Front seats, position and ventilation

2018 Cadillac XT5 Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
16 of 19 people found this review helpful
Have had this car fo about a month and 2000 mi. The front seats can not be adjusted up in the back enough for my wife and also I could use a little more adjustment myself. That is not the biggest problem, the front seat ventilation is almost not existent, I took it to the dealer and was told everything worked as designed. They also said they have heard this complaint before. I have had this feature on other cars, GMC, Lexus, Buick, and Avalone. So I am use to useing this feature since I live in Phoenix. I am not sure what to do next. I have the Platinum model.

Moving on from the STS 4.6L V8 Northstar

We have driven the car for six months now and I still agree with the below initial assessment. I think it’s an excellent automobile all around. It’s very comfortable and serves its purpose (affordable luxury). Excellent engine; did not burn a drop of oil between oil changes despite at least 4000 highway miles at a constant 75-80mph. The only thing I dislike about this car is the automatic engine shutoff at traffic lights and stop signs. On this car, you can’t turn it off and I hate that. The XT5 is an excellent car but if you’re coming from an STS 4.6L V8, you will notice a lack of acceleration and power but much, much improved gas mileage without the need to burn premium fuel. I probably will burn premium fuel anyway because I a luxury vehicle with 300HP could use premium even if they say you don’t need it. I want to be clear, the XT5 3.6L V6 isn’t a dog by any stretch of the imagination, it’s just not an STS 4.6L V8 Northstar. That said, the modest drop in HP is well worth the greatly improved gas mileage and burning regular fuel if that’s important to you. The luxury aspects and driver comforts are outstanding. We are not disappointed.

Ditch the Auto Stop Feature and the XT5 is Perfect

This Cadillac automatically turns itself off, meaning the engine shuts down, when you are at a dead stop at a traffic light, etc. Very annoying! I don't like having to wonder if my car is going to start back up each time.

The Cadillac XT5 looks and feels amazing. I have the candy apple red color and have received an overwhelming amount of compliments on its beauty and style. Gas mileage is not too bad and the premium luxury model has a ton of cool features. Diving this vehicle is a true luxury experience.
