Cadillac CTS: It’s Not What You Think

Confession time: until earlier this spring, I’d never driven a Cadillac.  I had a picture in my mind of how a Cadillac would handle, how I’d feel behind the wheel, and how much gas it would use. After spending a week with a 2009 Cadillac CTS earlier this spring, I have quite a different opinion.

The ride is tight, the styling is crisp, the cabin is ultra-comfortable and filled with tech goodies.  The flat screen navigation system rises from the dash like the obelisk from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, with state-of-the-art iPod integration and Satellite Radio. When outfitted with the direct-injected V6 engine, the CTS is relatively fast and gets decent gas mileage for a luxury sedan (when driven like a sane person).
