Car is really nice but suspension?

I have 37,000 miles on this car and the engine performance, braking & handling remain excellent except for the same issues. The suspension remains shockingly harsh, especially the front and even in Touring mode. When going over bumps like highway milled to paved surfaces the transition patches/ramps can't be absorbed smoothly. A pothole is bone jarring. I don't think the car is meant for run flat tires? The other issue is road/wind noise. Still not quiet enough. A few things that are less than desirable. The Bluetooth and Apple Carplay complaints I had seem to have been resolved at the last dealer maintenance. Rear seat leg room remains way too cramped. Trunk space and accessibility remains very poor and would have been better if the rear bumper access point was lowered to the trunk floor level. This height difference seriously limits the length of items you can put in and is further limited by the narrow back seat opening. I'd consider an XT5 if they redesigned it. The front is ugly and the stance should be lower & flat and it badly needs performance! An XT6 would be nice. More aggressive and a hot rod. Otherwise I might consider the C6 2.0TT.

Not what a Cadillac should be

We drove the 4 cylinder with turbo. The whole time there was a high pitched whine. The engine noise was extremely loud. THe vehicle had a great instrument package except that it was not working. This was a brand new car. The interior was very cramped. The selectable ride was not working probably the same reason the instruments were not working. Overall we were not thrilled. The price was in the 50 k range so it was average for what we were looking at. But definitely was not what we were expecting as far as value and comfort.

never buy a car with ride flat tires !!! EVER ! hardest ride , feel every little bump , forget about even the littlest hole in road , feels like front end falling off, REALLY falling off ! was in dealer 4 times replacing tires 3 or 4, another time 2 wheels, then after picking up car, next on star e mailed me the car had 1 or more flats when car was in my garage. I was right had a flat , and caddy is now not putting spare tires in trunk . S0......... had to be towed back to dealer. Got regional c addy guy involved for Boston area Keith (we'll only use his first name) was absolutely no use at all. said the way the car rides . (shame on cadoilac cts) So my story is after owning a brand new cts premium a cadillac for 6 months and traded it in .stay away from to cts caddy

Bought this used 2016 Cadillac CTS last November. It has all the bells and whistles from heated steering wheel and 3 drive modes to pre-set climate controls, moonroof and a good CUE system (despite people always saying it leaves more to be desired). Plus, the exterior design with vertical LED running lights is an eye-catcher. Sheer fun to drive! Time for 5 stars as I just took a 600+ mile road trip through some rain/sleet/snow conditions in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. What a joy to drive!
