  Quite a nice surprise - 2012 Cadillac CTS
  By big_g - October 1 - 2:58 pm

  I drive about 40k a year so i go through allot of cars. After leaving American cars for German due to my excessive mileage I am glad to be back. I have owned an A6 (too uncomfortable) and a 528i (too unreliable) and came back to GM. Couldnt be happier. The rebates and incentives that I got were amazing and I have to say its nice driving something that not everyone else has on the road (528i). Mine is Opulent Blue and I get the thumbs up all the time.

  Audio System Atrocious - 2012 Cadillac CTS
  By bgk99 - August 3 - 1:55 am

  There are lots of things to love about the Cadillac. The incentives are what got me, the design, the handling, the power... However, ALL of that isnt worth the car for one reason and one reason only. The absolutely complete MESS of navigation and especially the phone system. 1) when you get a call, the number appears on the DASH but the CONNECT button is on the NAV SCREEN and it pops up MAYBE 25% of the time. The audio voice will instruct you to hit a button, but when you do... nothing happens and you will lose calls ALL THE TIME. It CANNOT put your iphone contact list into its system (are you kidding?) and the "hands free calling" is worse than the Prius (which was horrific).

  Not Bad... But - 2012 Cadillac CTS
  By bgk99 - April 17 - 2:32 am

  A 47,000 dollar luxury car for 34,000 with all of the rebates and incentives just blew away the Audi, Lexus and Acura for deals. Ive owned MBZ E350, G35, Porsche 911, Acura TL. So far, its OK and there are little "annoying" things about the car (especially the phone system), but it DOES drive smoothly despite being a "heavy" car. Pick up is "pretty good" but not "excellent" (guess Im spoiled)
