2011 Cadillac CTS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The optional Recaro seats are a must despite their $3,400 price, as they provide power-adjustable side bolsters that provide far better lateral support than the standard seats. But the Recaro seats aren't very comfortable, with overly firm bulges here and there. Though the lumbar support can be power-adjusted vertically as well as in-and-out, I couldn't find any position where it was comfortable and ended up adjusting it for minimum intrusiveness. see full Cadillac CTS review |

2011 Cadillac CTS Powertrain: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2011 | Engines don't get more American than a small block V8 fitted with a supercharger. Kicking out 556 horsepower at 6,100 RPM and 551 foot-pounds of torque at 3,800 RPM, the 6.2-liter engine is more than a match for the CTS-V wagon’s considerable 4,398 pounds. It's got thrust (though the car's mass and refinement do make it feel more like a mere 450 horsepower than 556). It's got character (but not so much as to be obnoxious). Uncorking this engine elicits a primal joy. The direct connection provided by the firm-yet-precise manual shifter enhances the experience. More than any other I've driven, this black CTS-V wagon made me want to do bad things. see full Cadillac CTS review |
