Many years ago I test drove one of those and I fell in love the only problem was a price tag then and I wish more people have bought the manual versions of it
Finally a v wagon. I still dream about owning one.. my brother never got too. Some day I will
🏁🏁🏁Great find Hoovie now manual swap it already 😉🤙🏾
I have a 2012 V-Wagon very similar to this - Crystal Red Tintcoat, Recaros, sunroof delete (aka 'slictktop'), stock except for an Airaid intake. Best car I've ever owned. A blast to drive and extremely reliable. Thought about selling due to crazy market right now, but I just couldn't part with it. FYI - those paddle shifters are aftermarket, not stock, so can't blame GM on that thing falling off 😉, also that supercharger snout is not stock either. Ventilated seats were only available with Recaros. Not just fast in a straight line, these cars handle curves way better than they should with their weight - mag ride suspension is magic.
Wow, Great review of the car. I hope it continues to give you years of great service.
Amen! I also have a 2012 v wagon and wouldn't part with it.
great story.
Agreed, I would love to have a V-Wagon. Congrats to all that own one.
I have a 2011 wagon with what sounds like that same spec (red, recaros no sunroof), mines totally stock and contemplated selling too but can’t part with it. Mine is a manual 6spd. What trans do you have?
Those paddle shifters are aftermarket. Stock is just a shifter button on the back of the wheel. Looks like the door and fenders are from a 2011 or older as it has the older split fender vent and the GM badge on the door. Something you can change to bring it up to 2012 spec. Love this!
My father had one in sedan form, easily one of the coolest cars I've ever experienced. I likened it to the Hulk in a tuxedo. You could tell through the exhaust that it had some incredible muscle, but it was so polite and subdued about it. Really, my only two complaints about the car were the Recaro seats being uncomfortable, and the rear seat had horrible headroom. Otherwise, the car really is legendary. I personally love the screen setup. It was functional, but very classy, and very unique. I still remember the test drive: my dad got on it and I said "that's pretty strong, what is that, 90?" "Believe it or not, that's 120." I'd experienced plenty of seriously-fast cars at that point, but none that were designed to hide it. I'll never forget that.
Anyways, he drove it to around 110k flawless miles before trading it on a Trackhawk, which has been another home run (currently around 80k miles). I think those two cars are ones that you look back on and smile feeling immensely satisfied that you owned them and actually drove them.
I had one. Loved it. Took it up to 180MPH +. Was as stable as if it was going 60.
Whoever put that thing back together to look like that after the accident is a genius. 🙂
I remember taking these out to lunch at GM with my cohorts. We all loved them.
Except that the body shop/paint man messed up a big spot . I wonder if the rest of the paint on that rear door will start to fail also?
Who would do all that and the mods and then sell a car that’s almost impossible to get for 29k?
Doesn’t seem legit
It's an average repair at best. A wrinkle in the roof and paint missing all over.
Id service the trans fluid for sure. Those cars are often beat on pretty hard, fresh good synthetic fluid would be my recommendation
The converter in them is terrible, it's a 6l80 changing the fluid isn't going to help that
@@bigbiddies45 good to know Id still change it, nothing worse than clutch material going through valve bodies in trans, to each his own
I changed the fluid in my IS350 recently and was shocked at how much nicer it drove with fresh fluid. This would be a great thing to do for his CTS-V Wagon
@@bigbiddies45 ouch, the L80 series.. at least it isnt the 4L80, aka "grenade"
@@ghomerhust lol true
I'd ask Wizard what he recommends for a heat shield and see how much that costs to save your starter.
2nd degree burn hot,
He could heat wrap The headers, like how they do with motorcycles...
Starters in there just bakin’
@@MOON_BOYS Or you can wire a heat shield and insulation around the starter.
Just get some "Tavarish tape" and everything will be fine...
we have a 2010 CTS4 wagon, and just love it. Yes an All Wheel Drive version, which were rare. Its got the full Sun/Moon roof and dual powered seats with heat and cooling, like it was a full optioned version. It has the 3.6 v6 in it, but it still scoots real well.
Nice! I have a 2012 cts4 3.6L with 19s and Pearl white. The only option it doesn’t have is the cooking seats. I got it in February this year, and it only had 42k miles at the time. It’s the first car that I’ve owned in a LONG time that I walk up to and just smile about.
"Cadillac must have thought [a huge center screen] was tacky in the late 2000's" They were right. and it's still tacky now. But not as tacky as a rectangular gauge cluster that is above the dashboard like an oblong ipad glued to it rather than inset into the dash.
Gotta disagree with the tablet point , it clears up the gauge cluster, makes the whole area look and feel cleaner and easy to use instead of choosing between 10 different buttons stacked on each other
100% agree
I like what they did with this car, keeping the screen mostly hidden when not needed, and having physical controls for everything.
The screen looks tacky, look at the rear light cluster and the rest of the interior 😂😂😂
@@neurokinetik64ES then second gen cts is in my opinion the best modern car interior
Now this is exciting! These cars will go down in history as one of the coolest modern American automobiles.
Except theyre Aussie cars
Nah ....they wont.
The CTS-V is as american build as a BMW.
Yup
Who cares where it's built, Lamborghini is still italian even tho it's mostly german made.
Glad to hear your toddler also has excellent taste in hoopties. I concur. The CTS Vagon is the daily beater of choice.
when i was a teenager my friend's mom had gotten a first gen first year for the cts-v and we got to drive it. it was an absolute monster. we crashed it into a bush jumped railroad tracks, ran from the cops in it. it was the best car I've ever driven. but I've sense gotten to drive in a doge hellcat charger with engine mods and can confirm it now holds my best car ever place. but now that i think of it the cts-v was kind of the hellcat of the day.
The person who rebuilt it did a great job. Engine and dashboard were all messed up.
Absolutely silly, ludicrous prices for these but still a very awesome car.
Love it when Hoovie gets back into Hoopties!
When I saw an actual hooptie, I clicked on this video...
...well damn...one more disappointing video for you...
@@dericanslum1696 At least it's not an exotic car video again...
@@MartinJones123 - Agreed. If I see one more Lamborghini or Ferrari video, I'll puke. This car is 10x cooler than that stupid pumpkin coloured Murcielago.
Not sure what you were meaning to say but the CT5 V Blackwing does indeed come with the 6.2 LT4 supercharged V8 and Tremec TR6060 manual trans. Cadillac is the last manufacturer that offers a supercharged V8 and manual transmission in new sedans.
Also, the part you guys were looking at on the supercharger "flowcraft" is the snout. Its very common to have just the snout removed and ported along with the smaller upper pulley. Very possible it has injectors and is definitely tuned for these mods.
I was thinking since it has no cats and no CEL it must have a tune...
This is my absolute dream car and one that I will own before I die.
I technically owned one for about 2 hours...I bought it from a dealer in SoCal and started to drive it home to the Bay Area. We hit traffic going through East LA and the car randomly started shifting weirdly, almost like someone learning to drive stick for the first time. Long story short after pulling off in "da hood" and getting a shop with a scanner to check the code, the torque converter had failed and we had to have it flatbed towed back the dealer. It was quite the ordeal ending with the purchase being annulled and the tow truck driver giving me and my friend a ride to LAX so we could fly back home.
I've never been on such a high and low over the same car in the same day.
That is unfortunate especially when you're excited to bring it home. One time at the GM dealership I worked at a guy bought a brand new Z06 C7 and the motor dropped a valve and blew on the first drive home. Saw it come back on a flatbed 90 minutes after it left the dealership. Car had 17 kms on the clock.
@@7477238 yeah, it was brutal, but I think it was the universe telling me I was supposed to get the Manual (I hemmed and hawed on it for quite a while), which was and mostly is out of my price range, but I've decided it's what I'm going for.
Plus I decided to re-think the whole situation and try to assemble a small fleet of "fast" manual wagons. I currently have an '05 manual Volvo V70R and 2000 V70R which is going to be converted to manual and I'm working on a getting ahold of a '95 T5-R for similar treatment. I also have the '95.5 Audi S6 Avant and '08 Saab 9-3 Turbo X on my radar if I ever run across them.
@@alexmurphy888 The Volvo would be amazing.
@@alexmurphy888 - I was the opposite when shopping for a Z4. I wanted an automatic but the perfect car came up in a manual. It was fun for a while but I got stuck in traffic a few times (on and off the clutch repeatedly for 25 mins, moving 10 feet at a time) and my partner didn't feel comfortable driving it, even though she grew up driving a stick. After a year of searching, I ended up only keeping the car 18 months. That will be my last sports car. Too noisy, too firm, too cramped, too uncomfortable in general. Trying to recapture my youth I guess. I drive an S-Class now and couldn't be happier (except at the pump). I love the air suspension and quiet comfortable ride.
The Recaro seats where required if you wanted the cooled seats. And the old school muscle car growl did not require an aftermarket exhaust or supercharger upgrade. At least not on the ones I started while we built them.
Agreed. I just added valved dumps to open when you feel like it. Perfect!
Wow, what a lucky find! That is the dream car of my son (in his 20's) and me. Unfortunately good examples are beyond our range so I solute you for finding one that's attainable! For 30k, you can't be afraid to drive the wheels off of it and that's what those are made to do! I'm a long time subscriber and so is my son. We love your videos! I even have Motortrend now so I'm catching up on 'Car Issues' :-)
Been fallowing the channel for years. Never seen the Wizard this disappointed after an inspection.
I don't know why station wagons aren't more popular. Almost/same accel and handling as a sedan or coupe version but with a *lot* more storage and cargo space. Seems like a no-brainer to me (and also why I love Subarus).
The looks of them. Thats why
@@NocturnalPLUR I mean it’s kinda a car guy thing but I think they look so rad. I see why regular people don’t but it’s better then the fleet of suvs that have no difference in styling, escape, rouge, cx5, rav4,crv all look so similar
@@popupheadlights you're right that they are better looking than all the SUV's out there
Bringing joy to my workday. Thanks Tyler! Keep up the good work!

Went to a "Street Car Takeover" night at Edgewater a few weeks ago.
These CTS-V Caddys were EVERYWHERE !
A BUNCH of those nutty origami looking coupes running in the NINES and three or four wagons too.
The other shock was dozens of Smartcars being used as push/pit vehicles instead of custom golf carts.
Who ever would have thought that all the Smartcars would wind up running around dragstrips and racetracks.😀
Now this was a Hoovies episode! Great car. One of my dream cars from modern days 👌
I feel like the black grill keeps it classy. Chrome across the front would in my opinion be a little gaudy.
This is the sort of insane purchase we come here for!
I like the taillights on these Tyler, they give the look and 'flavor' of Cadillac tail fins, but in a completely new way that looks great.
558 HP Hoovie. Because facts.
I had one of these in sedan form. Took it to 180MPH on the street. It's an amazing car. Nearly wrecked it a couple of times. Finally got rid of it when I got more mature (old). Miss the hell out of it.
I had this car for a few years and man was it a dream of a drive.
I have a 2009 CTS-V sedan. My front magnetic shocks started leaking @ 65,000 miles. I think there were only about 600 wagons made in total. The 2 door, sedan and wagon V's all ride on the same chassis only thing different are the body's. If you drive them at the speed limit they will get appx. 17 mpg around town, 22 mpg on the highway, If you hammer them, mpg will drop to 16 mpg. Push the Shock icon on the dash and it will go into Sport mode and the ride will get firmer. Push the traction control button twice and traction control will deactivate. Your car has a smaller pulley on the supercharger. There was a recall on the superchargers due to the shaft connector rattling, the replacement has a solid connector. They replaced the entire supercharger, free. My car has appx. 75,000 miles, only the shocks and the supercharger have been the only issues. You are right, a very good car for every day use, a 4 door Corvette. Requires Premium fuel. 3.9 0-60, the next gen V's are 668 hp, 0-60, 3.8. My car does not have paddles, just small buttons on the back of the steering wheel, you cannot see them while driving, very easy to reach, work great. Top speed: 185 mph.
The sound, backup camera coming up and the fake key start are all pretty unique and cool features, I have to admit.
Back to your roots Hoov. Love these videos so much more than the unobtanium exotics.
Absolutely love the ctsv wagon! Would love to own one, just not at current prices.
This is going to be good…such a great looking car
This is the old 'Hoovies Garage' I know and love.
Excellent hooptie ... really enjoyed this episode ... kudos Tyler 🤗
11:55
You're thinking of the CT4-V BW, the new ATS-V. The CT5-V BW still has a supercharged 6.2L V8 with a manual. The CT5 replaced the CTS
I actually consider the sky blue manual CTS-V wagon I saw to be the rarest and most interesting car I've seen, and I was in Europe in the seventies and eighties and saw many super cars and sports cars of the times new on the street,
I would say that the Pantera and Lotus Europa I saw back then to be two of the other most interesting cars I saw.
Nearly bought one in 2013, test drove it and was torn between it and a Ford explorer sport. I went the wrong way for cost and ground clearance reasons (I wanted to off road) and regret it of course. It would have been sky blue stick too. It was 77k.
@@kurtlamprecht93 Cool troll bro
@@kurtlamprecht93 Cool walk back, bro
Good going Tyler, hell of a find.
I have wanted one of these since it was first introduced!!! Unfortunately I still can’t afford one yet so I’ll keep driving my old BMW wagon. Nice score Hoovie!!!
I've always loved station wagons. My dad had a big blue Chevy at one point that took us basically everywhere. Sadly, they've been replaced by the SUV.
One of my favorite cars ever, and you lucked out on the condition too nice
Congratulations!
I guess you have to hit a good one from time to time, although I prefer your struggles that entertain and then amaze me with the final product (like the lambo). Anyway your now rating above a stopped clock and heading for a weather man for hits!
Love the show and all your endeavours so take by weird British attempt at humour with a pinch of salt.
Finally a real Hooptie. Got bored with cars I could never own. Keep them coming.
I'm from the UK and never seen one of these over here, our roads are full of Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Not a Cadillac guy, but those CTS-Vs are cool af. Esp the wagon 🔥
I was going to buy a CTS-V2 (non-Wagon, the wagons were impossible to find and double the price if I could), but after driving them I decided that a Chevy SS with an LSA blower was a better choice. The construction quality of the Cadillac was just so mediocre and the Chevy SS feels much, much better.
It's a shame they never offered a wagon-version of the Holden Commodore in the US
As far as that car goes, polish and coat that right headlight and it'll be hard to notice it was in an accident
As someone that has both, you can't be anymore wrong. I absolutely love the Chevy SS, and I have owned four of them and have detailed about 60 of them. My V wagon is 25k miles, but 2011, and the build quality is night and day compared to the SS sedan. I wish so much that GM produced anything show worthy. The fit and finish of both cars is absolutely trash compared to its European counterparts. However, the interior of the V is soooooo much nicer than the SS, from a quality standpoint. The exterior is the same way, and even removing bumpers and body panels is better and easier on the V. With the SS, the way the clips are on every panel, it tends to warp the panel with the pressure needed to remove the clips.
I use the SS as a mobile detailing vehicle, and it gets a ton of attention at the occasional car show, because it's jungle green, but in my opinion it's not show worthy
@@Baltzy24 Remember that the SS is actually a Holden Commodore and Holden in Australia is fairly similar to Chevy, not Cadillac... I disagree with the exterior, I'm not a fan of Cadillac styling in general and I think the Commodore looks much nicer and more aggressive (you may think otherwise because they look very bland in the U.S, but not in Australia)
@@Baltzy24 The V wagon is a vault... but the plastic strips in the console can get to squeaking in a very old-GM way when any pressure is applied. It can be embarrassing.
I also have a 2012 CTS-V Wagon with about 70K miles on it. The only real problem I've had with it is the front suspension and steering, ALL of which, rack included, was replaced at 65K miles. There was also a bearing recall on the supercharger a few years ago. I put Corsa cat-back mufflers on it; expensive but very satisfying sound. I have a manual transmission and wouldn't have anything else. It's my retirement car and I am thoroughly enjoying it (although that Lyriq doesn't look too bad.....)
How much you want for it?
@@kurtlamprecht93 I thought so too......
The before picture of the side and the steering wheel ontop a pile of parts damn it really got mangled lol glad to see someone took the time to resurrect it.
The wagon actually tested quicker than the sedan.
I figured I'd be able to pick one up dirt cheap by now. Guess I was wrong.
The wagons have neve been cheap. There are some nice sedans that are more reasonable.
The wagons were considered collector cars since their release man, you did a terrible market read there
I'd definitely start by replacing the other headlight. Kind of a giveaway it was in an accident
Having recently sold my 2013 slicktop Vagon (coincidentally also a rebuilt title car... but it was a V-Academy car... not wrecked), seeing this video pop up makes my heart a little heavy. But I'm super stoked to see you got one and curious to see what all you do with it. Enjoy!
Mine wagon is also a V Academy car. M6 though.
He's gonna take it to the wizard, fix everything that's wrong with it, then park it
He'll fix it then put it in storage until he sells it. That's the MO of this channel, we rarely get to see the cars after 2 videos are made, the purchase and the repairs.
I’ve had a 2011 CTs for years and still love it. It’s not a v but it still has decent power with the 3.6 and has been a great car. It’s a performance model with rwd only and no sunroof so that sidesteps lots
Of the known issues with these cars. What a great find !!
Very exciting. I own a 2012 CTS4 Awd limited Luxury Edition Cadillac Sportwagon. Under 200 made. A bit more chrome, all leather seats and dash, real wood dash and door inlays, sunroof. Not a V but such a pleasure to drive. The awd is really impressive in ice and snow.
4:10 I dont see a supercharger laying anywhere other than but the stock one under the hood. Really hope your not referring to the steering column as a super charger LMAO Love my 2011 V, Best car I've every owned! *Side note* Those paddle shifters are aftermarket, not stock. Stock just has 2 little "buttons". Not a super fast shifting car but when you got that much power, who cares....
I'd see if you can get some Aluminium paddles for it, I swapped to them when my e46s got flakey and it just gives piece of mind that they wont snap when having a bit of fun.
Always sucked fast Wagons/Estates never really took off as they are pretty much the perfect choice if you're an enthusiast that can only have 1 car but has resposibilities.
In Europe those estates are so popular for a body style. Like you said, practical but handle like a sedan.
Well done. Always wanted one so I'm glad to see you bought one. I hope you enjoy it very much.
Id like the wizard to fix the paddle while someone whips up the bill. So you can run around the shop to find change in your various cars!
Golden moment !

That is definitely an aftermarket and upgraded supercharger. That's a Precision Flow Craft Eaton 1.9L supercharger. The CTS-V comes factory with a TVS1900 supercharger.
I have a 2012 Sedan and I'm about to sell it. Going to miss it, but glad I still get content from one.

Hoovie sweet buy! Love these a ton! That supercharger in the interior is actually a collapsing steering column.
4:04 yeah i think you're right there
"And of course, because it's good, ah, nobody bought it, they only made it for a few years and, ah, they haven't made it again." Tyler... this may be the truest statement i have ever heard, unfortunately... and it applies to so much more than cars... 🤦♂🤦♂
Manual CTS-V wagon owner here for ten years. Amazing, fun, RELIABLE car, one of the best I've ever owned. Not to mention, it's an excellelent wagon capable of hauling cargo...while hauling ass. Even the automatic wagons are fun. PS those paddles are not stock, and nor is the SC snout.
Have always LOVED the CTS-V however as a disabled vet the chances of finding one within budget will probably end up being a basket case
Make Tyler an offer! With the flappy paddles fixed👌🏻
My man. Mentioned this car a month or so ago for you to pick up. Glad to see you’ve done just that!! Can’t wait to see you clean this beast up and enjoy it with your family.
I've owned an '05 dodge magnum sxt for a minute now, and it's made me fall in LOVE with wagons, old and new. I'd definitely love myself a little fleet of old woody wagon, magpie , and a cadillac cts v wagon. One day ;) Keep up the vids, love them hoovie. you've come a long way
@𝚃𝚎𝚡𝚝 𝚘𝚗 𝚃𝙴𝙻𝙴𝙶𝚁𝙰𝙼👉@The_HooviesGarage please my family is starving, i need food not a car
So nice to see you using a mount for the camera at last! Seriously dude, well done. I can forgive the few hand held titbits. You actually look a lot more comfortable filmed from that side view.
Test drove a V6 version and the drive shaft was hitting the floor at an impressive rate.
Yeah needed a carrier bearing, $100 fix
My grandma had an 05' with the 3.6, that thing moved and was fun to drive. They got a bad wrap for their super angly styling... I always kinda liked them but see why people didn't.
LOVE this car...I remember getting my monthly MOTOR TREND when this was brand new when i was like 15 and I fell in love...love big American cars with V8s with blowers on them...this was my dream car for years before the Hellcat came out...that and this V are my two dream cars.
You are so lucky! I seen a CTS Wagon V6 a few months ago it was dark blue, so pretty!
The carbon fiber trim is real. It’s carbon over abs plastic. That’s how you have to make trim pieces. I have ats v door cards in my ats and atsv dash trim too. I also put carbon fiber window switch trim panels in as well!
They’re aftermarket for the 2012 V. The PO put them on and they’re fake. You can see that they’re fake. But still a lovely car
Factory standard was silver-painted plastic with black crosshatch; available upgrade to wood was commonly chosen.
"Catera based on some european/australian turd"
Going to correct you there Hoovie. The Catera was a rebadge of the very nice Opel Omega 24v. A solid car.
Problem was GM old man-ified it. Detuning the engine, detuning the suspension to make it soft and mild on a car that was a sport saloon. It messed up the suspension geometry in process causing them to chew up tires and messed up performance curve.
Imagine taking your ferrari and deciding you wanted it quiet and soft riding and not rev so high to be smooth and friendly power. That is the Catera.
Agreed! I think it could have been very successful here if they had sold it with the larger V6 (or the LS like they planned but didn't complete) and the higher trim level.
The Omega was a good car !
The Omega was a good car here in Europe !
Yup - I had a Vauxhall Omega Elite with the 3.0 V6. Fast, comfortable, reliable, cheap to maintain - the 2.2 wagons still fetch good money in the UK as they are simply huge.
Opel Omega... the basis for the VT Holden Commodore, which evolved into a ute of course, Holden caprice; Holden/Vauxhall Monaro, Pontiac GTO, Chevy Caprice PPV, Pontiac G8, Chevy SS, etc.
Vagons were the best, such an awesome sleeper at the time. Got to drive VIN 006 of the Coupes when they came out at the Tech Center with Ed Piatek. That Gen V Series was so buttoned down. Just amazing.
1:36 Even back then they couldn’t take a hit with that fog light out 😂 but still a beautiful and comfortable sport sedan!
Sir Hoovie, there are two Blackwings...the twin turbo V6 AND the supercharged V8 with 668 HP! The Blackwings are superior in everyway to the CTS-V Gen 2 Wagon. Although the wagon is way too cool. The TT V6 is faster than the Gen 2 CTS-V' and driving a Blackwing will change your mind about how special these cars are. Just saying:)
I agree the blackwing is one of the dopest cars I've ever driven and I've driven some dope exotics and muscle cars but this car drives amazing and I swear this car is going to blow up soon due to how amazing both are the ct4 v and ct5v blackwing.
Yeah it’s a shame he got that wrong. The LT4 engine in the ct5 v is the upgraded z06 c7 engine
Agreed. Haven't driven a BW, but own an ATSV and I like it even more than the M4 it replaced. No lift shift with the 6mt is the greatest thing ever! The only thing I would replace it with is a CT5 BW, once they start showing up CPO.
Yeah I’m surprised he doesn’t know that
That's a beautiful car anyways. Would love to have a black CTS-V one day. But unfortunately an Impala is the closest thing to a Cadillac that I can afford right now LOL
Nothing wrong with the last generation Impala if that’s what you have. I had an Impala LTZ the same color as the Caddy in this video. Head-turner and the 300+ H.P. V-6 would scat. Great riding car, as well. I traded it for a Summit White Regal TourX wagon which looks almost as nice as this Caddy. The Regal TourX was made in Germany and is actually just a rebadged Opel Insignia. Pretty rare.
Great video, and awesome find. I had a 2010 CTS-V manual that I bought new and owned for almost 2 years, but “superstorm Sandy” totaled it (salt water up to the headrests). I still miss that car, 12 years later. I’ve owned a 2014 E63 for the past 5 years, and it’s nice, but I still miss my CTS-V. Next year I plan to sell the E63 and get a new CT5-V Blackwing, with a manual of course. I’ll probably keep that car until I die.
Always loved these. Crazy how they’ve sky rocketed in price
Hopefully Cooper Bogetti sees this. Maybe if he got a decent deal on it he could have a second one he wouldn’t feel bad about gutting it for racing 🤔
This needs to be higher

I never understood how people can say modern Cadillacs are luxury vehicles. It's as cheaply built as a Chevy with leather seats and a 50% mark up.
but.... supercharger go wheeeeeeeeee
I really like my 04 CTS. When compared to a Lincoln Town car and aviator I have had, it has held up much better in the interior. Mine isn't the basic black and Grey interior though. Mine has the fake woodgrain interior and beige leather seats. There are a few things I have to stay on top of with my base model 3.6l such as the timing chain every 125k mile but as long as I have had the car, it has been the most reliable and smoothest driving car I have had.
I absolutely love my wagon the only issue with the wagon are the rear brake lights bad design on the top plastic clip broke off both of them and now there's a gap.
I have a 2012 CTS Wagon 3.6l ALL4 that I LOVE. I got it this year, and it only had 42k on the clock. Love this car.
Detail it Tyler, fix the minor paint issues. This ones a keeper!
Did he called the Opel Omega and Holden Commodore a turd ? Is he completely insane ?!?!
I believe this is my old car.

If so, it is a Ported and Polished Supercharger. Tuned by Hawks Motorsports in South Carolina. 550whp. I had them tune the car for daily driving. 12.4 in the Quarter Mile was the best it could do. The paddle shifters were crap when I got her, always fell off. So i bought after market paddles, they also Sucked.
Does the back of the drivers seat still come off willy nilly?
I sold the car years back and have regretted it ever since. Glad to see she is still alive and well.
Definitely looks like it bro
I love wagons and hatchbacks this CTS-V is the first one I’ve seen in wagon form it’s dope af!
I can't see or hear the word "holy grail" without thinking of that bald headed Rick from pawnstars lol
I will never forget, my grandma bought The sedan version of these when they first came out and I remember seeing the average fuel consumption reading 32 mpg. being 21 years old and justifiably not allowed to take it out on my own a little piece of me died that day 😢😂
Really digging this hoovie. The CTS-V Wagon is the equivalent of our VF Commodore SS wagon with the LS3 here in Australia.
HSV R8 Tourer LSA….
@@nowukkas2472 I forgot we made those. There can't have been many made.
I got to drive the Flying V station wagon Caddy at a GM demo drive on the former Tustin airbase runway. The instructor passenger let me get after it, but some higher up radioed that we were being too aggressive. As a Hellcat owner, that V wagon was a great ride and stealthy runner that I could see kicking tail on a bunch of Vettes and Camaros !
My son painted one of these about 1+ years ago, same year, same color here in Central PA, I think in Mechanicsburg. I wonder if it could be this car.
I have a 08 CTS-4, same color.
Absolutely love these wagons.
I think you did freaking great on this.
If he still associated with me I could get some picts of it before he finished it.
I have been waitingggggg for you to buy one of these! About time
Don’t forget your taillight and your headlight as well but love your CTS V
That broken paddle shifter reminds me of driving my parents geo metro, turn signal broke off at one point. Fixed it by grabbing the nub with a pair of needle nose vice grips, and that was the turn signal for several years. Only problem was, every time you hit a bad bump, because it was heavy, it would drop (but not fall off) and the left turn signal would turn on.
But hey, at least we didn't have to take the steering column apart.😁
What a timing! It just happens that I also bought a CTS of this generation. Unfortunately it’s not the V nor even the wagon, but it’s still a very special car and all because I drive it around in Europe. It’s a very rare car here and feels nothing like Cadillac used to. It does really surprise people because they expect it to feel like a boat.
SLP should make an exhaust for that. There loud mouth exhaust sound great. Take it to a quality tuner to make sure it’s doing everything it should be. Also they might know more about what has been changed or replaced. There’s also a couple companies out there that make better shifter paddles
I loooove those V models. I have an 08 stsv 4.4l 32v lc3 motor. hope to see you running around in the wagon. I'm super jealous of ya 😆
I absolutely love this car. I think it’s one of the best designs to come out of GM. I love sport wagons and sadly live in the wrong country for them. ☹️
I've got a 2012 v wagon. Those paddles are after market stock they have no paddles just buttons.
The air cooled Sears were only on the Recaro seats.
Keep the factory mufflers, with aftermarket mufflers it can get really loud. The oems are a great compromise.
Also most people want the non sunroof as the pano roof takes up headroom.
The tips.of the tail lies lifting on the wagons is very common issue.
