New to me '13 Coupe

Hi everyone! Picked this up in Moncton, NB at the end of July with just over 13K kms. First Cadillac I've ever owned and it's awesome. Took it on a road trip to NL and it ran great. Averaged about 10.5l/100 kms or 25 mpg at 100 kph. These cars aren't very plentiful in Halifax and the coupes even less so. It might just be a keeper!

Picked up this 2012 CTSV 6MN coupe with all the normal V options plus black recaros, suede wheel/shifter, sunroof and blindspot monitoring. Car had 13,361miles and I paid 42,900.
The new ones on the left...

I am in the market for a prestige opulent blue CtS-v any chance you still have it and would like to discuss further... It's ok either way would be cool to get the TA,s out sometime as well

I still have mine but it is an extremely rare European version (global homologation) which cannot be exported back to the USA since it has certain design features that are not found on the US version. I just drove it from Rome to Berlin and back and I can confirm what most Germans told me about sunroofs. The Germans DO NOT BUY THEIR CARS WITH SUNROOFS because even closed shut they are way too noisy. I can confirm that - at speeds above 150-160 kmh I began to hear a rush of noise above my head and as I topped out at 303 kmh it was truly annoying. So my next Cadillac will not be ordered with a sunroof which in any event also adds weight, complexity and torsional weakness. As for the rest, it handled beautifully and even the brakes held up well with repeated stops from 250 kph. Happy to detail the design differences between the US and EU versions and will consider selling it if you want to keep a CTS-V in Europe. Much more fun to drive here and as my daughter said when driving in Germany, "Dad, why would anyone buy a sports car/sedan outside of Germany?" Good question.

rodinoma; Are all your Cadillacs left hand drive?

 

[gogmgo]

Yes - Cadillac made very few models with RHD such as the 2nd gen CTS (but not the CTS-V) and the STS (but not the STS-V). Besides my cars are garaged in Rome and the whole continent with the exception of the islands is LHD - only the UK, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus are RHD and one wonders when they are going to shift over like Sweden did in 1967 when overnight they switched from RHD to LHD.

Picked up this beauty on Friday. 2011 V 38K miles. Mint. Recaro seats, premium wheels.... etc.. Love it!

You are going to enjoy driving that beast.

I had a 2013 Camaro ZL1 that I sold in order to get the new 2017 ZL1..... so this baby will be my daily beast!

 

[gogmgo]

I would like to get a 2017 ZL1 - the previous Camaro was a bit lardy especially in comparison to the CTS-V. But the new Camaro is a scalpel and compares very favorably to the CTS-V

Does not the Camaro weigh more?

 

[vfaninva]

No, the Camaro is about 500 lbs lighter, and utilizes the same chassis as the ATS-V. The Camaro will be a much better handling car.

I can't wait for the ZL1 to be ready for ordering. I'll be waiting for the Vert ... so probably phase 2

Your 2.0T seems to be in stealth mode.

My new toy waiting on pick up from just about the entire country away for delivery to me in VA. Must...be...patient!:stirpot:

 

[tinman]

No patience. Go pick it up, see it for yourself, and drive her home. Well worth it. I drove 1200 miles for mine and wanted to keep on driving when I got home.

 

[MD_Coupe]

2,200 miles is just too much for me right now :/
