My new to me 1/1 car.........

[Dave Van]

Only my 2nd GM auto ever!!! I have loved the looks of these Caddys since they cam out......but way to much $$$$ new. My son gave me a heads up on this one. A buddy of his works for a dealership and this was traded in. I went and looked at it.....took her home. 2013 Caddy CTS4 Performance AWD. 90K miles really well taken care of. Still learning all the ins and outs....AWD is a bit different. Thanks

Sharp Ride, Dave.

Congratulations on the new Car!

Beautiful car, though I'm not a fan of all the complication.

Anyway, a fella I work with bought one like it, one owner creampuff, a client of ours for many years who was downsizing his fleet, super price.

Was rear-end-totalled just a few weeks later by a texter, made decent money on the deal after the insurance payout.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it, 'cause they ARE really nice.

I love Cadillacs. I worked with a guy who had the same car in black, his was garage kept and looked like new all the time. My next car will likely be a Caddy.

Like the "sharp edge" styling. How is the rearward visibility?

Not fantastic but it has sensors al around from side mirrors to the back...so it alerts you to anything around you. Thx

One suggestion for anyone with the newer cars that have these features. Whenever I'm overtaking someone in the next lane, I always look at their sideview mirror to see where the driver is looking, and you will notice a light flash in their mirror that alerts them that I'm in their "blind spot" and overtaking them. I have found it is very important to see what or where the other drivers are looking and get around them as quickly and safely as I can. Hard to comprehend how few drivers look in their rear and sideview mirrors. Situation awareness is really important when you are only a couple of feet away often going more than 70 mph.

Sharp car..I always liked the CTS coupe... my '19 CT6 I bought last month is similarly loaded with goodies.. 360 degree cameras, adaptive cruise control, sensors all around, self-parking (haven't tried that), panoramic sunroof, automatic headlights, wipers, and HVAC...AWD w/ a 3.6 V6, 10 spd auto and 44k miles.   New enough to have Apple Car Play, wireless phone charging,  etc.

Taking it on a weeklong road trip later this month down to the NC and SC coasts and back..

I like the sedans too. My favorite road car was a 1999 Concorde. A GREAT hiway car. 

I just could not pass up the looks of the coupe!

Wait...WHAT???  I thought all those mirrors were to check your toupee or makeup.

You mean you're s'posed to use 'em while you drive????
