"Not sure why there aren't alot of CTS 3.6L for sale out there...either I'm cutting edge or not so smart. Wanted the 3.6L engine, so finally found a Premium with a lot of bells & whistles. Very cool looking car, fun to drive - love the heated steering wheel on cold mornings! Also have the Recaro seats which take some getting used to - but reasonably comfortable. Couple complaints - that transmission thing...soft steering (not as sharp to react for a premium sport model) and the so-so gas mileage. Impressive looking and a fun car to drive."

"Have owned our Cadillac CTS Coupe now for a couple of months. Took a while to learn all the bells and whistles. This car is a dream to drive, handling and comfort is great. Lots of pep when you need it. This car has spoiled me as far as any other brand is concerned."

"Love the styling inside and out. Excellent gauges, radio controls. Love the articulating headlights that lead me around the corners. Beautiful oversized sunroof. BUT, THE FRONT SEATS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SITTING ON SOME BLEACHERS. THE SEAT BACKS ARE HORRIBLE. IT FEELS LIKE YOU BACK IS AGAINST THE SHORT EDGE OF A 2X4. For this reason alone I am sorry I bought it. I am currently looking at a XTS."

"Purchased my CTS coupe 5,000 miles ago. Beautiful car. One of the best looking in years. But looks can be deceiving. The transmission has a terrible shift that Cadillac acknowledges, but says there is no repair. When you are slowing to approach a stop or light and do not make a full stop, then accelerate, the car makes a terrible jerk. So bad that my wife thought it was me and said quit that. Cadillac calls it a 'vacuum gap'. I have other words for it. It is really strange that Cadillac has a name for something they say isn't wrong and is acceptable??? This is the second, and last Cadillac I'll purchase. Cadillac headquarters simply states that there has not been enough complaints to warrant a repair. Wow. Don't buy a new model if you want repairs. It is really a shame since it is such a beautiful car, but looks can be deceiving. Save your money and try another brand."
