If you're looking to upgrade to a luxury vehicle, this is the best starter car you can get for your money.

Not what I expected from Cadillac

My first and last Cadillac. Love the car but have had problems with it since it hit 10K miles (rear end 3 times, computer once, electrical and now fuel pump problems) Last experience it left me stranded (fuel sensor). Dealer didn’t do something right and had a major fuel leak after picking it up. Cadillac will not stand behind the car and I can’t even find the next higher person to talk to (Regional manager will not talk directly. Have to go through customer service and they will not give any information). Very disappointed and will never buy another one. And they wonder why the imports have taken over the market.

I just turned 1,000 miles and I am more in love with this car every day. I drove many others before driving the Cadillac including the BMW 330i, Infiniti M35, Audi A6, Lexus ES 330, and Mercedes-Benz C320. Of these I had decided on the 330i and was ready to buy when I stopped into the Cadillac store. They asked me to take a drive and give a honest opinion. I was blown away. This car out handled, out powered, and was flat out a better value than anything else I had driven. This is definently not my grandparents Cadillac. The imports had better watch out because Cadillac has their number.

I am coming up on 2 years of ownership. This is also the first time in about 15 years that I only have one car. I was worried about not having 4X4 or AWD but so far I have never been stranded in the few times there has been snow. Great acceleration and handling! One of the best I've owned. While some have more performance, utility, luxury, this Cadillac is the best blend I've seen so far.

This transmission is normal?

Least satisfying car I've had in many years. The chief problem is a transmission-- or is it in the electronics-- that wants to stick me in a lower gear whenever the car decides to. I went down a steep mountain in supposed high gear and was going 10 mph at the bottom when I just let it coast. Dealer gave me the old line about European-type transmissions. Another point, I long ago gave up on ever figuring out the information screen controls. Gas mileage is lousy too. Why did I trade my Grand Prix, an excellent car, to "move up"?
