2013 XTS Luxury Edition

2013 Cadillac XTS Luxury 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

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.

I retired in 2013 I worked for the state of Ohio, saved for 10 years prior to my retirement to afford my this car, a 2013 Caddilac XTS. The ride was great, the sport suspension was a joy to use when needed. Everything was a great Ciddilac experience when it was not in the shop. I have replaced 3 sets of rear shocks, at $1,500.00 a set. One covered under warranty. On this date I sit at my Caddilac dealer waiting for my SECOND all wheel drive rear axle pump replacement. Another $1,600.00 cost. The screen on the touch radio shattered, GM said not a safety issue, I paid the $330.00 cost. The car is 9.25 years old with 90,000 miles on it. I write this review to worn potential buyers the expense of maintaining an older CADILLAC XTS
Most unreliable car since my 71 Vega

Lots of expensive repairs, even had to replace the glove compartment ($500), the shocks, $3,000, valve chain timing cover gasket ($1800) and numerous other issues, all of them expensive. General Motors, creating Lexus customers one Cadillac at a time. Today of course the car is dead in the garage, waiting on a tow truck.

I like to wait until I have driven a new car for a thousand miles before I review it. I must say that this car is a dreamboat! It has been written about as the new definition of the American luxury car, and I think that that is apt. It is not an attempt at a European or Japanese clone. It's its own thing, and I like it a lot. It's big enough to feel luxurious but not so big it feels clunky on the road. It's great to drive. I traded my 2012 BMW X5 for this ( I hated the electronic shifter in the BMW) and before that I had a Lexus LS460. I like this Cadillac far better than either of these.
