2009 CTS is a hit

Blake Ingram, dealer principle of Auto City, the premier luxury pre-owned dealer in Dallas has been very impressed with the new offerings from Cadillac. Ingram states "Cadillac has been a staple of our business for years and it is encouraging to see the improvement in style and quality. The new CTS is absolutely beautiful."

After a redesign for 2008 that included a completely new interior, the CTS returns with only minor changes for 2009. The CTS sport sedan is Cadillac's entry-level vehicle in the United States, and takes on compact to mid-size sport sedans from Europe and Japan—such as the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G37.

What helps the CTS stand out among rivals is its styling; sharp edges and a chunky appearance on the outside are met inside with smooth, flowing contours of the instrument panel. Better materials were used inside beginning with the redesign last year, and now the interior boasts high-quality upholstery and trim a step better than those usually found in this class. In front, firm sport seats give good support, while the backseat is rather snug but good for two adults. The CTS’s ride is firm but smooth, and handling is quite capable and entertaining even with the base setup.

Available on the 2009 Cadillac CTS is a direct-injected, 3.6-liter V-6 hitting 304 horsepower, with base models getting a 263-hp version of the engine. All-wheel drive is offered with either, but a six-speed manual is only available with the 263-hp engine. A six-speed automatic does the shifting for the rest of the model lineup.

Options include an advanced infotainment system with the ability to rip CDs or record and play back radio broadcasts, new for 2009 Bluetooth connectivity, and an advanced navigation system that incorporates the XM NavTraffic feature.

The 2009 Cadillac CTS continues to compete with the best from Mercedes and BMW with a distinctly American approach, boasting some of the top tech features in its class. Mr. Ingram adds "Cadillac is back and it certainly able to compete on the world stage."

It's Time To Winterize

This is an ideal time of year to make sure your battery’s posts and connections are corrosion-free and that your battery has all the water it needs. If your battery is more than three years old, have a certified repair shop test its ability to hold a charge. Granted, you might be able to find a Good Samaritan to help you jump-start your vehicle in the middle of a ice storm — but wouldn’t you rather avoid such a scenario altogether?Examine your belts and hoses. When you have that full service done on your vehicle, make sure the belts and hoses get checked for wear and tear — even if you’re driving a modern car. Cold weather can do a number on belts and hoses, so they deserve attention.Check your tire pressure. Your tires must be properly inflated to ensure you’ll have the best possible traction as you drive along — and traction is often severely jeopardized in wet, snowy or icy conditions. The air pressure in your tires has likely dropped as the weather has gotten colder, so it’s important to see where things stand now. (You can generally expect that you’ll lose 1 pound per square inch whenever the temperature drops by 10 degrees Fahrenheit.)

Blake Ingram, the dealer principle of Auto City, encourages everyone "to take a few minutes to do these simple, visual checks at least monthly. A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and is much better than be stranded in the cold." He also advises that every vehicle offered for sale at his dealership is thoroughly inspected before the sale and is backed by their exclusive 'WORRY FREE" limited warranty
