Handsome and well designed car, not your father's

The CT5 is Cadillac's best seller and with reason. The exterior is handsomely designed, even a head turner. The interior is spacious, not quite as luxurious as one might hope from a Cadillac (I have the premium luxury model, so called) with a certain amount of plastic and brushed aluminum instead of more expensive materials, but the instrument cluster and controls are well designed and intuitive. The range of technology offered is impressive, although the car is missing automatic cruise control, which I had already on my 2014. My 2014 Mercedes S-Class. One would have expected that by 2020 Cadillac would have made this a standard feature. The car performs and handles very well as a sedan: this is not the high performance blackwing model, but it has plenty of pep even with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, but I would have been happier with GM's workhorse 6 cylinder that I had in a previous Buick. I've had the car for a year and it has been reliable, with only one minor electronic glitch which was fixed under the warranty. I'm quite satisfied with the car and enjoy driving it.

Quick little four cylinder

Very surprised with how fast the CT5 is considering it has a 4 cylinder. I went from a CTS to the CT5 and was afraid I was losing power, but it has definitely impressed me. I love how spacious the interior is and the seats are so much more comfortable than the CTS. I love my CTS and never thought anything could compare , but I have to say this car has impressed me. One down fall I noticed is that it can't maneuver the curves like the CTS. It must have a larger wheel base or something cause I can't make good u-turns or take curves too quickly. So far I'd have to save that is the only negative thing I have found.

Well designed car, a winner (mostly) for Cadillac

This is a beautifully designed car, especially the exterior. The interior is reasonably well designed and comfortable but I would have expected a bit more refinement in a luxury sedan. The discontinued CT6 had a better interior. The car has most of the technology one would want except for the adaptive cruise control option which was already available on my 2014 Mercedes S-Class, so Cadillac really should have been offering it by 2020. The heads up display is erratic. I have already had the dealer replaced the cable one time, and the problem nevertheless persists, with the display disappearing from time to time for no particular reason. The car rides and handles well, in fact it handles very well. The 2.0 turbocharged engine is clearly underpowered for this car. It is a bit sluggish getting from 0 to 30 mph but once one is at or above 60 mph the car rides very well and can easily accelerate beyond that level and hold the road at speeds greater than 75 mph. This is definitely not your father's Cadillac, no land yacht. I think it can be compared to a Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3 series fitted with a comparable engine.
