Self Driving Super Cruise and 4 Wheel Steering

This car has exceeded expectations in every way. There are a number of cars on the road that have some of the options...but not many in this price range are all available on one car. 1. Super Cruise option = Self Driving - hands-free on divided highways...many roads have been added...it is no longer limited to just roads with on-ramps or off-ramps. Nearly every divided highway in our area is now in the system. I recently took a 1,200 mile trip and probably didn't have my hands on the steering wheel more than 45 minutes at the most....maybe just 30 minutes....just amazing! A camera monitors your eyes...so you still have to watch the road. This option is only available on the Premium Luxury or the Platinum models...and runs about 5,000 to 6,000 more...so worth it if you plan on taking long trips. I am in my 60's and it took me all of 5 minutes to become comfortable with using this option. In some ways, it helps one stay more aware and is able adjust for traffic issues more quickly than most humans. 2. 4-Wheel Steering...how many people even know that this available on a Cadillac. This makes the car extremely nimble...easy to transition from lane to lane on the interstate with precision...better on turns and easier to park...you have to experience it to believe appreciate it. 3. Night Vision...this enables the car to see out beyond your headlights. You can even display the night vision on the dash and you can see what the car is seeing. This enables the vehicle to detect a person crossing the street before you seen them...or other such obstacle...it will warn you and assist with braking if needed. Lastly, you add other options that many cars have such as the panoramic sunroof, sunshades for the rear passengers, multi-zone climate, massage seats, incredible sound system, self parking for every type of parking space, lane assist, dual rear view mirror...works as a true mirror or operates using a rear facing camera, all wheel drive (in addition to the 4 wheel steering that turns all 4 wheels) and more. When you combine that with a quiet/smooth ride in car that handles like a sports car...just an amazing car. One has to wonder why it was not promoted more?

After One Month - The Good The Bad and The Ugly

My previous 4 cars have been in order Volkswagen Phaeton and a 2011 Hyundai Genesis, a 2013 Hyundai Genesis and a 2015 Hyundai Genesis. I have been driving my 3,6L Luxury Cadillac CT6 for 2,000 miles so far. My first driving impression is that for a large car, it drives much smaller. The steering is very precise and the car is definitely a point and shoot driver. To me that is a HUGE win. When cruising down the road it is quiet and silky. It's definitely the most serene car I've owned in my 65 years up until about 70 MPH. I think at higher speeds the Genesis G80 is quieter. This is my first Cadillac though because I've always despised floaty boat like drivers and that's how I always remember them. This is most definitely not that. Color me surprised. I actually test drove it when it was suggested by my favorite sales guy who moved from the Hyundai store to a Cadillac store. I fully intended on buying a Genesis G80 Sport and was waiting for one to arrive in a color I liked. (it never did) Hyundai needs to fix that. It lost a sale over the fact that a vehicle in anything other than gray or black was never available. But when I drove the Cadillac I fell in love with the ride. My hot buttons are Safety, Quiet and Handling. I will not stand for a car that wallows. The Cadillac checked all the boxes. I have had this, as I said, for one month and now comes the ugly. The car has been to the dealer more in one month than my three Genesis' combined did over 8 years. The initial quality problems, while not big issues shouldn't happen and I will list them. 1.) The console cover once fell right off in my hands when opening it. It was replaced under warranty. The fact is, it is the smallest center console I ever saw besides. It's almost a joke. Not a deal killer for sure but all the same. 2.) The right front wheel had a big gouge in it. It was replaced but I had to go back to the dealer a 2nd time because the air pressure monitor stopped working in that wheel after replacing it. 3.) When the car goes into 4 cylinder mode there is a vibration that seems like either the timing is off a little or their is a torque converter shudder. It is almost imperceptible. But I feel it. On the plus side, it doesn't go into 4 cylinder mode often. I find it hard to believe that Cadillac engineers designed it to drive that rough in 4 cylinder mode. My dealer doesn't feel its out of spec. 4.) The drivers seat is squeaking. It normally doesn't start until I have a few miles in and the car is warmer but it is getting increasingly bad. If I bounce my butt up and down I can make it sound like a cheap motel bed. When driving it is apparent when I hit a bump or corner. This just bugs the crap out of me and I am going to end up getting it fixed or shoot the car. I also think the dealer prep was lazy. I had to have them work on both my windshield and side view mirrors because of some kind of residue that made my windshield look sandblasted and the side view mirrors smudged and dirty looking. I tried resolving these myself with window cleaner and scrubbing to no avail. I don't know what they used but it's mostly OK now. I will say, once these issues are taken care of I will absolutely LOVE the car. But these niggling issues should not exist on a $65,000 car. That said, I love the drive, the quiet and the value. Would I buy it again? At this price point you aren't going to get another car that offers the quiet, size, the comfort and the safety, combined with the precision steering on anything like this. In short, if I don't buy a Genesis G80 Sport, my next option would be this. For reference, I test drove Acura, Audi (I own an A5 Cabriolet) Volvo, Genesis G80 Sport, Kia Stinger (wife vetoed that one) Buick Regal Wagon and Honda Accord. The Genesis does fall a little short on the Interior materials compared to the Cadillac. But the Genesis has a better infotainment system and real knobs for the radio and A/C controls. I'll call it a toss-up at this point. But if the Genesis had just a bit better interior it would have won out. UPDATE: More time has passed and I think it's time to say it like it is, I'm sorry I made the purchase. Very sorry. Here's my beef with this car. Any time it goes into 4 cylinder mode it virtually rumbles. HORRIBLE! The dealer says it's normal. I call BS. Second, and I'm sure they will fix it. Or at least I hope they will, the drivers seat squeaks worse and worse the longer I own it. How in the heck do they validate seats that squeak like these do? The infotainment system needs tweaking. The lack of buttons means there are always, and I mean always, going to be fingerprints all over that big beautiful 10 inch screen. Now these things may seem small to you, but when you are the owner and driving it, they matter. Especially the seats and the rumble. I'm sorry I made this purchase. I regret it. I should have bought a Genesis G80 Sport.

If you have never owned a luxury sedan - give yourself a month to learn about the features , where they are and how to program them. I transferred from a Cadillac XTS to my CT 6 so my learning curve was much shorter but the surround vision was great, USB and Hot spot features take some getting used to, ONSTAR uses the built in Navigation system - you need to understand the interface features between Onstar and the onboard Navigation system - the one feature that is confusing is the memory setting from your remote key bob - they are not numbered anymore for some reason so you can confuse the memory setting for the seats and mirrors if you transfer remote keys - this is the one feature you should have the dealer explain before you drive your car away - it will save time later. Other than that - curl up with the instructions books and enjoy. After more than a year - I would add that the Premium Red car color is great as well - My car is outside 24/7 and looks clean all the time except during pollen season :) Now 3 years in and I still love the car but will be replacing it with a 2020 Lexus LS 500 F Sport next week. I wanted to upgrade my car to a Double Turbo CT 6 Sport Premium Luxury but GM discontinued that engine and car and essentially discontinued me after driving Cadillac's since 2006

It is everything I expected from Cadillac. Love the comfort and handling as well as the beautiful design. Gas mileage is great, average a little over 28 mpg on a recent 3,000 mi trip.
