The CTS is Cadillac’s entry-luxury sport sedan with four-door practicality.
The rear-wheel-drive CTS feels firm and agile, and it handles like a true sports. The ride is taut, but supple and effectively absorbs bumps. The cabin is quiet. The standard engine is a new 2.8-liter. The CTS-V has a 400-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 engine. Acceleration is quick and the transmission is very smooth.
Its styling is distinctive and its image fresh and reborn.
The Cadillac CTS features a high-tech looking instrument panel.
The CTS still can't match the class leaders when it comes to overall execution and fun behind the wheel. Although pricy the CTS lacks the number of features such as a navigation, a sunroof, a power passenger seat, and a telescoping steering column that all of its competitors have. Some controls are confusing, and details like no passenger grab handle are annoying. The front-seat-mounted safety belts are uncomfortable and burdensome. Reliability is average.
The CTS is built in Lansing, Michigan.
