2016 XTS PLATINUM V-Series

I’ve had this car for 7 years and have had zero problems. Maybe others don’t take care of their cars like they should like servicing the transmission as instructed. I don’t know. Can’t speak for them. This car has beautiful lines and looks like a Cadillac, especially with some nice Vogue Tires, unlike their newest models which barely resemble Cadillacs at all. You should be able to recognize a Cadillac from a block away and say “that’s a Cadillac”.. I have the V-Series so there’s way more than enough power at 420hp. The ride is nice but I have the 20” wheel option so it does ride a tiny bit rough over potholes and such. There’s ample room in the cabin unless you’re super big. If that’s the case then get an Escalade or a Mercedes S class if you want more space. All the controls are really easy to figure out after owning it a week or so. Great car!

I Love this car. I am hard on a car, this car handles well, accelerates when I ask for power without lag. Very roomy especially the trunk. Nothing but praise. All the safety features keep Me out of trouble when I’m tempted by the power. It’s the perfect car for Us who are used to the old Cadillacs from the 1970’s and 90’s. It’s your father’s Cadillac. In fact it reminds me of my old 89 Pontiac SSE. Without the glitches ( electronic Dash was new then and unreliable). But the luxury, power , and style are there. Love it. UPDATE: A pleasure to drive, great ride, safety features are many and work well. Haven’t been so happy with a car and such a fun powerful ride since my1989 Bonneville SSE. Very Happy with it.

had this car since new replaced 2014 cadalliac xts premium. wish i had my 2014 back. this car has pulled to the right and left depending on the road serface, had in to dealer 5 times and continues to do same. my 8 year old gmc truck has never done that nor my corvette. but dealer cannot find problem. two weeks ago whole dash stopped working until i shut off car and them came back on. dealer reflashed some unit but could not find problem. now in the last two weeks i am having tro with anti lock brakes. in snow the front wheels lock up and you can't turn the car.you slide right by the intersection or driveway . it goes into dealer monday for i had to wait a week to get in for someone to look at it. my wife refuses to drive the car so a 72 year old pulls herself into a four wheel drive pickup to go to church. i have always had cadalliacs for a road car for travel but i don't believe i will buy another. very unhappy with this car. can't live with brakes not working sometimes.

Navigation system is much too complicated

Navigation system is difficult to master. Voice commands are frequently not understood. I frequently use an I phone connection to Cadillac navigation for more accurate and easier use.

I traded in a 2011 pre owned Cadillac CTS, which I had for 2 years (with no problems) to upgrade to a new 2016 luxury Cadillac xts. So far I have been disappointed with this vehicle. Within the two years so far I have had to have shocks replaced, drivers side door wouldn't lock and sunroof stopped opening. Luckily all were under warranty. Needless to say plans are to trade in this vehicle and it wont be for a Cadillac
