The 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury: before you buy

Before you sign for the CTS

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

It is rated at 9.6 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 29 litres. That works out to about $16.80 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

How big it is

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 5.02 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Try before you buy

Rent the CTS first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the CTS answers more than any brochure. If the CTS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

What it costs to run

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $168 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
