So I got to a larger airport this weekend and they didn't have any DTS available, so I took the only Caddy on their lot: A purple CTS with ~3k on the odometer. It was a base car without any options... It even lacked the following:
-Lumbar
-Power passenger seat
-Heated seats
-Remote start
-Parking assist
I don't expect all cars to have all features (especially in the Avis fleet), but how can a "Luxury" car lack all of the previous options? I'm not asking for integrated GPS, blue tooth, massaging seats, cooled seats, or other upscale options that many cars priced lower than this have (Hyundai comes to mind), but come on.
I've driven around 30,000km in Avis Cadillac's over the last year or so. My favorite is definitely the CTS with the STS being my second choice.
All of the CTS's from Avis I've had were the 1SA package with the only options being the UltraView moonroof and an automatic transmission. I think the Canadian spec CTS's come with the power passenger/heated front seats as standard. Just tried configuring a base model on Cadillac.ca and here's a list of the standard equipment:
Front Heated Reclining Buckets Seats
Front driver seat direction controls - 8-way power
Front passenger seat direction controls - 8-way power
Lumbar support - driver and passenger
Heated front seats - driver and front passenger heated-cushion, heated-seatback
Couldn't find a similar list on the .com site, but it looks like Avis would need to equip the Luxury Collection to get the heated seats and power passenger.
