cadillac cts sport wagon for leasects sport wagon A CTS Sport Wagon is not really sports The second-generation CTS, available since 2008, a car is awfully interesting for lovers of luxury sedan with a sporty temperament. Since this year there is even the possibility of opting for the ultra-powerful CTS-V offers more than 550 horses. By cons, this article does not address this fireball but another novelty is the arrival of the new Sport Wagon. As the name suggests, this is a family version of the CTS comes compete with Audi A4, BMW 3 Series Wagon (and maybe 5 Series Wagon) and Volvo V70. The item I question is the use of the term "sport" because the newcomer has some qualities but none are really connected to a sporty character.
Indeed, it is rather strange to associate a brand with such a versatile vehicle with a family. The high-end American vehicles have rarely played in this market, unlike the Europeans who have long been the cars "wagon" very interesting. Competition is fierce in this rather small niche of our market. Visually, I find the CTS does not have to blush before anyone else, the result is smooth and catchy. The practicality of a family car is immediately observable when opening the tailgate because the threshold is not too high and it is easy to insert various objects in or out. The amount offered is not the best on the market but still very adequate. When taking place in the front, it indicates that the environment offered immediately releases the luxury. The design of the dashboard, the location of controls, colors, lighting and all the materials are assembled to each other so to provide a successful and attractive interior with respect. For rear passengers, although the volume is average, the release could be just enough for tall people. Two engines are offered Both engines are the 3.0 V6 270 hp (and only 223 lb-ft of torque) and the 3.6-liter with 304 hp and 273 lb-ft. Both have direct fuel injection and are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Although the additional price for version 3.6 is $ 6000, it is considered as the low torque of 3.0 liters just to the task and provides a significant fuel economy compared to its big brother. Once this decision, there is also a choice between front-wheel drive version or the one with AWD. As for our test vehicle, this is version 3.6 with the power to all four wheels. Although all-wheel drive adds an element of security in the winter, we must also know that the extra weight and the addition of moving parts directly affect fuel consumption. The CTS Sport Wagon 3.6 of this trial showed a total weight of over 1900 kg, affecting many aspects of driving. First, the average consumption easily exceeds the 15 liters per 100 km, without going mad. And as for the handling, that overweight is felt during cornering, acceleration and braking. In addition, I really feel that suspensions of Wagon version of the adjustments are more bourgeois as the car displays a roll higher than the sedan version is, in turn, a car fun to drive. When pushed lower in a curve, a significant understeer and the steering wheel appears large uncommunicative does not help correct the course. |
