So Close!!!

The car overall is very good. Great power to weight ratio, and extremely comfortable. It is a good buy for the value considering you are already in the premium Cadillac price range. However there are a few things that are VERY frustrating about this car, and will hopefully be fixed in future design years: 1. The gear shift knob is infuriating! The side button that must be pressed to change gears (like from P to D) is not ergonomically designed at all, in fact it is downright uncomfortable to have to press. Every person that has driven my car has commented the same. Put it at my fingertips on the knob vice my thumb and all is better. 2. If I put the car into sport mode, I want it to stay in sport mode when I get back into the car after turning it off, or at the very least default to AWD vice just to the worst FWD option. I hate having to press the button every time I get into the car. 3. Let me pick the color of the center console highest-end Cue display. Everyone else in the class does this, why doesn't Cadillac? I have an astigmatism and the default-blue is literally blinding at night. 4. Find a better cell phone storage option. Having it at the front of the arm rest is cumbersome and poorly designed. yeah sure I can charge my phone as it sits there, but (since i have an iPhone), if I need to access my phone at all, I need to either unplug it, or open the arm rest to reel in the cord. 5. If I have the heated steering wheel turned on when I turn the car off, the safe bet is that I want it turning back on when I start the car remotely later on that day. This is a first world problem for sure, but it seems so simple. Fix these things and you will have an amazing car instead of just a very good one!!!

The Hennessey Cadillac Experience

This correspondence details the premier experience by David Bush and Ryan of Hennessey Cadillac. Everyone was instrumental in our purchase. First, David Bush is a lead in representing the Cadillac premier brand and service expectation by exemplifying professionalism and effective communication throughout the entire process. From the initial contact, Mr. David Bush worked diligently to find the car with requested color and package we desired. He worked with his team to ensure all of our needs were addressed and accommodated by finding the perfect car from the Hennessey inventory. He walked us through every step of the process with patience and kindness. David should be considered a TOP Tier Sales Consultant for the area. For example, the uniformed Cadillac attire of the dealership, the distinct specialized support, and a knowledgeable consultant who knew every car in the inventory with complete ease were a few areas that stood out for me as a consumer. He was keen on the features and provided a full-tutorial of our vehicle, gave us a complementary tour of the entire dealership (where we met lead management who were very courteous), set-up our MyCadillac phone app and OnStar Welcome Call. The entire team were model Cadillac representatives with David using a Cad-I-pad Tablet and customizing our experience. Additionally, Ryan McIver was instrumental and detailed in our paperwork and professionally answered any questions/concerns during the finalization process. Wholeheartedly, David Bush, Ryan McIver, & The Hennessey Cadillac Team are recognizable for quality delivery and tailored world-class experience in our family purchase of the XT5 Cadillac Crossover and will be highly recommended. HENNESSEY CADILLAC for LIFE!!!!

Beautiful, comfortable, nice..almost

I Love the car. Only dislikes are the auto engine shut off feature at every stop sign, and the strange gear shift pattern.
