| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD | I'm an early adopter of the technology and I realized the additional cost of that role when I bought the car. But it's still an expensive ride & many can't/won't pay this price. |

| 2012 | 4dr Hatch 149-horsepower Electric + Gas CVT FWD |
GM over-developed this car, and it shows. In a way they had to, but that is no complaint from me. Everything is put together well with quality components from the interior to the engine bay. I would only bemoan the "black and decker" battery charging cord |
What Our Members Are Saying about Cadillac CTS Materials and Workmanship

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Top notch, as good as anything on the road. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This one was put together perfect right out of the factory |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Seems to be the best workmanship I have seen out of Cadillac |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
It is very nice, with leather trimmed dash, and soft materials. The chairs have a solid feeling to them. It is a first class appointed interior. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Not plasticky, impression of high-quality. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
quality ,fit and finish are impeccable, the dash ,and the "baseball" stitching ,are top notch, the interior looks hand crafted, no cheap plastic feel in this product. door gaps and alignment are tight, as is the hood and the trunk, this machine works ! |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
quality material |

| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 270-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
eventhough the pleather is very nice, its a caddy and should be standard leather. the passengers seats should have electronic adjustments as a standard and not options. Also the 3.0 should have dual exhaust. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Car was never hit, but trunk was crooked-body shop adjusted but further adjustment would not allow lid to latch. Cheap quality inside and out. Car has weird rocker panels and looks unfinished looking at the side from a distance. |
