2014 Cadillac luxury drive extra accessories,and extra sporty.
My. 2014 Cadillac is a luxury car. The seats are so comfortable comes with seat warmers, adjust the leg seat for long or short legs. Has a full 2 seat rooftop, has awesome speakers and radio, heated steering wheel, when weather is cold. Love my automatic start button when need to warm up or cool off the vehicle. The trunk is very roomy, back seats are comfortable. Last its drive is comfortable and smooth.

One of the most important things is that the head space is very small.
I love how fancy my car looks and is and the features. I don't like how expensive it is to repair.

Cadillac will always be my first pick!
My car is very reliable. I have never had any major problems with this vehicle since I bought it in 2014. I tent my window and put 2017 ct6 rims on it and it looks beautiful. It ride beautifully and leather is not worn out. I highly recommend Cadillac.

2014 Cadillac coupe. Very sleek and different body style.
I have not had any problems with my vehicle. It is very comfortable and has a smooth ride. Good on gas and runs great. Love it and do not want to trade it in at this time. Very happy with the reliability, comfort and features such as the heated seats and great radio sound.

Most awesome car in the world!
My husband and I love everything about our cts. What I love the most about it is that we do not have to start the car with just the remote. You can just go to the Cadillac app and start the car right from your phone! We also love the navigation system and the heated and cooled seats. There is also a double sunroof and sun protectors on both rear passenger windows and the back window!

Great Car Bad Rear Differential
I have a 2014 Cadillac CTS I have a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty that came with my car from Dealerships. The warranty company will not cover the cost of fixing my car, it clearly shows in black and white that it covers to have this part fixed but they will not fix it!!! I’m very pissed about this why do I have the warranty if they will not honor their warranty....!!!!! I’m thinking about suing this warranty company “Protective Asset Protection“ PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THEM

Review of 2014 CTS Cadillac. It’s pretty but a rough ride.
This car doesn't ride smoothly. It is very bumpy. The radio screen quit working just before 65, 000 miles. Luckily I had an extended warranty that paid for it. The part cost 1000. 00 otherwise. It is a beautiful car though. It rides 4 people comfortably but the middle seat in the back is not comfortable for a trip.

It is a white Cadillac with leather seats and good air conditioner.
It's not the best car I would like to drive. It runs smooth, it has a great color and seats. The air conditioner works fine. Mileage is a little too high. It runs on gas perfectly.
accountCircle George R
Pricey repairs low resale value.
Expensive repairs if going to the dealer not much room for a tall person not very good had mileage handles good on the highway. Resale value for the car is really poor. Nice interior if you get the leather comfortable seats. Had to see card around you cause the car sits do low.

2014 Cadillac cts sedan review.
Performance is good for California but for the snow awful features are great but needs improvement overall good secondary car. Maintenance and repairs can be costly for some tires must be run flats which can be expensive. Also be very careful with low pavement as the vehicle is very low and I have damage the rocker panel pulling into driveways.

Had to change headlights..
It is a nice car and ride smooth. Heat works so it is good for the winter time season. Heated seats and good stereo.

Cadillac CTS 2014 AC and Dash Cue
The dash screen reacts slowly; had it replaced one time due to it not responding. Also had trouble when I hit bumps in the road, it would increase or decrease the radio volume and could only be controlled by the steering wheel column button. The air conditioner did not blow cold; had it in the shop for a second summer they said it was fixed. I took it for a 30 minute drive and it still was not blowing cold after replacing condenser, refrigerant and valve kit. Brought it back to dealer. Challenging for an older person to enter and exit due to being low to the ground. Once in, comfortable and pleasant to drive.

It is fast and furious, rear wheel drive, sits low, black on black!
I love my car. It is fast, sits low, sports look, great road trip vehicle, extremely comfy. Great gas mileage and an awesome sound system built in. It has Bose speakers, Bluetooth connection, CD player, and I love talking on my phone in it. It is sleek on the road and I love to travel in it as well.

I suggest you own one if you don't already do.
Since I purchased my Cadillac cts I have not had no problems with it let me knock on wood. If you have an opportunity to buy one I suggest you take it. There very luxury the leather is great has not had any changes or tears. Like I said if you see one for sell my suggested to you to buy it before someone else does.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Aria P.

American luxury, smooth ride, Cadillac smell, nice perks, great Bose sound system, heads up display. This is my third Cadillac CTS. I love these cars. I also have a panoramic sunroof. Seat heaters and coolers.

likeFilled Chris A.

Smooth drive, good speed, looks good, reliable. Since I bought it I fell in love with this car. The seats fold down to let me use it for multiple purposes, but since it is the performance trim with AWD, it is still fun to drive in both winter and summer.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Aria P.

This is my third Cadillac CTS. The only issues I have ever had with these cars are related to wear and tear on suspension and wheel components. I have never had any engine concerns. Overall, great running car.

dislikeFilled Chris A.

When turning too sharply it tends to skip at the front wheels, which the shop told me is normal. It would be nice if the glass on the sides stretched all the way back. The taillight housing tends to pull away from the body of the vehicle.
