this is the most beautiful car Cadillac ever made

This is absolutely one of the best looking cars ever.

I have had a 2011 high performance 3.6 AWD Premium 6 spd. auto for a year now. I added black chrome wheels, red caliper covers, Cooper Zeon RS3-A tires, an Airaid cold air in take and a Borla exhaust. We've always had SUV or trucks for camping and fishing. It's just my wife and I, we just retired, and love this car. We get complements on it all the time. Looks great, sounds great and fun to drive.

I own an '05 CTS SPORT. Man, l love that beautiful machine.

1:14 "Inspired by a prison shiv". NOW I want one.

@AlternativeUses - The CTS-V is aimed more at the BMW M3, which means it's also up against the Audi RS5 - a car we don't have in the US... yet. Those are all 400+ hp monsters with price tags around 70k. This group is all in the 300hp range, and in the 50k range for price. That's why we grouped these guys together for this comparo. Thanks for watching. The BMW piece is a few weeks (not months) away. ;-)

I love the fact that EverydayDriver picks even, interesting matchups every time. Can't wait for part 2 and 3.

In terms of looks I'd take this car over a Gallardo, but that's just me

Mannnn i bought my mother one 2 years ago and recently she let me drive it to a party one night and i fell in love with this car ALLL over again and i bought me a used one WHAT A BAD AZZZZ CAR. !!!!!

let me tell you all something this car handles like it 's on rails, I have pushed it and it's very responsive for the weight of it but I have driven it and if you think this thing is a clod you have the wrong idea, this car moves and steers where you put it, and yes it's a Cadillac, and that's why I bought it, because I don't trust bmw or Mercedes, they cost to much after the purchase .

I've driven Audi, BMW, Lexus, and I have owned this car in black for multiple yeas and it is a luxury muscle car. I got rid of my mustang GT to get this and I used it as my all year round car> It has the best AWD, the car gets looks and compliments every week. It is stands out from other cars. I NEVER got compliments on the Beamer or Audi..why? Because they look like every other car. I love this car. I will keep it as long as I can. To those saying it is ugly...I don't get it. But, I guess in to each their own. I think it has a great ass. I'm a 58 year old woman with class. I love this car.

Beautiful car. Stands out from the crowd of "blah" common-looking cars. Love this color also.

Actually I could feel the honesty from both drivers, well done........

We hope you watched the entire comparison to see the results and understand our reasoning. But, as we've stated before these were the top versions just below the high performance models (The M3, RS5, & CTS-V). If we included the A5 we would have needed a lessor version of the other two models as well.

@aceHADOKAN69 - Sorry to bring any confusion. They have 3 variations of the CTS. The base price of the high-end version we were in (Premium) starts at $47,000. The one we tested had options on top of that. You are correct, you can get into the CTS coupe base for $38,000, but it's pretty bare... it doesn't even have a full leather interior or bluetooth, for example.

better used than new

"Terrible floaty Cadillac ride" ,I guess these two clowns were raised cramped in the back seat of a Toyota Corolla

CTS is artwork in motion, Cadillac has got it back! The lines and stance of this CTS make BMWs look demure and geriatric.

beautiful car!!!

I like how Todd described it as a "luxury muscle-car" but maybe more towards the CTS-V tho??

I bought this car and I like the drive feel of it. Its perfect for people who want a two door but feels like they are in a sedan. Also if you are tall there is a switch to drop the seat down closer to the floor and you have your head space. Im 5 9 and have a 34 inseam for legs. the leg room is great. Hes right it never has that rockey feel. You could be doinh 75 and feel like you are swaying on an idle boat.

Interesting. Glad to see the videos return.

nice job not comparing it to smaller sports cars. well done

The car sets are amazing beautiful breathing! If its not broken leave it a lone. Great job GM the sky can never be the limit until we reach Heaven with Jesus Christ!!!

Great review.....meaningful information. Smart.

Hey I was wondering if you guys have ever driven the first gen CTS-V (preferably with the LS6) because I'm in the process of getting one from the dealership I work at and I just wanted to know what to expect, what you guys think, and how it would work as a *somewhat* every day driving car

finally, one of my favorite reviewers are back!

@yyyy2999 - It was closed for a while because of Fires in the Angeles Crest. But, it's all open now and repaved... amazing driving!

I am looking at this a style of car and several others but I want to say thank you for your review it was comfortable

Great to see Cadilac making a comeback...welcome back Cadilac, We missed ya!

hello, after 7 months of owning it are you still happy with the car? I'm used to the bmw 328i and benz c300 but i think its time to jump american once again. I owned a newer camaro and had lots of fun with it. I think this will be a mixture of both. Let me know your pros and cons about it. thanks

@plagick - Yes, Angeles Crest HWY. Good eye. It isn't all closed, but you have to be creative to find access. Too bad, really, as it's great driving.

@EverydayDriver thats awesome I cant wait!!!! :D keep up the good work guys

@asdfgoogle - Great catch. BMW pioneered the Sports Sedan segment with their 3 series - and then proceeded to make the 3 in every other variation: Convertible, Coupe, and Wagon. So, while they are all offshoots of the same major idea (Sports Sedans) - we are specifically focused on the Coupe part here.

@13slot28 - Great idea... you've read our minds. We're scheduling a comparison very similar to that in the coming months.

This is by far the hottest car on the market right now for around 50k. I just got one and love the ride, its fast enough but not too fast for me to rack up tickets and i get nothing but great complements from everyone that sees it. The problem with Audi and BMW's is that everyone has one and they all look the same except the higher end line. Very boring if you ask me. This wins by far the best looking car award for 2011.

can't wait for part 2 and 3 GERMAN power

see you all in 3 months when part 2 comes out hahah jokes guys keep up the great work!

keep it up guys!!! Cant wait for subsequent parts

The CTS styling was inspired by the F-117 stealth fighter, Dork- not an iron.....

you guys make cars look like gladiators!!!!!

I think a lot of the reason why it is such a heavy car is because they are quite new at this and they finally have made something that can compete with the others. They will get better as times goes by and the platforms will lighten up. How come you guys didn't add In the Infiniti G37 IPL. I think it is a strong contender to the 335is with its beefier suspension and 20 or so more horsepower and a starting price of over 47k. Could you guys do a comparison between the G35 coupe and g37 coupe?

Looking forward to these reviews

I think i want this car

Head room hilarious 🤣 but I Love it

What road is this? Isn't Angeles Crest HWY closed? Is this mullholland , Santa Monica? Anyone know?

@EverydayDriver i see what you mean about the specs but im thinking more in line with performance figures. the cts 3.6 does 0-60 in about 6 seconds, the 335is and S5 do it in about 5 flat, and the CTS-V does it in about 4 seconds. nevertheless, the fact that the cts 3.6 is an oddball doesnt mean that it disqualifies for this comparison test

I stand up and applaud Cadillac for offering this with manual transmission. Unfortunately I may never drive one as it is way out of my $ league. Well, maybe a used one someday. If the Dodge Charger Hemi came with a manual transmission it would be my must have. Base price in Canada right now is $40,805 v6 auto $3,000 rebate applied. To get a manual transmission? $70,825 rebate applied. Ok, I'm sitting down again.

@StuinthaHouse - We actually prefer a car to require MORE driver involvement, not less. (Well, Todd definitely prefers it... Paul varies). We recommend you watch our Nissan GTR, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and Mercedes C300 reviews. Hopefully you'll see that the more a car drives itself the more it bores us.

Good info I am considering buying one

Interested in what your final verdict will be...

My dad leased an 08 CTS when they first came out. Traded in his Pontiac g6 convertable...

And it's pretty, real pretty!

awsome u shoul do a Bang 4 the buck car section.. like the new Scion tc vs Forte Kupe and new civic

Great review. Now upload part 2!!!

amazing review

Did you get into the opposite lane several times???

good review... but shouldnt the S5 be pitted more against the CTS-V? The 335is and S5 are kindve in the middle ground between the CTS here and the CTS-V. That being said, i look forward to part 2 of this review when its going to be released in 6 months or so

Any chance you guys testing a CTS-V?

i love u guys.... yall are too funny

Thanks for reviewing cts coupe what about sedan ?

This car looks amazing with the Hard-Lines. BMW and Audi's are shaped like Easter Eggs.

lol were did you guys get the base price of 47,000? Base price is $38,165

The CTS is for Ambulance Chasers who pulled their first courtroom Hat-Trick. Soulless, like my adopted son.

The review was very well done, for sure. But, as others have mentioned, the '09 CTS-V are are less than the new CTSs, and being the armchair critic that I am, that is what I would prefer.

me vote caddy!!! comfortability sportiness and stand out design caddy all the way!

@YUBU8 So far as comfortability and sportiness are concerned, some reviews clearly stated it doesn't have either of those things.

That's why I bought my CTS when I was 20. Now I'm 22 and with a lot more attitude and not sure what to buy...

when are the nest episode comming out

"Are American cars OK to buy? ..... this car competes all day long against it's German competitors!" - It's nice to have a dream!

Why does the audio sound so muffled?

y'all is this an everyday car if I have to drive to and from work is 40 miles each. lmk

Great video guys...wish I could be work with you! :)

@c0nv1ct1337 When the CTS platform was launched in 2002, it was intended to compete with Mercedes E class and the BMW 5 series. Over the years, these cars have grown as have their smaller brothers whereas the CTS has remained relatively the same. Today, the E-class and 5-series are much bigger which is why it's usually compared to the Mercedes C-class or the 3-series BMW, although it's still a little bigger than them....except for this coupe version, maybe. Btw. the Audi S4 is just as expensive.

@EverydayDriver where do you guys get 6.1? try 6.5

@EverydayDriver Sedan is a type of body, to be simple how the back end of the car looks like. If it has a proper boot not a hatchback its a sedan. It can be a coupe or a SALOON which has four doors.

I don't like the car, but I like the review.

I would feel great driving the Caddy. I'd just feel stupid in a BMW.

Hey Guys what's the car to get ats or this

Damn... almost 2 tons... thats way too heavy for a sport car... thats why I still like older Japanese cars.... here comes the tear when I remember my old Primera with only 1200kg :)

@EverydayDriver why would they close it?

Can't wait for the Audi.

Lolol cts vs 3 series? I swear they're letting anyone review cars. It's a 5 series competitor not a 3. That's what the ATS is for.

Wish the back seats were more usable for adults like the 3 series coupe.

Everyone bitches about the weight. When you live somewhere that it snows, that's a bonus!

Ladies and Gentleman I give you The Emperor’s New Clothes! The reviewers should have gone to specsavers 😀🤣😀😂

Interior decent but comparing it to an Audi or BMW is quite daring(especially Audi). not buying the comparison after viewing it in person with an open mind, but interior is pretty good.

after owning a 6,000lb X5,weight is not something i complain about

isn't mustang GT500 the same price as CTS, but 550 HP?

I think the CTS nav screen slides out very differently than the Audi a8. The Audi comes out and then up, while this thing simply slides up. Not as cool IMO.

I wouldn't "buy it because I want some attitude". I'd buy it because I was born with an attitude-

Get the V.

THE BEST 👍

This would be nice as a convertible...

OMG, its like. he says "its nice but its not but i like it"

I've noticed that a lot of auto reviewers, not just these guys, are giving cars a bad review when it takes a little more skill to control them. What is a car only good when it practically drives itself? I guess I'm behind on the times, and I'm only 24.

The Cadillac cts beats the other 2 cars on price. Audi S5, and BMW 335is.

Nice Alliteration

why isnt the Mercedes E350 compared?

Before I say something bad about the Pontiac G6 convt, let me just say that the CTS he had was a great car and Cadillac has certainly come a long ways. Good job GM! Now, all they need to do is bring the Caddy back in house like you did for the C7 Vette. Maybe just leave the interior in-house by say...the guys in Bowling Green. They did such a nice job on the C7, just imagine how dope they could make the Caddy!
