2008 Cadillac CTS Safety Review

July 28, 2008

SAFETY | 8 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

top Good ratings in all tests
IIHS

four stars frontal for the driver, five stars in all other tests
NHTSA

The 2008 Cadillac CTS failed to get the top five-star rating in the federal government’s frontal crash test but emerged from all other tests with flying colors. It has all the safety features of most other cars in its class, including electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, side curtain airbags, and front side airbags. The only thing that some vehicles in its price range have but the CTS doesn’t is rear side airbags.

Conclusion

The 2008 Cadillac CTS gets high marks in safety, but so do most of the competitors in this class.

Other Choices:

Overall, the CTS is slightly larger and heavier than its chief competitors. Like the 3-Series, IS, and C-Class, the CTS is offered with two different engines, as well as available all-wheel drive, as all of its primary competitors do. Nearly all of these come in a more traditional luxury shape, and the C-Class closely rivals the CTS for features, while the turbocharged 335i has much faster acceleration and the G35 has even crisper handling.
