Beautiful Cadillac CTS 2017

Cadillacs are the only car I buy so I’m a bit biased. The black metallic 2017 CTS wig the black interior is absolutely a head turner. There isn’t a day that goes by that “she” doesn’t get multiple compliments. If you want a beautiful car that outclasses the vast majority of the other rides out there, the 2017 CTS will do it for you. Great to drive as well. Only thing I’m getting used to compared to my previous CTS which I still love and drive is the steering isn’t as precise. Still good but definitely different.

ROAD NOISE

recently took the Cadillac CTS on a 1000 mile road trip and mostly interstate and city driving. First styling is what i would expect from Cadillac in and out. At times though the road noise was so loud that it was hard to carry on a conversation. If that could be corrected it would be a great car.

Everything on this car is solid,handles like it's European rivals ,if not better. My 4 banger hits all the right notes,exhaust note and...32mpg on the highway. The power delivery is right on par with all the expert reviews!

The seats do not vibrate during lane depature. Other than that, this is one neat car. Good gas mileage, great ride for a car this size. Wish Cadillac would fix the vibration thing.

Been That - Done There

I traded my well liked Audi A6 in on a Cadillac CTS on the advice of a friend who owned one. He's still my friend but I am no fan of the Cadillac. The 4 cylinder 2.0 turbo sounds like it belongs in a Chevrolet Cruz and the often experienced "turbo lag" explained away by the dealer as "just how turbos are". Terribly disappointing. The info system is a joke - you're lucky if you don't wrap yourself around a pole trying to operate it while driving. And the run flat tires - when it's cold it feels like your driving on 4 blocks of ice. To add insult to injury the tires only lasted 17,000 miles. Handling was ok but not great as was cabin noise. The heated/cooled seats did neither very well. The Bose sound system is very good and about the best thing on a very mediocre and disappointing vehicle.

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.

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.

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

Love the interior, drives good, not very spacious but it's only me and another riding along. Like the acceleration, have the 3.6.
