Problems within days of purchase

Just bought this a month ago. Car is beautiful inside and out but seems Cadillac fell short on mechanical quality. Already have found it is leaking oil by timing belt cover and it is idling very rough at startup and at lights. Both seem to be known issues that Cadillac covered for customers under warranty but good luck if you are just over like this one since they failed to issue needed recalls for the oil leak from the cover and motor mounts that cause shake.

Fun Car to drive

Its a Cadillac. The performance, appearance and dependability are second to none. The car handles like a champ, and the sport mode is a great addition. The winter/ice mode is helpful during the colder months, when more stability and control are needed.

Love the ease of getting around town in this car.

I really like the 2.0 Turbo in this car. I'm very comfortable driving it and riding in it even for long drives. Not much room in the back seat except for kids in car seats, but that's okay for my purposes. Very reliable car. Happy to keep it for another year or 2.

Looks better than it really is.

Sexy looking car. The Cue system is a nightmare. Mine broke at 37,000 miles and it would have cost $1500 to fix it if I hadn't found a complaint website where GM acknowledged the problem and in turn had the car fixed for free. It is a known problem in all Cadillac's around this year. Now that it is fixed, I am selling it. Test drive a German car and you will never consider a GM product again.

Amazing performance!

This car met or exceeded all my expectations. The handling, balance, & options were just what I was hoping for. The cars appearance exceeded my expectations, based on the website photos.

Has been the best that I have owned.

I love the styling and the overall interior. A great performer and plenty of power. The handling is great and the cue system is a great asset.

So modern and smooth driving!

I love my Cadillac! It is by far the smoothest driving car I have ever owned. And the technology in it is so modern! The seats are comfortable as well!

Excellent value for entry-level luxury sedan

The only knock on this vehicle is rear cabin and trunk space. Other than that it knocks it out of the park. 2.0T pckg has plenty of zip. It handles like a dream, steering/brakes silky smooth. Interior is sporty and accented elegantly. I haven?t experienced the woes of the CUE infotainment system; personally I like it so far (owner for just over a month). I recommend testing these babies within the 3/5series, A4, Q80 field.
