It is of premium quality and has everything in it a person needs to be comfortable and safe.
I just wish i could have been able to afford to order it customized exactly to my liking. I just purchased what was on the lot. I really love it though. It's a beautiful and reliable vehicle.

It drives fast and picks up speed quickly. I like that I can get texts and calls via Bluetooth. Sound system is great

Drive your dream car with all the bells and whistles.
It picks up speed very quickly. Handles turns well. Bluetooth connections, hands free calls and text messages. Heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel. Radio and volume on steering wheel. Heads up display on windshield. Rear sensor, parking assistance.

Cadillac with incredible comfort ride and heated and cooling seats.
The Cadillac is a wonderful ride with lots of comfort such as heated/cooled seats. The problem we had was the navigation screen quit working and was a very expensive fix. When you read online, this is a common problem with the Cadillac. It first acts like it is freezing up and then hairline fractures cover the screen. We love the car so much, that we chose the 3, 000 fix.

2016 Cadillac cts luxury sedan.
The cts runs smooth, looks great and the AWD luxury trim has all the comforts you could want. I bought mine as a certified pre-owned, which I highly recommend. For the price you will not find a better vehicle that offers the full-range of features the cts offers.

Drives very fast, great pick up speed. Looks classy.
Has all the bells and whistles, love the look and color, very sporty looking. Don't like that it's close to the ground

The best car for the tires.
It works fine tires need to be replaced but a good car overall. Makes my job easier and getting around, I have had it for a while so it's kind of busted but that is from dirt roads. I would recommend for sure great features all around. I love this car with all the commands and high quality.

Of course the heated seats! The. Interior design is excellent.
The appearance is wonderful, Cadillac is unsurpassed for beauty and luxury. The ride is excellent. However the repair expense is way over the top. We have replaced the brake shoes, rotates. Then there was the motor mounts in a three year old car, I mean, really. We are not hard drivers, most cars we have owned go to approximately 250'000 miles, but this car has not stood up the expectations that I wanted.

I love the body style of the car.
Tires needed to be changed within 3 years after having the car. Make sure you get the right tires that works for the car. It has many features such as heated and cooling seats. Also like the fact you can start your car and unlock your car from your phone.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Raimi G.

Very smooth drive. Nice look. Hugs the rode and very safe car to drive. About 4 years old but still drives new and better than most cars that are out on the roads these days. I love my car I would definitely recommend this car still to anyone who is looking for a used vehicle.

likeFilled Danielle S.

Evrythng. The options are amazing. I love the sunroof, air ride, apple carplay and the 360 camera. Also love the lane departure warnings, heated and cooled seats. Lots of luxury and convenience in the car.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Raimi G.

The only con really about this car is that, it's very hard to find parts for this car when something goes wrong and you're trying to get it fixed. These parts are super hard to find and when you do find the parts they are really expensive as well.

dislikeFilled Danielle S.

None that I would record. Maybe that there isn't a ton of headspace. Otherwise I love everything about it. I don't have any complaints on my Cadillac sedan. I love it. No cons at all to speak of.
