Used 2018 Cadillac CTS Consumer Reviews
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.
Great Cruiser
I like the Cadillac CTS , but I fine the seats not to comfortable, during seating in the driver seat I fine it hard. The noise level is high at time depending on the type of road surface your on. Good gas mileage, cruise control works good. Overall It's satisfactory except the seats are hard to deal with driving long distances.

Another great Cadillac!
Bought this used 2016 Cadillac CTS last November. It has all the bells and whistles from heated steering wheel and 3 drive modes to pre-set climate controls, moonroof and a good CUE system (despite people always saying it leaves more to be desired). Plus, the exterior design with vertical LED running lights is an eye-catcher. Sheer fun to drive! Time for 5 stars as I just took a 600+ mile road trip through some rain/sleet/snow conditions in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. What a joy to drive!

Very Disappointed
Found the new Luxury Cadillac CTS 4 (all wheel drive) disappointing. As usual still rides the same as 25 years ago. Noise from tires, exhaust, engine come right through with the stereo set on low, requiring music to be turned up. Lacks innovation, and technology, poor aero dynamics causing poor mileage. Very heavy for no obvious reason except they're stuck in 90's. Mercedes comes out with touch shift, GM will have to copy it. Lexus are perfectly quiet on the inside, Cadillac has yet to copy. Just seemed like a poor performance from all angles with little innovation. I will go with Mercedes or Lexus over this manufacturers offerings. Priced at 65,000 and told it rides like a Cadillac. If you want poor quality still from a U.S automaker. Test drive after driving a lexus or Mercedes and you to will be disappointed in a Cadillac just as I was. Probably be another 15 years before I give them another chance with such poor planning and innovation.

My 2016 CTS
I don't like the auto stop in the cold weather, the car doesn't warm up. I don't like the cruse control the way it works.
