I've been looking at the '08-'09 Cadillac CTS as a new daily driver. I like the AWD with the 3.6 DI engine. Prices on these seem to be pretty reasonable right now even on low milage cars.

I like it on paper, and I liked it on a short test drive. But I don't know anyone who owns one so I thought I'd see if anyone here has one and what they think of it and if it's been a reliable car. The only thing that scares me about a car like that is all the gadgets. It just seems like more stuff to break. But some of the gadgets are pretty cool.

Anyway, if you have any experience with this particular car, I'd like to know what you think.

Thanks,

Well, I have two friends who each own Vs. One just drives it as-is, buying it heavily-used, the other, with a much later version (the SC version) has heavily-modded it (It appeared in an issue of GM high performance mag). Both love them. The only other complaint I heard was from the guy with the really used one who displayed some of the wear and tear that seems to normally happen to the dash controls (paint and labels wearing off pretty quickly).

I'd have one if I could swing it. But my wife and I both cringe when asked to spend more than about $5K on a used car.
