Cadillac CTS (2008-) Review

Category: Compact Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Cadillac CTS (2008-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Striking looks; high equipment levels; decent sound system; a lot of car for the money.

Drawbacks

Unforgiving suspension; cabin quality unconvincing.

Verdict

A bit of an oddball, but might just make sense if you hang on for the diesel engine - or alternatively, the CTS-V.

Review

Used Value2 out of 5

It may have some novelty value, we suppose, but don't expect the CTS to make much of an investment. Used car buyers aren't exactly queuing up for large, fuel-thirsty petrol-engined saloons right now, and those few who are after a second-hand luxury car prefer the German offerings.

We can't help but be pessimistic about residual (resale) values. Other Cadillacs tend to achieve between 27% and 35% of the original price after three years/36,000 miles and we don't expect this latest addition the line-up to be any different.
