Cadillac charged me $11,000 for a new engine installed. What was my choice? A car loan or get the engine on a car that is lovely runs well. So hopefully I will get another 3 years out of it. The car overheated no warning. Let it cool and topped up antifreeze. They say I put too much in and when the pressure went up(drove from Maine to Florida) and the stay was releasing it just continues and lets out too much anti freeze.. and it overheated. Woke up to leave from Jacksonville and engine light and stability lights on. Topped up fluid. again too much as per Cadillac, drop to Daytona where that dealer after $800 got me on the road again. Five minutes of driving and lights on. Drove to South Fla. Brought it to dealer limping running on 4 cal... needed new engine. They said $5k used engine. 6k rebuild this one 11k new one. I said used on(from a rear end) went to pickup car and it was $11k they said they coundnot get the used one so they put in the new one... $10. what was my choice at that time? I hate car shopping and do like this car. Cadillac explained they put in a new engine with a 30,000 mile guaranty. They have followed up making sure the car runs well. And invited me to bring it back in 30 days to make sure all is running right. I still do not understand the fill line on antifreeze///

I’ve had my 2012 since 2014. It came in off a lease. It now has 92K miles and I drive it on all our trips except to the beach. The only trouble I’ve had was the air conditioner compressor that had to be replaced. I’ve complied with all maintenance when scheduled. The car continues to run very strong and when I get on it hard it blows no smoke at all while still pinning you in the back of the seat. I have never kept a car this long. Never! Love this car.

A 47,000 dollar luxury car for 34,000 with all of the rebates and incentives just blew away the Audi, Lexus and Acura for deals. I've owned MBZ E350, G35, Porsche 911, Acura TL. So far, it's OK and there are little "annoying" things about the car (especially the phone system), but it DOES drive smoothly despite being a "heavy" car. Pick up is "pretty good" but not "excellent" (guess I'm spoiled)

The audio system is terrible. I swapped it out and now they say they cant reset the security alarm for it because it is not factory. What a crock [non-permissible content removed]. I'm moving to a foreign made vehicle.
