The 2011 Cadillac CTS V-Coupe Takes It To The Next Level

Could there be something even better than the 2011 Cadillac CTS? How about a car with the same good looks but now packed with even more power than before! The 2011 CTS V-coupe is equipped with an immense 556 HP at 6100 rpm and 551 lb feet of torque at 3800 rpm. The engine is a super strong 6.l Liter V8 LSA engine and is available in both manual and automatic transmissions. In order to provide a balance against so much power, Cadillac has installed super strong Bremo brakes. The coupe comes with a magnetic ride control suspension and you can also purchase Remco racing seats to fit the car at an additional price. Thanks to this incredible powertrain, this car will be able to be on the same playing field with other high end sports coupes such as the world renowned BMW M3. The CTS V-coupe is truly a high performance car; this car travels from 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds, so incredibly fast! And on top of that it finishes a quarter mile in just 12.2 seconds. Accelerating is super fast in this car, merging onto the freeway is a breeze!

The engine does serious duty and is bold and ferocious as the car's stance. Nineteen inch performance wheels complete the whole look. The Magnetic Ride suspension helps to adjust shock pressure on the road. There are two modes for the suspension; Sport and Tour. The Sport mode is more suitable for a sporty drive whereas Tour is perfect for an easy and smooth drive around town.

There are a few minor exterior changes for the V edition bit the gist remains the same; the V edition has a sharper grille, different lights and a bigger hood. The interior is pretty much exactly the same. The vehicle also comes equipped with a navigation system, an incredible Bose audio system and Bluetooth compatibility. This is a car that can be suited for every driver due to the adjustable seats and telescopic steering wheel. Listening to your favorite artists is a breeze due to the music hard drive.

This car is equipped with the latest safety advances including an air bag system, an On Star Communications System, parking assist, remote keyless entry, an alarm system, four wheel ABS and four wheel disc brakes.

A good looking car is just not sufficient anymore, car fans want a coupe that can go fast, hard and accelerate like a dream. Cadillac has proven that it can design a beautiful car that can play on the same field as BMW and Mercedes sport coupes. Fuel economy isn't too great with this car but this car was not mean to be a gas saver. It's meant for the car enthusiast, for the frugal shopper. At 62k it may be a bit steep but when you consider how fast this car goes and how it's completely different looking from anything else on the road, it really isn't so bad. Finally there's an American sports coupe that can run with the Germans.

Get Your Car Ready For A MOT

Once your car is over 3 years old, you have to start taking it for an MOT every year. It is wise to check some of your cars systems prior to taking it for its MOT. That way your car is more likely to pass first time. If your car fails you have only10 days to get it repaired and re-tested, but you will have to pay for another MOT. Admittedly, it costs half the price of the first MOT, but it is still an expensive price to pay for not taking a few minutes to look over your car and find any obvious faults.

Do not take a dirty car for an MOT, during the test the tester needs to see certain components on the car clearly. If they cannot examine all components properly they may refuse to carry out the test. Clean out your boot, so that the tester can get easy access to your spare tyre if it is kept in there.

Make sure that your brakes and handbrake are working properly. If you have to pull the handbrake up a long way before it goes on have the cable repaired. If your brakes feel spongy or are unresponsive, get them repaired too.

If the car is pulls to one side or the ride quality is poor, then the steering or suspension needs to be looked at. Steering is part of the MOT. Push the car down on each corner; it should bounce back up immediately. If it does not, your shock absorbers may need replacing.

If you have chips on your windscreen, get them repaired prior to the MOT. Likewise, if your wiper blades leave smears, replace these too. Top up your screen washer prior to the test.

Check your exhaust for leaks. Do this with the help of a friend; get them to put a thick cloth over the end of your exhaust. Get in the car, put the handbrake on and start the car. If the car stalls straight away you have no holes in your exhaust system, if it does not you may need to get your exhaust repaired prior to its MOT.

The MOT also tests for high CO2 emissions. If your exhaust fumes smell strong, you need to find out why prior to the MOT and get the problem resolved.
