I love my XT5. I am in my mid-forties and never thought I would be so car crazy. This vehicle is perfect. Lots of tech features. Some of the things I have been pleasantly surprised by is the visibility and handling in bad weather conditions and at night. I also like the ability to switch transmission from front wheel, AWD, and sport mode. Sport mode is fun and it gives a little mid-life crisis sport car feel or at least as close as you can get when trying to be practical with a family of 5. I live in the Midwest and so deal with the four seasons. This car cruises through them all. If I had only one complaint is the start/stop feature and gas mileage - not great. I am completely used to it, but prefer it didn't have it and perhaps a bit better on gas. I looked at all the luxury models and this had the best combination of styling, technology, comfort, and overall handling. Wife loves the vehicle and the kids love the vehicle which isn't easy since all of them have their opinions and different preferences. I have been in a number of accidents unfortunately and the safety features make me feel really safe. I cannot recommend this SUV enough. I also think the styling competes and in some cases out class it's foreign competitors and brings something that is uniquely American to it.

$750 to replace exposed plastic tube - Otherwise +
easy undercarriage damage, Burlington, IA, 04/16/2018

There is limited protection of the undercarriage components. A cheap little plastic vent tube to the fuel tank is exposed under the vehicle and subject to damage. THE DRIVE SHAFT OF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED to replace the little plastic tube exposed to the bottom of the vehicle. There was no known event that caused this damage - it appears rolling over anything like a twig can cause the brittle plastic tube to snap. It has never been off road. I am on my first $750 repair to replace this tube. I could see that this could easily happen on a recurring basis. OTHERWISE - the car has been good. Seats very comfortable, info system is easy to manage. Bought a 2020 Lexus 350L and the Cadillac is preferred.update: heater has stopped working 2022.

Not what I'd expect from Cadillac. Transmission shifts constantly. Auto lights won't stop brighting people. Nearly got ticket when the car kept turning on bright lights after I dimmed them. Auto windows are a hazzard to children. Hidden shift buttons behind steering wheel can unexpectedly shift to lower gear even in Drive. That nearly caused one accident so far. Cruise control will go up 5mph if you aren't careful about how you press the switch. Radio has no tune feature so your stuck with what it wants to play. If you have a family or live in a hilly or mountainous environment the constant shifting will drive you nuts. Save yourself the headache, buy something else.

If you live in a cooler climate, forget about the floor heater in the XT5 as it is only one small hole which is directed up at your knees while your toes get frostbite, really!! Next, the heating system...There is a velocity of air trapped behind the dashboard which when the defroster is turned on, blasts of air hit you at chest and upper body, which is overwhelming! And the back-up camera is glaringly bright at night and picture is very grainy and nearly impossible to see any detail, people or animals. And the grid randomly shows up or NOT when using reverse. Fuel door has no lock or gas cap and the door is mismatched color and doesn't fit tightly in its spot, which looks chintzy cheap. Other safety concerns are the shifter in the center console as it can be easily accessed by passengers and accidentally change gears. And the manual gear shifter behind the steering wheel can easily be pulled by accident as well. On to the auto windows which can seriously cause injury or even death, wow, how did GM get away with all of these safety issues?? I loved Cadillac products from way back but now I would rather drive anything else frankly and that's a shame...get your safety act together GM and repair the Caddy's unsafe specs and restore it back to its former glory.
