2016 Cadillac XTS Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

Overall, my 2016 XTS AWD Cadillac was a phenomenal purchase. It is a first class vehicle that is worth more than I paid for it. The inside is luxurious and the exterior makes the statement of pure luxury. It is a large car designed for traveling and riding, rather than a driving automobile. The XTS is not known for impeccable handling. You need to check out the CTS models if you want a sporty ride that hugs the road. This is a luxury cruiser that is quiet, comfortable, safe and has all the amenities you would need. Those that give a negative critique of the Info-tainment system have not researched the manuals. Once you experience the overall navigation system, you will find that it is a breeze...the way we felt back in the 90's about a computer. A car buyer needs to do his/her homework, for all cars are designed for particular buyers. The German automakers accentuate driving, rather than comfort and reliability. If your priority is reliability, get a Lexus or Toyota, though they are a bit "vanilla" in appearance. The Cadillac strikes a balance between driving and riding, and has the Cadillac name plate!

I've owned my XTS for almost 3 years now and still absolutely love it! I'm not a grandpa but i did want a nice roomy car that still had an athletic feel. The overall quality of the build and features surpasses all other cars on the road in my opinion. I started with an open mind when buying my new car and spent 2 years looking at all models available. I ended up choosing between the XTS and a used S Class Mercedes. The length of my garage ultimately made my decision but I don't regret getting the Caddy at all. Handles and performs like a sports car and has 18 cuft. of trunk space! I have done a a/b comparison between the XTS and the CT6 in the showroom and I would still buy the XTS. The CT6 looks and feels like a bloated version of my car at a higher price point. I also feel that the XTS is the most beautiful Caddy since the '84 Sedan DeVille.

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!

Car is very stylish for a four door sedan. Ride height is low resulting in poor visibility. Pluses: safety features, great stereo sound except no CD, attractive interior, quiet window operation, handles like a smaller vehicle, easy to park. Negatives: ride comfort would be excellent if it weren’t for the noisy tires (Goodyear Eagle RS-A P245-45-R19). Owned seventeen vehicles and the tire noise is off the charts. Perfectly quiet on new asphalt but extremely noisey on concrete or composite surfaces. Actually sounds like you are riding on the rims on some streets. Instrumentation on lower trims does not compare to instrumentation on much lower price vehicles. Touch controls for radio, navigation and climate require two or three attempts just to change the volume or fan speed. Navigation is more difficult to operate and less accurate than navigation systems on Chrysler, Nissan, Ford. Really wanted to like this car, but didn’t research it enough. No longer have this vehicle.

I bought the XTS Premium model and luv it. I have had Mercedes, BMW and Jaguer and have fallen in luv with Cadillac. The ride, amenities and over all experience has been exceptional. I bough the car after I had bought the XT5 the week prior to replace my Mercedes GL350 and when I was looking at the SUV I decided to test drive the XTS as well. I could not get it out of my mind so went back a week later and bought it as well. I looked at the CTS6 as well but really liked the esthetics and the performance of the XTS much better. I had a CTS- V for a number of years but I can honestly say this XTS is the bomb diggity, Luxury , ride and amenities can not be beat. Years ago you could not get me to buy an American car but I am completely sold.
