Horrible car! Had more problems and recalls than any other car. Not the Cadillac's that I had since 1990. Had to get rid it and I was not going to take a chance on another CT5. Unfortunately, it's the only sedan Cadillac is making for 2021.

Bad brakes, squeal since day one! Cad service no help! Told to speed to 80 mph, then jam brakes! Did NOT work! Poor radio control, can not turn back to channel. Have to scroll forward thru entire list. Small trunk, hate poor design of web in trunk. 4 cylinder sucks. Can not get favorite exterior color of crystal beige. Bad decision! No maintenance help like other manufacturers! Need more?

Sporty but cheap

The 6 cylinder had a lot of pickup, smooth and quite. Unfortunately the interior was not as nice as I hoped. A lot of plastic. Need more headroom in the backseat. For a $50,000 dollar car I expected more luxury.
