise avail on the Luxury version, but the Lane Assist is nice. So....while it hs many of the bells and whistle, power and styling I want, the main thing is will it be reliable. Reviews don't indicate it will have engine or tranny issues but I'll see what happens with the electrical gremlins before saying this is a great car. Ok...here is my updated. No issues with the car. Love driving it so much, I sold my Town Car, as I found myself only driving the CTS. Nice power, fair mpg, nice interior, very comfortable. Very happy with the car.

Cadillac...The Standard Of The World...Again

Owned many Cadillacs over the years and they continue to get better and better. As much as I consider trying another make next time around, they come out with something new to reattract me. Contrary to some opinions, my Cadillacs never go to the shop unless its for an oil change, covered by Cadillac. The CTS was leased for 39 months and is coming to an end. I have 45K miles on it and the fancy electronic glove box needed to be fixed recently. The CUE system, which has had complaints since its release, was replaced once by Cadillac. Apparently the fingerprints on the screen get embedded due to the heat but was replaced under warranty without concern. I have owned Mercedes BMW Infiniti...Cadillac seems to outshine all around in looks and reliability. Its a shame they arent getting credit for being as good as they are...

I love my base CTS. The 2.0L Turbo four and six speed is great. I am very happy I missed out on the 8-speed in the '16 up as well as the standard auto stop/start as I have had loaners I didn't love. Sad I had to go aftermarket for a backup camera in the base trim though that is now standard for '16 and newer. My biggest issue is the resale value. It is much like an Audi as the bottom fell out of the value right away and I haven't caught up with my payments yet. That said I'm not mad about this as I love the car and wouldn't replace it except for maybe an ATS-V with a standard transmission in a year or two.

Great luxury sedan

I traded a BMW 3 series for the mid size CTS . I enjoyed my time in the BMW. The caddy handling is very close to the e90 handling and better than the handling of BMW F10 platform. I purchased the car on its merits fun to drive, superb performance, luxury and dealer support. The car has performed flawless for the first 13,000 miles. CUE has a learning curve but so did gen 2 idrive. The CTS is a goid value as noone is paying the sticker price.Forget the GM bashing this is a great car.

Not Dad's Caddy

I have not bought a US made auto in over 20 years and did not plan to do so now. Considered Audi, Infiniti, Acura; also Mazda and VW. None could touch this car for sheer value for the money, features, comfort. But, Big surprise, it rides and handles as well , I think better, than Volvos I've owned or Audi, Acura. Lots of comfort, much more style, Its a better car and I expect will be far less costly to won than the German makes especially. I also own a Corvette (been a vette owner for years) so I know what good handling, acceleration, braking should be like.

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.

Great buy 2015 CPO

I bought this car for just over $30,000 with just 15,000 miles on it. It was an outstanding by for what I got for the car in terms of content and like new condition of the car. CPO warranty outstanding. So far great value and plan to buy Cadillac again. I have owned recent model BMW 528’s and they were a reliability and mean it’s a bear compared to the value and reliability of this car. This is truly an under estimated and underappreciated luxury sport sedan.

Not happy with 2015 CTS

I traded a 2008 CTS with a 6 cylinder engine for a 2015 CTS with the 2.0 turbo. I liked the 2008 but the front seats were very uncomfortable. The new one with the turbo I don't like. It is noisy and jerks a lot when the turbo comes in. Also the CUE system is horrible. It is not at all intuitive and takes a while to get used to. Next car will be a Hyundai Genesis.

Comfort and styling are this vehicles strong point. Power isn't bad considering it is a 4 banger. It is a beautiful car at a reasonable price. This car screams prestige. 5 stars, I so love it.
