"stealth" wagon
Source: Edmunds

...Had this V-wagon 5 weeks now, and absolutely "love" it......bought the automatic.
What a rush when you step on the gas! A lot of people were trying to talk me out of buying the V-series....why I don't know,
but so far no regrets....Once you test drive one, you fall in love with the car.
The handling is superb, the car hugs the road.....better then my '07 Corvette.
Used to drive BMW's for years. Looks like GM finally made a car I trust taking around corners fast without having to worry for the rear-end to go out ;-)...

Fast and Furious yet Fully Forgiving
Source: Edmunds

...I have started this review several times, each time,
deciding that maybe I was too biased to write it.....spend more time with the car and you will find a flaw to write about....that was my view at 1000 miles,
2500, 5000, 7500, and as I now close in on 10K miles, I am compelled to write my review....This is the best car on the face of the earth, dollar for dollar, that I have ever driven.
I have owned just about every brand of German car and I have a great passion for them to this day, but value for money, I will take my CTS-V sport wagon any day of the week and twice on...

The CTS-V Coupe can never be "Out-Classed"!
Source: Edmunds

..."Rival luxury coupes like the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz CLK550 outclass the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe in terms of comfort, refinement and convenience
." REALLY? The combo of the magnetic ride control and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires make this car the smoothest riding performance coupe on the road.
C&D and MT comparos support this. The Recaro seats and they are both comfortable, yet snug to keep you planted.
Refined? The Coupe is the most head-turning vehicle on the road today.
I have seen cars nearly wreck, trying to get a better look at my coupe.
And Convenience? You...

Drive This Car and then....

...Performance-Comfort-Value. Amazing! 6-speed manual helps "unleash" this puppy. (I know the automatic performs well... perception is reality... the 6-speed manual is a "must have".)...

CTS V
Source: Edmunds

...when they built this car they had all the right ideas on performance and look, great looking car, when it works !
bought the car new last October, so far with 50,000 km on the odometer,
they changed the supercharger 1 month ago, 2 weeks ago, they had to oder new chims for the differential( recall ) and today they tell me they need to change the transmission.
they also wanted 700.00 for the front brake pads ( thats just for the parts ) and 300.00 for the rear. all in all, givin the price, i expected more reliabilty !...

#6
my experience
Source: Edmunds

...I now have had the sedan CTS-V 6-speed automatic for 3 months...it has completely surpassed my expectations...I was surprised to read a previous review about needing new brakes for $700,
considering the car is fully covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles.
The bottom line is any luxury car CAN have problems, and they are usually expensive to deal with, but Cadillac certainly doesn't give any worse service than any other company...

Why I Would Buy One Of These Cars.
Source: CarGurus

...I sold Cadillac's for a few years and this is one of the fastest cars I have ever drove.
The ride the comfort and the gadgets are for anyone who love stuff. I would drive one of these daily if I could fit it in the budget. Discount Dave...

Why should I also consider these?

Closer in size to the mid-size Germans, the Cadillac CTS-V is priced against more compact sports cars.

A chief rival is BMW's M3 lineup of sedans, coupes and convertibles, brilliant performers with V-8 power and hefty curb weights.

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is another paddle-shifted, mega-watt offering, this year with a new coupe body style added to the lineup.

The Lexus IS-F competes on paper, but its interior isn't quite up to snuff, and its eight-speed transmission is a shifty piece--and it's sedan-only.

The Audi S4 is a bit shy on performance, and its supercharged V-6 sounds coarse compared to the Caddy or BMW or Benz, but it's more of a bargain, and has standard all-wheel drive.

Lastly, there's the Infiniti G37 IPL, a more sporty version of the G lineup that's not quite as transformed as the other superheated sports sedans, coupes and convertibles in this class.

 
2012 Audi S4
For those who like what they see in the pert Audi A4 sport sedan but want an emphasis on the 'sport'—without giving up any practicality—the 2012 Audi S4 is the way to go.
 
2012 BMW M3
Despite the weight gain, the BMW M3's still one of the most stunning performance vehicles we've driven.
 
2012 Infiniti G37 Sedan
Forget that the 2012 Infiniti G Sedans are somewhat practical four-door designs; they can provide all the sensory thrills and dynamic satisfaction of full-fledged sports cars.
 
2012 Lexus IS F
The 2012 Lexus IS F is a unique take on the luxury/performance formula, and will appeal to those that find the Germans too performance-focused.
 
2012 Mercedes-Benz C Class
With a new base four-cylinder engine, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class makes even more sense for value-conscious (yet image-conscious) luxury shoppers.
