My Cadillac XT5 is the best!!

I am so happy with the purchase of this vehicle. I have the premium luxury model and my wife loves, my kids love it, and it the nicest car we have ever owned. Terrific handling and visibility especially during bad weather and at night. It deals the Midwest 4 seasons extremely well. It is a lot more sporty than you might think especially when you kick the transmission into manual or sport mode. Lots of tech features, OnStar, Apple Car play, remote start through phone and 4G wifi. More than enough to keep a technie like me interested. Very luxurious and spacious interior. Very quiet and smooth ride. Super smooth. The start/stop engine and gas mileage would be the only negatives. I looked at all the luxury SUVs and this one had the best styling, interior, handling, and technology features of them all. The styling brings something to it that is uniquely American. I think all the foreign cars are starting to look a little bland. Cadillac sets itself apart although Jaguar F-pace styling is hot. I was very disappoined with the interior of the F-pace. Give this vehicle a serious look if you are in the luxury SUV market.

Never Thought An SUV Could Be So Comfortable

This is my first experience with an SUV. Despite the fact that it sits higher than a regular car, it is comfortable, offers a smooth ride and has a cool look. If there is one problem, it is the fact that everything is controlled by digital kinds of buttons and there is too much to remember. Otherwise, the car is excellent.

Most luxurious car we have owned.

This car meets all of the needs we have as a family. It is big enough to take our family on trips yet small enough to maneuver easily in city traffic. We love this car.

High styling, High Quality

A very impressive piece of American Machinery. Extremely refined in both appearance and engineering. A fine example of the new Cadillac line. As a long term Range Rover owner, I found comparable styling and performance at a much more competitive price. Since owning the car, no disappointments. A fine driving machine and great value.

homerun by cadillac after srx

excellent car - very good idea replacing the transmission with a 8-speed. Needs also to have an option to run on a 2.0T.

Overall a great choice

Love the style, ride, roominess, performance etc. my only complaint is with the CUE System. I find it distracts me from driving do perform simple functions. At least in this version they provided real Buttons to control ventilation fan and temp.

Pleasure to drive, excellent performance, stylish

First ever Cadillac, a XT5...truly couldn't be happier with a vehicle. Love so many of the features, the performance is super, exceptional handling, very comfortable and the ride is a joy. The most remarkable is the fuel mileage. I'm not a hard driver, thus that adds to the fuel economy. We live in ND, extreme cold temps, limited hot weather and it's the cold weather driving that surprises me with the mpg! Lastly, the styling really stands out in my opinion. Keep up the good work GM!

Most stylist car I ever owned

This car is a luxury with lots of leg room for a tall guy. It has excellent controls and display, great speakers and beautiful design. The comfort of heating and leather seats is unsurpassed. It is a beauty to be appreciated.

Worst car I have ever owned.

Had SRX and loved it. XT5 is altogether different. Not at all comfortable. Rides like a truck. Lousy gas mileage. Much less standard equipment.
