5 things I HATE and LOVE about my Cadillac CTS-V | V2 | 2009 |

[@S62Uce]

Just picked up a 2011 silver wagon with 22k miles. It’s auto but still hauls ass and is a ton of fun to drive

[@DeiHarper9361]

V wagon???? I know you had to pay about 60k for that 😂. Good buy 👍 hopefully I can own one some day

[@raulsanchezjr4048]

2012-2015 center consoles were the best mechanical gauges made for the V. The 2016-19 had the full electric gauges that you can seap between a couple of looks or designs but on that one the best is the odometer in the middle with the mechanical speedo to one side and the digital underneath. I love them both! I just paid off the coupe and got the 19 in January keeping them both until the lord comes for me! Coupe came with 556/551 now has 707/701 the sedan still stock at 640/630. Looking forward to adding 800 to the coupe and probably 1000hp on the sedan!!!

[@thedreadfulwhale6465]

I just got a 2013 with 12,000 miles on it and I absolutely love it.

[@getyomoneyup]

That’s a steal!!

@@getyomoneyup how’s it a steal ? You don’t even know what he paid 😂

[@6pistvlz]

@@Lazer-yi6qgbro thats a 2013 with 12k. Thats prob only 1 owner

[@Drkfrzr11]

If they don't know CTS V. They will learn quick. 😅

[@ianbehm8393]

Your videos have really helped me in my search for a V. Thank you!

[@UnkownDraco]

Just got a trailblazer ss, I’m already over it even tho it was my dream truck. I want me a cts-v boiii nice car man

[@1KhaliDP]

So crazy that I came across this post man. My exact situation. Had an all white AWD 3SS 68k original miles with a stroked out LS2 on e85, BTR stage 4 cam, and a 150 shot of haul ass in it, I loved it. The v is my literal favorite now, the TBSS is cool but it’s heavy as hell. You’re missing out Julio

[@UnkownDraco]

@@1KhaliDP sweeettt man congratulations, I’m definitely looking forward to getting one in the future

[@davidchi7360]

Now I’m in the same situation I have a 06 TBSS full bolt on and built trans awd about to sell it to get a v lol

[@snackymcgoo1539]

I have a 2011. I hate that you can't pop the trunk with the button on door unless you are in park or neutral. I hate that you can't press the preset seat adjust button to reposition unless you are in park or neutral. I hate that there is a certain combination of steps, which if you 1) Open driver door, 2) open trunk with button 3) lock your car while inside and door is open, then 4) close the door and 5) go to trunk to get stuff, 6) close trunk, 7) go back and unlock and open and get in and close the driver door, that the trunk re-opens, pops up on it's own. I hate that I can't turn off interior lights from automatically turning on when I open the door.

[@yatubekid]

Great video. Hoping to get a V2 soon and I'm going to BUILD IT A LOT!

[@AndrewPruteanu]

It's still a sleeper if you debadge it, I've seen plenty of base model cts, they look very similar.

[@curtisdahmen3459]

I’m here. Out front

[@DeiHarper9361]

Idk man, a true car guy knows. Even without the badge you know a V from a base model. Now the V sport. It’s worth debadging

[@raulsanchezjr4048]

On the 2016-19 that center console is not a storage its for charging the phone. Thats it! The center console armrest is where to store things

[@TheJerk17]

sick i have a '12 cts4 coupe with only 55k miles with the 3.6l in it. love this thing.

[@christopherlaflam6383]

Beautiful car, man. I've got a 2014 XTS VSport. Almost perfect.

[@metadata4255]

I don't mean to be a hater but a VSport crossover is a far cry from a CTS-V...

[@moe4e]

We are all brothers. Enjoy the XTS V 👍

[@sammy1995]

$350 for the front tires , $375 for the rears .

Hey man, I’m about to get a 09 v2, first thing I wanna do is black out all the chrome, how did u do yours?

[@iraqifoodcart8447]

Did you look at the Lexus ISF when you were shopping for the CTSV? If the answer is yes, what made you choose the CTSV over the ISF?

[@danielvara2181]

Well it’s supercharged

[@mfmjr4]

And Manual

[@AMGEVAN]

quick question. Did you remove the wreath or do you have a brand new badge from the V3?

[@OctaneSlain]

Front badge is blacked ATS-V badge. Rear badge is rear V3 trunk badge

[@AMGEVAN]

Thanks bro, not to ask a whole bunch of questions but there isnt a lot of information out there for this topic. I am a coupe owner myself. Was the badges on the grill tough to take off? Any tips? By the way, I am stealing your style on the emblems! Im not blacking them but i love the look!

[@OctaneSlain]

@@AMGEVAN No problem man. And I'm not sure about removing the factory grille emblem, to be honest. My grille is an ebay blackout aftermarket one. The badge has 3M adhesive on it. But myself and others, JB weld a zip tie to the back of the badge and zip tie it to the center (so it won't fall off). I had a V1 and done the same thing with it. Got an aftermarket grille and the same badge. But I JB welded it directly to the grille

[@AMGEVAN]

@@OctaneSlain your car looks bad ass the way it sits.

[@OctaneSlain]

I appreciate it man 💯

[@unforgiven101inc]

beautiful Ryan I got a 2009 also where do you get your Cadillac badge on the trunk.

[@raulsanchezjr4048]

As for rear space youre also wrong! Theyre all the same inside the only difference is the head space as the coupe swoops down sharply taking away some headroom but still at 6ft or shorter youd fit fine. Its got more legroom space than mustangs,camaros or chargers! Which are all coupes

[@terrymorris415]

Then he's correct. Coupes have less head room. You just admitted it. Nut-hugging over a car just makes you look pathetic and sad.

[@CadillacKenny]

Should have got a coupe. Totally different car sitting in it and driving. Had both

[@samstudley5519]

What was better about the coupe?

[@ISLAMICSTORIES13]

how is the coupe better? i like the sedan look more

i love the electric parking brake on my 21 GMC lolol

[@OctaneSlain]

The technology has matured a lot since the V2 days. My TRD Camry even automatically applies the parking brake everytime I shift into park. The V2 is a car that feels like it needs a manual handbrake. I feel like it's more fitting for supercharged LS power RWD haha
