Complex cue system, maybe need. Cd tutorial for visual learners, engine designed to stop when brakes applied to stop. Explanation of no spare tire! Passenger door hard to close due to handles too far forward. Transmission seems to shift hard at times, has refused to change when accelerating hard into traffic

Driving my 2016 Cadillac CTS Vsport Premium is nothing but pure joy! I like driving, and to that end I have owned at one time or another Mazda RX-7 and RX-8, 1956 and '57 Ford Thunderbirds, a Dodge Stealth twin turbo v6, and my current Vsport, which tops them all! It is more beautiful, very responsive to every driving sense that I have, and wonderful to drive, both in town and on the highway, AND it can carry up to 5 adults in high comfort. A small, light tap on the gas activates the 420Hp turbo V-6 that will place you a few car lengths ahead when the light turns green, and you didn't even try. Comfort is also king!. It has heated and cooled everything, a heads up display plus multiple choices for dash board appearances, as well as a head's up display so you never have to lift you eyes off of the road. In summary, My Vsport Premium is beautiful, sexy, fast, comfortable, accessories for just about everything. It is a driver's car, and you should go out of your way to drive one!

This is one of the most under appreciated cars on the road. It reminds me of what BMWs use to be. In fact I haven’t had this much fun driving a sedan since my 2001 5 series. If you are into driving dynamics and performance this is the car for you. The CUE system is one of the best infotainment systems I’ve used and gas mileage isn’t bad (27.1 mpg) in suburban driving (conservative driver). There have been no significant mechanical issues. The drive train is fantastic (0-60 4.5 seconds). So if you’re thinking about BMW, Mercedes or Audi look at the CTS VSPORT. If you like Lexus this car is not for you because it’s actually fun to drive. Well I liked the 2016 so much I went out and traded it for a 2019 CTS-Vsport. This was the last year for this car so I wanted the freshest example because I plan on keeping it awhile. The drive train with the Asian 8 speed transmission is exceptional. I think this alone sets it apart from the standard CTS and even the mighty V.

Sunroof makes a lot of noise

We purchased a 2016 CTS And weren't happy we have had a rattling noise coming from our sunroof since the day we drove it off the lot. We have complained about it to the dealership every time we bring it in for service they say they can't duplicate the noise, we drive away and the noise is back! We finally told them to keep the car until it was fixed , they put grease in the sunroof track to stop the noise that didn't work they the put tape in between the tracks that hasn't help the dealer said YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM so I guess we are going to have to take it the way it is. Very disappointed with Cadillac we will be trading in our CAR and getting a BMW

Glad it's only a Loaner

I received a 2016 CTS base model with 4 cyl as a loaner while my 2013 XTS Luxury is being serviced. I love the XTS, the most comfortable car I've ever owned, ad thought about downsizing to the CTS Luxury as i like the exterior. Appearance is great, the interior is basically the same look as my XTS however it is more cramped and the quality is a bit less, but being a downsize from the XTS i was not put off by that. The ride is horrible!! It's like driving an old pick up. You feel every pebble, the engine noise is annoying. The front seat is very comfortable though, I am 6 ft. so had the seat back almost all the way, making the backseat behind me useless. Not a big issue for me, but thought i'd point it out. The biggest problem with this car is the price. They want more for a CTS and my XTS which is roomy, comfortable and rides like a cloud.
