  World Class CTS - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By Steve S - March 10 - 9:29 pm

  The CTS is by far the best riding vehicle I have owned. The Styling is second to none. The CTS handles well at all speeds. Drives extremely smooth and very quiet. Excellent Quality. This car is best in class. Looked at all the competitors, CTS beat them all in price and value. GM did a great job with the CTS I highly recommend this vehicle.

  After 2months and one 1600 mile trip! - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By Skip - February 20 - 12:01 pm

  I traded in a small economy car with no extras except power steering and brakes. My wife drives a 2004 RX330, so I do own something to compare the CTS to. The CTS was purchased during the red tag sale. I have never been more satisfied with a auto purchase. The price was right and the salesman and dealership are right up there with the Lexus dealerships that I have had experience with. The engine is a dream, the ride is super, the handling is excellent, including a tight turning circle. My wife and took a 1600 mile trip over a three day period (24 MPG). 700 miles each day going and coming back. We were never tired and had a ball learning to use XM, nav and OnStar. I love this car!

  No more imports for me - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By Acuranomore - February 16 - 7:15 pm

  I got the AWD DI w/premium option pkg. Performance, technology and luxury that competes well with the German and Japanese lines. I was very surprised when I first test drove the CTS and was sold almost immediately, but I did the requisite amount of research and became even more impressed as my knowledge of features increased and did side-by-side comparisons with the competition. Also, the dealers are entertaining at or below "invoice" offers (in addition to the factory rebates) while the Japanese car dealer smug mugs still have the gall to talk sticker price! I really think Cadillac has made a good come back. I will update this review in about 6 mos.

  Good Looking - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By drjohnson - February 5 - 11:35 am

  This car looks hot but has a few quirks. Its hard to see out of, isnt as roomy as it looks, and sometimes has trouble starting. The DI engine either just doesnt like sub zero temps or is plain tempermental, but on occasion, Ive had trouble firing this baby up. Having said that, the AWD is awesome. This car handles better on slick roads than my V8 suv. It looks great and is overall pretty cool. The most annoying thing for me is the telescoping steering wheel. It is quite bulky so that my knees constantly bang into it, and Im an average to small guy. But, shes a head turner and the Black Cherry color is awesome.

  Best in Class - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By LScanlan - January 13 - 2:24 pm

  I had been waiting for the right time to buy a CTS and when GM offerred the employee pricing promotion I jumped in. Didnt have to negotiate because the price was right. Although I wasnt planning to, because of the price I bought a fully-optioned DI mode. Wow. What a car. I traded in my 6 year old S-Type Jag for the CTS. Electronics have sure come a long way since the Jag was new. Now I have all the toys in a solid, powerful, beautiful, and moderately priced American vehicle that I can have serviced anywhere. If all GM vehicles were designed, built and equipped like the CTS, GM would rule the automotive world. This is a fun car to drive and a quite haven from road noise. Good job GM.

  Way to go Cadillac - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By ldw3 - December 30 - 8:17 pm

  Cadillac did an outstanding job with this new CTS. I was in the market for a new mid-size, luxury car for my wife. She drives 120 miles round trip to and from work, and this Cadillac fit the bill, with more luxury than we were expecting from a car costing $40 grand. We got the car with the Premium Luxury Collection, and my wife just loves the heated and cooled seats, the interior is as good as those cars costing twenty thousand dollars more. This car handles as good as any BMW or Lexus. The feel of the ride is almost as good as those high end luxury cars but just a bit hard with the sport pkg and 18 inch wheels, but not enough to make me look at any other make. Very good car.

  22 Year Old Son Gone Nuts Over My CTS! - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By Jacques T - December 27 - 10:00 pm

  Need we say more. First time ever my son showing off our Caddy! Quiet and quick acceleration, pretty impressive! My God how come the CEOs are begging Washington for the money? This car is real good for us. Would not surprise me if this car saves GM alone. Zero complaints.

  Great Vehicle - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By GoBeta - December 26 - 7:56 pm

  Just bought this vehicle after extensive research, including BMW 335i, 535i, Infiniti M35/45, among others. This vehicle was the best value from a features & performance per dollar standpoint. The BMWs had a slight edge on drive experience and handling, but not enough to warrant the higher price and sacrifice on all other features. The technology inside the CTS is incredible, with only a few annoying exceptions (see below). I am very happy with this car and look forward to driving it every day. It has great curb appeal and is a vehicle that makes you feel great when driving it. If you like music, then youll esp love it. Between the ipod interface, 40G hard drive, and XM, you cant ever run out.

  GMs hard at work - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By kwbaron - December 20 - 5:25 am

  These are concerns expressed on this blog that no longer exist in this vehicle. Flash to pass is on this vehicle and it works with the HID high beams, I believe an industry first. Bluetooth is standard. It is now impossible to step on the brake and gas pedal at the same time. There is a single address book for the Bluetooth, navigation and OnStar systems. I compaired this vehicle to a Infinity 37x, Acura TL, and Lexus GS 350. All are excellent vehicles. Only the CTS DI AWD has the interior luxury of the Lexus (done in the distinctly GM style), the performance and efficiency of the direct injection engine (it runs on regular gas) and handling characterics of a European sedan.

  First American car ever in 16 years - 2009 Cadillac CTS
  By cts fan - December 12 - 11:40 pm

  I have had Toyota, Honda, Honda, Mini, Scion, VW and Honda. This is my first upgrade into the luxury category and I was thinking of a Lexus until I drove my new CTS. This car has it all. Looks, design, comfort, fun factor, reliability and safety. And did I mention looks!. I absolutely love it so far. It is just amazing.
