The 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard; 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. Buying the 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

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. NHTSA has 31 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, power train and engine. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

The figures, translated

Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and 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.

It is rated 9.6 L/100 km combined: about 29 litres every 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $50.40 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

Practical details

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 5.02 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

A week with the CTS answers more than any brochure. A test week in the CTS tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Picking a year and a trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.80 in fuel.
