2013 Cadillac XTS Premium 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
11 of 12 people found this review helpful
purchased 2013 xts premium 500 miles ago, so far so good. inside all materials are of premium quality. cue system was a little tough, now very user friendly, very quiet and stable ride, and i feel it has plenty of power, i don't see where you would need more performance. it really gets up and goes, and am getting 28-30 mpg highway. have had many new vehicles in past 5 years, and this is as good or better than any hi line import vehicle including mercedes or audi. technology is far better than any, and the price for what it is, is a real bargain hands down. if you are looking for a great deal best car in the segment, drove all competitors.
Nice car, but far from perfect

2013 Cadillac XTS Platinum 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
This is a platinum model so it has all the bells and whistles. I like these and the looks of the car, but... 1) my 2006 DTS high performance had more interior room, a better ride, a lot more acceleration and got the same fuel mileage. 2) every 1 1/2 to 2 years I've had to replace the touch screen. Once the screen went black, once the touch quit working and once the screen cracked while parked. It costs $1200 - $1400 to replace. 3) acceleration is terrible. It makes a lot of noise but doesn't go. 4) the ride is just so so. I had a Chevy impala for a company car and it rode just as smooth as my Cadillac. In summary, after owning Cadillacs for 20 years and this one for 7 years, this is my 3rd and last Cadillac. Update: At 58k miles I developed a shimmy in the front end. That was the last straw. I traded it and now own a BMW. The BMW ride and acceleration are much improved over my Cadillac. Time will tell on the reliability.

Warranty claims include the following: A/C - has been "fixed" 5 times HEATED SEATS - 2 times (once where they won't turn off, and now they just don't work) TIRE LEAKAGE - too many times to count. And, NO, not when it's only cold outside - ALWAYS SUNROOF - has dislodged twice and been repaired LIGHTS - Exterior failure REMOTE START - fail SHUT OFF ENGINE - fail Outside mirrors - fail GLOVEBOX - yes, even the glovebox. Drops out of its place and lands on floor (3X has been repaired) **** These are just a few warranty claims. There are others. In addition, the cue system sucks. Navigation sucks. Falls out of sync with phone. Have BEGGED dealership to take me out of lease. Not happening. I tell EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN to run from Cadillac... RUN!

I love the look of the exterior. I agree with everyone about the CUE SYSTEM. I bought mine used with 50,000 miles. After I had it for a couple of months the radio began Messing up. Wouldn’t respond to touch. Which runs everything. I hate the design of the system. They had to replaced the system. After a year with the new system the screen cracked from the inside because it gets so hot inside the system. It is doing the same exact thing as the last system they put in. To replace it is around $2000.00. Even if I could afford another system, I think the problem is more than a Dysfunctional system x2. Windshield wipes and hazard light turn on by themselves. Had to replace the suspension in the front that was $1500. My back left brake light went out. Have to replace the whole light because it is LED bulbs. Dealer price $700. My mom bought a brand new Cadillac back in 1986. She was still driving it in the 2000’s. It was built great. No problem at all. The new ones aren’t made the same. Wouldn’t buy another one. Sad because I love the car.
Nice Ride

This is my 3rd Cadillac and is the best so far I don't know why everyone complains about the CUE yes it could react faster but it works great a little learning curve and away you go the ride is all Cadillac with great handling and stopping acceleration is a little sluggish at first hard hit of the throttle but after that it flies. I call it techno overload with all the features love the instrument cluster it is awesome.
