Hi, guys. Let me start out by saying I am a GM guy forever (I'm 65) and I love the CTS-V in all shapes and colors. I'm talking about the 2009+ with the blower motor. The style is exciting and the factory installed power is unbelievable. How and why Cadillac brought this car to market still boggles my mind. I do not own a V yet, my current ride is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT.
I will try to express my concerns as well as I can. We are a two car semi retired family, the kids have been out of the house long ago. My wife drives the "family car" that we use as such, my car is mostly for me to go to work and enjoy driving my "Hot Rod" daily. I have come close to buying the Cadillac a couple of times, but I'm a little concerned about the reliability. My Pontiac, and the Impala SS before have been stone reliable. The V-cars I've seriously looked at seem to show a lot of returns to the dealer for various issues, some of them substantial.
I understand no car is perfect, and maybe I've been looking at bad examples, but it seems that Cadillac had some teething problems with the cars. So let me finally get to my question. Has Cadillac resolved any of the reliability issues with the later model cars? I've been looking at earlier models for budgetary reasons, are the 2013s and maybe the 2014s better than the earlier ones? I apologize now for the lengthy post. I would love to own a CTS-V Sedan (back seat for my Shepherd), should I look at the newer models?
