I agree. I'd rather have a loaded CTS (which Avis has a lot of) rather than a spartan BMW. CTS drives better too.

CTS is horrible! It's literally the worst car I've ever driven, no pun intended.

Really? What makes you say that? I really liked the CTS. The Caddi CUE system is annoying, but driving the car was quite nice IMO.

Have you driven the 2014+ CTS? Much much better than the last generation. I would take the current CTS over a 5 series any day.

Are you sure you're not talking about the last gen CTS? The current model CTS, 2014+, is simply amazing. Excellent driver's car. Plus Avis tends to order them in Perfomance or top tier Premium trims.

The 3.6L is the weak point though. Too bad Avis probably won't get the CTS-V.

My hate for Cadillac is the same for the past 20 years.

I drove a CTS @ Avis in Janurary (LAS) and in March (SFO) of this year.

The CTS didn't have the power and the car felt like it was going to flip on a turn. Sure the interior is decent only because of the price tag of the car.

Unfortunately I do not agree on this point as an MB/BMW/Audi fan.
I do admit the 528 is a bit pathetic because it lacks in power but a 5 series is uncomparable with a CTS.
