Car leasing: blue 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium in Yameri

Buying the 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Before you buy the 2016 Cadillac CTS Premium, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Under the hood

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it. 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.

At 9.6 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 29 litres of fuel. At our price setting, it costs about $16.80 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What to expect from the CTS

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. 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.

When the CTS makes sense

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

A longer test drive

Try the CTS on your commute, then decide. If the CTS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the CTS answers the big questions.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $168 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.

Choosing the right one

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. 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.
