My New Daily.....

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Fellow F-Type and Jaguar brethren..... I let go of my 2011 Jaguar XJL-Supercharged. She was getting a little up there in age and recently started having that notorious roof popping issue that is so common with XJ’s. And she was on her 3rd blown Bowers & Wilkins speaker. So the time was right to move on. So say hello to my new daily driver..... THE M5 KILLING, E63 ANNIHILATING, RS7 DESTROYER..... (drum roll please)
2018 Cadillac CTS-V!!!!! #NotYourGranddaddysCaddy

So this is actually my first American car. I feel like Cadillac and Jaguar are very similar brands. Both were at one time or another, the cream of the crop and highly respected brands. Both are currently heavy underdogs when compared to the Big German 3. And both give u a lot of value for what you’re paying, when compared to their more successful German counterparts. The CTS-V is loaded with tons of standard features. Even the most basic CTS-V comes with standard heated/ventilated front seats, navi, backup camera, front cameras, heads-up display, a true HD camera that can also be displayed on your rear view mirror, wireless charging, brembo brakes, etc. All standard! Mine has the optional Recaro seats, luxury package, panoramic roof, gold Brembo calipers.

Hahaha. I need a 4 door for a daily. And I still have my F-Type for the weekends or whenever I’m bored. One thing though, the F-Type has really spoiled me. This straight from the factory 640 HP sedan doesn’t impress me the way it might impress someone else. Lol. Having said that, it’s a very good combination of power and luxury.

Hahaha. I told myself I’m gonna leave the car alone for awhile. But knowing myself, there will probably be tons of upgrades soon. But before I touch the exhaust, I think I’ll do something about the intake first. More supercharger whine is a beautiful thing!

Bad *** ride! I've owned a couple of CTS-V's, I think they look menacing! As you noted, you get alot of bang-for-buck, tons of options and nice cabin to spend time in...although the Germans are still ahead in the interior aspect. That suspension is fantastic as well, car is incredibility balanced and very confidence inspiring at high speed maneuvers. I just wish GM would offer an AWD option. It would change your perception about that 640HP power delivery! ![Icon Steer](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_steer.gif)
The new M5, E63AMG and RS7 obviously have AWD and are running incredible 0-60mph times. M5 and AMG can even shut off the AWD so you can drift if you desire!
Good choice though, I'd seriously consider the CTS-V again if I were in the market.

Nice choice! I'm a little bias to the CTS-V since I just traded mine in last week for the F-Type SVR. I loved that car though. I did consider the new V but I just didn't want the 4 door. Wish they would go back to making a coupe. My last 3 cars were all Cadillacs (STS/CTS/CTS-V) and never have had an issue with them. I hope Jaguar is the same. Enjoy!
