    Cadillac got this one right...

    I bought this car in July 2020 w/30M...it was a rental rocket in EXCELLENT condition...tires were 8/32 so had recently been replaced before I purchased...the only repairs I've needed to do were both common with the XTS - had to replace that worthless CUE system because it froze and wouldn't respond to the DIY reset...also had spider web in the glass, another common defect...had leaks in the rear shocks, another known issue with the XTS...other than those 2 things this car has been amazing...the best Cadillac I've owned and this is my 12th one...I've been driving Cadillacs most of my adult life and this by far the best one, to the point I don't even mind having to replace the 2 items I mentioned...currently have 67M and only had to change the oil and rotate the tires

    I love this car and would definitely buy it again.

    I have owned many Luxury vehicles over the years with several of the beings Cadillacs and this one sits near the top. I bought this one owner car for my wife a few months ago with 33,000 miles on it and it's like brand new. The quality of materials is top notch and the fit and finish is second to none. The only thing I would like is a little better acceleration from dead stop. I love this car!

    Might as well be behind a Boeing 747

    Over the last 30 years I have owned several Cadillacs, Lincoln’s, and Lexus—my 2017 XTS Cadillac is, without doubt, the worst of all these vehicles I have owned—I have never had a vehicle that makes so much road noise —my pickup truck is quieter!—the Cadillac is so noisy at 60 mph that you can not hear the radio—I believe a motorcycle would be quieter!—for a car in this price range I will totally not recommend this Cadillac

    Terrible vehicle, has been nothing but issue after issue. From airbag replacements to transmission problems . Was without the car for 2 months, and still waiting on parts to this day. Terrible vehicle, terrible dealership, and terrible service department.

    Very disappointed in this car! I've owned cadillacs for many, many years and this is absolutely the worst one. Very disappointed in the whole experience from dealership service staff to the reliability of the vehicle. This new purchase is probably the worst decision I've ever made!
