I purchased this vehicle with the understanding that it was Cadillac Certified with the extended warranty unfortunately the dealer ripped me off and there is no warranty. While Cadillac is a good product there are too many parts as pieces that can break. I have had the car in for warranty work 5 times in the last 10 months, nothing major but it will add up as soon as the original warranty runs out. The vehicle is still under the original warranty for another month but after that I am out of luck after that thanks to a dishonest dealer and GM customer service unwilling to do anything about it. Beside that I think it is a good vehicle but lacks a lot of features of the new models.

Great In Looks Poor In Quality 5,000 miles - Transmission problems. It "clunks" when downshifting when coming to a stop. Dealer says its normal - BUT IS IS NOT NORMAL - no car I know does this. I have had other Cadillacs, nothing like this. FUEL ECONOMY: 12 MPG Combined City and Highway. Need high octance (expensive) fuel.
