2014 Cadillac CTS review: Top-notch performance, but not ease-of-use

2014 Cadillac CTS2014-Cadillac-CTS-Sedan-048-medium2014 Cadillac CTS2014-Cadillac-CTS-Vsport-CUEiPhone02-medium2014 Cadillac CTSThe 2014 Cadillac CTS delivers on tech and it’s a blast to drive. The new midsize luxury sport sedan can be had with virtually every driver and safety aid known: blind spot detection, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automated parking, head-up display, and low speed crash avoidance. The instrument panel and center stack are a continuous sweep of LCD panels across the dash. You get a choice of engines from 272 to 556 horsepower and prices from $45,000 to $70,000.
The third-generation CTS is Cadillac’s boldest effort yet at matching the world’s best midsize luxury/sport sedans. Two issues hold back the CTS from greatness. First, the 2014 CTS is for inches longer (196 inches or 4970 mm) and still the back seat is not as roomy as its competitors. And then the deal-breaker may be the all-touch Cadillac CUE center stack interface and infotainment system. It’s hard to use when the car is under way.
