How It Got Its Score: The 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon with the 3.6-liter V-6 offers good fuel economy considering the competition, plus a big cargo area, giving it a good Family Friendliness score.
As the upscale version of Cadillac's excellent CTS wagon, the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.6 offers expanded cargo room over the sedan to compete head to head with rivals like the Audi A4 Avant. Since it's a bigger car overall but costs about the same, the Cadillac also scores well against less expensive rivals. The wagon body looks great to our eyes, maybe even better than the sedan, and its 25 cu.-ft. of space can be expanded to 53.4 cu.-ft. with the seats folded down. Fuel economy is pretty good for such a big engine, and although crossovers often offer better utility and more interior room, we think that the 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon 3.6 is hard to resist.
