I saw a CTS with the regular engine that had the six speed. Still surprises me they offer it. Just don't picture most Caddy owners shifting gears. *** . . . Thats because you image todays Caddy owner as an 80something retired in West Palm Beach playing golf. Caddy has been busy reinventing itself of late. Look at the products they are making today. The CTS is a performance luxury road car built for the enthusiast and for enthusiastic driving. The CTS works well with either transmission. Some people like to shift (me) some don't. Anyone who tries a CTS will fall in love with it - this way you have both choices of transmission.

I have 8800 miles on it and no problems yet. I just drove from Tampa to Indianapolis with the cruise set at the speed limit+5, and I got 27.6 mpg.

muskratjames Champion Author Texas Posts:1,567 Points:162,260 Joined:Feb 2007	Message Posted: Oct 16, 2008 5:42:38 PM Ignore muskratjames Report Abuse Not a bad car...I wasn't wild about them when they came out...kinf of blocky and ugly but I've gotten used to them. Much better than the Catera which never had the torque it needed to do it justice. If I were to buy a car in this league, the Cad or an Audi would be the only two I would look at.

Maui07 Veteran Author Oklahoma City Posts:262 Points:147,665 Joined:Apr 2007	Message Posted: Jan 16, 2008 7:31:39 AM Ignore Maui07 Report Abuse I just purchased a 2008 CTS DI proformance edition two weeks ago. Wow! I cant believe the new style, handling, comfort, power this car has. Lets not forget the bells and whistles too. Simply amazing. If this is a grandpa car, call me grandpa! Need more inside storage but i can surly live with it. Get ready to drop somewhere in the $45,000 range for this baby. Its worth every cent! Happy motoring. oh almost forgot, 22 mpg avg fuel economy.

Detroit Bob Sophomore Author Detroit Posts:162 Points:317,650 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: Mar 11, 2006 8:35:48 PM Ignore Detroit Bob Report Abuse Not only is the CTS-V a great car to drive, I consistantly get over 20 mpg - when I keep my foot of the gas. Handles great on the open road. Buy one if you can afford it. I call it my 4 door Corvette.
