My geeser glider
If you want a car that drives smooth quiet and still gets up and goes this is the car! The gas mileage is 28-29 in the metroplex. I am very pleased!1-24-18 After a year I believe this the best auto I have ever owned. I have gotten 33.4 mpg on vacation trips. Now after a year and a half it is still the best car I have ever owned. I am getting 28.5 mpg combined on premium. I am looking at keeping this car and once paid off leasing a 2019 CT6 with supercruise.

2016 CT6 Base Review
CT6 Base with Driver Awareness and Convenience options including panoramic sunroof. I traded a 2011 Mercedes E350 and not having owned GM products for quite sometime, I am pleasantly surprised. Some immediate things I noticed. 1. When I first entered the car, it felt a little confined compared to the E350 but I'm getting used it. There is plenty of room, just differences... 2. The turn signal stalk is high. 3. The rear is quite large; very roomy - I am 6'4" and my sons are quite tall as well. the CT6 certainly fits the need as compared to my E class. 4. I'm a little surprised that the floor mats or logo. Maybe they do on the luxury or premium trims, but not on my base. 5. The doorsill seems to scratch easily as compared to the doorsill on my E class. 6. I love the driver awareness features and all the tech the car offers. 7. There rear part of the sunroof shade can be operated from either passenger door in the rear - there doesn't appear to be a lock for it (as there is a rear window lock for example) so my children constantly play with it. 8. The rubber material on the key fob, well, is rubbing off. I've read many prior complaints about this and will contact the dealer or Cadillac warranty. 9. The 4 cylinder engine seems to perform well although downshifts at low speed are very "jerky" and unappealing. Overall great car.

This Caddy Represents
This is the best Cadillac ever IMO. My first was a 1982 Cimarron (ok to laugh) then a 2007 STS, a 2010 SRX, a 2013 XTS and traded a 2014 XTS for this gem. Car has styling, performance and handling. Most noticeable is the ride quality over the XTS which was not bad but the CT6 gets a 10 out of 10 for ride quality. It handles like a much smaller sports car yet it bathes you in luxury. My only complaint is the lack of storage compartments for the driver. The auto stop/start takes some getting use to but the on/off switch allows you to turn the system off if desired. I looked at the 750 BMW and a S550 Mercedes before choosing to stay with the Cadillac CT6. The lack of performance and handling with earlier big Caddy's drove me to BMW for a spell. Now that they have addressed that concern I see them luring away BMW and Mercedes customers due to the attractive price point of the CT6. Thanks GM for making Cadillac the "Standard of the World Again"

Guilted Into It
I've had the car a little over 4 years now. It only has 26,000 miles so far. I needed it like I need a hole in the head (had a perfectly good 2006 Buick Lucerne CXL with the Northstar V8 that I still enjoyed but family was "ragging" on me to get a newer car that reflected my financial circumstances). The Lucerne, which I sold to a friend of my sons, is still on the road with 172,000 on it and still running well. But now that I have the CT6......... I actually sort of like it. It still turns heads. Mine was a brand new leftover 2016 (in Nov 2017) with 300 miles on it, and I got an appropriate deal on a two year old car from the dealership. It was also made at the Cadillac factory (then) in Detroit MI, which mattered to me. The performance of the TT 3.0 is not in dispute. It went 0-84 uphill in the blink of an eye (seemed like it anyway) when my son drove it.........and it was incredibly stable and quiet when he did it.....and mine doesn't have the super-duper steering package. Around town, it's quite smooth, but you notice the downshifting of the transmission sometimes (tight?), but that has gotten a little better with age and wear. The dash/interior is beautifully done, but I think I'd prefer some of the "old school" practicalness....like air vents that close and can be directed almost anywhere. The exterior styling is exceptional and I notice nuances every day that I missed initially. People notice it,,,,because its longer...and I've caught quite a few just staring at it when it goes by them. Trunk might be small but will be more than adequate 95% of the time. I don't do electronics, but again, my 30 and 32 year old sons loved it all. Too much for most folks, but comparing apples to apples, a darn good price vs Mercedes or BMW for the same capability. Car cruises nicely on the highway and can be a very good executive commuter. Back seat has lots of room for anybody but really designed for only two people. I've gotten used to the stop-start technology.. You can turn it off though when you get in by pushing a button on the dash. As others have mentioned, storage pockets for all the little stuff are almost nonexistent in the front. Over all though, not a bad package at all and worth looking at if you're in that price range. It's grown on me, and I'm glad I made the plunge after the fact. I also like that it appears to have held about 60% of its value so far, as these higher priced car lines are generally not "good investments"...just fun and safe to drive. I got the 10 extended warranty too as I plan on keeping it that long at least. With only 40K of this model sold total over 6 years (ended last year and not going to make any more here), it'll become harder and harder to find parts....but that's GM's problem with the warranty....or at least that's the way I look at it (smile). I guess they can always get them from China...where they're still being sold. .

LOVE the CT6
After driving a CTS-V for the past 4+ years, it was very difficult to leave that car for another. I chose the CT6 Platinum AWD 3.0TT for the improvement in features, AWD for inclement weather, & larger interior. It has every option imaginable & is an incredible everyday vehicle. Now that I have been driving it for 2.5 years, can say without question it is the very best automobile I have ever driven.
