Big, beautiful, quite, and safe

I previously had a 2015 Cadillac . This car has so many more safety and technological features it is a generation apart. With 360 degree video recording, digital 180 degree rear view display it has far superior rear visibility than the traditional rear view mirror. It has side sensing radar, front and rear sensors, automatic braking, collision avoidance warnings in the front, rear, and side, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian alert, heads up display with speed limit display and collision alert. Today I was backing out of my driveway when the rear side warning went off, allowing me to brake and avoid colliding with a teenager recklessly going 40 miles an hour down the street in a 25 mile zone. Thank you Cadillac technology! It's also a beautifully styled car, inside and out. Only complaint is the front cup holders are too small and close together, and the storage space in the front console is rather limited. I am 6 ft. 4 inches tall and this car is very comfortable for me. I am very happy with this car

Base CT6 Steering

I like many things about my CT6. My main objection is the whining from the steering column. The columns were manufactured by two vendors. Unfortunately, the base model steering column whines and the noise is annoying. Had I known, prior to leasing the CT6, I would have chosen a car from a higher model level with a quiet steering column. I have been told by Cadillac, GM, and the dealer that the columns are not interchangeable. The whining is very disappointing for such a well designed car.

Car is beautiful, I’ve had it for almost three years and it’s everything you would expect from a Cadillac. Great style, comfort and performance... my only complaint is that the transmission shifts very choppy... dealer states it is operating as designed...

Traumatic Transmission

Great car as long as you sit still in it! If you can get past 2nd gear without it trying to decide which gear it needs to be in, it runs great. It jerks and feels as if you've been rear ended. It occurs during acceleration and down shifting at low speed. GM tells me that's the way it's designed. With all the technology that is in this vehicle you would think they could get the transmission right. Not worth the $90k pricetag.

Vent ducts in dash / front seat area are positioned too low in dash. Air does not circulate into upper areas of front cabin. Very poor circulation. There is no storage area in dash only small console. Cup holders in front console are poorly positioned and too small to hold a coffee mug. Q system is very cumbersome to use. like the large screen Car has beautiful exterior styling. Ours is Passion Red with a silver metallic body pin stripe. A real eye turner. We get lot's of complements. It is the quietest car we have ever driven. Very smooth with good handling. Lane control safety feature works really well. This car replaced a 2008 CTS which we liked.
