- The auto engineers at Consumer Reports take a pre-production Cadillac CTS-V Coupe for a spin at the test track. Learn more about the Cadillac CTS-V on our website: blogs.consumerr...
I have an '11 CTS-V Coupe M6. It has never been to the dealer for repairs. Not once.
I know I love my Caddys. Owned them for years. Very reliable. Just completed a 2,500 road trip in my SRX, flawless. My new V wagon? The best !
SSooooooooooooooo agree with you. I've never in my life experienced a ride like what Cadillac has created in the cts-v. Though I've never been behind the wheel of the wagon, the lighter sedan is just.....an experience. An amazing experience.
@jpap967 Well said. I just purchased one of these in the Black Raven paint. The warranty the they give you from the factory is a 4 year 50,000 mile warranty, 100,000 mile power train warranty, and premium maintenance that includes oil changes, brakes, and all regular maintenance. This is all included in the price of the car. These are not add ons. When a warranty is that good, that actually means its not junk. For a car that would break down alot, it would be too pricey for a company to offer.
Give Cadillac so credit, mayne.Name 10 cars off the top of your head with a 0 - 60 time under 4 secs. I know it's hard to believe but America is an automotive contender now. Now our muscle cars can make turns without spinning out. :D !! U-S-A!!!
ive got a 93 se ville with the 4.9 and it has 121,000 miles on it and still runs like a gem
once i heard about V's, they were by far the best car iv'e ever seen, especially the coupe!
I didn't know this nerd was such a good driver. He could give Chris Harris a run for his money.
have one 2013 black diamond...love it turns heads gets more attention than most any high end car...so impressed
Danny Floreancig You know how i know you don't have a CTS-V? "It turns heads".....In my V with LT headers, B&B exhaust and a couple of other visual mods it turns zero heads. Only people that know anything about V's will say something.
huh ? i have one
Danny Floreancig LIES!! :p Mine gets zero attention :(
i feel like I'm dealing with a kid...i have a 2013 CTS-v coupe black diamond ....i don't understand what the big deal is....yes it turns heads ....its lowered long tube headers i also changed th pulley for the super charger had it dyno at 615 hp
Same
It's nice that rather than allowing open comments to rip on Consumer Reports, they close it so they have to approve your comments. Can you say "damage control?"
Max respect to the resurgence of Cadillac and its image, the car of mobsters, businessmen, pimps, superstar athletes, rock and rapstars is back. Hell even the president rolls in a caddy that can stop a .50 cal round at point black range. It doesnt get much more badass than rolling in a Caddy. A true man's car.
According to JD Power and Associates Caddy matches or beats the Germans in multiple quality tests and customer satifaction surveys. Give some credit where it's due people.
2013 Silver Frost Edition of 100. This is the only matte finish GM has put on a car. Superb! Added Corsa and Air Raid.
This and the new Jag XJ and XF make all others(Asian and German) look like yesterdays tired offerings. Good work & Bravo!!
CADILLAC IS PUTTING IT OTHERS CARS IN CARDIAC AREST!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW BEAUTIFUL CAR, AMAZINGLY FAST, AND ALL AMERICAN BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This car has 2 strong points: 1) It's looks 2) It's mighty engine. It's weakness, 1) Plasticy interior not befitting its high-end market position. 2) Poor gear box. That's that many reviews have commonly mentioned so this unusually glowing review is surprising. Dont' get me wrong, I want one !!!!!
look, I never thought I would buy a caddy....I test drove one and I got me a CTS. This car is amazing in my opinion, performs wonderful....BMW?Benzo? move over, cant get anything better for the money. Did I mention it is super comfy to drive day to day.
Are you really going to trust consumer reports who sell their opinions to the highest bidder? There a joke. Not many production cars out there at all that have 4 seats, can comfortably fit 4 grown adults. AND can go 190 miles an hour. These cars are beasts, in any form, coupe,sedan,or wagon. Anyone who doesn't think so has never driven one....and hate it because it's not German. Stop bashing America guys...even with all its faults it's still about the best place in the world to live....
finnaly a good ctsv video with goood quality sound and video
my friend was going 70mph on the freeway in second gear, then he shifted to 3rd and spun out and tagged the barrier, some powerful shit
oooooooo, Cadillac has come to my territory. CTS V is amazing
It's actually quite a reliable car.
i have always loved Lexus, Hyundai or other japanese cars but the more i watch more Caddy vids the more i fall in love with the CTS-V, i would like to see american cars do better especially Buick and Cadillac. So glad Cadillac is world class now and back on track
WELL DONE ON THE DRIFTING DUDE!!
@04silverGTO I agree. I see tons of older ones and like you said, they hardly need anything done to them.
EXACTLY. Ever have a NORTHSTAR engine. It made the Chevy Vega engine look futuristic!
it looks slightly better that its out now, Idk it looks a bit different from the back like they lowered it some, I like this car a ton
this car basically weighs the same as a GTR, has similar HP, and costs 30K less. Its a definite winner!
woah woah woah... one of the fastest cars on the planet. clearly he lives under a rock.
@rioross I agree! GM has the best powertrain set ups in America!
@rioross - of course they are. The complaints of them burning oil at the Cadillac dealer proves it all.
@3XICS What is impressive is that it took only one REAL try to level the playing field. I´m sure that the next generation CTS will completely earn the title of the "New Standard of the World¨.
I love my coupe but I wish I had that V omg
ONE OF THE FASTEST CARS ON THE PLANET!!1!
@rioross Agreed. Every intellectually sound person should know that.
@ryanmg1 FTR, They actually labeled the Camaro and Mustang as Recommended Vehicles. It's the Challenger they were harsh about because people who own them (and are subscribed to consumer reports) answered the survey about their challengers leading CR to say that the dodge challenger is kinda one of the last vehicles you'd want to own but that depends on your finances.
I struggle to understand "unreliable" - I put 6000 miles in the first three months driving it in NYC and NJ. Not a whimper in 100+ degree heat and bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Gas mileage isn't bad on the highway, swills around town. What precisely would you expect with 6.2L and 4300 lbs? Keep your foot out of it, and it's fine. Boot it, and watch the guage sink. Quickly.
The GM reliability issues are long gone - we've had three GMs in the last 10 years and ALL have been outstanding.
Got 2011 model for my 16th birthday, this car is great!
If GM hadn't discontinued it this would've been a pretty damn slick ass Pontiac. As long as they didn't call it G-this or G-that.
@NACERBALLIN A CTS-V also gets a basic coverage 4 year 50,000 mile warranty. It also gets a 5 year 100,000 mile drivetrain warranty and roadside assistance. I'm still not seeing the problem here? My mother has a CTS, she put 70,000 miles on it in 2 years and it has never had a single problem.
looks like a cross over in the back ..i agree!
if only the design was a bit more passionate, like the engineering was.
I love how when people have nothing else to cry about they start complaining about gas mileage. Keep your corolla, some of us have other priorities such as actually enjoying driving the car
The sad fact is GM has had reliability issues with the electronic components of all their cars. Cadillac is no different. The main computer displays go out, the power door locks quit working, etc. That still does not change my opinion of this car. I WANT ONE! I have a 2001 Pontiac TransAm and would love to have this in the garage next to my T/A!
I think consumer report need to do other review on this car my family drive nothing but Cadillac and they're very reliable automobiles
actually cadillac is one of the more reliable cars on the market
car like this right off the show room floor 70 k. 6 SPD almost 600 hp. never thought you would see this from Cadillac 30 years ago that's for sure. 6
It's the 0-60 time that is more impressive. Sitting at a light is where you are gonna spend most of your time.
Agree... probably not the most reliable, but still fun.
i need one asap.
He actually said it's ONE OF the fastest cars on the planet.
My next car!!
Lool the LS series is the most reliable V8 on the market
i see a hyundai equus out there, when are you going to test that?
At 191 (actual) mph...I'd say he has every right to say that
I really hate how he says its not reliable. I want one of these Cts-v's so bad. How can a brand new cadillac not be reliable? Is it true?
He didn't say it wasn't reliable, he said "Probably not the most reliable." That's not the same thing. It's a reliable car, but ALL high performance cars will be less reliable than your average cars. It's relative.
sportskid962 It has an LS engine, it's reliable.
Ive had mine for 3 years and the only problem I’ve had was a vacuum hose leaking
@rioross That's all Consumer Reports' car reviews are. This video aside, they're written by non-enthusiasts for grandmothers who only care about how much car repairs run... and no matter what the test results, they just recommend the Honda Civic anyway. Car repairs... resale value... that's it. And if the car's foreign, it gets bonus points (but they're not the only magazine that does that one).
It's a nice car but what I don't understand is why they don't offer a tan interior for it+ I would like to see everything that's in chrome blacked-out because then it would look even more sporty.
@S60RNESS Just picked mine up last week...black raven as well. I had the 09 v sedan and loved it, however, I think the coupe V is even tighter. Ordered D3 comp springs and 11 mm spacers to take some of the suspension height out. Good luck with yours!!
@amaro321 The Bugatti is a limited production, hand made car. The CTS-V is one of the fastest mass produced ("production" in marketing terms) cars in the world.
I'm with you on the looks. The sedan looks so much more thought out. The high back on the coupe just doesn't look good in my humble opinion. As far as burning a Farrari, uummmmm....can't say that it won't. but what I CAN say is that I drove my friend's cts-v sedan and it felt a bit faster than the Gallardo he rented for a "just to do something" weekend...(must be nice). Then again, I WAS in the passenger seat of the Gallardo and not at the wheel. MONSTER vehicles though.
If the Caddy's fuel economy wasn't so bad it'd be the only car I want to buy. Sadly, 12/19 isn't going to cut it in this world for day to day.
@1212goose True. But you have to figure that if these people buy a Cadillac and just happen to be that person that does get a problem, they will pounce all over Cadillac's saying how bad they are. It's like someone going somewhere for the first time and having a bad experience when tons of other people have a had a good one, so they decide to tell everyone they know that the place they went to sucks. People don't factor in probability of something happening.
How does it compare to its counterpart 4 door CTS-V sedan? I believe the sedan will deliver a smoother more comfortable ride and is just as fast and cost less than the 2 dr.
I wonder what cadillac will say when you give their car back with no tire tread on it
@Jace1283xmod Merc is actually one of the most reliable brands of the world right now (according to JDPower, ADAC and several other statistics).
@consumerreports thanks 4 ur input. Is ur information on the redesign (2009) cts v6 or the 2008 and below. What information do you have on the cts-v sedan? Isn't ur video on the cts-v coupe? Which some upgrades over the base cts, I guess what i'm getting @ is can we compare "apples 2 apples and oranges 2 oranges" thanks 4 ur time...
something these videos dont cover is the creaky recaros, and the center console my only complaint. Opt for the leather wheel instead, alcantara doesnt wear well. The good add full boltons, tune for +80hp/tq and still get 12mpg city everyday driving like stock.
What exactly is the reliability prediction based on?
I believe it has a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, but I would hope most owners won't drive it sideways as in your demonstration.
@rioross GM engines period. the 4.3 is the most badass naturally aspirated V6 ever made.
60 grand is a bargain for that power. But most journalists will always pick an M3
@TheCaptainJA, I've driven American cars my whole life, driven them to high mileage and I don't know ANYONE with an import that didn't have well over twice the problems, and often one of their problems cost far more than the few I've had all added up. That is the truth.
i like those drift
@Anonymous1226 too bad GM axels, transmissions, power mirrors and the little plastic knob button are not.
al capone would be proud
what do you mean not reliable? is there something we should know? Where does that statement come from?
In general, the performance version of a car is less reliable than normal version,
and according to ConsumerReports survey, the reliability of V6 CTS is below average ,
So it is fair to say that CTS-V is likely to be "not the most reliable"(which lots of people understand as "not reliable" here)
im getting one!!!
@TheCaptainJA
Yep, I agree.
Cadillac's are very reliable. ;-)
no shit !!
iam waiting my entire life to get the chance to buy this car .. and iam still waiting for it
i freakin want 1
@Kiraina Caddy's reliablilty scores topped BMW, Merc, Audi and Jaguar for the 2009 model year and 2010 model year. (JD Power & Associates).
Detroit is back despite what badge snobs want to rationalize.
@twoface696 Not true, GM and Ford have both stepped it up quite a bit over the past few years. They use to have a history but not anymore. There both making phenomenal cars. They just don't really point in the direction of making numerious sports performance cars. The closest they normally come is muscle cars, and lets face it, they've always done it the best.
@Janusha The Caddy's ring times are real. BMW is going the route of most automakers, using your best engines across model line. The Twin turbo V8 will be their bread and butter for years to come, mainly because of CAFE standards. It makes good business sense. The GM LS V8 is a bulletproof, reliable, and powerful engine and will continue to be used in direct injected form. Why shelve it for an expensive replacement? What is your point other than advocating bad business decisions?
When did CR become about how fun a car is to drive? I thought CR was concerned with safety, reliability, and durability?
what size torque converter they have
cadi's do work!
Wicked car.
What does he exactly mean with 'reliability'?
Carol Shelby's car also weighed about 2000 pounds less...
Caddys are sweet as hell!!!! especially this one amazing machine!!! CTS V>M5 anyday
@boston7704 - friend bought a cts 3.6 last died 8 times already. there promblems are definetly not gone and ive heard of lots more.
I have the Cadillac coupe and I've had some issues... Cops chasing me, replacing rear tires, and many trips to the gas pump. Other than that, the car runs well.
I wish I knew where people like you got this information. A pulley and tune will NOT get you into the 10s. A 2013 gt500 can make damn near 800 rwhp with minor bolt ons, pulley, tune, exhaust, intake. This is coming from someone with a 700 hp mustang that is currently in the process of buying a 09 CTS V
It comes from Consumer Report's amazingly foreign biased opinions. I've driven that car a million times, and I have never had ANY issues with it.
@SHTINONCHEVY Auto is limited to 175 and manual does over 190. I have one.
who would have thought a cadillac would have would have a comfortable ride. they aren't known for that.
@TVRnGTR OK, tell me which average cars you see average people driving to work every day can top 190.
Nothing's known about its reliability. It was unfair for the reviewer to speculate about the car's reliability.
would love to have one
My dad has one in red

@mauiboypoi what year are you in?
