Nice car trans shifting rough

By James Fraser written on 07-23-2016

Complex cue system, maybe need. Cd tutorial for visual learners, engine designed to stop when brakes applied to stop. Explanation of no spare tire! Passenger door hard to close due to handles too far forward. Transmission seems to shift hard at times, has refused to change when accelerating hard into traffic

Not what a Cadillac should be

By Bill Reese written on 03-06-2016

We drove the 4 cylinder with turbo. The whole time there was a high pitched whine. The engine noise was extremely loud. THe vehicle had a great instrument package except that it was not working. This was a brand new car. The interior was very cramped. The selectable ride was not working probably the same reason the instruments were not working. Overall we were not thrilled. The price was in the 50 k range so it was average for what we were looking at. But definitely was not what we were expecting as far as value and comfort.

Car is really nice but suspension?

By Greg written on 06-23-2017

I have 14,500 miles on this car. Excellent engine performance, braking & handling. I do like it except for 1 serious fault. The suspension is shockingly harsh, especially the front. When going over bumps like highway milled to paved surfaces the transition patches/ramps can't be absorbed smoothly unless I slow to 60 mph. At 70 mph it is so loud and jarring it feels like it bottoms out so hard it is alarming. I'm afraid a wheel will break. On a highway followers don't expect you to slow from 70-75 to 60 to navigate these bumps but I can't stand the shock. Any bump or hole with an acute transition angle will jar your teeth and attention. This is in Touring Mode where you'd expect a softer ride. It has Pirelli all season P Zero Nero run flats P245/40 R18 93V tires on stock Turbo wheels and pressures are maintained properly. I will finally ask the dealership what's up and take a stock CTS for a ride to see what difference exists. Some say it's the run flats but the jarring just seems too extreme for that to be the reason. After all they aren't solid rubber. Finally, my daughter bought a 2017 Mazda CX-5 and has all the active features, warnings, etc. including active cruise for $34k. Seems odd I don't have active cruise for the $56K it listed for. I could have optioned up but it wasn't worth it. The car has lots of nice features and CUE is easy enough to understand and the Apple Car Play is great. Engine Stop is annoying but at least it can be turned off just not permanently. I gave it 4 stars overall but consider it 3.5 stars unless I can solve the Harshness. If I do I'll be back to update.
