Cadillac CTS
The Cadillac CTS, which first appeared in 2003, marks a significant shift for the American luxury brand away from the large, soft cars of its past and towards more distinctive and athletic models. That's readily apparent as soon as you lay eyes on the CTS with its sharp lines and chiseled profile. The midsize Caddy backs up its good looks with an engaging driving experience, particularly the high-performance CTS-V variant, which boasts a supercharged V8 with exhilarating power. However, the CTS isn't without a few shortcomings. While its cabin features upscale materials, it does not offer the level of sophistication or refinement found in some European rivals. Also, its rear-seat and trunk space are a bit limited compared to class leaders. Furthermore, some find its CUE infotainment system occasionally frustrating to use, especially in older examples. Buyers should note that Cadillac replaced the CTS with the all-new CT5 in 2020.

2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe (6-Cyl)
The 2014 CTS COUPE should still be made - much better than the 2015 ATS COUPE.

2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan (6-Cyl)
This car is everything I thought it would be and I am very satisfied with my purchase. It would be nice if the driver's side front seat memory recall positioning would take place with the connection of the seat belt rather than when the car is started. It is hard to hold down the brake pedal to start the car when the seat is all the way back. Lexus has this feature.

2014 Cadillac CTS Sedan (6-Cyl)
It's a great vehicle but one major issue is the use of run-flats. They are heavy, have a harsher ride and noisy. I had GM replace mine with non-run-flat Michelins that are great. I bought a pump and repair kit. The original Pirellis that came with the car do not have any warranty if bought from tire rack. That says a lot. I owned a limo company and can swear by Michelins. MY Lacrosse had 67k miles on the Michelins when I traded them in and the tires looked like they could go another 20k. This from tires with a low tread wear rating of 300.

Radio controls not responsive have to press buttons twice and sometimes buttons on the radio interface do not operate what they are intended to ie if you want to change AC settings buttons have to be pushed repeatedly up sometimes becomes down entire interface needs work.
