The CTS is as capable as its German rivals. It has a firm yet supple ride and steers nicely. We found the 3.6-liter V6 that we tested smooth and refined. The interior is nicely furnished and constructed of quality materials with impressive fit and finish. The cabin is quiet and the front seats are comfortable, but the rear seat is snug. A high-performance CTS-V is available and uses a 556-hp, supercharged V8. Wagon and coupe versions are also offered. Reliability of the V6 has been average or better; the V8 is below average.
