Buyer Beware - pure lemonade

The Infotainment System (CUE) installed in the new 2019 CTS is defective from the factory and Cadillac doesn’t have any working replacements. The screen freezes when the inside of the car gets hot from parking outside. That means you can’t do anything requiring selections on the screen (configuring the vehicle preferences, setting up driver preferences, selecting Navigation, selecting Contacts or Phone, etc.). It also doesn’t recognize voice prompts to call contacts. The Audio Favorites you have stored are also unavailable. It has been 5 years since we posted the first review and Cadillac still hasn't fixed any of the problems.

I love the car, but I have some concerns about the transmission as it doesn't shift smoothly in the middle gears, and it shudders sometimes. My car was built after the service bulletin, but I am still concerned. Otherwise excellent. Comfortable, fun, practical, and so on.

Had one of these for a 3 week rental, 45k miles on it when I picked it up. The infotainment/climate system was junk, touch screen worked maybe 15% of the time. The seat and mirrors were constantly repositioning despite deselecting this feature, and the seat rise to exit would cause my head to impact the interior roof of the car. The motor was good, and it would be ok as a highway cruiser if everything worked properly. But as a driver's driver, I had problems placing this car in tight parking spots. Did I mention the backup camera was glitchy and changed perspectives? This car fulfilled all of my expectations of GM build quality. I do not recommend, poorly designed and unreliable.

I like the car and it has been ok EXCEPT for the CUE system. It is absolutely horrible. The system freezes, shows Sirius XM channels incorrect. I constantly updates, or recalibrate, 4 different dealers have done 15 different updates. If I could put something else there I would. No having it and just having a Stereo and separate HVAC controls would have been way better. I like to keep cars for 5 years, but this one is going to go before the end of the year. Update: 3 rear axle replacements all under warranty finally pushed me to trade it in. I really wanted to like this car but it ended up being fairly unreliable.
