As someone who as driven BMW and all the other sport sedan cars i still prefer the CTS with its rear wheel drive and the 3.6 it may not be a BMW or any other car but I know i get more enjoyment out of it and the competitors are over priced and need the dealer for every little thing
I would like to see all you CTS haters when it comes time to do anything like oil changes or something simple. Leave it to the Germans to make you buy crazy tools and parts to do very simple things.
Then again, you probably don't change your own oil or tires, do you?
Besides, I would rather spend my money on a car who's engineering is located in my own country.
why is like every cadillac video i go to a hatefest. who gives a fuck if your 330i is faster than this, go watch 330i videos and dont hate on the CTS. id take this CTS over any comparing luxury sport sedan honestly, i like cadillacs. i watch bmw and audi and other car videos but i dont go around saying my shits the best, to me it is tho
@chris000089 ha, and how much did that BMW cost brand new? How much value will your 3 series hold? Yea, thought so. And I'm one of them who LIKES bmw.
@FiredUpZ28 $43,000 new. The value holds much better than any American car, in fact, even better than any Japanese brand excluding Honda. You don't know what you're talking about. Sorry, pal. Yeah I thought so.
@alnebular , fifth gear doesn't work ? i think we've went as fast as we can go .. and i counted the shifts .. four as i recall . hmm , you're right . thanks for telling me ! you learn something new everyday . and yeah , the sport mode is great . fun in the sun , if you ask me . what year is your CTS ?
thats slow a 1.6 liter can do 0-60 in 7 seconds. A 2 liter can do it in 6 seconds, but for an american car I guess a 3.6 doing it in 6.5 secs is good.
hope you are kidding. its not making any sense. put that 2(probably talk about some kind of civic engine,k20) liter in that big car and see what happen.
If I needed a car that big Id buy a BMW 535d so I could get 50 mpg and do 0-60 in 6 seconds. It would be able to corner and wouldn't have dash that looks like it belongs in a old Ford Fiesta. Every Country knows that Cadillac sucks, its just the over patriotic Americans that don't want to admit they can't build cars.
@cashw55 dude what country are you from move to japan eat rice and get over it. Have even sat in a cts. Probably not. So go lick some japanese ass u are certainly kissing it..
@Bradmotherfolker BMW is German. I have not said anything positive about Japanese cars, Im not licking ass. I only stated that I don't think the cts is a good car.
loll seems you know alot loll cant stop laughing. I like those kind of comments with non sense. You know what, an F-16 can go much faster you knew that? We dont give a fuck about your 1.6 or 2 liter freakin jap vagina tech engine. You knew that? Rice
Nah you did not annoyed me, I just love to speak with ricers. You got a coke can on it? Helicopter wing to get more hp's? Sorry for the author of this vid I dont like to get out of the videos subject. Good vid on the way nice Cadi.
@cashw55 I agee, even though your comments are childish and uninformed, we should not ask you to do the world a favor and commit suicide. BTW, what car (using your infinite knowledge) do you drive? My guess is nothing special and you get you info while surfing the internet with you pants down around your ankles.
If your talking about a normally aspirated engine well you have to take in account size. Sure a small sports car weighing around 3000lbs no problem but a full size sedan...come on.
Acura - did you buy put a wing on it yet? Yo, yo, yo, check my TSX dawg; got the R-type kajiyama tec engine and it's dope. I'll run your crap over with my Dodge truck you worthless ricer no pride having sell-out. We roll American in the South because we love our country. You buy Jap and you are a sell-out; straight-up sell-out: no two ways about it.
In all honesty, no it's not. Mexicans will end up here anyways, might as well give em something to do in their own land so we won't have to worry about the health care and literacy and social security and welfare and all that shit. I say it's worth every penny to pay a Mexican to do it in their own country.
And we get our cars cheaper too. HA!
Ford and Toyota are global firms. Having a Toyota plant in Texas is no different to Japs than Ford having a plant in Mexico is to us.
You do realize the Big3 employ 489,758 Americans, and Non-Big3 companies (including non-Japanese car companies, but apparently not including Honda of Mexico, Hyundai, Subaru, and Mercedes-Benz) currently employ 115,828 (up 27,183 since 2000).
Yah they only buy American. They own a Saturn, pontiac, silverado SS, and a 79 Stingray. My family used to only buy American, but my Dad got into a horrible Motorcycle wreck and thought he deserved a nice new Mercedes which he bought. After that, he got a job 2 hours 1 way away, and this is only when they had crappy honda electric cars so he bought a Prius for gas purposes. I believe in supporting our economy but imports are like drugs! Very high temptation levels.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
just btw, that was 7.27 secs as I timed it, but anyway, that's kinda pathetic for a V6. I've driven an Acura TSX which is a 201hp 4cyl iVTEC. Right about 8 secs. Saves alot of gas too.
wrong.. CTS's of this year were in the 6.5-6.8 range which is ALOT faster then the boring, no torque having TSX's.. and try around 26 mpg highway for the CTS.
I change the oil every 3 months or 3000 miles. I have timed myself to 60 during the winter and the summer in sport mode and the times are pretty consistent. 8.3-8.5 seconds. I got the car from my dads cousin when it had 22000 miles on it. I have inspected the engine compartment and the air filter needs to be changed but I noticed that the plastic bolt covers on top of the intake are missing, probably some type of work. Maybe what ever was done to it is the reason it is not pulling like it should
it's definitely not the tranny fluid, my car is the company car....which means I pay for NOTHING...gas, maintenance and depreciation is paid by the company...I read on another review that it's just that the shift gates lack refinement...but it's free at least :)
Well it's probably because you aren't in the best conditions. Some reviews rate the 3.2 at 0-60 in 6.9, but you should be able to achieve that. Make sure your sport mode is on and before you floor the throttle have your foot on the brake, raise the rpms to about 1500 or 2000 and then quickly take your foot off the brake and jam it. You should get better times using that method.
My dad has the same car...I've driven it and I find it pretty quick...assuming that your friend didn't mistreat it and maintained it properly it should be good...but you need to take it for a test drive and find out for yourself. A couple reviews put 0-60 at around 7 seconds for the 2.8
This is true, I work for a Suzuki dealership, who also sells the GMC Acadia, they are both one and the same! I get to work on them daily, and they are very similar.
sadly i have to agree. The interior of this car is shit. The 08 is much better where the only thing plastic in the car is the back of the front seats so little kids don't mess them up.
i love to rev this thing through the gears, it has this perfect pitch especially high in the rpm's. i wish that someone did performance products for this style motor and car. a made turbo would be great on this piece
The 3.6 is related to the holden family of engines... its used in all sorts of vehicles , including suzukis, and alfa romeo even uses a variant of it.
yeah it runs a 3.42 rear, the LY7 V6, and the 5L40-E auto which is only supposed to handle 250 ft-lbs, but the LY7 puts out 252. The reason some of these cts' have tranny problems? Quite possibly :)
