TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Cadillac CTS
| 2013 Cadillac CTS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The first two generations of the CTS were "in between" cars larger than a BMW 3-Series but more compact than a BMW 5-Series. Contented and priced like the former, they weren't pitched as competitors to the latter. With the third-generation sedan this has changed. The new CTS leaves the 3er for the ATS and goes head-to-head with the 5er. However, the 2014's exterior and interior are only a bit more expansive than those of the 2008-2013 car. Also, the rear doors do not open wide enough for easy entry. You'll still find a roomier, more comfortable, easier to access rear seat in the 5-Series, even if the official specs suggest otherwise. see full Cadillac CTS review | ||
