The Good

Love the car. No more problems than any other rig. Dealer is OK but I have to educate him on the V. Its a muscle car, if you drive it hard, stuff will break.

Zero problems so far....I LOVE THIS CAR!

Soo fun to drive.

This car was everything that I expected and more.

Love the CTS-V. ...the car is absolutely one of the best cars i've owned to date. Performance is amazing.Its everything a sports sedan should be.

The Bad

Love the car. Hate the dealership. Would like a slightly less "race-inspired" seat.

So close to being a legendary car, but the problems and dealer experience have been so horrible that I'll NEVER buy another GM vehicle ever again. Sad that my first GM will be my last.

Potential to be a great car. Way too many problems.

The clunk keeps getting worse so I'm thinking of selling the car, even at a big loss.

The Ugly

Biggest complaint...diff not changed under warranty. I had to pay for it.

hate the wheel hop and I wish the car had a nice wood dash. Other than that, great car.

HAVE HAD THE REAR DIFF REPLACED 3 TIMES, ABOUT TO GO IN FOR ANOTHER. GOTTA LOVE IT.
