kirks5oh Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 guys, i've been contemplating a new summer daily driver for a little while. i have 3 kids and they just don't fit in the GTR anymore. i really liked my CTS-V, but its still cool here in wisconsin, and that car just doesn't get traction here at all. i knew i needed AWD, since i love driving the shit out of my GTR all year round. i briefly looked at hellcat chargers, but realized i can't do RWD. i was looking at everything. i even considered getting a mclaren, 911 turbo, just about anything reasonable and unreasonable was on my list. i decided to be a little practical. i found this bad-boy on autotrader, and it was optioned just like i wanted. trey (iv rings here) hooked me up as well. i drove to columbus last thursday to visit my brother and picked it up. i traded in the CTSV it has the upgraded audio system, carbon fiber everything, sport exhaust, etc. first impression::: very nice. super comfortable ride, fast as balls with endless traction, zero lag. the sound system is insane. i am not an audio buff at all--but its unreal. the rear seats fold down, and i could easily fit a bike in the back. kids first impression::: they love the fact there's built in wi-fi for their tablets, and the car 'farts' on downshifts. been a shitty year and a half in some regards, so this was a nice early birthday gift http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv265/kirks5oh/photo_5.jpg http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv265/kirks5oh/photo_4.jpg http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv265/kirks5oh/photo_6.jpg http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv265/kirks5oh/photo_2.jpg http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv265/kirks5oh/photo_1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I saw it's twin, possibly that one on their showroom floor. Very nice. Yes the audio system is the best I've ever heard. Congrats! the car 'farts' on downshifts are one of the things I liked most. Now you're going to make me call him and go through the whole CTS-V vs S4 debate again!

I know where yours is at Yep, traded the ctsv in. Seriously, I drove 8 hours in the ctsv and really didn't want to trade it in. But I simply can't drive that car and this new one. It would be a waste. And if it were warmer here, I'd keep the caddy, slap a pulley on it, and call it a day. The v was and still is an incredible daily. Mine has 35k miles on it and is in fantastic shape I am pleasantly surprised at how much this car's exhaust pops and growls on downshifts. And the auto is very, very close to the twin clutch in my gtr in terms of shifting characteristics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 the color makes the car. once i saw it in person, i knew i had to have the color. and having a hatch is huge. i'm always hauling crap with the kids, and love to do triathlons, etc. now i can stick the bike in the back. all the carbon accents are fantastic as well--i would never justify ordering them if i built the car personally--but once you see them in person, there's no regret in the extra cost for the mirrors, engine cover, bumpers, vents, etc. the caddy is in great shape. i'm confident they will have no issues unloading that car. hated to get rid of it, as it was probably the only GM i've ever owned with literally zero issues in 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
