From the Back Seat

Damon Bell

The CTS boasts class-competitive interior materials and a brash elegance all its own. It can't quite match the ideal ride/handling balance of BMW and Audi rivals, and its cabin is a bit too cozy for my lanky frame, but anyone shopping premium midsize cars should give the CTS a look.
