How It Got Its Score: The all-wheel drive 2010 Cadillac CTS is bigger than many rivals, offering more interior room and a bigger trunk.
The 2010 Cadillac CTS is a beautiful luxury car, and a worthy alternative to competitors like the Audi A4 and Acura TL. It's bigger than many rivals, especially those from Europe, and its all-wheel drive doesn't hurt fuel economy as much as some other brands. Since it's bigger it offers more trunk space and a bigger back seat. The new base engine gets 21 mpg on the EPA's combined cycle, which is only a little less than the rear-wheel drive model, but still lags some competitors a little. Naturally, the Cadillac CTS is a little expensive, but only compared to non-luxury makes, as it stacks up well against luxury brands. Not to be redundant, but one of the biggest selling points is the styling, which inside and out, is among the most beautiful on the road. If you want an eye-catching luxury sedan, and need the all-weather capability of all-wheel drive, the 2010 Cadillac CTS should be on your list.
