I bought mine a year ago, a used fleet car with 27,000 miles. I have read some complaints about the CUE system and other controls, but I have had no problems figuring it out. I got the stock engine, but this beauty was built for comfort, not for speed. I've never had a car like this; there is not a single knob on the dashboard, which is very cool. Sure, you have to look for the button you want, but this should not take more than one second. I plan on driving this car when I move cross country with a German Shepherd and a parrot, and we will all be very comfortable. I agree that the stock tires are too low-quality for a vehicle of this caliber, but that's easy to fix. There are a lot of nice touches inside; one of my favorites is the ambient lighting at night. I also bought some cool accessories like floor mats with the shield emblem, and lights that display the Cadillac logo on the ground when the door is opened. I am a 60 year old retired computer programmer and if this is my midlife crisis, at least I'm doing it in style. The biggest shame is that Cadillac is discontinuing all sedans, abandoning the very thing that made the brand great.

So, rented this Caddy over thanksgiving weekend (no other cars available on elite aisle). Car rental treated like it was a Bentley, its not. Ok, good looks, nice interior. It ends there. This unit had 416 miles upon pickup, I put 2000 additional miles on it. Fuel mpg 23 or better, engine performance, not. The engine was disconnected as was transmission,when forced to work it would, multiple times non responsive at worst times, stutter, no response dangerous. CUE IS A NIGHTMARE! All technology in this car is a nightmare. even power seats are stupid, memory settings require you to hold the button until preferences are restored. Example, you have a seat exit programed, it runs, now you want the seat and etall back to your programmed settings, hold the #1 button for 30 seconds. HORRID. Interior nice finishes, no storage, no outlets, stupid powered dash panel to hide a 90s flip phone with an inaccessible USB jack. WOW. Im gonna stop here this car sucks.
