X marks the spot

Switched from a BMW 5 Series to the Cadillac XTS. It is far superior than the BMW and Jaguar XJ previously owned. Both of those foreign extractions were money pits. I purchased the X with 66,000 miles on it and have not experienced the failures other reviewers have lamented so I question the authenticity of their review. The XTS is, in my opinion, one of the most alluring cars on the road today, 2023. It has great presence and commands attention. By far the best car I have ever owned and its reliability has not disappointed. The Platinum trim interior is exquisite. It did, afterall, win Ward's 10 Best (automotive) Interiors of 2013. Definitely a keeper. Get one.

Beautiful

Beauty. Every time I go out I get someone admiring my car! It’s just lovely. I bought this off the end of a two year lease. It’s still like new inside

Only with a great warranty.

I Purchased mine 4 years ago used with 42k on it and as a 1 owner. The reviews you read about reliability are true. A warranty is an absolute must have. My warranty has paid out more than 28K. Including Magnetic shocks, transmission, Cue info system, and much more. Only 3K from my pocket. I have been repair free for over a year. Having owned over 30 cars I will say it is a fun car to drive and is my favorite car I have ever owned with a warranty.

Cadillac xts money pit

This car is the worst Cadillac I have ever owned. The car has a new problem every week. Shocks going out, rough ride, Cue system lockup....too many more to mention. Stay away from this car unless you have money to burn!

Worst reliable car I have ever owned.

Worst reliable car I have ever owned. I owned this vehicle 1.5 years and put 49,000 miles on it. It broke down and left me stranded 8 times. Each repair took from two days up to two weeks.

2015 XTS Vsport Platinum

This car has been far more reliable and fun to drive then my previous BMW 5 series. No issues to speak just routine maintenance currently sitting at 85k mileage. Handling is very good for a big sedan and the acceleration of the twin turbo 6 is amazing even when carrying a car full of passengers. All the sensors working as the should. The car has prevented at least two rear collisions by stopping on it own. Interior styling is nice with ambient lighting.

2014 Cadillac XTS (bought in 2016 with 7,000 mile)

I wouldn't advise buying this car without at least a 2year bumper to bumper or 50,000 mile warranty, I brought mine in 2016 with 7,000 miles excellent condition today I have 45000 miles and its still in excellent condition of course I had problems ,cue system, rear shocks or whatever they r called, lucky they were covered. when the warranty ran out last year I purchased a aftermarket one. I really like this car and I hope to keep it for a couple more years. A couple of my friends have XTS's also and there's are newer and had the same problems. so far I think im lucky and also I take very good care of mine. would I buy a newer one? MAYBE

Great engine, poorlest technology voice recognitio

It has a great engine, especially the V4 I have. The cue system for Bluetooth, voice recognition, is the worst in the market. It never worked correctly, I took it to the 3 different dealers when I bought it and call Manufacturer 2 times, nobody was able to make it work properly, until I realized I got a bad piece of car. Now, 5 years later and with 30k miles, the voice recognition does not work at all anymore, it does not start up. Three days in a dealer, $100, and after they contacted manufacturer, nobody was able to identify and solve the problem.
