Only 24,450 miles for 2011 car. Hardly driven.

I love the styling especially in the color red. It is very sharp. It has many features plus it was always garaged and never used in the winter.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

This car is over 6 years old and I have had only had one issue which was a quick fix. Drive is comfortable, smooth ride, love the interior and exterior design. Even with the high milage on my car per my inspection everything looked great no problems at all.

2011 CTS-V Review

The car handles extremely well, yet remains comfortable during every day driving conditions. Adjustable suspension feature works well. Very comfortable and roomy interior (Sedan), with sufficient trunk space. Recaro seats are a must, excellent comfort with heat and A/C built in. Acceleration and performance is respectable, over 550 horsepower will get your attention, but again it is tame under normal driving conditions. Understand you will become best friends with your local fuel station, and expect to spend $$ for tires and regular maintenance like brakes, etc. This is not an economy car. Only issues I have encountered are the front drivers seat needed new bushings at 36k miles and fuel door was replaced because it did not function correctly. Both were covered under factory warranty. If you want a 4 door luxury Corvette this is your car.

2011 Cadillac CTS

WOW! What a car! I purchased the car a few weeks ago after test driving just about every car out there including the BMW and Infinity. The CTS is more comfortable with more bang for your buck. Plenty of power in the 3.6 model and handling ranks up there with more well known sports cars. There is a good bit of leg room in the back seat as well. The only draw back that me and my family can find is there is no seat heater or coolers in the backseats.

My birthday present to me.

Reviewed all available info related to 2011 CTS. Already own an 06 SRX. Decided on "Premium" coupe because it has all the "bells & whistles". It is a well crafted vehicle and a truly enjoyable ride. Have received nothing but positive comments from all who have seen it since I purchased it.

Great Car

This is an incredible car. It's all of the things that a wonderful luxury sedan is made of. Beautiful styling, great ride, quiet, thoughtful design and at a competitive price with other vehicles in its' class. I have owned two Lincolns prior to this car and it beats them hands down. I now know why Cadillac continues to be a leader.

Thoughts on the CTS-V Coupe

Extremely powerful. As had been said before, it's "under-tired". But what tire could ever keep grip when you have over 500ft/lb of torque? There's a lot to like about this car, really. It's super fast, super good looking and if you've not driven a Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG - you'd never notice this next point: The steering ratio is too low for a car like this. You'd definitely want, and the car would definitely benefit, from a quicker turning ratio on the front end. It turns, almost like Grandpa's car - way too much wheel rotation required for the turning angle desired. That's my main beef. Ok? To sum up: Brutally powerful, good looks, feels under-tired,mans could benefit from a tighter steering ratio. Definitely. Buy it. You'll love it.
