Last I checked, neither could the CTS (except the V). It seems to be off the option list.

Sad.
Hopefully the CTS isn't starting down the path to oblivion that the Lincoln LS paved 6 or 7 years ago when they got rid of the manual transmission. Note: the Lincoln LS is no longer in production.

I test drove an 09 with 6MT. It was a nonDI, so it's possible the MT option falls off when you go upscale, but the MT is available.

The 6MT trans is available..but as soon as you start adding the luxury packages to the car...it defaults to the auto trans.....so essentially you end up with a base CTS with a manual trans.......my dealer in a northern va......which is a high volume cad only dealer....does it carry them in stock as there is a very very limited demand for them....

Thanks to both of you. It's good to know that you can still get them. I could probably live with a 'stripper' CTS (which is kind of a contradiction in terms anyway) to get the stick.

Car Battery Dead After Sitting 10 Days

After returning from a vacation that lasted 10 days, I took my 2009 CTS to the dealer after a technician jumped the dead battery. The dealer then said they could find nothing wrong with the car, but all "new cars" have so much tied in to the battery that when it sits this long, this can happen- the battery goes dead. Other than this annoying thought, the car has been great. Has anyone had this problem after the car has not been used for this many days straight?

I have no personal experience with this problem with a CTS. But, 10 days seems like an awfully short period of time for the parasitic loads on the battery to drain it.

our CTS is not a daily driver...has set as much as two weeks without moving in our garage...there cant be that much power drain by accessories that drain the battery completely......something else is wrong......my advice....try another service department

I only drive my CTS on long trips. It occasionally sits for a month with no problems.
