Car financing: 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury in Yameri

Buying the 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury

No 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2016 Cadillac CTS Luxury for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the specs mean

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive. 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.

Fuel use is rated 9.6 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. 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.

Best uses

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

How big it is

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The length is 5.02 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A longer test drive

If the CTS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the CTS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Luxury with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Running costs

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. 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.
