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, This post has been edited by 00 SS: Feb 14 2012, 09:59 PM |

get a CTS-V and put winter tires.
AWD won't help you much if you don't have much traction w/ all seasons anyway... plus, the AWD in the vehicle doesn't lock the diffs... it relies on using braking if any wheel is to spin. I've driven a Suzuki Kasashi AWD... that thing is sweet and not expensive... something to consider if you want AWD. Obviously, there are also Evo's + STI's to consider... depending on budget. |
