    BEST CAD, THAT G M. HAS EVER BUILT.

    Better then a corvette, I have owned many vetted. The v coupe I own the very best, hands down. Ride, performance, looks, style, they are limited in production, they hold value. Much better. If you break them, and repair needed, BRING YOUR WALLET, NOT CHEAP.

    Lambo Fast with American V8 value and reliability

    This car is extremely easy to drive for being close to 600hp, 20mpg HWY helps even more. Slam the gas and it doesn't stop going. Full Synthetic Oil Changes at the Cadillac Dealers every 10k miles for $50-81 is a steal for this car.

    Unbelievable Car - Love Love Love It!

    My CTS-V is phenomenal. My hubby bought it for me, cause I've wanted one for about 7 years now. It's so fast, but so comfortable, too. So far, it's been a wonderful car to drive. I absolutely love the looks it gets when I drive it. Lots of thumbs up and stares. I just wish I could drive it more. I've only put about 900 miles on it in the last 6 months, because the dealership I bought it from never paid the extended warranty company the money to activate our warranty. Even though we paid the dealer that money 6 months ago. They ended up pocketing our money. I've been hesitant to drive my V too much for fear if something goes wrong, I don't have my warranty as a back-up. So frustrating! Anyway, back to the car. I love the interior, the Recaro seats are so comfy, it steers like a dream, and it feels so powerful. My husband loves his Escalade, but when he drives my V, he has this huge smile on his face. It's almost creepy. I know he covets my ride. Now that I really own one, I never want to be without it. Only negative would be price. Even used, they're expensive. Gotta pay for those horses, baby!
