The 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance for buyers, in plain words.

What to check on the CTS

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Engine and fuel

It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. 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.

Expect about 29 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.6 L/100 km combined rating. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $50.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

The CTS in everyday use

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The body is 5.02 m long and 1.83 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Best uses

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the CTS tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
