The Cadillac CTS-V returns largely unchanged for 2010. While the 2010 Cadillac CTS-V bears little physical resemblance to Detroit's original muscle cars, the parallels are hard to ignore. It also helps the CTS-V top every other high-performance production sedan we've ever tested through the quarter-mile. The 2010 Cadillac CTS-V does have a few faults, albeit minor ones.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2010 Cadillac CTS-V high-performance sport sedan returns in a single well-equipped trim level. Inside, the standard features list continues with leather upholstery, power-adjustable heated front seats with driver-seat memory, a suede-trimmed power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Powertrains and Performance The EPA puts the CTS-V's estimated fuel economy at 14 mpg city/19 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined with the manual transmission, and 12/18/14 mpg with the automatic. Safety The 2010 Cadillac CTS-V comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability control and traction control, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags.
GM's OnStar emergency communications system is also standard. The CTS also received a five-star government rating for both front- and rear-seat passenger protection in side-impact crashes. First, the bad news: The 2010 CTS-V's interior isn't much different from that of the regular CTS model. The synthetic suede seat inserts and steering wheel and shift knob trim are an especially nice touch. As noted earlier, the CTS-V's interior also sports as much head- and legroom as some midsize super-sedan competitors.
The split-folding rear seat found on other CTS models isn't available here, but a trunk pass-through opening is standard. Driving Impressions The 2010 Cadillac CTS-V standard Magnetic Ride Control suspension offers a good balance between ride quality and handling via driver-selectable Tour or Sport modes.
