Sporty and classy

Very sporty and classy. Give a two door coupe feel but with the convenience of having back seats and a pretty big trunk

I have now had my CLS for three years and it has been terrific. I love it and would certainly buy another, but there is no need because my current CLS is like new.

My CLS550 4Matic

I have waited many years to purchase this car I bought it used at 68K miles. I am in love with my car! The performance is outstanding. When I need the horsepower it’s there. Comfort like I’ve never had before. I look forward to driving it every time I have to go out. The only negative I can think of, is only having two back seats. But the only passengers I ever have are my granddaughters and they love it. The car looks like she’s moving fast when she’s sitting in the garage! Style and class on the inside. And performance on the outside. This car is the best I’ve ever owned.

Great Car

Great Car, only negative is that the back seats are a little hard to get into for an adult. The back end taper of the cars design makes for low headroom in the back seat. No problem for me, because I'm drivin'.

Deceptive advertising

Under key standard features it say hands free blue tooth interface. This is not the case. With even the upgrade number one you can not make voice command dialing. The hands free part is a joke. They expect you to spin knobs or scroll buttons on the wheel why you are driving which is not possible. Read the part under build your car, it really is a scam. My E class had the voice dialing in the number 1 upgrade. This car is 15,000 dollars more then the E class and does not have the standard features of my wife's new Malibu. Second issue even when you buy the M-Brace you can not get directions down loaded to your car. You had to buy upgrade number 2. There is no way for you to know that based on their web site. My last 4 Cadillac's this was standard stuff more then 10 years ago. Now that I got stuck with a car I do not find functional there is no way to change out the control head that offers this option at any cost. I have had the car for 2 years now; the sound system is marginal the sound is not very deep and it is not very loud if you like it that way. The navigation screen looks like it is glued to the dashboard and voice recognition for navigation use is terrible. Cadillac had a pause button on the radio and I miss that feature. The gas peddle can be a little hard to grab at times. My dealership promised valet support for service which they discontinued after I bought the car. The dealership is far away and that promised support was a reason for buying. For $80,000 there seems to be a lot more value in other cars. There is a new version coming out in the fall. If there is an early lease buy out I may consider it if not I will try another brand.
