Needed an inexpensive daily driver in central FL and had never owned a Cadillac before. 2014 CTS silver base model with 53k mi. Also have a Genesis sedan and they are somewhat similar. Genesis is heavier and seems a quieter, smoother ride. CTS handles better and gets a little better mpg. Cue system takes some getting used to, but OK so far. Bose system sounds very good and I'd probably rate it a little better than the Lexicon in the Genesis. After reading about tranny issues, narrowed my searches to 2014-15 models. Overall like it so far.
