Big Caddy with Styling

2013 Cadillac XTS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Purchased a White Diamond exterior with Carmel/Black interior Premium FWD XTS in July after considering a BMW or Mercedes.
After 3,300 miles in it, the more I drive it the more I love it. Outstanding ride quality and interior finish is top notch.
So glad Cadillac did not abandon the smooth ride to chase the BMW/Mercedes performance (extremely hard ride) model.
This car provides a perfect … blend of cushion & performance handling.
Big car ride with midsize handling.
The spirited V6 provides excellent power while returning great gas mileage.
CUE system definitely requires a dedicated learning period to familiarize yourself with the many features.

2013 Cadillac XTS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I love to drive this car.
It is just the right size to give comfort while being small enough to be able to maneuver.
The vehicle is great.
The CUE electronics are horrible, however.
Why is it that some engineer decided that a sleek touch pad appearance trumped function?
I have learned, after difficulty with the touch, that the system (like an Ipad) does not respond well to fingertip … touch but instead needed a finger pad touch.
Okay on an Ipad, but awkward at best while driving.
Certain things, like climate control and radio controls, just are easier with knobs. Also, voice recognition is terrible.
I was told the noise canceling system interferes.
xts first ride review

2013 Cadillac XTS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
purchased 2013 xts premium 500 miles ago, so far so good.
inside all materials are of premium quality.
cue system was a little tough, now very user friendly, very quiet and stable ride, and i feel it has plenty of power, i don't see where you would need more performance.
it really gets up and goes, and am getting 28-30 mpg highway.
have had many new vehicles in past 5 years, and this is … as good or better than any hi line import vehicle including mercedes or audi.
technology is far better than any, and the price for what it is, is a real bargain hands down.
if you are looking for a great deal best car in the segment, drove all competitors.
Nice Ride

2013 Cadillac XTS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
This is my 3rd Cadillac and is the best so far I don't know why everyone complains about the CUE yes it could react faster but it works great a little learning curve and away you go the ride is all Cadillac with great handling and stopping acceleration is a little sluggish at first hard hit of the throttle but after that it flies.
I call it techno overload with all the features love … the instrument cluster it is awesome.
