Review: 2016 Cadillac CTS-V

[@common91941]

3 years 3 months later after watching this video I finally got this damn car and I want my v buried next to me when I die no joke.

[@shaiheimmcrae192]

Congrats!

[@SealTeamThicc]

How’s ownership & reliability been? Looking to pickup a used CTS-V in the next few weeks

[@unclemel8276]

@@SealTeamThicc Just make sure, the car you choose. Has had thst trans flush. Trans shudder has been a huge problem. I have an 18 CTS V Championship Edition. Had mind flushed last year

[@casper3618]

Fuck yeahh my boa congrats! I own a 2014 Chrysler 200 v6 and I'm in love w it. Reminds me v much of a cadillac. However after some car shopping/browsing and digging I've found the cts v and jesus this thing looks fucking amazing to say the least. Congrats bro

Would have been cool if your ZO6 was wrapped and you could have done a drag - see the difference in weight and slight limit in power. But you'll be able to do that when your mate gets his ZL1 😂

[@genisandreu3059]

+subaruwrxfan why? the hellcat is better in everything except the handling. Is this that good in comparison?

[@jonathanmalarkey4552]

+Genís Andreu hellcat is much cheaper

[@brycebaty240]

+Genís Andreu CTS-V has better handling, much more comfortable, is a sedan so it can be a family car, and has a much better build quality. CTS-V is also almost 300 lbs. lighter in weight. It's just sad that it is that much lighter and is a sedan.

[@BIGGIEBAG-XL]

This is the first time ive wanted a Cadillac more than any other car. You broke my heart when I heard $100,000 💔

[@juliancontreras6502]

I had the opportunity to drive the 1st and 2nd generation CTS-V. Really fun cars and the performance has been well sorted out by Cadillac. Every generation has been an improvement over the past.....but I do have to say I miss a manual transmission.

[@dylandavies3634]

thank you for making this video. we are buying one next year and great to see more vids on it because there aren't many right now!

[@rfreemanmodeling]

9:44-9:48 I never seen you have that kind of reaction behind the wheel of any other review that you've done lol, I bet that was a very fun moment behind the wheel! awesome review, that car looks incredible!

[@t3hdude]

Dude you get some seriously impressive cars. GM has been hooking you up nicely. Nice choice of music in the beginning too.

[@ethangee96]

WOW. Seems like a good all rounder if you ask me. That thing looks sinister!

[@Speedaholics]

Too bad they discontinued the manual. My dad considered this car but went with the ATS-V because of the manual.

[@RAJohnson713]

That's a shame

[@Speedaholics]

The ATS-V is still really fast though and you can get all the great options like the PDR, Brembo's, and carbon fiber package

+Real Life Eddy Hope youre able to achieve this goal man! its a beast of a machine

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

+gstreetfee It may not beat hellcats stock, but I'll be 37 and I, over of all night hangouts and street races. just want a super comfortable car that I can slam the peddle sometimes for a little excitement or pick up a gf in and she'll smile.

[@gstreetfee]

honestly this thing is so much more sophisticated than a hellcat it will probably hook up and shift faster and might pull off a win. There are few road cars that aren't exotics that could keep up with this thing. Good luck man!

[@Vincent2wice]

+Real Life Eddy Sooooo. you're buying a car that will have good throttle response and might be impressive to women? Are you certain you're in your 30's? cause that sounds like some teenager type shit my boi.

[@RealLifeEddy2K]

Vincent2wice Teenager or not driving around in a 100k car would be difficult for most kids unless there parents are well off. Yes women are shallow and yes they judge you by the car you have and the house you live in, don't be fooled it's not what's on the inside that counts, not in America.

[@storm14k]

I'm telling you... you need to make the "red face giggle meter" to rate the cars. I wait every time to see how excited you get to know how serious the car is. Keep up the great reviews man.

[@castejb]

The shot with the sunset in the background at the beginning of the video is sick. Always improving

[@vcupiano]

I really thought you were going to have an aneurism each time you accelerated. Pretty funny.

[@SlowN55]

Who else watches his videos only to skip to the parts where he floors it to see his reaction.

[@clovisthefirst492]

this is why Lincoln is no where near cadillac... well and the fact that their whole line up is cheap rebaged fords and have interiors only comparable to buick and acura not comparable to any cadillac or lexus.

[@Stingray_614]

Right I consider Lincoln and Acura more "premium" brands. They're nice but not quite luxury. (I own an 08 Acura TL)

[@Beanjuice]

+clovis myers As a Ford fan myself I have to agree with your statement. Lincoln hasn't really been trying to out-do caddi and BMW/Merc though. It's more of a premium Ford line-up rather than a luxury brand.

[@CadexLaw]

+Aziz I compare Acura to Honda, like most people. Except for the NSX

[@kylesvanlife5875]

+T0psid3 honda fucking makes acura and the nsx...

[@CadexLaw]

+Kyle Johnson That's what I mean. Acura shouldn't be compared to a luxury/Premium car brand.

[@jonswiftucf]

I had a 2010 CTS-V in manual and loved it. They have come so far, I never had any problems with mine. Love what they have done.

[@timothylim2257]

[@fmkidskater]

+Ramy Warda In this? Maybe. I drive a 630hp+ monster. This is 640. But it's also not meant to make you feel like it wants to rip your face off.

[@frostmasterxxx8938]

[@M_Customized_Box]

Getting a blacked out cts-v is basically GM bringing back the grand national

[@scrubadub1537]

They need a new grand national

[@M_Customized_Box]

+b308p gaming I don't think they will, but that's how I see the cts-v. It's an up-trim GM car, can be all blacked out, and has an absolutely savage engine. Essentially what the grand national was, though that was just a T-Type with black paint

[@skyez3396]

+NOT MEATBRICK64 and a turbo

[@johnlukach4091]

I love the Grand National but the capability of this car is leagues ahead.

[@PacoRobbins]

I'd say a blacked out ATS-V would be the Grand National since it's a TT V6.

[@darkseid2021]

I've never cared about Cadillac's until now, damn that's an amazing ride... makes me forget about wishing for a camaro or stingray

[@abcdLeeXY]

I can't afford either car but base on the reviews why would anyone spend the same amount of money (depending on specs) to buy the CTS-V over the M5?

[@JK-wi5en]

+abcdLeeXY The M5 optioned out like this car is would cost around another $10-20k. Not to mention, the CTS-V is more powerful. Also, as stated, paying for repairs is going to be much more expensive for an M5. It all just depends on what you look for in a car. If you're looking for the badge/brand prestige and luxury more than performance, you go with an M5. If you're looking for a decently comfortable performance based car, you go with the CTS-V.

[@Shooter60X]

if i had 2 backpacks one Jansport and one Gucci and told you inside the Jansport was $150,000, and keys to a Rolls. while the Gucci backpack had keys to a Ford escort and 2 scratch tickets. ur fucked up brain would choose the Gucci backpack. i guarantee it!!!!

[@arnoldmatthews834]

Yup i would take m5 over ctsv anyday

[@TheUglySlug666]

Just get an Audi RS6 over both of them - it's more expensive, yes, but it's a lot better.

[@TheUglySlug666]

190MPH 3.5 Seconds to 60MPH 4.0 litre V8 Bi-Turbo which is fairly good on fuel Incredible exhaust note Incredibly aggressive, yet elegant looks Fantastic build quality Perfect interior

Usually you get those types of reviews from people that own the car for an extended period of time. When you test drive a car you miss a lot & don't really have the time for the negatives to bother you.

If I could afford $140,000 I'd buy it, yes I'm in Canada.

[@Antxfresh]

It doesn't cost that much bro

[@That8oySimba9302]

+Woll Smoth He's talking in Canadian money fam. For example, Lexus GSF are around 87 thousand in USA. In Canada, it's around 98 thousand. Also depends on what trim level he or she wants. 140K Canadian is about 107K in the states

[@duramax78]

+That8oySimba9302 plus we pay more, or should I say get ripped off more, if you bought this car, drove it off the lot in Canada your looking at at least $135,00.00.

[@Spinal2111]

They still aren't that much, unless OP is including tax/dealer fees. The online build/price for me came out to $108,000 + tax. Here in Ontario it'd be ~ $122k with tax(13%), so I'm sure with extended warranty and dealer fees it'd crowd 130k but certainly not 140.

The vehemence with which Automotive Journalism goes after CUE is completely played-out and unnecessary. Cliché & pathetic, really!
