Doesn't look like everything else out there. I test drove all the competition and I think the performance of this is as good as any and it just looks so much better than the others. The back seat is the only drawback but I don't have kids and only use the back seat rarely so it's not an issue to me. My wife and I love this car. It's a luxury sports car.

Bought this sexy sports car (5/18)

We bought our 2013 silver 318HP Cadillac Coupe in like-new condition with 60,000 miles on it for $16K (plus tax) at a local Cadillac dealer. It's fast, handles and rides great like a sports car should, and everyone comments on how sexy it looks. My wife loves it. Driving it makes us feel like teenagers again! The only negative is the hard-to-get-in-and-out-of back seat.

If you don't sit in the back it's a great car. Looks great, holds up and fun to drive. People still tell me how nice the car is. Looks new with 50,000 miles on it.

5 Years, 8 Months Now

5 years, 8 months now. Still love the car. Originally leased the vehicle, bought the car at the end of the lease. Paint is still easily chipped. Still only basic maintenance done to vehicle. Oil change, tire rotation, etc. No warranty work needed at all. Need to be careful that the driver's side window lowers itself before closing the door. Had a couple times closing the door where the window jambs against the door frame and bent the door trim a bit. I am 6-5, lots of head/leg room (no sunroof). I have about 3 inches of clearance from my head to the roof. I need to move the driver's seat about 3 inches forward from the farthest back position for comfort. Trunk space is fair, 2 rolling bags and some extra stuff. Right leg rests against the center console while driving, this isn't very comfortable.

bought the car new 4 months ago,3 weeks after i had it the plastic covers over the door latch mechanism fell off,not a good start[for a $60,000 cdn car] informed the dealer and they were very apologetic and said as soon as i could get it in they would fix it which they did no cost.i would like a little more power,but when in the semi automatic position it performs a bit better.the reason for my purchase was the styling and all wheel drive.i live in northern alberta and winter is around the corner!i will keep you posted,otherwise very happy with the purchase

Buy the RWD if you can

I love this car just not a big fan of the AWD. You cannot deviate from the factory wheel circumference or you will damage the drive train. It makes it difficult to put custom rims on it. Tire pressure has to be dead nuts, especially in the winter or you will spin on ice. Car is heavy as balls too. 4000+🤯. It's not fun to jack up and put on jack stands. I bought ramps, makes it easier. The 3.6 is decent considering what is has to move, I'm happy with the power. 0-60 in 6. The gas pedal is different from what I'm used to, you almost gotta put it to the floor to access the power but once it kicks in hang on. But it's nice I guess because you can just leisurely drive around comfortably when you feel like it. The doors are awesome, I imagin if they ever failed it would be a spendy fix but still cool as hell. The headlights turn with the steering wheel which is totally awesome but they are about $260 a piece to replace. (Not the bulb). My radio sucks but I'm not sure it's working correctly, I have the bose (all highs, no lows, must be bose) but I'm not sure the subwoofer is working. I'm adding my own soon. If you can, get the 3.6 engine 2013 or newer, but if you get a pre 2013 you should change the o-ring for the oil passage to combat the oiling issues and with ALL these 3.6 engines, YOU GOTTA WATCH THE OIL. I cant make it any more clear. Keep it full and check it once a week. These engines use oil, quite a bit actually, it's just the way it is with these, It doesn't mean they are bad. If you run low on oil with these you will have big problems. Top it off twice a month and you'll be fine. You cannot just go by the dash oil monitor, it's not calibrated right for this engine. This is just a cool looking car IMO. I just love looking at it from my window at work, mine is heavily customized but even when it was stock I just love looking at the lines and the staggered wheels and how they line up perfectly with the bodywork. The taillights are just amazing and the car just looks sweet from the rear. I get alot of looks in this car and it's by far my favorite of all the vehicles I've owned. I plan on keeping this car for the rest of my life. I absolutely love coupes and am very sad Cadillac decided to abandon all coupes. I consider this car a treasure and am very lucky to own one. I hope,in my lifetime, Cadillac will make a coupe again, I will be the happiest person alive. I might buy another one and have 2, this time RWD. You just project success when driving this car and it's empowering. P.S. GM.....you sold out America and you know it. Shame on you. You took your bailout and moved to Korea. I hope you will make it up to us somehow.

Owned for 3+ years with many more to go

I've owned this car for over 3 years now and still love it. Currently at 90k miles and just did the 90k mile preventative maintenance. Haven't had any issues and never had anything break. AWD handles great in the snow and ice. Turns heads (especially in the snow) and gets many compliments. Not a super fast car but fast enough to have the occasional fun with. You won't find a better daily for the price.

Exactly what I have been looking for for months. However now the riders side window is acting up.I had read other reviews & that was the only concrn. Of course it was fine when I tested at dealer.
