325i 06 vs. 08 CTS DI

pschnei3 · 01-22-2008, 02:52 PM

would you trade your 2006 325i sports package for a cts DI?

Depends. Do you like Caddis?

i like the look of it. im going to go test drive one this weekend but from what i heard they are really nice cars.

Supposed to be really nice cars, never been in one though. Who cares what anyone else thinks on any car forum....go drive the car yourself, and if you like it better....then do it. You're the one who's going to be driving the car, so you have to get what suits you the best.

i was just seeing if anybody else has driven one and what they thought.

I drove one and VERY seriously considered trading in my 323i. It had only been like 7 months since I bought my car though, so it would be throwing good money out the window. In Canada, the used market has taken a huge beating from the simple fact that people are going to the states to buy used cars now that the dollar is almost equal. Had this been 2-3 months earlier, I probably could have changed cars to the CTS without being a penny out of pocket. At this point, I would have had to pay almost $10k out of pocket... Not to mention Cadillacs depreciate like CRAZY. It may take a few months for them to start popping up, but I suggest you wait until a few demos start hitting the lots. Caddys take massive hits as soon as you roll off the lot.

I wouldnt mind driving the CTS. It looks nice and Im sure it rides nice too. I dont know about the ability to toss it around in corners though.

i got enough tickets doing this so having a car like the cts would probably be better for me. i guess ill see this weekend how it drives.

I drove it and it is very comfortable, nice handling, roomy, improved interior. However, the plastic/chrome stuff is just too much. Also, to get a better engine + options, it is way overpriced IMO...
