Cadillac CTS Coupe (Sports Coupes Pt.1) - Everyday Driver

The guys put the Cadillac CTS coupe against BMW and Audi to see if GM can compete on the German's home turf.

this is the most beautiful car Cadillac ever made

This is absolutely one of the best looking cars ever.

I have had a 2011 high performance 3.6 AWD Premium 6 spd. auto for a year now. I added black chrome wheels, red caliper covers, Cooper Zeon RS3-A tires, an Airaid cold air in take and a Borla exhaust. We've always had SUV or trucks for camping and fishing. It's just my wife and I, we just retired, and love this car. We get complements on it all the time. Looks great, sounds great and fun to drive.

So many years later and this is still one of the most underrated cars in its class.

I own an '05 CTS SPORT. Man, l love that beautiful machine.

I love the fact that EverydayDriver picks even, interesting matchups every time. Can't wait for part 2 and 3.

Mannnn i bought my mother one 2 years ago and recently she let me drive it to a party one night and i fell in love with this car ALLL over again and i bought me a used one WHAT A BAD AZZZZ CAR.

@aceHADOKAN69 - Sorry to bring any confusion. They have 3 variations of the CTS. The base price of the high-end version we were in (Premium) starts at $47, 000. The one we tested had options on top of that.

You are correct, you can get into the CTS coupe base for $38, 000, but it's pretty bare... it doesn't even have a full leather interior or bluetooth, for example.

[EverydayDriver]

@AlternativeUses - The CTS-V is aimed more at the BMW M3, which means it's also up against the Audi RS5 - a car we don't have in the US... yet. Those are all 400+ hp monsters with price tags around 70k.

This group is all in the 300hp range, and in the 50k range for price. That's why we grouped these guys together for this comparo.

Thanks for watching. The BMW piece is a few weeks (not months) away. ;-)

In terms of looks I'd take this car over a Gallardo, but that's just me

[EverydayDriver]

We hope you watched the entire comparison to see the results and understand our reasoning. But, as we've stated before these were the top versions just below the high performance models (The M3, RS5, & CTS-V). If we included the A5 we would have needed a lessor version of the other two models as well.

[tracyrapp]

let me tell you all something this car handles like it 's on rails, I have pushed it and it's very responsive for the weight of it but I have driven it and if you think this thing is a clod you have the wrong idea, this car moves and steers where you put it, and yes it's a Cadillac, and that's why I bought it, because I don't trust bmw or Mercedes, they cost to much after the purchase .

[mjdart]

Actually I could feel the honesty from both drivers, well

[YngwieGuitarGod]

Beautiful car. Stands out from the crowd of "blah" common-looking cars. Love this color also.

[mak]

I like how Todd described it as a "luxury muscle-car"  but maybe more towards the CTS-V tho??

[EverydayDriver]

@yyyy2999 - It was closed for a while because of Fires in the Angeles Crest. But, it's all open now and repaved... amazing driving!

[michaelwright]

The car sets are amazing beautiful breathing! If its not broken leave it a lone. Great job GM the sky can never be the limit until we reach Heaven with Jesus Christ!!!

[EverydayDriver]

@plagick - Yes, Angeles Crest HWY. Good eye. It isn't all closed, but you have to be creative to find access. Too bad, really, as it's great driving.

[EverydayDriver]

@asdfgoogle - Great catch. BMW pioneered the Sports Sedan segment with their 3 series - and then proceeded to make the 3 in every other variation: Convertible, Coupe, and Wagon. So, while they are all offshoots of the same major idea (Sports Sedans) - we are specifically focused on the Coupe part here.
