Positive Review
The 2016 is the first of the 3rd generation CTS-V. 640 HP with 630 PDS or torque. I bought this with 4,000 mikes on it. Have wanted one for years. It is an impressive car. Speed is life, as I use to say in my previous fighter pilot days. Was so impressed with the car, I bought a second one. Don't use them as everyday drivers. They stopped making them in 2019. You can be going down the freeway at 70 and it will burn rubber if you floor it. Very comfortable with all the bells and whistles. Never drive them in bad weather. Take not of that or you will end up in a ditch. Best vehicles ever owned and I'm 71.
Critical Review
Soon these car's will be heading to the junkyard as cash for clunkers. LOL.. Bad gas mileage. To many things go wrong with these car's. Transmission is not good. Resale value is terrible. Walk away from these car's.

4 door Z06 sedans. Outstand power, ride, room ,comfort. 4 door? What else can you ask for? Most people never get rid of these, and those who do regret doing so.
ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE comfort, speed, 28mpg hwy. owned since 2016 an outstanding performer for sure
All the bells and whistles of a luxury car with .
Gas mileage is not great. Not like it matters!
Extremely comfortable for daily driving. An absolute terror when you want it to be. Car is extremely powerful and not for an average person. It can easily get away from you if you turn of all the safety features. If you don't, the car is very smart and can correct your mistakes.
power , looks , recaro and carbon fiber, beats 100
price point for younger driver is high
this car is awesome , chris who writes 10 reviews does not even own one , he was driving a 2005 gto ,, ctsv is not your dads car , it has all the power and looks to boot
Fast, fun and powerful with awesome styling
Cadillac infotainment system sucks
I've owned Corvette, Viper and the CTSV, 2019. I love this car, it flows so well in traffic and power is effortless. 0-100 so fast, with no effort, daily driving is a pleasure, change to sport mode and the shocks stiffen up, throttle response is modified. It's truly a fun beast of a car to drive, and the front end styling is awesome. Rear shocks replaced under warranty, that's it. Driven daily.
Fast! a blast to drive, $20K cheaper than a V;
One problem fixed, a bad O2 sensor.
Folks, when you read these I bought this 2016 CTS Vsport Premium in June of 2019 with 32,000 miles, and as of this writing (June10 2022) I the miles are up to about 46,500. Also, the Vsport was $20,000 cheaper. This car is pure joy to drive! Though not as powerful and well known as the V, the 420HP Turbo V6, with 430 lb-ft of torque, is more than my level of driving skills can manage, and it has almost all of the other features of the V. As a premium model, all the comfort features are there too. The chassis is the same as the V, with all the aluminum in the same places, the electronic limited slip differential, 8 speed auto/manual tranny, plus all of the driving and traction and ride controls, that can be turned off. I did that once and floored it, causing instant wheel spin at 45-50 mph, with the resulting fishtailing. I guess the car was scared, because a message popped up on the display saying in essence, "Don't do that above 30 MPH because it is too dangerous!". I had to laugh but. This car is a joy to drive in any setting road or track, but I never have to use all of its power, because only a slight goose of the throttle brings on an immediate downshift and off you go like a shot.
There is not a vehicle on the market that will give the power and versatility for under $100k. The performance is similar to that of 2 seater sports cars. But it’s a 4 door sedan. With 640hp and massive braking system i have not found a car more fun to drive. I laugh at my friends who spend on $300k Ferrari or Lamborghini. This car has similar performance for a fraction of the price and a fraction of the maintenance.
Nope
