Purchased a 2024. CT5 in February24. Everything seemed fine until my electric water pump went bad at 2800 miles. Now I’m wondering how reliable this car is.

I got my car in mid December of 23. My car had 3 miles on the odometer when I picked it up. It now has close to 10,000. My previous car was a 2018 ATS which I loved. I has trouble choosing between the CT 4 and CT 5. With my grandchildren getting older, I needed more room. I have not had any problems out of this car. Since it's heavier with less horsepower than the ATS, there is no comparison between the 2. The ARS felt much quicker and handled better. Overall I like the comfort and stability of the CT 5 on long trips. The electronics are great as well. I also think the car is beautiful inside and out. The seats are very supportive but would prefer leather, especially from a luxury car. Overall, great car.

Best Cadillac yet

Love everything so far! Styling, instrumentation, performance and comfort. Interior quality is excellent and it has all the options you'd expect in a luxury sedan. The only opportunity to improve would be the dashboard. Tach/speedometer are kind of plain but that doesn't change my overall satisfaction with the car. Great job Cadillac engineers!

Terrible car

We received a 2024 Cadillac Ct5 35t as a rental for a week long trip. This vehicle was thoroughly disappointing. Nothing about the vehicle evoked luxury. Tire drum on the highway was horrendous. The 2 liter turbo was anemic and nowhere near the performance of similar engines from BMW Audi or even Acura. I also felt the brakes were weak. When parallel parking, the entire driver's seat vibrated for no apparent reason- I assume it was to warn I was approaching another car but it was oversensitive and obnoxious. A simple chime is all it takes! The gear shifter also was silly- you had awkwardly press and hold this button on the left to advance from reverse to drive. My passenger complained about the seat belt nearly suffocating him. Simply put, there was not one compelling thing about the vehicle. You would have to be crazy to purchase a CT5 over the vehicles it purports to compete with. A Honda Accord is as luxurious and likely far more reliable.

Surprisingly crude

I've been driving the V6 3.0 liter version of this car for a few months now and must say am surprised by how crude it is, given this is supposedly a top-of-the line vehicle. i think of my old BMW 340i which had the same specs - 3.0 liter V6, 335 hp - and it's night and day. in the 340i you just had to look at the gas pedal and it was in a different time zone already whereas the CT5 was hopelessly lagging in comparison. The interior feels cheap, the buttons feel cheap, and there are numerous small irritations, such as, why do I have to engage the auto hold button every time I start the car? That is nuts - but that said, the cameras are superb, much better than on the BMW.
