Not Bad... But

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)

BAd audio

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.

9 Years Old and Still Going

Here it is 2022 and I was looking for second car--what appeared was a 2013 Caddy CTS Luxury AWD with only 15k miles on it. The White Diamond Tricoat is stunning under night light. Drives like a dream. I previously had a new DTS I bought in 2006 and a Seville I bought new in 1979, but this outshines both of them. I find the interior well put together and convenient, the features are many for 2013 and the Bose upgraded sound system is the best system I have ever had in any car. Still stylish for the year, I have had people come up to me who don't know the year and they oogle over a 9 year car. It was showroom condition when I bought it so I have fun telling them the year and history of the car. The engine is as peppy as the Mercedes I owned back in 2009. Just a stunning combination of features, quality, and drivability for a vehicle of this vintage.
