Overall our previous CTS may have been slightly better. This car is not as fast but far more comfortable than the CTS Coupe (Performance). We have now purchased an XTS-V which we have enjoyed. With 410hp it's a blast to drive. Our 2015 XTS was destroyed when hit in the rear by a truck at 65mph! Wife was driving and sustained only minor strains........ XTS-V after 5 years on the road still runs perfectly and shines like a new dime. Even though it drinks premium, it's worth it @ $2.59 gal. It's 2020 now. We replaced the Cue screen unit as it failed ($1200) and heated seats failed. Extended warranty handled both. ALWAYS buy the extended warranty with luxury cars with all the options as sooner or later you'll need it. We now have 48K miles on it

Paint started chipping off after 2nd year. Now it looks terrible. CUE system screen delaminated twice already. Cadillac wants $1500 to replace it...again interior is plasticky and cheap. The pleather has already worn off the center arm console Headlight bulb went out. Over $100 to replace a bulb When it is hot out, the left blinker sometimes stops working Fan switch broke and ran down the battery. Cadillac replaced it under warranty, but charged me for replacing the one year old battery that it came with! The engine runs fine, but everything "luxury" about this car is not luxurious. I should have bought a high end impala for 1/2 the price. Very disappointed.

Loved it at first, but fatal flaw...

I recently had this car for an extended rental covering nine days and 1200 miles, so I hope my review holds some weight. When I first got on the road in this Cadillac, I was thoroughly impressed and thought GM has come a long way since the last time I had regular use of another GM vehicle in the late 90's. This Cadillac had good power, good braking, decent handling and road feel. The HID headlights light up everything on the road, but get used to the flashing from oncoming cars thinking you have your high beams on. The 6-speed transmission is good but is no match to an 8-speed ZF transmission. The interior is very nicely appointed, but the infotainment/climate control is extremely cumbersome. Buttons would not register depresses or would be delayed. Adjusting the audio volume with buttons that had a delay couldn't be more annoying. The large LCD screen showed fingerprints all over and there is color banding if viewed thru polarized sunglasses. The hidden compartment behind the controls was too easily opened when inadvertently touched. The Bluetooth connection also intermittently would not play audio from an iPhone and would require an effort to disconnect and reconnect. Which leads me to review the worst design flaw of this vehicle: the "smart" key. The locking algorithm of the car allows the user to lock the key inside the car with no ability to unlock the car. I experienced this when I had the key in my hiking backpack, walked up and opened the trunk where I placed said pack and key inside the trunk and closed the trunk. Doing so, locks the trunk without alarm and does not unlock the trunk and/or doors. No other smartkey equipped car I've experienced would allow the user to do this, and I cannot believe GM engineers did not think of this all-too-common scenario. Even a 2007 Toyota Prius would unlock the cabin doors if it detects the user closing the hatch with the key inside the hatch. Overall, this was a nice effort by GM in producing a luxury vehicle to compete with the Japanese and German manufacturers, but it still misses in the fine details that make a good car a great car.

The XTS is a large comfortable car. Nice ride, decent gas mileage, and spacious. Confusing screen technologies for unsavy computer users. Trips to the dealership usually results in costly recommended services not covered by the warranty. Overall we are satisfied with the 2015 XTS. We have driven Cadillacs since 1987 and have traded every three or four years.
