Car leasing: 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 is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is what to know about the 2016 Cadillac CTS Performance before buying one.

Before you sign for the CTS

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Engine and fuel

Its powertrain is 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.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.6 L/100 km rating. 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.

Size and space

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With a length of 5.02 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the CTS makes sense

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

A longer test drive

Rent the CTS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the CTS on your commute, then decide. Drive the CTS on your commute before you commit to it.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.

Picking a year and a trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. 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.
