Audio System Atrocious

There are lots of things to love about the Cadillac. The incentives are what got me, the design, the handling, the power... However, ALL of that isn't worth the car for one reason and one reason only. The absolutely complete MESS of navigation and especially the phone system. 1) when you get a call, the number appears on the DASH but the CONNECT button is on the NAV SCREEN and it pops up MAYBE 25% of the time. The audio voice will instruct you to hit a button, but when you do... nothing happens and you will lose calls ALL THE TIME. It CANNOT put your iphone contact list into its system (are you kidding?) and the "hands free calling" is worse than the Prius (which was horrific).

I drove Sade, (I always name my cars) for about 8 years with no issues, not one. I kept her maintained and she performed everyday. Her body style still rivals a lot of the newer cars on the road. She now has a new home giving top notch performance for someone else. Now I am looking for another CTS. It will be my third. Love Cadillac and made in the 🇺🇸

It's really great in winter weather with all wheel drive and is very comfortable to drive. I love the dependability of my car.
