Auto loans: the 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance for buyers, in plain words.

Before you sign for the CTS

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Plan on about 29 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.6 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $16.80, and a 300 km weekend about $50.40. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

When the CTS makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

Space and size

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. It is 5.02 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

If the CTS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the CTS on your commute before you commit to it.

Picking a year and a trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.80 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $168 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

The CTS and Yameri

Yameri is about 3,364 km from our Toronto location, beyond the area we deliver to. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Yameri.
