2010 Cadillac CTS 3.0 V-6 Rear-Wheel Drive
What it Is: A four-door, five-passenger luxury sedan.
What's Hot: Beautiful to look at, bigger than similarly priced competitors.
What's Not: Fuel economy could be better.
Family Friendly Options: Bluetooth, navigation, backup camera, USB port
How It Got Its Score: The main advantage of the 2010 Cadillac CTS is size. Since it's bigger than many of its luxury car competition, it has a bigger trunk and more interior room, distinct advantages.
The 2010 Cadillac CTS competes head to head with luxury cars like the Audi A4 and Acura TL. Its biggest advantage is that it's bigger than many of its rivals, especially those from Europe. It's also a rear-drive sedan, which is preferred by many luxury car buyers. New for 2010 is a more fuel efficient base engine that gets 22 mpg on the EPA's combined cycle. While that's good, it's still not quite up to par with some of this Caddy's competition. It's also a little expensive, but only compared to non-luxury makes; it stacks up nicely against other luxury brands. It's also gorgeous inside and out, with one of the nicest interiors we've ever seen. If you have a little extra to spend and want to stay with sedans, it's definitely worth a look.
