We live in Houston, Texas and my dad is a Cadillac fan and is thinking about getting the 2008 CTS. Can you give me some insights on the features of this car?

What this newly formed CTS offer was plentiful, what it was lacking was me behind the wheel full time. The car is balanced, super fluid powertrain and drivetrain. I had not driven that many other European stalwarts, but this was full of class and uniqueness. I call it eccentric, as I have never seen something that deviated from the cheese ball form, it was a look all its own. It was a stealth fighter Cadillac.

This car is quiet, clean fit and finish, superb ergonomics. The seats were really comfortable and its dash panels were soft to the touch. Finally, Cadillac has put the money where its mouth is, and won! I drove a model without the Direct Injection and the Smart Navigation system through the district streets of Houston. Although I’ve have seen the navigator work on a demo model, I must say it’s really revolutionary. Do you remember the globe in Geography class, that’s how it is detailed. You could almost think you can touch the screen and feel the mountains and rivers on the graphics, good job.

My all time favorite feature are the taillights, it’s just simply a work of art. Cadillac built it with the lights with led bullets and led light tubes; it was an awesome display of lighting. The crevices were tight, and the wheel bows flares out on the front and back, as it looked like an Italian design. The White Diamond metallic paint was fabulous as well.

Generally, I am impressed with the complete package. But I can’t do a review without spotting a couple of negatives. One complaint I had was the rear seats, I’m six foot tall and I just don’t feel that comfortable with my knees digging into the rear of the front seats. Cadillac should have also made the remote start feature a standard on all the models, not just for the Luxury Collection package. Price was indeed competitive with this test model’s price amounting just around 35,890, fully loaded DI models with navigator and AWD can hit the mid forty’s. That’s in line with the rest, base model just slightly cheaper than others as compared to other Houston Lexus Car Dealers.
