I sold this to Cadillac.

I sold this to Cadillac. It was a very nice ride with lots of Carbon fiber. Almost stock, because i wanted to keep it close to original as i could. Has extra parts n peices wrap in Alcantara that aren't in other Cts-v'3. Always taken to Cadillac for any repairs also. Don't let the miles scare you. I like fun, fast cars but this one was never track or street raced. I just enjoyed it. Only reason i sold it is because i got a GTR for actually going to the track. Hopes this helps with anyone with questions about the history on this one.

Luxury meets Sport. 640+ horsepower

I'm 6'0" and around 225 and this car is comfortable with plenty of leg room. Its super fast and everywhere I go I get compliments on it. Rear wheel drive brings reliability down from a 5 to a 4. Only drawback, but I have a winter car that I drive in bad weather. It's basically a 4 door corvette.

Fun test drive

Took this car for a lengthy test drive. LOTS of power. Point and shoot! I could see speeding tickets in my future if we purchased it. The dealership was proud of this example but similarly equipped models could be had for much less. Look around and find a well cared for example.

Best ride I ever owned

With a flick of a switch, it transforms from an opulent luxury sedan into a blistering missile. It turns heads, with the vacaro seats, it is a pleasure to ride. Too bad they stopped making them.

Very stylish ,comfortable and a total beast!

This car is more than I imagined it would be. Very good looking outside and in. The performance was more than I expected and yet it is super nice to drive in an every day manner. Cadillac really hit a home run.

I am so upset with the 2016 cts v

Every other week this car is in the shop! Some strange noises, a.c. stinks to high heaven, and they are always unable to fix the issues. NOW, I am in the AZ. Desert and my a.c. clutch goes out. They can't order the part here. You would think that spending $80,000.00 on a luxury car, you wouldn't have to fear for your life! I could of been stuck dead center in the desert in 106 weather an hour or 2 before any tow could get to me! Every corner I turn there is some noise going on under the car. Or Brakes need to be done to often.

Cool dad

There's much more to the CTS-V than simple drag strip runs, however. The nasty axle hop and overwhelmed chassis of the previous generation are gone, replaced by a more thoroughly refined car that handles its power with skill and grace. Credit the fact that the CTS is a drastically better car than the one it replaces, but also major suspension improvements and the Magnetic Ride Control that allows for an impressive balance between ride and handling. Adaptable transmission, steering and suspension settings serve to make sure the car is best tuned for whatever driving conditions are being experienced
