2017 Cadillac CTS V-Sport - Redline: Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2017
- While sedans may no longer be the preferred choice, Cadillac reminds us just how much fun a luxury sport sedan can be. Despite not having the supercharged V8 monster from its big brother CTS-V, the 2017 CTS V-Sport packs a twin-turbo V6, Recaro seats, rear drive only, and one of the BEST handling chassis that money can buy. Don't call this your grandpa's Caddy, this sport sedan has the dial set far more toward sport versus luxury.

those vertical led DRL's are still fucking sinister-looking when you see him coming at you i love it
I have a 2.0T AWD I want a V, but a V-Sport will do.
From an owner on cadillacforums :
1. 19" wheels are still available.
2. He referred to the engine as being the same as the ATS-V with less boost.
3. Small fuel tank - 17 gal. It's 19.
4. He talked about how the rears always hook up unlike the full V. He should have known that if you turn off TC and or put it in comp mode that it's very easy to light them up.
5. Small back seat. It is if you have the front all the way back otherwise there's plenty of room.
6. he referred to the transmission as a GM-sourced 8-speed. It's an Aisin unit.
The back seats are smaller than a Fusion or an Optima. It's a fair point, but I don't care, I only notice if I'm putting groceries on the floor back there.
@@aluisious that's all I use the back seat for anyway and its my dogs seat technically
@@aluisious Those are FWD based which inherently makes for more rear legroom. Compared other RWD like the 5 series, E class, XF, the CTS is right in line.
I'd still get this over any German rival just because of the price!
The 2014s with low miles are in the 30s. This is a steal at that price.
Cromerzome recently bought one for 34.5k CPO.... Amazing car !! 22k miles In case you were wondering
@@joseuribe1249 hows your vsport
Jose Uribe has it been reliable??
I feel like the 3rd gen CTS must be seen and experienced in person. Videos and photos just don't do it justice.
Connor James That sir is very very very true. I'm a owner of 2 Cadillac's and their by far my favorite cars I've owned. They're very smooth and fun to drive
This car is stunning. I am considering a 2014 version - they are laughably cheap in the used market and an insane value at $35k in the gently used market
The last thing you wanna do is finance a Cadillac, let alone a used Cadillac lol. If you like throwing your money in the trash, by all means xD
None of them are GENTLY used! :D
Wouldn’t recommend 2014 get 2016 or up
We can see that Cadillac has put a lot of effort into this car, but it's still no PT Cruiser
FamousWithoutBrad hell yea, PT cruiser shits on this car
Damn close though. They are pushing toward perfection every year.
FamousWithoutBrad Can you afford it?
Zachary Barker My friend, You must be fun at parties my friend. It's a joke my friend, it's not that serious my friend. Love you, miss you already my friend ❤️
Nothing will be. HHR is a poor man's PT Cruiser. How else are you suppose to pickup chicks? You pull up with a Cruiser and the girls will know your fiscally responsible but you still know how to party.
Better to buy a used caddy
Than a used bmw
The bmws start breaking down and cost a fortune to keep going
When the radio is set to Channel 51 BPM on XM. Good channel.
Sofyan, the new CUE system is definitely an improvement over the old CUE system. This should "WOW" many people whenever they first step inside.
Cadillac really had a great lineup at this time. I have a 2014 XTS Vsport Platinum which has this engine. It is such a special car. Incredible design. Twin turbo pulls so hard and so smoothly. Go Caddy!
Too small wheels? I'd rather have optimized 18" over a fashion statement

For real 20's ride like shit.
@@Sam-vs5kg mine has 20s and yeah kinda rides like shit a bit lol but it LOOKS SO GOOD THO
I SIMPLY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR!
I drive the 2015 CTS V-sport. The engine power and handling bring a smile to my face every day. It's a lot of power but easily manageable power. From a handling standpoint, the car feels smaller than it is. The interior could use a touch more room, especially behind the front seats. However there is good legroom for the driver which is one of the big reasons I chose this vehicle. I have the old pre-Apple CarPlay CUE and I really wish my car was upgradable to the new system. Heck, I'd pay for that upgrade but that's not possible. GM still isn't quite playing in the Tesla sandbox for upgradeable systems yet. Finally, I'm seeing about 19.1 MPG average over time.....not bad for a car with this much power and no hybrid drive train.
Sevenfeet0 I know it’s over a year but
cue is upgradable to the new one with Apple CarPlay not from the dealer but online it costs just over $1,000
lol yeah what he said about 27mpg I laughed haha I barely get 19 in mine too. The right foot determines the mpg.
Always loved your reviews! Please keep this pov style review that you do like this video! Really makes me feel like I'm in the car !
Yaaayy I'm so glad to see you hold the camera and do the review.That's what I love the most about this channel.Feels like I'm there in the car.
Even though i like the brown interior, this black interior looks pretty damn good.
This became my favorite car in 2014. I love it more every year. I plan on getting one soon.
I can honestly say we all smile when you put pedal to the metal 😁
GSF is still my dream car. It's underpowered but so damn beautiful. It looks like a sleeper even with the quad exhausts. Plus reliability is its number one selling point, for me at least.
Same here
I will buy 7 of these, one in each different color for each day of the week.
Fried Chicken Now only if you actually could.
LOL
finally a CTS that won't be seen with a stupid-ass vinyl roof
Sofyan,
Love your reviews. Keep up the excellent work!👍🏼👍🏼
Well, thanks to this video and several others covering this car, i just picked up a 2016 Vsport. Your face at 17:25 was the kind of permagrin that most reviewers had driving this car. I still can't believe they only made 4404 of them in total, but glad they are under the radar, makes them cheaper now😊
i guess we're done with civic reviews.
i hope so.
heyheyhe0011 COMING UP NEXT: HONDS CIVIC
Navysealsnake dude, we're talking 75.0000 dollar Cadillacs here! not economy cars! your way out of your league here lol.
Back to Kia/Hyundai soon!
heyheyhe0011 I love civics too baby.
This car is beautiful
I love how he just mashes the throttle whenever he stops at a light or stop sign lol.
Awesome review wow covered everything ! Left no room for questions
one of the reasons why you're my favorite car reviewer is because not only do you review EVERYTHING but I actually grew up in the falls church area and I used to live a couple minutes from the Eden center and both my parents work at the Kastle building you drove by in the video and I think it's so cool that you're based in the area
Sir, you by far give one of the most efficient and thorough reviews that I have ever seen, and the 2017 CTS still needs some fine tuning, and the back seats are cramped; I've checked out other Caddys. I own a '89 Sedan Deville and based on your comparison; I get better gas mileage than your 2017 CTS you just reviewed. I wish I had the Instagram you were talking about, whatever that is; I'm not a young man. I was so impressed how cover the vehicle. Take Care!
The Alpha chassis has done WONDERS for this brand
Beautiful design beautiful car in and out.... I love love love it.
Music was on point in the intro for this car
I Still Love this Car! Thanks for this Review Sofyan!!!
You're driving through my home town, love that road right next to IHOP and 7 Eleven
Fantastic job reviewing the car.
Excellent review!
The CTS Vsport is made for more of an aggressive drive with class leading handling and technology. If you want a luxury focused option, then the CT6 would be your way to go.
Will be interesting to see Cadillac's new styling direction on the updated CT6 that was shown on the recent concept.
"Like it's competitors" You love that phrase.
great review!
Great car, not many used on the market
beautiful
11:40 OMG 🤭 that's cool a little electric moving door for your cup holders wow. And and don't forget the microwave box.
great review
Beautiful, as a Caddy owner I look the other way when I see those overpriced germans 👎🏿 Lexus, Acura, Infiniti are the only foreign car automakers that get my money
Great review, super thorough. I've thought about replacing my aging 2010 CTS-V with one of these. I know sacrilege. Having said that, would like to get our host's opinion
You simply can't beat the supercharged V8 in the CTS-V. This newer generation V-Sport has a nicer interior and handles better, it may also prove to be easier to drive on a daily basis as well since it doesn't have so much power overwhelming the rear tires. You may however, miss the pull of the V8 in your old model.
Unless the driver is 6'2'' there's plenty of room in the back it's a sport sedan not a limo.
slick and Beautiful, reminds of a Mercedes C class. Cadillac stepped up their game big time.
I hate most things GM coughs up but i love your channel and commentary
Hey Sofyan, I'd love to see some more exotic cars, or sports car being reviewed. Would love your insight on them!
Finally a reviewer that demonstrates the washer on the camera mirrors on cts/ct6! Thanks for the review.
Why do u seldom get Lincolns to review? I'd like to see continental
rod22lt We would love to review the new Continental. However, Lincoln and Ford have been difficult to get a hold of in our local area for acquiring press cars. We're still working on it though!
The exhaust tips don't look that good. Stick to the quad exhaust, more stunning, sporty, and luxury.
I would definitely ask about that when getting one.
Chris Gnay doesn't fit this trim, itll make it too rice
Faiz Wiralaga true I was like ew
Chris Gnay cuz their fake tips
Supercharged V has those
"face forcing thrust" - Sofyan 2017 ;)
That birdman adlib in the intro music
kinda weird that the CTS was always considered a mid-size sedan, but had the interior space of the smaller sport sedan like the A4, 3er, and C-class. GM and Ford are seriously making some great power-train
Gotta get me one of these hidden gems! Love the layout & the overall design of this understatement of sportiness & sophistication wrapped up into one! Cadillac keeps shooting themselves in the foot by not supporting & enhancing a winning formula! Very inconsistent unfortunately! This vehicle should be alive & a staple in their lineup period! What's really going on Cadillac??
are you going to review the genesis g80 sport? I feel like it's a good competitor to the Cadillac cts
Sofyan, please review the 2018 XTS Vsport.
I've seen a couple of these and ATS Vs on the road and they seem to have issues staying in their lane.
Not in the BMW no-blinker sense... just in the "can't drive on mountain passes" sense. I don't know if it's a GM AWD problem or just a Driver mod problem.
Well now that the Cadillac is done when is the E43 coming???? I promise you'll be impressed. The sport of the CTSV sport with unmatched refinement and lux.
I think the CTS looks better than the larger CT6. That long hood snout gives it presence.
what happened to that Cadillac that you reviewed that had those cool yellow seats with that solid black interior ? That thing was SUPER BOSS.
Needs a refresh hell no it's still got the design could for another 4 more years!!!
I've always loved the 2014 sedan design. blew me away when i first saw it in person. it was truly breath taking.
Bobby Kuntz the back is kinda ugly, though.
Bobby Kuntz I have no idea what the fuck you just said, lmao please punctuate.
"It still sounds nice and solid." Keep in mind an aging platform doesn't mean the car itself has deteriorated. Haha.
It has aged well over the years.
starting to see CT6 and XT5 features migrate to other models in Cadillac's lineup.
He's so cute!!
if u had a choice between Platinum XTS and the CTS V-Sport which one would u choose?
The LF3 sounds kinda grumbly in the video - is there fake engine noise piped into the cabin?
18'" wheels are not too small. This reviewer is knowledgeable and thorough. However I'm not here to hear only about what he likes.
This is the perfect high schooler car.
Is the maintenance a hidden gem as well?
Are you guys going to post the Kia Niro review?
What track is played in the beginning?
Great reviews man but you honestly lost me at 16:12 when you said that the CTS-V had “a little too much power” 😢
Seems like a pretty neat vehicle! I have really been enjoying Cadillac's new design language. The rims are a little on the small side, though. Overall, styling is definitely a strong suit. Keep it up, Sofyan! 👌🏽
DriveAndBeDriven just like the other cars in this segment you can opt up to a larger diameter rim size.
altoni keeton, I was looking on their website and I saw a slew of 19-inch options. The ones on Sofyan's tester, are one of the only 18-inch wheel setups, for the V-Sport. Thanks for letting me know! 👍🏽
The 18" wheels are forged, the 19" are cast.
They are probably smaller for a reason
I like the car but I don't like the CTS in white. To me the car looks more alive in black or red. White does not show off the beautiful character lines, or show off the unique way the headlights blend back into the body
Saw Russell Westbrook in one of these in this exact color in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago.
I like this-car
What about the sound system wattage and speakers
I don't even think the Alfa Giulia got so many ha ha hos from you. Seems like the Camry V6 might have though, unless I am getting your reviews mixed up. Lol. As usual, great job.
Wow🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
This is my personal favorite Cadillac on the market! Despite its flaws, the CTS is still the only Cadillac worth its price! Escalades have the right look, but are nothing more than leather-lined Tahoes/Suburbans! And the XTS, while nice, is simply a nicer LaCrosse! The XT5 is mediocre at best, and the CT6, while handsome, is simply not enough to effectively compete with the true German flagship sedans!
Can you review the new Lincoln Continental? Pls...
yes, that's it. i couldn't figure it out. it needs AT LEAST 19's to look right. performance notwithstanding, the 18's look slightly too small for the overall length.
i bet June is your favorite month
Is there a possibility for a Hyundai Ioniq review?
Thanks
Paulina O. Yup! It's already been filmed. It'll go live later this month!
Never knew much about GM & their turbo engines & their reliability history so I'm a little concerned about maintenance issues overall . Any input guys????
I have a 2.0T for about 3 years. Nothing wrong so far. I always do full synthetic oil changes.
belo carro!
Chevy killing the game.
I've never really liked Cadillacs before, but I like this one, although it looks good, right until those rear lights, which look out of place. Meh, Audi's are for accountants, this looks good and sounds good, I'd prefer this, never said that about a Cadillac before lol
did Mercedes just release the new v8 e class amg car though
northern virginia i live here too
Where are the redline top 5 vids? Normally I wouldn't mind you not uploading it but you keep referencing them in your reviews.
This or Genesis G80 Sport?
That plastic airbag looks crappy for a premium. Also just noticed the boost gauge in 2017 goes negative...my 2016 stops at 0.
12:50 I like touch better but in cold weather you could be right if sensitive but if y'all like y'all knobs all right hopefully they'll bring them back🤫
But I'm just happy for what I can afford though really 😫🙌
Is there a 6MT version?
Shell Casing no the only transmission is a 8 speed automatic
plz do the Porsche macan or the Chevy ss sedan
