Cadillac is back! Previous skeptic to loyal customer.
The Cadillac cts is perfect for me and my family! This is my third one, but first brand new Cadillac. It is great in the snow with the all wheel drive. It is also fast when I need it with a 2.0l turbo engine. It has all the new technology and luxury one could ask for. The vehicle is extremely comfortable and provides many conveniences. I love the safety features like park assist and blind spot monitoring. I also love the heated and air conditioned seats. It has navigation as well as a large panoramic sunroof. The remote start and 16 way power seats are great as well. I love my apple CarPlay and nearly everything about the vehicle. A+.

Very smooth ride and great handling.
Great hp and acceleration along with numerous safety features. Sunroof opening is a bit small. Wished it tracked time driving along with miles.

Reliable vehicle with great features.
The gas mileage on my vehicle is great. Especially for people who are trying to save money and for those that travel a lot. The body frame is reliable when it comes to an accident of any sorts. The interior is very spacious and has enough room even for someone who is very tall.

Performance and features of the cts Cadillac.
I have been driving a Cadillac for the pass eighteen years. In 2000 I bought my first Cadillac. It was an Eldorado. I drove it for 8 years with very minor problems, that is because I kept up the maintenance when it was due. I traded in 2008 and bought my first cts Cadillac. The color was black, where as I did not have any major problems, again keeping up the maintenance when it was due. I traded the 2008 and again bought a new 2011 white cts Cadillac. I was pleased in making my decision to buy it. . I kept it for three years and the salesman at the Cadillac dealership called and asked me to come in and view the new 2014 cts Cadillac. It was easy for me to make a decision of purchasing a new one, since I did not have any problems with my 2011. I loved my 2014 cts and kept it until 2017. Again a salesman called me and I go to the dealership and was easily convinced to trade in my 2014 and purchase my 2017 cts. I am still driving it and I am very pleased with it is performance and all of the extra features.

The safety record of the brand!
The way it drives, It's looks, and its style

The spacious feel and the smooth driving is above standard.
As far as comfort my vehicle is top of the line. It is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever been in. It is very spacious and you feel like you fit like a glove in it. I have a standard monitor for viewing parking and it runs super smoothie. As far as problems I have none to be honest. I can rely on my car to perform better than any of my previous cars in the past.

The drive is incredibly smooth.
A great all-around car but it is had a couple issues with components over time. The gas mileage is really good and it is one of the smoothest rides on the road. The intricate functions of the vehicle really help to explore how the car is doing and I feel it is really reliable as I go from point a to point b.

Negative Owner Reviews

It is a safe car that offers affordable gas mileage.
I like the way it drives and the gas consumption is low. I don't like the exterior color and there is no USB port.
accountCircle Amy R

Drives really well, good interior and gas mileage. Fits everyone it needs to and it has enough leg room. It's got a great color interior and super comfy seats. Love the air conditioning and heating systems. Would definitely recommend to a friend all my friends love it!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Lakinje M.

My Cadillac cts v sedan sport is just what it sounds like. This car is everything, a little luxury mixed with a little sporty. It has distinctive exterior style and a unique interior design. The engine is powerful which provides me with a smooth drive.

likeFilled Ted M.

Good ride with satisfactory pickup and reasonable gas mileage. The car has a clean, classic look. The interior is roomy and comfortable in both the front and rear. Good sound system, heating system and air condition.

likeFilled Carlos S.

No dents on the vehicle very clean and fast car. Interior of the car is beautiful with leather seats. Seat warmers, digital screen. I would most definitely this car if you enjoy driving Cadillac. The exterior color is matte black.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Lakinje M.

The cons of this vehicle purchase would be: small trunk, back seating is a tad bit tight, and low quality rear visibility. It also sits a little too low to ground. I would also say that the Cadillac user system take a bit of time to acquire knowledge.

dislikeFilled Ted M.

The car does not handle very well in snowy and icy conditions. There have been a lot of relatively small mechanical problems which though minor, have been expensive to resolve regardless of where I have taken the car to be fixed.

dislikeFilled Carlos S.

Cons is the color whenever you take it to the car wash. For the most part haven't really had a problem with the vehicle. The cts has been one of my dream cars so I don't have really negative things about the car.
