Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the figures tell you

The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, 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.

By the EPA's combined rating of 9.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 29 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $50.40 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Practical details

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its length is 5.02 m, so it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Who it is for

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

A longer test drive

Drive the CTS on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the CTS first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the CTS is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

The CTS and Yameri
