Cadillac CTS because it is better handling and also has a better reliability rating.

Answer 3

Well if reliability is a major factor i recomend the Maxima, but its not going to be as fast or as fun as the CTS. I personally dont know anyone who as a CTS but they seem like good cars. Most caddys are built well, and the V6 is a solid engine. I would go for the CTS but technically speaking Nissan is more reliable then GM.

Answer 4

Nissan is more likely to drive longer--GM vehicles (such as Caddy) from that time period are not known for lasting a long time. If you need to make a decision today, and your budget is tight, go with the Nissan. If you can save a bit more or your budget is likely to change for the better soon, you may consider a newer Cadillac CTS--they've made a lot of progress over the past few years.

Answer 5

The Maxima is going to be much more reliable than the Cadillac another thing you may want to look at is the engine size the Cadillac probably has a bigger engine so its probably not as good on gas. Plus the parts are going to be more expensive for a CTS.

Answer 6

Both are fairly reliable so don't let that dissuade you. The Maxima is more reliable, but the CTS isn't a heap. I'd test drive both, measure the options, and see which you like best out of the two.

Answer 7

The CTS is awesome for performance and luxury. I would go for that. Although, the Maxima isn't a bad car either.

Answer 8

I drive a maxima and it's fantastic
Ive only ever had to get the oil changed on it and thats it.
They ae very reliable cars and aren't too bad on gas

Answer 9

cts all the way better ride very well built low maintenance cost
