2011 Cadillac CTS, IIHS "Top Safety Pick"!

Located near Chevrolet Dealer New Orleans, was the new 2011 Cadillac CTS. It was ranked 6 out of 18 for Upscale Midsized Cars, per US News. Like most cars found at Phoenix VW Dealers, the Cadillac CTS offers a four year/50,000 mile basic warranty. Powertrain coverage is also provided for five years/100,000 miles as well as roadside assistance . Cadillac also offers a Premium Care Maintenance which covers scheduled oil changes, tire rotations, replacement of engine and cabin air filters. They also offer a multi-point vehicle inspection after four years or 50,000 miles.

Even though the 2011 version has not been fully tested, the 2010 model, which can be found at Port Charlotte Used Dealer, received four stars for frontal impact crashes. They also received a top score of five stars for side impact crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it one of their "Top Safety Pick".

The Cadillac CTS is equipped with front seat side airbags as well as full length side curtain airbags. The vehicle also comes with GM's Stabilitrak System which combines Electronic Stability Control and traction control. Cadillac's also come with OnStar services.

The 2011 Cadillac CTS should be able to hold it's own against other sport sedans, at least better than the older models. The 2011 model will give you two options on engines. The vehicle will come standard with a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 270 horsepower and 223 pound-feet torque. The other option would be a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 304 horsepower and 273 pound-feet torque. Both engines are available and paired with a six speed manual transmission or a six speed automatic with manual shift mode. It has been estimated that the Cadillac CTS should get 16 to 18 miles per gallon in the city and 25 to 27 miles per gallon on the highway.

There are many pros versus cons when considering this vehicle. Some of the pros that I found was the sharp handling, ample power distinctive exterior, stylish cabin that is loaded with useful technologies. The cons that were listed are minimal and could be overlooked. They complain that the standard front seat could use more support but they do offer other front seat options as long as you are willing to pay a couple thousand more. The car is a bit expensive, but the perks make up for the cost.
