The 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium for buyers

No 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium 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. Before you buy the 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

What to check on the CTS

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked.

Engine and fuel

The powertrain to know here is 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.6 L/100 km rating. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.80 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

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. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

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

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the CTS answers the big questions. Rent the CTS for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the CTS tells you more than any review.

What it costs to run

Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. 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.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Premium with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
