Caddy XT5 "Finally"

I always wanted an SRX but now that only n3: 1 car finally pulled the trigger and bought an XT5. The vehicle is eve4ything that I thought it would be. Have had it for a month and just took my 1st road trip. Had to adjust the front seat as after 2.5 hours felt a little hard. Otherwise comfort, handling, fuel mileage, etc were great. I bought one of the loaner cars with 5,000 miles on it. They gave me added warranty miles for maintenance program and vehicle is still new but saved about 10%. Well worth it. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. Good for family or empty nesters or single person. Also, really like how the trailer hitch I'd hidden by the bumper when not using it. Take a test drive and you'll end up buying one.

Hate it

Lots of transmission problems. Lots of hard shifts, wil not go into gear, etc. Shift points are a mess and force you to floor it to get a downshift when all you need is moderate acceleration. Autostart/stop cannot be disabled and makes for a jerky ride - everyone comments on it. Quality of materials is maybe at chevy levels. Apple car play has tons of problems. Good points are that it is very quiet and is a pleasure to drive on the highway. Overall, this car is a major step backwards from SRX.

Disappointed

I purchased a white 2017 Cadillac XT5 Platinum on 12/31/2016. It has all the bells and whistles you could imagine. My main problem is with the ride - rides like a "real" wagon. Very rough. You'd think paying $65,000 for a car would give me a better ride. Another "feature" I do not like is when I come to a complete stop - the engine stops. I was told that was a feature to save gas and can not be uninstalled. I ask you, when I pay $65,000 for an automobile - do you think I'm concerned with whether I get 20 mpg or 22 mpg? It is annoying that every time I stop - the engine quits. I'll not purchase another vehicle with this feature.

I purchased my XT5 two months before being in an accident where I was T boned by a drive at a high rate of speed as always I had my seatbelt on the 4 windows airbags deployed, no glass shattered and my truck was deemed a total loss. I have nothing but good words and am looking to purchase another.

I get 25.4 MPG average over last 10,000 miles. Great mileage vs EPA estimates of 21. Still going strong. Still pleased with this purchase, but my wife doesn’t share it with me any more. So I went out and bought a second Cadillac for myself, a 2016 CTS.
