With the 2007 Cadillac CTS-V, Cadillac enters into the world market for real, though it has been there for years without having enough stamina to be truly noticed. Now it proves itself to be a company to be reckoned with and a car maker that can leap boundaries and achieve an actual accomplishment. The quick and nimble CTS-V may not be perfect, and its true that in a few segments it is rusty, but for the most part it is particularly well done and ready to take on the buying public.
On the Cadillac CTS-V’s good side you have a car that performs with power, leaving other cars in its class being. It handles well and competently and is intelligent enough to catch details. In the front, there is lots of room and the back as well. Compared to other cars in its class, this vehicle isn’t as pricey as you think, either. Still, if you take off not too gently the wheel will jump a bit. It’s also true that interior cannot do anything to measure up to the exterior, being a little sloppily designed using second hand materials.
In the 2007 model year, Cadillac adds the following to the CTS-V
- satellite radio (which you can get if you get the navigation system as well)
- traffic updates
- run flat tires with a Goodyear extended warranty (these are great for driving in difficult weather conditions)
- powertrain warranty has been lengthened to a five year or one hundred thousand mile warranty
On the safety side, the Cadillac CTS-V comes newly standard with an anti lock brake system equipped with Brembo brakes and four piston calipers. Also standard come the full length side curtain air bags as well as air bags on the side in the front seat and Cadillac’s StabiliTrak, also known as an electronic stability control system. According to cras test results, the Cadillac CTS-V fares well on both frontal and side impacts and it received the award of ‘best pick’.
