My vehicle has been great to own!
I love my car! It drives great and is very comfortable to ride in! I never have any mechanically with my vehicle. I would say the only thing I dislike it that when I need to make repairs or purchase new tires it is costly, especially if you take it to the dealer. I also love the fact that I can use the cheapest unleaded gas in it.

Sleek duo metallic black sedan.
I love my Cadillac it has heated seats, which I love the most because of my back problems. It is all wheel drive all the time meaning it is capable of driving in most weather situations! It has a sleek body design with duo metallic black paint. The motor maybe a 4 cylinder but it has the power of reaching speeds of 70-80 mph. It can easily pass any car!

Cadillacs are great and awesome to drive.
Cadillacs have a long history of reliability and quality this car always performs and has never let me down. It is a strong v8 and has great acceleration. I also feel very safe in it even though it is old. It really is an amazing car, when I buy another car I will. Buy a Cadillac.

The Cadillac cts-v: a car for a loser with something to compensate for!
Getting repairs done is prohibitively expensive, it is spacious and all decked out with top of the line audio and other conveniences. One of my favorite features is the headlights. They are very efficient at illuminating the highway located directly in front of the car.

It is a very expensive vehicle to keep maintained.
This is my baby. I sold my other home to buy it. It is sleek, has really great displacement, and is an all-around great vehicle.

It is safe and it holds it is value.
I do not know what kind of cars my family uses so I just put random answers sorry. I have no complaints about the cars though.

Plan to be in the shop
My God-daughter bought a swanky looking 2012 CTS at the same time I bought my 2012 Tuscon. She has spent thousands on car repairs...something is always wrong:(. Thankfully, I haven't done anything but change the oil in comparison.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Shaleah F.

It runs really good and smooth and is beautiful. The interior is what I like the most about the car. It is leather and black and everything is black and gray on the inside. The tires are really good too. Never have to buy new ones.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Shaleah F.

There are only little cons about the car. For starters I do not like how much gas it takes to feel up. It cost a good bit of money. Secondly I do not like the maintenance we have to keep on it frequently. That is about it.
