    Comments

  • With every mod, my driving pleasure increases!
  • I'm the 2nd owner with 21K miles. ONLY problem has been the sail panels. Everything else is facory original. Love this car!
  • Some diff whine, started at about l800 miles. Had issues with 6-disc in dash CD changer r&r. Diff leaking at about 4300 miles. Why the hell doesn't the CTS-V come with a locking fuel door when base CTS models come with it? Overall, I love this car.
  • I love this car - 3 years old and still an enjoyable experience when driving it.
  • Best car I've owned!
  • I would love to mod the car but I don't think it would handle it well. Many things about the car that I think is cheap compared to other american cars for the money. Sold my 2003 cobra for what I think is a lesser car with more issues
  • Still the only American-made super car with a back seat!
  • Best car I have ever owned. When this one wears out, I will buy another one.
  • hope GM addresses poor shift-clutch mechanism
  • Whine in rear is present, I have spoken to dealer and been told this is normal. I plan to go back and demand differential be checked. I will pursue with GM if not satisfied.
  • Love the power and handling. Disappointed by the interior. Seems that each day, I find something new that's squeeking or rubbing. My gf's Accord has less squeeks and jitters...
  • Fantastic Car. I own 7 vehicles at present and have owned over 250 cars in my lifetime. This is simply the very best ever!
  • Driveshaft play/shifting clunking which Cadillac refuses to correct unless I can resove it through arbatration.When it fails Iguess they will have to under warranty
