“CTS offers a pretty complete lineup as far as body styles go, coming as a four-door sedan, four-door wagon, and two-door coupe. Further, all styles come in both ‘regular’ editions and as an ultra-high-performance variant called the V. The 2013 Cadillac CTS includes a standard complement of expected and federally mandated safety features. Blind-spot alert is offered on Performance and Premium coupes but unavailable otherwise.”

Fuel Economy Factor:
Fuel Economy Factor
-2
The Fuel Economy Factor influence to the Total Car Score is determined by first calculating a vehicle's average fuel economy number. This number is derived from the average miles-per-gallon figure a vehicle receives from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) across all available drivetrains (engines, transmissions and driven wheels). The number is then compared to the average fuel economy number for the entire segment in which a vehicle competes. The difference between a vehicle's fuel economy average number and the segment's fuel economy average number is what decides whether the fuel economy factor pulls a vehicle's Total Car Score up or down, and by how much.
For instance, if a car's average fuel economy is 21 mpg and the entire segment's fuel economy average is 19 mpg that vehicle gets 2 points added to its Total Car Score.
How is the Total Car Score Calculated?
A vehicle’s Total Car Score is derived from 3rd party quantitative ratings. There are currently nine sources utilized for these 3rd party ratings. There is also a 10th factor, derived from a vehicle’s fuel economy rating that influences a vehicle’s Total Car Score.
Although each of these nine sources uses a unique ratings system (i.e. numbers vs. bubbles vs. stars, etc.), we convert those systems into a simple percentage score with equal weighting for each of the nine sources.
