2020 Cadillac CT5-V consumer reviews

The car is not a bad car but not what you expect from Cadillac. Mine was a V and had the six cylinder 340 horsepower engine. No comparison to the former V models but they are lower priced.

Within 5 days of taking delivery of the car, the electric power steering needed to be replaced....twice. The first replacement EPS unit sent out by GM was defective, so they needed to send out another one. That fixed the steering issue, but now the suspension makes a terrible noise. Either the tech botched the installation, or this is another new issue. Some body panels, mostly the doors, are aligned pretty poorly, and don't line up well. QA for that must be blind, drunk, or non-existent. Not as bad as Tesla, though. When the car is functioning though, the ride is a dream. Magnetic Ride Control is incredible, in that it provides a supple ride, but can adjust to keep the car flat in corners immediately. I wouldn't want a car without it. The car seems fairly quiet, except for road noise caused by the standard run-flat tires. This has the potential to be a great car if the quality issues can be worked out. I think this is another example of GM not being able to get out of their own way.

I traded my 2018 CT6 3.0 TT Platinum for this car. Now I check on Kelly's Blue Book and my CT6 is worth more than the CT5. If I had it to do over I would not have traded. I liked the color so well (Velocity Red) is why I bought it. My CT6 was black. Wish I had it back.

I would like to start with the quote: "This is not a real V" (Has a 3.0L V6 Twin turbo engine and not the corvette V8 6.2 compressor) But, don't let that fools you. 0-62mph comes in less than 4 sec which is insane for the 360hp that Cadillac claims. I own the CT5-V for over 4 months now. This car is one of the best looking sedans that you can buy. It's also comes in all wheel drive which is a great option especially if you live in New York city. The interior is excellent! No cheap plastic, no creaks and the 10" infotainment system has no lag and simply is one of the best in the market. The size of the vehicle is similar with the BMW 5 series and not with the 3 series. The leg room for the rear passengers is great even for a 6' person. Just take that car for a test drive and you will be amazed.

This vehicle is really nice i would love to own it it ride really good i love this car i would tell anybody to buy it
