For a surprisingly small sum, the laboratories at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering will amplify the 6. Included in the reconstructive surgery are a port and polish and new valves, springs, and retainers. We want to be the guy putting 12, miles a year on his hp Caddy. Imagine the sound of a demon with a pair of V-8s for lungs sucking your eardrums through one of those large-volume straws you get at Burger King. Easy, right? At idle, you can practically hear individual combustion events, and the rollicking blub - blubblub-blub-blub will already have the faint of heart reconsidering their decision to strap in.
But no worthy pilot drives a hp car for its idle. With the stock six-speed manual slotted into first gear, throttle inputs of more than 70 or so percent get earmarked for tire smoke, but once this raging machine gets traction, it reels in the horizon like few other cars on the road. The test results might be a bit misleading. But the 7-mph increase in trap speed is telling. So after being crushed, wide-eyed, into the seat for a mind-altering pull through each gear, you have to ignore the shift light for a prolonged period.
Compulsive feints toward the shifter at first blink are forgivable. Just like every CTS, the V-Series includes a hand-stitched instrument panel, door trim and center console. Leading-edge infotainment features extend to the V-Series.
They include a gigabyte hard drive, advanced navigation system with a deployable screen and Bose digital surround audio, as well as factory-installed Bluetooth phone integration, all standard features on the V-Series. It looks so dead on that! Anyway, I love the massive appearance of it although it is only a sedan, but when will be the production of it?
It really looks like a warrior vehicle on that platform! I also have to agree that it looks better if they use a sleek body paint on it. I just only hope that it has as well an impressive interior. I think it looks more decent and lovely with a sleek black or pearl white body paint. It looks so massive on its front, and I think they should use a classier body paint on this coupe than on what it had now. Anyway, just like them, I am hoping that it can offer also an impressive interior.
I must say that I would still prefer to have an Audi car than to this one. Sorry, to say but this coupe of Cadillac is not really so impressive most especially it is only on a matte color. I know how popular Cadillac manufacturer when making a luxury cars.
For me they have the concept and idea that holds our breath seeing kinds of model cars build on a creative styles. Performing evenly wise and competitive.
I already see this Coupe, it has a Voice and text guidance shock resistance fof the rocky road, that would be a very stunning in every way.
This concept is quite a successful production from the Cadillac. The figure performance of the car is impressive. I really want to test drive this car. Finally, the Cadillac have announced the debut of this vehicle. The figure performance of the car is quite remarkable. Its specs definitely makes it more an aggressive and impressive production.
How often do you get to spend 40, miles with a do-anything, haul-everything, mph, scare-everyone wagon? We would love to check up on our baby. Since we last checked in with our long-term Cadillac CTS-V wagon , the car has finally overcome its case of electronic window-itis.
A recap: The right rear window kept rolling itself down, most notably doing so once during a carwash. They replaced the whole harness, and cavities that could collect water were packed full of dielectric grease to prevent the ailment from returning. One cold morning, a staffer entered the car and noticed the clutch pedal lying on the floor, not in the normal up position.
A simple lift of the pedal returned it to the proper place, after which it worked normally. The spring that handles the duty of keeping the pedal up was out of place and continued to occasionally snag it, trapping the pedal on the floor.
Like the window problem, this repair was covered under warranty; also like the window problem, it has happened more than once. A softball-sized dent appeared in the right-rear corner of the V, and out of ignorance or embarrassment, nobody claimed responsibility for it. One staff member theorized that a low-pressure pocket had developed beneath the fender, causing the sheetmetal to cave in like the old collapsing-can junior-high science trick, but his theory had few supporters.
A second front wheel became bent, the likely victim of a Michigan pothole, so we again relied on the services of Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists of Michigan www.
They come to you and repair damaged wheels on the spot, even repairing curb rash and handling painting. Right after the wheel was repaired, one of our road warriors noticed the rear tires were on the wear bars, despite having fewer than 20, miles on them winter tires did duty in the snowy months.
Other than the hefty cost of ownership—primarily due to tires and unfortunate incidents—and a few gremlins that might point an owner to a BMW dealer for his or her next purchase, we have few complaints regarding the V. Many of us have noted how clumsy entry can be: When you pull a door handle, there is a clear pause before the door unlocks and opens. For first-timers, an impatient ingress can mean two tugs of the door. We later performed the same trick with the key to our long-term Jeep Grand Cherokee ; the Jeep key proved less robust and needed to be replaced.
That the car only is returning 15 mpg is a huge problem for some. The optional Recaro seats are firm, but four-way lumbar and adjustable bolsters mean even Inspector Clouseau could find a suitable position.
Constant cruising means no annoyance at the chairs rocking in their mounts under braking and acceleration. The answer lies in how rewarding and easy the CTS- V is to drive, even in everyday situations. Grab a jug of milk? Picking up the mother-in-law?
Glad to. Alterman left his phone at home? Let us go get that for him. At miles, we took the wagon to the dealer for its first service, which involved an oil change and a minor inspection. There is no maintenance schedule per se, because the car calculates when the oil needs to be changed based on factors such as the number of cold starts, engine speed, and time since the last service.
The service itself cost us nothing—routine maintenance is covered for the first four years or 50, miles—but it was then we learned that at least one vengeful pothole had deformed the right front wheel. A short time later, we availed ourselves of a mobile wheel-repair shop, Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, to see what it could do for the bent rim. There has been one issue. Just past the 10,mile mark, after a carwash, the right rear window decided it liked being rolled down and that it would handle the task itself.
Of course, this was on one of the long trips—to San Antonio, Texas, no less, during which technical editor Michael Austin was on a mission to find the basement of the Alamo. A Cadillac dealership got the window rolled up and disconnected the wiring to the switch; Austin returned to Michigan sans breeze. Once back home, our local dealer diagnosed the problem as some pinched wiring going to the window regulator.
