Alfa Romeo Car Introduction :

There is a human tendency in general that people prefers to have the product which is of higher rates as they have a belief that the more the price is, the more the quality is. This is the base reason for the development and growth of all the branded stuff. This is where we UK people are stuck in. It’s definitely good habit to use the best thing but it is not wise to block our minds from the changes that are made in the world. We rarely try to accept the stuff that is cheaper because of competition or even because of the lower margin. That’s wrong. The love of superlatives can ruin our local industries also.

Now let’s compare the New Alfa Romeo 159 2.2 with our superlative belief. This is the car that fits in none of the superlative preferences of our mind but still it can become a huge hit and responsive cars as it’s having all the features that a simple and regular car should possess. Even if we see the petrol line up, it is between the 1.8 and 3.2-litre cars. It has no exceptional and extraordinary features and having nothing special and keeping a sober look is also a specialty, right?

Alfa Romeo Engines :

If you have any of the mindset for the buying of a car or any of the homework you have done for the requirement of yours to get tallied with the expected car, you will definitely find many of your features matching with the 159 2.2. The 2.2-litre JTS model is the pure specialty of the model and also you’ll be having the wide verity of engines with the car like the 1.8-litre MPI petrol and the 1.9-litre JTD Multijet diesel. The diesel engine car are the most running and also the whole Europe has made a great revolution in this regard as the diesel cars are the best solution for the fuel hiking problems. Also they issue a good average and also one of the safe and sound driving one can have for the long run. So, the diesel model is definitely recommended.

Alfa Romeo Diesel Engines :

There are so many friends of us who have the nose rub at the diesel engines and always ignore the change that the whole world id heading towards. But practically there are lots of plus points of the diesel engines. Even the experts ascertain that the diesel engines are as good as the JTD Multijet unit. People have a mind set for the petrol engines that they do believe that the spread of torque is broader in the petrol engine but they always are ill informed as the turbo diesel also installs the same kind of features as the petrol does. People also have a fear of the diesel engines that they always make some big noise while starting up the engine but that’s also not the case with the turbo diesels unless the temperature is too high and there is a messy refuelling in the car as the same case can make noise even in the petrol engines. That’s why the experts have a saying that,“If you are really a well wisher of yours finance, you ought to switch on to the diesel engines and for the diesel engines, there are no one who takes care of your car more than the Alfa Romeo Cars.”

Alfa Romeo Options :

If still you are not convinced with the diesel engine types, you still have a better choice of the 2.2-litre JTS model’s case as it is one of the most convincing options beside the diesel engines.  If we compare the 2.2 engines with the 1.8-litre MPI petrol sibling, a combined economy figure is somewhat higher that of 30.1 compared to 36.7mpg, but at the same time it is much quicker out of the blocks getting from others that have the speed of 60mph in 8.5s as compared to 10.2 and you get this extra urge for the relatively affordable premium of about £2,750. Frankly speaking, there’s not a big dissimilarity between these two petrol cars. They have so many common features like brakes and gearbox, but still the 2.2-litre model unique and distinctive feature that can be seen even from far is its twin chromed exhausts because the 1.8-litre model possesses only one tail pipe. These engines have traditionally had a unique feature of an Achilles heel.

The JTS engine has the tendency to use relatively normal shaped pistons and inlet ports that relies on the actual fuel jet and a sky-high compression rate. Therefore, the JTS engine can have a great functioning at super-lean only up to around 1,500rpm and above. This feature leads to a fact that the 159 is a good option for those who are most of the times in the car or in the traffics.

One thing the 159 is lacking strongly is the addictive metallic zing of the old Twin Spark unit which used to be the prime feature of 156. Still the experts believe that the car is more competent to all the features that can make a perfect competition and in fact it has all the potentials that can overtake the BMW cars back. Now, just comparing the BMW prices and these prices we will find that the price of the car is definitely lower but the quality is surely superior.

Summary :

Out of all the available cars we never say that the Alfa Romeo 159 2.2 is the best available stuff but not everyone can have the some good stuff in a better prices and better quality, there is nothing wrong having them.

Alfa Romeo 159 Features :

There are so many reasons of having a car at your garage besides requirement issue. For many people it’s a reason of status as if they do have the particular brand, they feel that they are “something”!! Some people have ample of money and they are always in search of something that fits in their mind and if a car is clicked in their mind or eyes, they just buy it anyways!! There are also some of the people who don’t have ample of money but still they look for something unique and even buy some of the cars that makes a real sense!!

It’s a Recession going on and all the abovementioned reasons are harmful for your financial health. Henceforth we strongly recommend you to keep away from the Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 as it is the car that if you just have even a flying view of the car, it’ll be impossible to keep control on your passions!! The car has an awesome loo and also it has the best brand outlook. The car can be the best stuff to make everyone envy!! Even beside the outlook there are so many interior features that maintain the supremacy of Alfa Romeo in the auto sector.

The 159 is intentionally created to give fight to the best competitor Saloon and it has truly done that. The car has a huge length as the Saloon guise and the cost is just £28,000!! The cars also have the prime feature of 260bhp and a 3.2 litre model which are hard to fine in these kinds of models. There are two types of models like the Saloon guise and a snaked-hipped Sports wagon model too. Although it does not have a great carrying capacity as the length is but still the look is so smarter and impressive that it carries on the reputation which is also quite important, right?

The stylish look is a trend of Alfa Romeo Cars but this model has led the front with tremendous potential. The sleek lines of the long roof are giving the car a coupes’ feel, the roof spoiler and the edgy aerodynamic styling are also creating an awesome view, a flexible and functional interior makes great senses of improved versatility when compared to the traditional version of 156 Sport wagon. Seeing the most enthusiastic car, we can definitely say that, “The car has all the style and performance that can attract and seduce all the car lovers at one sight. This car can truly be called as the most romantic car offered by Alfa Romeo.”

This car is a good upward version of the 156 GTA and truly it is an improved version as earning 260bhp is something excusive for any of the cars that are having such a great outlook and also the best interiors. So, if the front wheel car is offering this power, it’s a blessing definitely!! In the older version of 156 GTA, the load capacity wasn’t good and there were complains of getting a noise when you have load in the car and you make a start. Traction control was also one of the problems of that car. Some of the features of that car were so frustrate that they sometime ruined all the good earnings of the bright features. But as usual the R&D guys of Alfa Romeo are amazing and they improved all the dead ends of the older car. This new car has all the answers to the questions that were unanswered in 156 GTA.

This car has made a radical change by spreading out the burden on all the four wheels. Usually, in all the cars that were dependant on the front wheels were making problems while they carry on a burden of loads and therefore also making a noise but all these problems comes to an end when the burden is being shared by all the four wheels. The feature of Alfa Q4 is being used in this car and this has gained a great weather capability to the car.

The 159 JTS has also special feature of reaching 60mph in a fraction over 6 seconds and earning the maximum speed in excess of 150mph. Holden unit of Australia has handle the changes but this is not the 3.2-litre that we all were expecting.  These changes can never be considered as direct transplant as,  Alfa Romeo have done these whole raft of tuning and fettling in order to have a feel that it sounds like Alfa Romeo. The reason for buying this car won’t be only that the engine is economical or it has a eco friendly attitude but also the reason that the engine has got numerous abilities and performance that all the other brands including BMW, Audi, Mercedes and all the other reputed brands are not possessing. Weather controlling can be a big achievement for the Car engineers.

The overtaking presence of this car is also awesome. It can be definitely given more marks than even all the models of BMW. The most important factors for the best overtaking procedures are the gimlet-eyed headlamps and razor-sharp front grille, which are looking rather intimidating. The side view shows sharper creasing and swage lines with a longer front end.

Alfa Romeo Features :

The whole world is seeing the outlook and no one is interested in making the view of the inner qualities that actually matters for the long run. Therefore, the choices prove to be insecure and incapable of making a life time relations!! I’m talking about the cars!!Even in the car selection, we just see the outlook to decide the car and if the exterior matches with our expectation, we start buying the car. But that’s not the right way to select!! Engines are the most efficient and important feature of any of the car. If we talk about the Alfa Romeo 159 1.8 MPI car, there are many people in UK who just have bought the car because they were surprised by the extremely beautiful outlook of the car and the splendid beauty it gives to the eyes of the viewers. But, apart from that beauty, the most important factor that can prove decisive in the long run is the 1.8 litre MPI petrol engine which could prove a great blessing for the user. So, the 159 range car is not only the smart combination of beauty and style but also it is the best mixture of performance and economy!!

The glamorous design of the car is a more than enough reason to convert any of the viewers into buyers. But still let’s have the best features of the car engines revealed in front of the world. Petrolheads is one of the types of engine that one will always want to try the 260bhp 3.2-litre V6; it is primarily inspired by a Holden unit from Australia. If some one is more interested in the brutish surge of a big diesel, he can be satisfied heavily with the 200bhp 2.4-litre JTD power plant. They are boutique items though, is preferred more by the people for who have a sizeable wedge of disposable income to spend on such automotive hedonism. Keeping UK in the mind and household, the average income of £19,000 can be more suitable to the 159 1.8 MPI. So, there are numerous verities of engines that can rock your mind and also your pocket. Every range of income group is taken into consideration while making the engine of Alfa Romeo 159.

Alfa Romeo Specialty :

There are numerous specialty of the cars that can be described in details but major noticeable feature is that the car is and awesome example of the machinery largely. 159 have so many upward stands than the older 156 model. The MPI engine is refined and smooth even at higher revs and this could be the most unique character of the car as the 156 was not having this feature. Still, the lack of addictive metallic zing of the old Twin Spark unit which was present in the older version of 156 is definitely a missing charm in the car. The plus point of the refined and smoother revs is that it adds a better power response than even what we get in the higher engine speeds. 175Nm of torque is available at 4,500rpm which is very close to the same of BMW 318i and 320i. So, the MPI has a glory effect and it changes the whole dimension and look of the car while driving. You may never feel to change the car and shift to the so called superior and branded cars if you drive this car once, that’s for sure!! Also it has got an extra ordinary feature that it can get to 60mph in just 10.2 seconds and a high top gear enables it of hitting a 128mph maximum.

The experience of the people who have used this vehicle is that this car has all the potentials performance that can beat the heat of even all the models of BMW on the road. The exclusive gimlet-eyed headlamps and razor-sharp front grille is the most intimating feature of the car. The rear end is intentionally made tricky to differentiate from the older version of 156 but still if we see it from the side view rather than the front view, we would find it sharper creasing and swage lines and a longer front end. So, it could definitely said by the changes made and also by seeing the most fabulous features of 159 that,“If you were satisfied with the 156 model, the 159 will make you stunned with the prime features and if you were not the fan of 156, 159 are just made for you!!”

The most elegant and liked feature of the car is perhaps the most impressive front wheel drive car. The experts are seeing this car more competent to the brands like Jaguar, BMW and also some of the Honda cars. The build quality of the car is also developed in a fabulous ways and the rear legroom and headroom are improved in many ways. Also the loading capacity and the back seat room are quite comfortable in the 159 model. For the carrying capacity, the Sport Wagon model of 159 is one of the best available models in the sector.

Alfa Romeo Interiors :

With the 159 all models you will be able to see that there’s a light, a pull cover and the prime shape of the same is that the load area is broad, flat and low with no intrusion from the rear suspension. The rear seats can comfortably split 60/40 and there’s a fold down section in the middle which can enable the longer and heavier luggage. They have placed a small cargo net on one side which makes it easier to place the store gloves, a torch or other bits and pieces.

Summary :

There are lots of changes made to the 156 model, some of them seem as the required improvements and some of them seem to be the missing of the technology and practicality. But still over all, the critics and experts have uttered in favour of 159 and counted this car as the best competitor for all the rest of best cars!!

Alfa Romeo Company :

Alfa Romeo is the company which is more known for the innovation in the car industries. The company has git the biggest stake in the biggest change of automobile industries. The gaining popularity of Diesel Engines is the gift of the company to the world. Alfa Romeo is famous for using the diesel engines in each and every newly launched car since 1997. Also the company was the first to import the first ever Diesel Rail Engine in the 70’s. Company has got wider experience of using diesel engine and also the company has changed the whole dimension of diesel engine by introducing turbo diesel engines which are the best solution for the traditional drawbacks of diesel engines like making noise while starting the car, spreading more CO2 in the environment and also lacking speed of the car.

So, the company changed the entire psychological scenario of not only Italy but the whole Europe. Company has got so much potential that even in such worsening phase of Recession, company has increased the sales and the entire industry got an inspiration from the company. So, one of the most reputed and innovative company Alfa Romeo launched one of the most splendid cars, Romeo Brera Range Car.

Romeo Brera was launched first time in the Geneva Motor Show in 2002 and it was a stunning success. The car won the best car award there and everyone including all the rivals also was speechless with this magnificent car. Brera is one of the best-looking and smart cars Alfa has ever introduced. Alfa is also known as the producers of romantic and seducing cars. Let’s see some of the exclusive features of  Alfa Romeo Brera Range Car.

Alfa Romeo Features :

After shocking the world in Geneva Motor Show in 2002, again in the 2005 show the car was almost ready to rock the world again. The car has so much enthusiastic and extra ordinary look that even after so many years of launching; the car has maintained the same charm and curiosity among the car lovers. The company has also introduced the Brera S model which is full of technical magic and glorious functions.

The Brera S has got two of the major fascinating features that are totally distinct and dynamic. The first one is that the car is not the front-wheel drive, but it’s an all-wheel drive. This is the function that balances and distributes the entire load of the car to all the wheels and makes the car more balanced and equally distributed. The benefit of this feature is that the car keeps on balance of its wheels and also makes the car weather free and has no problem at all while driving in the wet season when the roads are full of water or even when the snows are covered on the roads. So, this weather free control makes the car most emerging and efficient car as this feature is not available even with all the branded cars like Audi, BMW or even the Land Rovers. So, the car becomes one of the top most brand makers in the world by adding the technically superior feature of all-wheel drive.

Another revolutionary innovation of Brera S is the automatic gearbox. This is the function in which the driver need not make any actions of changing gears. He just needs to guide the gears and to control the speed and steering. This function could be very important for the long driving and also for the drivers who have most driving on the roads. It also can reduce the road accidents as the entire control of the car is being transferred to the automatic gearbox system. So, this both systems rocked the car companies and in very short span the Brera became one of the most sold and preferred cars of people. The Brera is one of the most stylish and best looking cars. The gorgeous features are sufficient enough to make the person spellbound and to make everyone car crazy.

Brera also started the popular function of flip-up doors in to action. This was the feature that made the world fan of this company as almost all the other companies had stopped the production of flip-up doors and tat such a critical time, the Alfa Romeo took decision of making a fabulous car. Even after certain years of introduction, Brera is still the same popular and good selling range of the company. Triple circular headlamps are the special feature of the Brera. Car grille is also made in such a tremendous way that it sounds pretty beautiful. Brera is enriched with some of the swage lines and also the under bumper intakes. An aggressive look and aggression in the speed and engine is quite a spectacular feature of the car.

Even if we check the rear part of the car, it seems like a million dollar babe. Somewhat roundish and softish front of the car gives it a magnificent look. A pair of wedge-shaped tail lamps gives some beautiful shapes and curves to the car. The arrowhead rear window and quad tailpipes are the style icons. The distance between the leading edge of the door and the trailing edge of the front wheelarch is less than half that of the show car.  The roofline is raised and a traditional approached B-pillar has also been quietly inserted. The door size is also appropriating the elegance of the design. The car is one of the best looking and smarter looked car of the world is something that’s not an excess saying!!

Summary :

So, the Brera fever is still on!! Brera and Brera S are the models that have been rocking the world since 8 years and still it’s as younger as the day of launching, so is the craze of people!!

Beautiful Alfa Romeo :

Someone has said that there is nowhere beauty in the world, beauty is in the eyes. But I have a difference with the saying. There are so many places and things in the world that are actually beautiful and not the eyes have that beauty sense. One of such things in the world is the car that is in front of you. People used to play Blind games while they play in Casino or Cards. People also go for the Blind Dates, but this is the beauty of the car for which I would say, one must go for the car blindly!!

It’s the car with a splendid beauty and awesome view of the facilities and fabulous features. The person who owns it must keep himself aware of the fact that he has something special in his pocket. As if people would let him know!! At the first look you might find this car a bit costlier but the car has got as many as numerous features that prove the car as the most rocking and smashing hit car.

Alfa Romeo Company :

Alfa Romeo is the company that is specifically made for the perfect cars. They have got the biggest and technically richest R&D staff which has got so many ideas and innovative features that are implemented deliberately and people are getting some of the most splendid cars of the world. The Alfa Romeo Company has introduced one of the world’s finest cars, 8C Competizione car.

There are so many companies who are having the oldest records but, the Alfa Romeo Company has introduced their first car in just late nineties and has launched some beauty every year. People do not get proper platform and henceforth lose their own potential waste. But, there are some brilliants that create their own platforms and write their own history. Alfa is such a company that makes the world on its feet by own efforts. They have reached to such a stage that even in the Recessional phase when no one is expected of enhancing business, this company is introducing new models and also they are earning a great amount of money as selling of their car is increased these days. Quality matters, right?

Alfa Romeo Engine :

The 8C Competizione is the car which can be sold without any of the offers still there are some options for the engine in the car. The engine options are 4.7-litre V8 engine tucked in there that generates 450bhp, the demand growth can be identified.

The engine is a version of Maserati’s acclaimed 4.2-litre V8 and the 8C chassis itself is a Maserati’s Quattroporte floorpan that has been shortened by 40cm with a revised rear structure to which the Quattro Porte’s double-wishbone suspension has been grafted. A paddle shift six-speed gearshift helps the sprint to 60mph flash by in 4 seconds on the way to a top speed of 182mph.

There is a special feature of weight distribution in the car and the distribution is done so nicely like it is 49 per cent front and 51 per cent rear. The car is also having an extremely firm damping, a smart traction control system and an all-up weight of just 1,585kg means that the 8C corners as well as it goes. The disc brakes are 360mm at the front and 330mm at the back which stops the car soundly and superbly. In short, the 8C Competizione is a car that has everything in order and everything perfect that can never be doubted. The functioning of the car is so deliberate and excellent that people never feel like they are even driving the car!!

Alfa Romeo Features :

The car is so excellent and extra durable that there would be no case where the tires could be changed. When you are paying money, you must be awarded with the quality and it should be so sound that the no one can even think to replace the car. It would be a tough challenge for anyone to find out any of the mistake in any of the angle of the car. It’s just perfect!!

It’s a two seater car and one might not feel worth of having such an expensive car just for two persons. The carbon-backed front seats are still and need a spanner to adjust them. The boot resides under a lifting glass hatch and having space that can keep even the briefcase within. The space is such a big that evens a pair of Schedoni leather bags can sit behind the seats, strapped to the bulkhead. The finishing of cabin is also quite fantastic and matters a lot while viewing the whole car!

If you are planning to have the car now, it would be too late probably as there were just 500 cars manufactured and out of them just 41 were remaining while writing this article. One might feel that the prices are high but if you see the prices and the splendid features of the car you would definitely prefer to buy this car than selecting the top-line Mercedes SL or an Aston Martin DBS, that doesn’t look bad value at all.

There’s also another option with the same model called “spider”. But that also would have been finished as there were just 500 cars which are sold out. In this model, there are quite a fabulous facilities like inside the carbon fibre cockpit, a dashboard-mounted button effortlessly transforms the perfectly cosseted cabin of the Alfa 8C Spider into a sublime open top GT cruiser. Also the roof creates a perfectly weatherproof, acoustically comfortable passenger environment. For added individuality, the roof can also be personalised in various colours to suit the body colour of the vehicle.

Summary :

The 8C Competizione has some valuable features that are non available anywhere and are very luxurious and charming ones. One of the best cars Alfa Romeo would have presented!!

It is perfect for larger families or those who like to holiday often as this model can comfortably seat eight passengers and can also haul a lot of cargo at the same time offers an outgoing appearance and personality of an SUV.

Chevrolet Traverse Body Style :

The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse is a large crossover SUV that is available in three trims viz. as base LS, mid-range LT, and top-of-the-line LTZ. However e found that the exteriors were quite similar in all the three trim levels. The base model is very simply designed with the brands bow tie logo on the grille and projector type headlights on the front. The taillight is also perfectly placed at the rear corners but does not provide an appealing look. The exteriors are not too flashy or alluring.The interiors of this car are designed to be functional rather than beguiling the eyes. The dashboard offers a sweeping twin cockpit looks. The controls are well placed and easy to use. The interiors are made up of hard plastic which does not entice the interior cabin. Overall the exterior as well as the interior looks are quite practical but not appealing to the eyes.

Chevrolet Traverse Features :

The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse includes all the basic standard features that are available with all automakers.  The basic LS model includes features such as 17 inch wheels, automatic headlights, split-folding second- and third-row bench seats, full power accessories, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, OnStar , a six-speaker CD and MP3 player with an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio.The LT model is further available in two packages the 1LT and 2LT. the 1LT includes all the features of the base model along with 18 inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, remote vehicle start, an eight way power driver seat and leather wrapped steering wheel. The 2LT package additionally includes features such as seven-passenger seating featuring second-row captain’s chairs, a rearview camera integrated into the rearview mirror, tri-zone automatic climate control, blue tooth, a 10-speaker Bose system and rear audio system controls.
The premium LTZ model includes features of the 2LT model along with additional features such as 20-inch wheels, power front seats with driver memory settings, leather seating and a navigation system with real-time traffic.You can also add any of these features to your base model via optional packages.

Chevrolet Traverse Performance :

The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse offers better performance than any other full size SUV. They are well outfitted with 3.6liter V6 engine that produces 281 hp and 266 pound feet of torque. The premium LTZ model offers 288 hp and 270 pound feet of torque which accelerates at a leisurely pace. The base model is also equipped with six speed automatic transmissions with manual shift controls powered by front wheel drive or all wheel drive.  We noted that the shifts very smoothly and timely. During our test drive we were very impressed with the cruising feature which was very quiet and impressive. This model is perfectly crafted with 20 inch wheel, good suspensions and quick steering response which offer a smooth ride even on the most imperfect roads. We found that 2009 Chevrolet Traverse offers a comfortable ride from zero to 60 mph in a little bit more than 8 seconds. The brakes were also very responsive which makes the Traverse feel sporty in spite of its large size.This model offers better fuel economy in comparison to other similar vehicles. We found that the front wheel Traverse estimated fuel economy of 17 mpg city levels, 24 mpg on highway and 19 mpg combined whereas the all wheel drive Traverse models estimated 16 mpg city levels, 23 mpg on highway and 19 mpg combined.

Chevrolet Traverse Quality :

The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse offers a new image to GMs interior quality.  This model is perfectly designed to offer comfortable seating space for all its passengers. Whether you are seated on the captain’s chairs or a three-seat bench in the second row it provides complete comfort and convenience to all the passengers which makes it an ideal vehicle for long distance travel. The third row seat is also equally comfortable and can seat adult passengers with comfort unlike other vehicles of similar kinds where the third row gets congested and stuffy. This version also provides convenience to the passengers on the mid row to move forward or backward up to four inches. The area behind the third row also provides sufficient space to store cargo, in fact we found that the storage space was more than any other average mid size sedan. The engine is also well collaborated and does not make much noise. The brakes and suspensions are blissfully good and assist in providing a very smooth ride even on unpaved surfaces.The interiors are also well designed taking care of all the smaller fine prints. The quality of the materials that are used is good but does not provide fineness.

Chevrolet Traverse Safety :

The 2009 Chevrolet Traverse boasts of having all the necessary safety features. The safety features that are included are front seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags for all three rows, antilock disc brakes, traction and stability controls. During the various tests conducted to check the safety ratings, this Chevy model scored a perfect five stars for its frontal- and side-impact and for its protection of occupants in head-on and side-impact collisions. The only safety problem that we depicted for the safety of the travelers was that it offers poor visibility as the view to the front corners is partially obscured by thick roof pillars which could be a hindrance while driving safely.

Conclusion :

The 2009 Chevrolet is a practical family car with a large and sturdy frame. The main highlights of this Chevrolet car is that it offers comfortable seating for eight passengers, easy to drive in spite of being a large vehicle, it has smooth shifting transmission, the brakes and suspensions are commendable as they provide a smooth ride. The main drawback that we noted was that the exterior styling is very mediocre, and the heavy weight leads to leisurely acceleration.

The 2009 Cadillac CTS priced at MSRP: $36,560 – $40,760 is an entry level sports sedan available in the United States. This mid size luxury sport sedan is larger than its competitors and offers more cabin space in a very stylish manner. Cadillac has proved true to its tagline “The standard of the World.”

Cadillac CTS Body Style :

The 2009 Cadillac has a well crafted body which draws looks and attention from the most affluent class of people.  The body is well styled with sharp edges and a chunky appearance on the outside. The new headlights are well placed on the front side which offers an appealing appearance to this modern beauty. The inset fog lamps, two-tone grille, and bumper extensions which are placed below each headlight give it an appealing look.   The body is styled with thick rear pillars and roofline which offers good look to the body but it obstructs the view, and confines backseat space and trunk access.The interiors are also very cheerfully defined with a V shape centre console stack that puts most buttons in the small area in the dash board which makes it easy to see, find and operate. The interiors are well done but they have used different materials, finishes and contrasting design details which breaks the harmony. Overall, the 2009 Cadillac projects a different style on the exteriors and the interiors are attractive but it might not suit everyone’s tastes.

Cadillac CTS Features :

The 2009 Cadillac CTS is equipped with standard features such as an eight way power driver seat, 17 inch wheel, dual zone automatic climate controls, leather seating, a CD/MP3 player with an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio. There are plenty of additional features which are available and which can be outfitted as per the buyer’s choice like rain sensing wipers, upgraded power/ heated front seats, Bose audio system with a CD changer that also includes a well-designed iPod integration interface, and the advanced navigation system. Overall we found that Cadillac has ample of options to buyers who wish to equip their car using latest technology. Buyer’s can also integrate personal entertainment with leading edge technology.

Cadillac CTS Performance :

The 2009 Cadillac CTS is perfectly comfortable and offers exceptionally good performance. The crisp steering and excellent road feels makes driving an ultimate pleasure. The suspensions are perfect and offers comfort even while traveling at high speeds. The base model is powered by 3.6 liter V6 generating 258 horsepower and 252 pound- feet of torque while the other trim is powered by 3.6-liter direct-injection (DI) V6 generating 304 horsepower and 273 pound  feet of torque.  The six speed manual transmission is standard with the base engine while the DI engine has automatic transmission as standard and the manual as optional. We found that 2009 V6 DI CTS model offered a smooth ride from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. This model weighs more than the other cars of its own class and hence is slower than competitors with similar power outputs.

We would recommend premium fuel for both the engines but more particularly for the more powerful engine .Both the engines offer virtually the same fuel economy with the base engine offering 18 mpg city limits 26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined and the DI engine offering 17 mpg city limits, 26 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. Overall the 2009 Cadillac CTS offers a tough competition to its competitors with an excellent ride and handling balance especially when equipped with the sport-tuned suspension.

Cadillac CTS Quality :

The 2009 Cadillac CTS has the look and feel to give true competition to its rivals.  The engines are well equipped to offer smooth and quite ride. Additional features such as triple door seals assist in reducing noise inside the cabin. The seats did not t qualify to meet the needs of a sports sedan. The front row seats do not offer ample thigh support and the sunroof also marginally reduces the headroom space. Taller drivers would not find it comfortable to drive for longer distances.   The back seats are ergonomically designed with the back rest folding forward which makes space for larger parcels. The tires are perfect to offer a smooth ride as these tires remain firmly planted on the ground. This model is equipped with FE3 suspensions which offer a pleasant drive even on the rough surfaces. The suspensions soak up the bumps and hence the steering wheels do not vibrate which makes the drive never feel harsh. The interiors are made up of high quality upholstery and are better than those usually found in this class.

Cadillac CTS Safety :

The 2009 Cadillac CTS model includes a host of safety features such as antilock disc brakes, stability control, front seat airbags, full length side curtain airbag, and traction control. During the various crash tests that were conducted this model earned four out of five stars for driver protection in head on collisions while the impact for the side-impact protection of front and rear passengers received complete five stars.

Conclusion :
The 2009 Cadillac is a GM vehicle that projects itself as an unique American style statement. The main high lights of this vehicle are that they are available in all wheel drive (AWH), they have roomier cabins in comparison to its competitors, the exterior styling of this model is distinctive, and it offers excellent handling and braking. The main drawbacks that we noted were the interiors are too busy, there is poor rear visibility and the weight also hampers the car performance.
