This is a great review, I am just now seeing it for the first time. I have a 2008 CTS in crystal red with black leather. Mine has all the options, like the direct injected 3.6 V6 (304 hp), sunroof, all performance and luxury options, 18" wheels, navigation (which I don't use), fog lights, remote start, etc. The ride is firm, but I'm used to it, I've had it nine years now. No accidents, 120,000 miles now. I really take care of this car even though it's still a daily driver, love this car! I feel this car is under appreciated, and will be a future classic.

I have a 2008 that I purchased with 4000 miles on it in 2009 (it now has 153k miles). It is the top trim level, fully optioned, 3.6 DI with performance suspension and brakes. The FE3 suspension ride was way too firm for my taste so I switched out the struts for FE1 struts, what a world of difference! The ride is much more compliant now.

I recently replaced the struts either Monroe’s. These are even firmer than the originals! The ride is smoother though, and I get better mileage and performance.

Purchased a 2010 CTS4 ( all wheel drive ) three and a half years ago .. the car had 140,000 miles on it at the time .. has the 3 litre motor .. car has been AMAZING ! Other than regular oil changes , the car hasn’t cost me a dime in repairs .. I’m 68 years of age , and had some really nice vehicles in my time .. but this is definitely my favourite .. one reason I purchased it was because from 2008-2014 the model looks exactly the same .. ( still looks comparable to the newest versions of the car ) In my travels I’ve spoken to other owners of this model , and every person has nothing but good things to say about theirs ..

I have a 2012 CTS4 Coupe I picked up a year ago and just love it. Original owner took amazing care of it and dealer serviced its whole life. 9 years old and it still turns heads everywhere I go. I work for GM and grew up in a family that had a series of Cadillacs over the years but this is my first one.

Great review. I recently bought a silver with black leather, 2009 CTS with the direct injection 3.6 V6 (304hp) and absolutely love the way it drives. Yes, the ride is very much on the firm side (it does feel a lot like my C5 Corvette) but the handling and pure joy of driving the CTS makes the ride worthwhile. Plus I love the way it looks inside and out. Bought it with 69,000km on it and I plan to add many more. Oh, and factory built right hand drive. I'm in New Zealand.

Loved your Review! Got my CTS4 3.6 AWD a day ago, with only 80k Kilometers from a 90 year old man. Very rare here in Germany, wasn’t a big successor here. But I don’t understand why - cause it’s fully equipped, has a really luxury feeling and drives like heaven. Finally got myself my first real American 🇺🇸 car and I’m proud of it 😎✌🏼

I loved this review of the CTS, it's a car I always wondered about - that interior design is so nice- seats and dash. The rear end is styled very nice -holds up so many years later! Very interesting that it rides more like a Vette! Even on your flat smooth country streets there, you could feel it. Your drone views and music are very much like a commercial or a movie, so well done! Can't get that from too many other reviewers if any! You know what you are doing! This CTS looks great from above- actually looks bigger than it does looking at it on the ground! Love seeing cars of this vintage too, thanks for doing this one James! Awesome job!

I've actually never driven one though and it looks super hard to actually see out the back window 😂

Love your videos. I had a right hand drive 2009 CTS in crystal red tintcoat. It had level 3 package and that car really pressed me. I had the SAAB based BLS before that which was smaller. But my CTS was awesome until GM pulled out of South Africa. Only 100 were sold here of which many have already been totalled. There are currently only 2 available for sale as used on the market right now. Mine didn't have a backup camera which was odd since the 2008 Jag had one, bit it did have those little led lights above the rear seats which pit up as the parking sensors picked up obstructions and when all 6 were lit, that's when you don't dar backup any further 🤣. I would still have my CTS if GM didn't leave the country, but nobody can service them here now so I moved to Jaguar. Mine had satnav but the maps weren't licensed so it showed one sitting in the middle of nowhere. The screen would pop up as well and at least it had TV which I could watch while stationery. Great channel, keep up the good work. I love big American cars and your channel satisfies that appetite for me 😉👍

I liked all three gens of the CTS, but for my money, this is probably the best looking. The fact that you could also get the wagon or coupe was a fun throwback to the days when automakers had more than one bodystyle per model. With the CTS-V, you even had the option for multiple engines and transmissions. It was an interesting era when Cadillac was still making good, traditional luxury Cadillacs and the new style sportier models that did battle with the Germans. Now, I can't help but feel like Cadillac has almost entirely sacrificed the idea of luxury cars for SUVs, crossovers, and those sporty models. And at least CTS, STS, and DTS stood for something....can't get past the bland alphanumeric names now.

Good point! This CTS was definitely extremely special and unique with the many different kinds offered.

Hopefully Cadillac will go back to making more special cars with their electrification. The future seems exciting! Thank you so much for commenting and for watching the video

I wish I could say that this is a great car and in some ways it is, but I feel like GM gave this to a child to put together with the best parts that the child could find. The major concern is the timing chain it craps out before it's time not to mention if you have a moon roof expect major water damage. Mine has been in the shop for 2 months and they still don't know what's wrong with it.

HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM! I have a 2009 cts, the part that hold the car battery into place was already gone when I bought the car, TWICE a fire has started in the battery compartment from the battery sliding around in the car

That's a pretty serious issue! I have not heard of it happening but I'd recommend going over to one of the Cadillac CTS forums. Other owners may be able to help you with the problem. Good luck, Tom!

@@JW_Reviews yes very scary, lucky it still runs and starts fine, I'm almost positive it's only because the battery has lots of room to bang into things when not bolted down properly

Good question! I believe there are several different versions of the 3.6L which made different outputs depending on which one you get. Thanks for watching the video!!

In My Opinion ... The 2nd Generation CTS Looks Better Than The 3rd Generation CTS & Maybe I'm More Bias Because I Have A 2nd Gen CTS , But The 3rd Generation CTS Do Look Nice & Cadillac Really Stepped Up The CTS Class To A Stylish Look With Swagg

I have same car 2008, you need to change the oil @ 3000 to 4000 miles. I had to replace the three timing chains and four pulleys at 200000 for a cost of $3,000. Have liked car for driving, interior and looks. More frequently on oil change will save you money in long run.

I love that car I'm going to buy one but it has super thin tires on the front someone customized it with thin tire's I don't know if I would like that too much due to the rough riding it might have with those tires it had but I really want the car it's so beautiful.

I've heard mixed things about the second gen CTS. They seem to be nice cars but not always the greatest reliability. However, these cars are now getting to be 10+ years old, so things are going to break at this mileage and age. Thank you for watching the video!

Those door handle locks go out, the unlock in the back don't work well, the sunroof leaks, the ignition coils go bad, the gas pump is faulty(leaks gas), some have timing chain problems (like the older). Cadi shyt the bed on these with quality and reliability.

Yes, the second generation CTS did have its flaws. The sun roof did leak on this car, but there was a buildup of "gunk" in some of the drainage holes in the trunk and worn away rubber which was fixed.
