It was the first car on my shopping list. And I came very, very close to getting one. In the end, 2 things prevented me from doing so:

1) During a lengthy second test drive, I realized that I could not find a driving position that allowed me to shift without banging my knee on the steering wheel (thanks to the lack of a telescoping wheel). This is something that I overlooked during my first drive, in part because I was wearing different shoes, but I don't want to have to change my shoes to be able to drive my car, and I think it would get more irritating as time went on.

2) Money. The CTS-V is compelling, but expensive, and with the deals on the 330, it was lots cheaper.
