Car leasing: silver 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard in Yameri

Thinking of buying the 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard?

No 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2016 Cadillac CTS Standard for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

What to check on the CTS

Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

What the specs mean

The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. 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.

Fuel use is rated 9.6 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $16.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who the CTS suits

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

What the CTS is like

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The body is 5.02 m long and 1.83 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the CTS on your commute, then decide. Rent the CTS for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Choosing the right one

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. Compare the Standard with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

Money matters

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