CTS 2013

<p>The 2013 Cadillac CTS ranks near the top of its class, thanks to its muscular engine, strong safety ratings, and solid reliability. he Cadillac CTS is available with three engine options. A 3.0-liter V6 (270 horsepower) is standard on CTS sedan and wagon models. A 3.6-liter V6 (318 horsepower) is standard with coupes and is available with sedans and wagons. Both engines come with a six-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is available. The 3.0-liter engine offers decent acceleration and passing power, but it feels much pokier than the larger V6 while offering no fuel economy advantage. Both yield about 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.<br />A 556-horsepower, supercharged 6.2-liter V8  powers the CTS-V (available as a wagon, coupe, or sedan). A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and an automatic is available. Rear-wheel drive comes standard. The V8 rockets the CTS-V up to speed with breakneck pace, though fuel economy sinks to just 12/18 mpg.<br />The steering is responsive and the brakes provide robust stopping power. Even so, the CTS feels less composed around corners than many rivals. Cadillac offers the CTS with a number of suspension options. The standard setup is firm but comfortable on uneven pavement. Stiffer setups are available, including an adaptive suspension for CTS-V models. Each yields sharper handling at the expense of ride comfort.Cadillac offers the 2013 CTS in coupe, sedan, and sport wagon body styles. Features and trim levels will vary between these styles, so it’s best to double-check used models for the equipment that you want.</p>
