Best decision ever! My wife will be the primary driver. We love everything about this car! The fit and finish is superb. The interior bill of materials is close to if not best in class. It is also ergonomically very pleasing. The drivetrain and engine are world class as well as the built in active safety features. Accommodations are excellent for four adults with the storage for most outings. We are ecstatic about our decision. First time we have purchased an American car since the 70's. So this one counts high on the list for a conquest sale!

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.

Decent Cadillac but there are better vehicles out

Love the style & color choices. Decent ride & decent power. For the price GM wants for this vehicle, they could of used the 335 HP 3.6 V6 instead of the 310HP 3.6 V6. The 8 speed transmission isnt the best either. The car always feels like it is in the wrong gear & downshifts are delayed. Not a fan of their pricing compared to their standard feature list. Out of the 4 trim levels, I opted for the Luxury Trim with optional paint & the drivers awareness package. In my opinion, the drivers awareness package should be standard & should include standard full A.E.B and adaptive C.C. My 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R has Eyesight with full A.E.B & adaptive C.C standard, for much less money. I was heavily cross shopping other makes, if it wasnt for the free 3 year maintenance and long powertrain warranty, I would of bought into another brand

Good, Roomy & Comfortable

Overall Good Vehicle. Roomy, Comfortable & Fuel Efficient. Missing Many Key Features that Should Be Standard At This Price Point! In This Segment, There Are Many Choices To Pick From. This Vehicle Can Be Overshadowed By The Competitors.

Bought the car new. All was well until problems with ac started. First time the local dealer charged me over $700.00 to repair. That lasted 6 weeks. Brought the car back. They kept it for a week. They told me they think they found the problem but weren’t sure. Was advised if it persists the repair was going to run around $4,000.00. Decided to trade the car in for something else as we have had expensive repairs with Cadillacs in the past that should have been covered by recalls. Am now the proud owner of a Subaru Outback. Hopefully it will be more reliable.
