Good: Tasteful yet blingy at the same time. Decent handling. Well proven mechanicals. Saab-grade safety.
Bad: The ride is far from forgiving. Auto gearbox doesn't work that well with the V6 turbo, which also has overly light steering.

Good: Good value. Plenty of kit in a roomy cabin. Enjoyable rear-drive road manners.
Bad: Not everyone will like its distinctive looks. Hot CTS-V model not as satisfying as a Monaro VXR.

Good: Plenty of bling, plenty of gadgets and plenty of American V8.
Bad: Supersize-me proportions suit America better than Europe. Could not be more 'environmentally incorrect'.

Good: Comfortable, kit-laden saloon that pulls strongly and goes round corners well. Good value second-hand.
Bad: Looks old-fashioned. Tyre noise is too instrusive. Lacks steering feel in very tight bends.

Good: Powerful engines and a good level of equipment, especially on top-spec models.
