CUE the chorus, "We Love Our XTS VSport Platinum!"

Our Vsport had a ecu tune for over 550 lb-ft of torque. It was faster than my C5 Corvette! Update: we drove 3,200 miles round trip to Key West and the XTS VSport made it a easy trip. Set the adaptive cruise at 80 mph for almost the whole way making it a great addition for long drives. The XTS VSport Platinum impresses everyone insight or it. It has the fuel economy on the highway(32.2 mpg, two way average for 6 hours each direction with cruise set at 65 mph), beautiful ride, but firm enough to throw it into a turn and the hydraulic steering holds the intended course. The power is phenomenal and always available when you need it. The amenities are the cherry on the cake, including the flawless CUE. Currently working on an ecu tune close to 550 lb-ft through it's AWD. The fiancé says, "it just goes!". ------- Not much new to report. A new set of 18" wheels with set of Pilot snow tires and shutting off the stability control has a new meaning on snow covered roads. The torque vectoring does wonders in rotating the VSport with the throttle on the white stuff. Over all, even with the lighter 18" wheels, the ride is stiff. The in-laws come out of 10-15 year old Toyota's with clapped out suspensions find the ride too sporty. But they find the rear heated seats inviting when they can figure out the touch screen controls. I'm thinking it needs more bark to match the 550+ lbs bite. So maybe a rear muffler upgrade. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ We traded the XTS and have a new 2018 Cadillac CT6 plug-in. All electric driving up to 40 miles is easily covering our daily commutes and running errands along with eating out before usi g any gas!

This is a handsome and beautifully designed car. The ride is exceptionally controlled and comfortable. The safety features are what all cars should have, and I'm enjoying the extra confidence they give me when I am maneuvering in tight parking spaces. Also on the highway when I enjoy the scenery and take my eyes off the road. I also like the heads-up display with the speed limits at a quick glance. As a senior citizen my dislikes are that radios need not be overly designed so that stations and volumes can be adjusted by feel and not having to focus and strain to see the controls while driving, on a screen that may have some sun glare etc. I would like the power of the engine to come on a little quicker, similar to my GMC Terrain. It has a similar engine size. The remote for the doors and the ignition are a little too large for a mans pocket but just right for a woman's purse. Maybe a reduction in size or weight would help.

I've had numerous vehicles over the past 70 years of driving. My Cadillac XTS spend the best vehicle by far that I have ever owned. It's comfortable has all the bells and whistles I like and no responsive engine. I just feel good looking at and driving my Cadillac XTS.
