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.

2013 XTS Luxury Edition

This car has a beautiful design inside and out. I have had problems. The car came without wheel locks which led to my rims being stolen 3 months into my lease. On two occasions the rear suspension has dropped, literally bottomed out. The local dealer was kind but not equipped with the training to deal this problem. Third time, they replaced rear compressor which seems to have done the trick. At 24,000 miles, one of the battery cables became completely corroded. Is technology taxing the battery too much? Great car on the road, but leaving someone stranded three times in less than 18 months won't win reliability points. I hope the kinks are out in 2014. Nothing rides like a Cadillac.

1st year nightmare

This is an absolutley gorgeous car, very sleek looking and an head turner. unfortunately within one year of buying the car the touch screen started going out. First the bottom half and then all of it, the suspension is probably going out but I have not checked that out yet, the hazard lights come on by them self and it does it often. The bad thing is I went on another website to see if other owners of this make an model were having any of these issues and I found about 30 that have the same exact issues so if you are reading this and you already own the car make sure you report this to Cadillac so they can do a recall.

after sitting for 4-6 days the battery goes completely dead. dealer says nothing wrong . after returning from a 7 day vacation the battery goes completely dead. I have no faith in this car and am afraid to park for a few days . the dealer charges the battery, I could do that. gm is still the leader in unreliability ,don't buy this car until they come up with a fix for the cue. I believe this is a lemon
