The Cadillac CTS. A car that has received many accolades by the motoring press. However, I’m not one of them. I’ve never really cared for the standard CTS, but the V, yes. With that aside, one thing that has really never struck a chord with anyone who has put their love for Cadillac aside were the seats. In my long experience with them, they’re not very supportive, especially for those of us who like some good knee supports and thigh support, as well.
Now, though, if you want some truly supportive sport seats for your CTS sedan or coupe, you can click the option box and pay an additional $2,800. They are 14-way adjustable and offered on the Premium and Performance CTS models. Maybe GM will talk to Recaro about making some seats that would actually make the Corvette worth driving around turns. The Corvette is a wonderful car to drive through the twisty stuff, it’s just not very supportive. Unfortunately, GM has said these seats are too wide for the Corvette’s cabin.
