2008 CTS vs 2010 Accord EX-l

[KentState]

1) Accord is a full size and the CTS is basically a compact car
2) Accord is a boat inside and out and the CTS is like a Civic inside for space
3) Accord is FWD and CTS is RWD
4) Accord is fugly and CTS is pretty damn fugly in the rear end
5) Go to forums and check out issues. 2008 CTS had steering column issues.
6) I would get the Cadillac if someone put a gun to my head

WTF are you talking about? Wait you are a troll and never offer any real advice.

Accord/Callidac

Front Head Room 39/38.8
Front Leg Room 42.5/42.4
Front Shoulder Room 58.2/56.7

Rear Head Room 37.2/37.2
Rear Leg Room 37.2/36.1
Rear Shoulder Room 56.4/54.7

Every dimension is almost identical unless you can offer some other troll evidence.

He won't touch the CTS unless it has a TRD sticker on it.

EPA says the Honda is large, the CTS midsize...

They are both very close in size and I would bet that the Accord is just big enough to get considered large and the CTS is just small enough to be right below. A co-worker has the latest generation Accord and having been in both, it's hard to tell an real difference.

 

[Mermaidman]

Should I buy a brand new Chevy Impala or a used Lexus IS 350?

The Impala is so much roomier than the I S . . . :awe:

LOL how many cars have you driven?

I've test driven the CTS - it's a fucking coffin inside.

I've test driven the Accord - it's a boat.

Now get the fuck out please.

PS - EPA classifies one as Large and one as midsize, but the CTS is like 2 cubic feet away from a compact. INSIDE, it's a FUCKING compact. :awe:

Try the other way around, the Accord is just big enough to be Large but the CTS is just big enough to be a midsize.

Oh wait, you drive a CTS. You should try sitting in some real midsize sedans sometimes. Also, try sitting a 3 series. See which one your interior feels like.

CTS's biggest pet peeve for me is the foot room up front ... I feel bad for anyone with legs because the center stack spills into your foot wells for no good reason and your legs are forced to be squished towards the doors.

" The CTS is classified as a midsize car primarily on price -- it's actually as large as many cars we rank one class up from this -- so while most buyers compare it to a BMW 3-series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it's nearly as large as a 5-Series or E-Class."

^ Inexperienced failure

The CTS on the outside is about as long and wide as most midsizes. It's part of the reason why it's so fucking overweight. Feels like a compact inside on an exterior wise midsize and can't seem to move out of its own way without a fat V8.

 

[Arkaign]

I know you're just trolling, but I've been in both gens of the CTS. It's right between a 3 series and 5 series inside. It's not huge, but it's far from tiny. I'm 6'3" ~240 and didn't feel cramped whatsoever inside. The current Accord is even bigger, but not tremendously so.

Also, did you intentionally misread the part above where the quote is SPECIFICALLY describing the interior? Troll the boat

LOLOL, no I didn't read the link, then I realized it's USNEWS.

WTF is this guy shitting out of his mouth? It is classified as a midsize based on interior volume, and most buyers compare it to 3 series/C Class because of PRICE.

LOLOLOL @ U and USNEWS.

 

[MJinZ]

Here's a CTS interior for people who have had the pleasure to experience one themselves:

Like your legs being shoved to the doors? The CTS is for you.

Want to give your boyfriend a reacharound from the driver's seat? Yes, this is also nearly possible since merely stretching your arms out will be nearly enough to use the passenger door controls.

I know you do this just to troll and I doubt you driven many cars since you are limited to Toyota and automatics. I also like how you ignore the numbers I posted from the manufactures site. Show any proof that the CTS measurements are within 2 cubic feet of compact? I'm sure you will ignore this and troll on.

 

[Mermaidman]

Louissssssssssssssssss?

Unfortunately, there isn't an ignore button to block his posts so it's hard to ignore.

I think with what other unanimously say, he will see the MJizz is a troll.

Cadillac CTS = 110 cubic feet...

LMAO, My bad. CTS is 1 Cubic feet away from being a Compact.

LOL, I've driven more cars and put more miles in different cars than you ever will in your life buddy.

LOL, cuz I'm attacking your financial decision to purchase a CTS?

OMG I'm a TROLL YO!!!!

LOL hell yea I'm a troll, I know more about the CTS than you do about your own car.

How's your steering wheel treating you by the way? Shit ton of people complain about vibrations on the highway.

 

[Arkaign]

Hah, yeah.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/07q3/2008_cadillac_cts-road_test/interior_page_3

"Possibly the most dramatic improvement to the CTS is the upscale and coherently flowing interior, complete with classy materials and top-notch fit and finish. Cadillac's least-expensive car certainly doesn't feel that way, and it upstages the '08 Mercedes C-class. It also doesn't hurt that even with a steeply raked rear window, the CTS offers a much larger and usable back seat (the smallest Caddy is similar in size to a 5-series BMW) than those in the smaller luxury sedans it competes with price-wise. "

So basically you don't know what you are talking about. Yes 110 - 120 is mid-size, but the CTS is not 110. I will let you figure this one out on your own

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Bold in the rear, tightass in the rear end.

I see what you did there.

Going by passenger volume is **EXTREMELY** misleading when comparing interior size. My Focus by interior volume is within 2% of the CTS, but that's really just due to a ton of headroom due to the high roofline, which is how most compact cars are designed these days (Yaris, et al).

Just to compare, my Focus just by interior volume is considerably larger than a 2010 BMW 328i. This in reality is completely untrue in practicality. It's just the massive difference in roofline.

Well I suppose headroom has nothing to do with how a car feels inside...

The CTS is a tall-ass car, no need to make excuses for its roof line.

Oh and I've sat in C63 AMGs, they are definitely a bit more snug than the CTS but up front, there isn't a huge difference.

 

[KentState]

The EPA site is also not accurate with their measurements. If you look at the same car over a couple years, the numbers vary by 6-8ft3. The 2010 CTS shows 116cf3, but whatever Mjizz shows is 110ft3. I would question using that site to make any point.
