OVERVIEW
The CTS is proof in action that Cadillac can build a luxury car in the same league as the best from Europe. Now in its second generation, the CTS lineup has expanded to include sedan, coupe and wagon body styles. The 3.0-liter 270-hp V6 and the 3.6-liter 304-hp V6 offer nearly identical fuel economy at around 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway, so consider the larger engine for added driving excitement if cost is not a big factor. Both 6-speed automatic and manual transmissions pair with standard rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.
Audio and in-car entertainment options include integrated navigation and infotainment system using a high-definition 8.1-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free calling and a 10-speaker Bose surround sound system. The CTS is a good option for those seeking to buy American without compromises when it comes to luxury.
