While steering slowly around a corner it sounds like something is loose? My mechanic said it’s the struts I took it back to the dealer he said a Cadillac dealership will fix it…. They called me a week later said it’s fixed it’s not. The quote for struts starts at a grand, just what I want to do after having this vehicle for two weeks. Thanks for nothing velocity in American fork.

6 cylinder gives you enough power to really get you moving on the road expressway while still being good overall on gas. Love my Apple play feature, heater seats & steering wheel, all of which make that already Cadillac ride a pleasure

Hands down best car I've owned

Looks expensive, and drives like a dream . Every car has its hiccups,but the cadillac CTS 2.0 turbo is fun to drive. The 2018 is probably the most reliable & affordable option for a 2nd CTS owner to buy. I love my 2018 , and as long as you do regular car maintenance the cadillac will do you good. If you want a smooth ride with some cabin noise ( hardly any) that's fast ( everyone is gonna wanna race ya) pick the Cadillac 2.0 turbo . The CTS has all the bells & whistles that look & function beautifully. The panoramic sunroof to the heat/cool leather seats along with the bose sound system you get your money's worth. If you're interested you tube has a lot of videos on the different trim models. Oh also you'll be driving a unique piece of coolness that is not like every car on the road.

Great car ride with major repairs

Love this car’s ride, appearance and acceleration. But no love for the major issues. At 68;000 miles replaced the transmission. Then replaced the differential/carrier , thermostat, and sun shade. I still love the car and hope the major issues are over. I write this as I wait to hear if the newly replaced differential/carrier needs to be replaced after 3 months. Or know why GM does not have 10 year 100,000 miles warranty on drive train.
