Trunk space is adequate at 362 L (12.8 cu ft) and convenient storage compartments can be found throughout the cabin. Safety equipment includes dual-stage front air bags, seat-mounted side bags and head-curtain side bags.

All in all the CTS marks a significant milestone for Cadillac. Ironically its move to a rear-wheel drive chassis and manual transmission would look like a step backward to the visionaries who made the marque legendary. That said in today's competitive market, such characteristics are what constitute a true sport sedan. And that revered title Cadillac's CTS can wear proudly.
