Solid, Dependable Car

This car has been a pleasure to own for the short while i've driven it. Nothing went wrong, just needed basic maintenance and runs like a dream. Worth a lot more than the listing prices, bargain.

The battery died a block after the dealer

A purchase I never regretted

Owned for 6.5 years and very very happy with it. Changed my view and understanding of owning a Caddy... at least until I tried to buy one from Central Cadillac. But that's another story- stay away from Central Cad. Only repairs I had was motor mounts (under warranty) and the battery cable at 95k miles. Sitting at 105k and still going strong.

Agility with comfort

The vehicle is nice, and comfortable. It met my needs when I needed to travel through the city traffic.

My 3rd one

I have owned a 2005, 2007 and a 2011. I love the xxx. I wish that they updated it and kept it alive. The XTS is NOT a replacement for this. This car is American luxury not German luxury. I test drove an XTS and didn't like it. I said to the salesman this doesn't feel like a Caddy. He said it isn't suppose to. It should feel like a Benz or a BMW. I said to him too bad, if I wanted a Benz or a BMW I would buy one. I want a Caddy and you don't have one. So I didn't buy it. This was the last of what Caddy was famous for. Out with the old and in with the new.

Nothing better than a Cadillac!

Except for being a V-6, it's a great car. Next vehicle will be a V-8. Miss my 26 years of owning Eldorados.

Second rate luxury car

After many years of owning a Mercedes Benz E class, i decided to have a change, and buy a Cadillac xxx. On first impressions it is quite nice, with lots of 'stuff". After a while the relatively cheap plasticky interior and the endless GM stupidities like DRL defaulting to ON, the constantly appearing lawyer screen on the GPS, the GPS screen that is unreadable if the sunroof is open, and has unintelligible symbols, etc begin to really irritate. My local Cadillac dealer service is just awful. All I can say is that if you are considering this half-baked car, try a Mercedes first.

Great Car Highly Recommend

Great Car Highly Recommend. Cadillac service has been great and the AWD helps a lot in the snow. Car has every bell and whistle you could want or need. If you can get a clean low mileage one don't wait.
