The good:
Distinctive exterior styling; nav system with real-time traffic data and dual-view display; willing engine and six-speed gearbox.
The bad:
Plasticky interior; no integration between nav system and contact database; shift linkage needs refinement.
The bottom line:
A well-engineered power plant and nicely accessible dashboard electronics make the Cadillac CTS a good ride, but a few quirks hold it back.
