The ride is well sorted out. The tester rode a sport-tuned suspension with a tight and agile feel that works without complete compromise of comfort. Noise levels are kept down, and the ride is only upset over the roughest of surfaces. Most will find it a nice balance between what the car looks like, and the ride its badge says it should have. Steering is somewhat heavy but well connected, and adequate feedback is provided. It's no BMW 3-Series in the steering department, though the feeling is appropriate given the machine's intentions and weight.
The CTS exists in one of the most desirable markets today's shopper may find themselves in. At the entry-luxury price range, automakers throw the works into the mix to try and create the model that will ultimately win over your hard-earned money. Be sure to try some of the CTS's rivals- like the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class and Acura TL, too. Countless other worthy competitors exist, but the CTS's stand-out style, selection and design should help ensure it a place near the top of the crowd.
