    After 15 years, I still love this vehicle

    It is roomy with great cargo space. I refuse to trade it even though it is expensive to repair. I am very sad that this design was discontinued.

    Hate this car

    Nothing but problems. Costly repairs. 155k miles and Ive replaced the shocks brake lines, coils, catalytic converters and now the head or gasket is blown. They are not worth a cent!

    Surprisingly powerful v6, sports-like handling, +

    I never knew that Cadillac put as much into this Crossover SUV as they did. It's an extremely Luxurious, High Performance, Dependable, EXTREME MACHINE. The ONLY problem that I have with it is the fact that the interior swallows loose change (and other small items). There is probably over a hundred dollars in change in my vehicle that I may never be able to recover; however, it makes up for that in many ways (and you have to give to receive). Essentially, it's an overall brilliantly designed machine.

    Best First Car

    This was my very first car and I have loved every second of owning it. I am very tall and this vehicle is so spacious and has everything I have ever needed in a vehicle. Its sleek and stylish yet can still take on any kind of terrain. The XL moon roof that extends to the backseat is one of my favorite features. The trunk is enormous and has helped me on many occasions between moves. Absolutely cannot go wrong with owning this car.
