REPLACING FRONT LIGHT COSTLY

WHY WOULD ANYONE DESING A CAR WHERBY WHEN U CHANGE THE HEADLIGHTS YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE BUMBER THIS COST ME OVER $300 FOR A MECHANIC TO TAKE OFF THE BUMBER AND REPLACE $20 WORTH OF BULBS. I CHANGED THEM ALL JUST NOT TO HAVE TO PAY IT AGAIN. BUYERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS

Love the car

I bought this car because it was four wheel drive and I live in the northern states. It drives so much smoother than any other four-wheel-drive that I've driven, especially truck. The interior is very luxurious and the controls are easy to reach. I'm only getting about 25 miles to the gallon with a 3.0 l, which is a little less than I was hoping for, but again it is a four-wheel drive. Overall I'm very happy with the car

Supercharged V8 in a wagon?!

I love my 2011 CTS-V Wagon. I've owned it for 5 years (55k miles) at this point and daily drive it and plainly put, its awesome. There isn't another vehicle in this price point that offers the same performance/utility. While it hasn't been as reliable as the previous Lexus' I have owned, all the issues have been minor to correct. Only qualm is I wish for a bigger gas tank so I could get more than 250 miles between fillups (mixed driving), past that I have no intention of replacing it in the near future!

This car put Cadillac back on the map.

I've owed this car for the last 3 and half years. When i first seen this car i was amazed at the styling just gorgeous to look at women and men both love this car. I was looking at the new Lincoln continental thinking maybe its time cause i have a bad back and its hard to get in and out of this Caddy I'm 6 foot 2. Took it to a few Upholstery shops and because of the heated and cooled seats they just can't really do anything without taking the vents out and no longer being able to use the heated. Got a chance to drive the new Lincoln on their date night offer for free for a night and still got more people asking me about this Caddy coupe instead. Knock on wood grain i haven't had any issues with this car just regular oil changes and up keep. The brakes for my taste might have been a little bit on the ehhh side. Handling is a A+ NO DOUBT, for my heavy foot the 3.6 engine wasn't enough to keep up with this tranny but than again I'm picky. BUT when you get this car to 3000 RPM's this thing will go. For as heavy a car as this is its amazing how light it feels weaving in and out of lanes with such ease. Sadly my needs have changed so I'll prolly have to sell this beauty but i def enjoyed my time with this car. So if your a big guy this probably isn't the car for you but what great value if you're getting this used. If you're looking for a weekend car to cruise in this is the car pull up to a nice steakhouse and people will say niceeeeeee car.

2011 Cadillac CTS 4

Bough vehicle in 2013 with approx. 23,500 miles on it. Was pricey at the time, but worth it. Always got compliments on vehicle . The color is pearl white so it stands out even from other Cadillacs. The engine was a V6, 3.0L so it has a nice response, I would not say the acceleration is super fast, but it picked up pretty quick. The ride is really super smooth and comfortable. Its a weekend only vehicle so I'm only driving in surface streets; when I drive on the weekends, I feel like I am just out cruising. Its awesome!
