2014 Cadillac CTS Review

The CTS is all new. This third generation cadillac is lighter, with more power than the competition.

2024 and I just got the '14 CTS Luxury 3.6 AWD. Amazing car and drivetrain. Smooth and quick transmission, great power and speed. 144 top speed while average mpg is 25 in the city. Can keep up and looks better than most V8. Bose sound system with 13 center point configuration that's plenty even for sound enthusiasts. I'm 6 ft 260 and I fit perfectly in the driver's seat with enough room for me behind my driver's seat position. Rear passenger and rear window curtain is a little executive touch. So for me a very well maintained luxury Cadillac with the same aesthetic as a 2017 model for 1/5 of the original price, I absolutely love it ‼️

IMO there's too much talk about competitors. I don't care for BMW's. I like the CTS.

Just beautiful. I have not seen you review an XTS VSport Platinum. If you thought this CTS was nice, the XTS, in VSport Platinum is just fantastic! I know - I own one!

I can't speak for every model, but the cts that this car replaces have above average reliability according to consumer ratings. In comparison, BMW's are notorious for electric issues. My father owns a foreign car repair shop, and German cars keeps him in business. My bro drives a 2012 5 series, and already it has electrical quirks, like the sunroof randomly opening, and the windows rolling down on their own after the car had been parked.

Zack, what is the colour of the 2014 CTS that you had in the driveway?

[johnls]

The CTS has aluminum in most of its body structure. So therefore it is fair to say the car is lighter than the 5 series. The 5 series does not use aluminum like the CTS does in most places.

I’ve had my 2014 Cadillac CTS for over a year and I have to say do not get the new Cadillac CT5 it is such a downgrade on materials and some features. The CT5 doesn’t have rear heated seats, it doesn’t have rear sunshades and it doesn’t have premium materials like the CTS did. Get the CTS.

Always a pleasure watching your reviews Zack! - Not a huge fan of "The Caddy" but wow, very compelling.

200 quality car review videos, good job Zack!

[jonmath]

Zack doesnt the instrument cluster look very cheap and dated? I think should have the lcd cluster as standard!

Great review. But what will happen to the CTS-V wagon? Will be bigger as well or are they going to change it to the ATS-V wagon? :]

[Zohirul-Jewel]

Witch would you say is better Cadillac or BMW? I have seen many reviews individual and head to head comparison's and the ATS seems better because it seems to give better feed back, produce more power and has better handling.

I want that dam bad ass..
You Sir, says no BS. Love your reviews.

Nice review, but it's a little unfair for you to say that it's a big deal that this car is lighter than the 5 series when it's so much smaller. It's not like they have an aluminum frame or some other expensive weight saving technique; they just cut down on interior volume. As for power, BMW is notorious for underrating their engines; proof of this is the fact that the 3 series handily beats the ATS in 0-100km/h times even though it supposedly has less power and weighs more.

[demariojason]

I'm trying to figure out whats the difference between this and the ATS, ...the letter?

[Paulose]

They should fit the ls2 engine from the chevrolet ss to this car. That would be a bast! 421 hp / 420 torque from a normally aspirated engine.

[gabrielash]

The second generation CTS v with the supercharged v8 lapped the ring in less than eight minutes.

[victorperu]

where is the review on trunk space? under the hood? 

[Arcticarc]

Since when did cadillac had a good reliability?

But it's a cool looking car alright, plus it has some good engines

[guycohenhanoch]
