2017 Cadillac CTS V-Sport - Redline: Review 

those vertical led DRL's are still fucking sinister-looking when you see him coming at you i love it

From an owner on cadillacforums : 1. 19" wheels are still available. 2. He referred to the engine as being the same as the ATS-V with less boost. 3. Small fuel tank - 17 gal. It's 19. 4. He talked about how the rears always hook up unlike the full V. He should have known that if you turn off TC and or put it in comp mode that it's very easy to light them up. 5. Small back seat. It is if you have the front all the way back otherwise there's plenty of room. 6. he referred to the transmission as a GM-sourced 8-speed. It's an Aisin unit.

I'd still get this over any German rival just because of the price!

The 2014s with low miles are in the 30s. This is a steal at that price.

This car is stunning. I am considering a 2014 version - they are laughably cheap in the used market and an insane value at $35k in the gently used market

I feel like the 3rd gen CTS must be seen and experienced in person. Videos and photos just don't do it justice.

Better to buy a used caddy Than a used bmw The bmws start breaking down and cost a fortune to keep going

Yaaayy I'm so glad to see you hold the camera and do the review.That's what I love the most about this channel.Feels like I'm there in the car.

Always loved your reviews! Please keep this pov style review that you do like this video! Really makes me feel like I'm in the car !

When the radio is set to Channel 51 BPM on XM. Good channel.

Sofyan, the new CUE system is definitely an improvement over the old CUE system. This should "WOW" many people whenever they first step inside.

I drive the 2015 CTS V-sport. The engine power and handling bring a smile to my face every day. It's a lot of power but easily manageable power. From a handling standpoint, the car feels smaller than it is. The interior could use a touch more room, especially behind the front seats. However there is good legroom for the driver which is one of the big reasons I chose this vehicle. I have the old pre-Apple CarPlay CUE and I really wish my car was upgradable to the new system. Heck, I'd pay for that upgrade but that's not possible. GM still isn't quite playing in the Tesla sandbox for upgradeable systems yet. Finally, I'm seeing about 19.1 MPG average over time.....not bad for a car with this much power and no hybrid drive train.

I SIMPLY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAR!

Cadillac really had a great lineup at this time. I have a 2014 XTS Vsport Platinum which has this engine. It is such a special car. Incredible design. Twin turbo pulls so hard and so smoothly. Go Caddy!

We can see that Cadillac has put a lot of effort into this car, but it's still no PT Cruiser

Sofyan, Love your reviews. Keep up the excellent work!👍🏼👍🏼

Even though i like the brown interior, this black interior looks pretty damn good.

I Still Love this Car! Thanks for this Review Sofyan!!!

Sir, you by far give one of the most efficient and thorough reviews that I have ever seen, and the 2017 CTS still needs some fine tuning, and the back seats are cramped; I've checked out other Caddys. I own a '89 Sedan Deville and based on your comparison; I get better gas mileage than your 2017 CTS you just reviewed. I wish I had the Instagram you were talking about, whatever that is; I'm not a young man. I was so impressed how cover the vehicle. Take Care!

one of the reasons why you're my favorite car reviewer is because not only do you review EVERYTHING but I actually grew up in the falls church area and I used to live a couple minutes from the Eden center and both my parents work at the Kastle building you drove by in the video and I think it's so cool that you're based in the area

This became my favorite car in 2014. I love it more every year. I plan on getting one soon.

Too small wheels? I'd rather have optimized 18" over a fashion statement

finally a CTS that won't be seen with a stupid-ass vinyl roof

GSF is still my dream car. It's underpowered but so damn beautiful. It looks like a sleeper even with the quad exhausts. Plus reliability is its number one selling point, for me at least.

I will buy 7 of these, one in each different color for each day of the week.

Awesome review wow covered everything ! Left no room for questions

I can honestly say we all smile when you put pedal to the metal 😁

Beautiful, as a Caddy owner I look the other way when I see those overpriced germans 👎🏿 Lexus, Acura, Infiniti are the only foreign car automakers that get my money

Well, thanks to this video and several others covering this car, i just picked up a 2016 Vsport. Your face at 17:25 was the kind of permagrin that most reviewers had driving this car. I still can't believe they only made 4404 of them in total, but glad they are under the radar, makes them cheaper now😊

Fantastic job reviewing the car.

Beautiful design beautiful car in and out.... I love love love it.

You're driving through my home town, love that road right next to IHOP and 7 Eleven

The Alpha chassis has done WONDERS for this brand

This car is beautiful

Excellent review!

i guess we're done with civic reviews.

I hate most things GM coughs up but i love your channel and commentary

Great review, super thorough. I've thought about replacing my aging 2010 CTS-V with one of these. I know sacrilege. Having said that, would like to get our host's opinion

I love how he just mashes the throttle whenever he stops at a light or stop sign lol.

Music was on point in the intro for this car

slick and Beautiful, reminds of a Mercedes C class. Cadillac stepped up their game big time.

Will be interesting to see Cadillac's new styling direction on the updated CT6 that was shown on the recent concept.

Great car, not many used on the market

great review!

The CTS Vsport is made for more of an aggressive drive with class leading handling and technology. If you want a luxury focused option, then the CT6 would be your way to go.

Finally a reviewer that demonstrates the washer on the camera mirrors on cts/ct6! Thanks for the review. Why do u seldom get Lincolns to review? I'd like to see continental

great review

beautiful

Hey Sofyan, I'd love to see some more exotic cars, or sports car being reviewed. Would love your insight on them!

11:40 OMG 🤭 that's cool a little electric moving door for your cup holders wow. And and don't forget the microwave box.

Unless the driver is 6'2'' there's plenty of room in the back it's a sport sedan not a limo.

"Like it's competitors" You love that phrase.

are you going to review the genesis g80 sport? I feel like it's a good competitor to the Cadillac cts

Gotta get me one of these hidden gems! Love the layout & the overall design of this understatement of sportiness & sophistication wrapped up into one! Cadillac keeps shooting themselves in the foot by not supporting & enhancing a winning formula! Very inconsistent unfortunately! This vehicle should be alive & a staple in their lineup period! What's really going on Cadillac??

I don't even think the Alfa Giulia got so many ha ha hos from you. Seems like the Camry V6 might have though, unless I am getting your reviews mixed up. Lol. As usual, great job.

I've seen a couple of these and ATS Vs on the road and they seem to have issues staying in their lane. Not in the BMW no-blinker sense... just in the "can't drive on mountain passes" sense. I don't know if it's a GM AWD problem or just a Driver mod problem.

Needs a refresh hell no it's still got the design could for another 4 more years!!!

"face forcing thrust" - Sofyan 2017 ;)

Sofyan, please review the 2018 XTS Vsport.

The exhaust tips don't look that good. Stick to the quad exhaust, more stunning, sporty, and luxury.

if u had a choice between Platinum XTS and the CTS V-Sport which one would u choose?

I think the CTS looks better than the larger CT6. That long hood snout gives it presence.

what happened to that Cadillac that you reviewed that had those cool yellow seats with that solid black interior ? That thing was SUPER BOSS.

That birdman adlib in the intro music

Are you guys going to post the Kia Niro review?

Seems like a pretty neat vehicle! I have really been enjoying Cadillac's new design language. The rims are a little on the small side, though. Overall, styling is definitely a strong suit. Keep it up, Sofyan! 👌🏽

kinda weird that the CTS was always considered a mid-size sedan, but had the interior space of the smaller sport sedan like the A4, 3er, and C-class. GM and Ford are seriously making some great power-train

This is my personal favorite Cadillac on the market! Despite its flaws, the CTS is still the only Cadillac worth its price! Escalades have the right look, but are nothing more than leather-lined Tahoes/Suburbans! And the XTS, while nice, is simply a nicer LaCrosse! The XT5 is mediocre at best, and the CT6, while handsome, is simply not enough to effectively compete with the true German flagship sedans!

18'" wheels are not too small. This reviewer is knowledgeable and thorough. However I'm not here to hear only about what he likes.

The LF3 sounds kinda grumbly in the video - is there fake engine noise piped into the cabin?

"It still sounds nice and solid." Keep in mind an aging platform doesn't mean the car itself has deteriorated. Haha.

This is the perfect high schooler car.

He's so cute!!

Well now that the Cadillac is done when is the E43 coming???? I promise you'll be impressed. The sport of the CTSV sport with unmatched refinement and lux.

Great reviews man but you honestly lost me at 16:12 when you said that the CTS-V had “a little too much power” 😢

starting to see CT6 and XT5 features migrate to other models in Cadillac's lineup.

I like this-car

Wow🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍

It has aged well over the years.

I've never really liked Cadillacs before, but I like this one, although it looks good, right until those rear lights, which look out of place. Meh, Audi's are for accountants, this looks good and sounds good, I'd prefer this, never said that about a Cadillac before lol

Saw Russell Westbrook in one of these in this exact color in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago.

What track is played in the beginning?

Is the maintenance a hidden gem as well?

What about the sound system wattage and speakers

I like the car but I don't like the CTS in white. To me the car looks more alive in black or red. White does not show off the beautiful character lines, or show off the unique way the headlights blend back into the body

Can you review the new Lincoln Continental? Pls...

Chevy killing the game.

yes, that's it. i couldn't figure it out. it needs AT LEAST 19's to look right. performance notwithstanding, the 18's look slightly too small for the overall length.

belo carro!

Never knew much about GM & their turbo engines & their reliability history so I'm a little concerned about maintenance issues overall . Any input guys????

Is there a possibility for a Hyundai Ioniq review? Thanks

12:50 I like touch better but in cold weather you could be right if sensitive but if y'all like y'all knobs all right hopefully they'll bring them back🤫 But I'm just happy for what I can afford though really 😫🙌

i bet June is your favorite month

northern virginia i live here too

I have a 16 CTS 3.6 n/a. Took this v sport for test drive last week. Yeah f my non turbo I hate it now.

4:20 arrest me officer I got 👉pushed👈 2 🌟

They should've named it CTS-Sport not CTS V-Sport. Nice looking car though.

Is there a 6MT version?

This or Genesis G80 Sport?

3:13 nah Sam if you get bigger rims you get less rubber grip bra have you ever played me for speed underground popos don't play around bro
