Great 1 or 2 person car

Don't expect anyone to get into or ride in the back seat. Nearly impossible to sit up as adult and thus should consider this car a "two seater" and 3/4 only in emergency or children (w/o childseat...it is very hard to get it in and kids head will hit ceiling!). Golf clubs will NOT fit widthwise: sure the car is wide enough, but GM Engineers (in their infinate wisdom) made the trunk supports so they come down in the trunk and squish anything taller than 4" tall for at least 6" from each side. And the best engineering feat? Do NOT let your key fob go dead or low. To get into car (there are NO key holes in either door) you have to open the trunk (the key hole is 3" above license plate top...hidden. Once trunk is open, there is a plastic pull tab under rear window deck (if you are over 5' tall, you cannot see it without leaning into trunk). Pulling opens driver door. You now are in the car-but fob is only way to start it-so you are sunk. Don't get me wrong, I love this car-but you had better know idiosyncracies before buying it!

I absolutely love this coupe. I sold a beautiful 2007 Saturn Sky that was my 2nd car to drive hard. It was a pretty sporty model, I had the turbo. Pretty low to the ground and I always said when I start grunting getting in or out (I’m 76) it was time. I still wanted sporty, handling & comfort. I found a 2012 Coupe, cinnamon color. I powder coated the wheels and front grill black. I get looks and thumbs up all day long! I’ve heard complaints about the rear seat, they are valid but I drive so I don’t care! Right about poor design on trunk, way too small. My main complaint is the “chatter” I get when making a tight turn. The differential feels like it’s slipping. I believe it’s an electrical engineering issue. The sensors in the differential are not sensing the wheel rotation. I’ve had it looked by Cadillac dealers, transmission specialists and my reliable mechanic. They all say the same, no fixes. If anyone out there has a fix I’d love to see a reply to this review. Also I just replaced the bolts in the rear drive shaft, two (there are six) of them sheared and it was kinda expensive due to all the labor needed to get at the shaft itself. If not for these issue’s it would be a five star!
