        Geat car where it matters CT5-Premium Luxury 4T

        by Ed3463 on 4/24/2023 1:49:44 PM

        1. comfort is superb. lots of room, and great seats. good legroom in rear. love the open pore wood and leather 2. utility is OK - trunk a bit small but enough for the 2 of us. fold down rear seats make it easier to load larger items. 3. Drive is more than enough for me - and probably for most people. 4 cyl turbo provides power when needed and is miserly on gas. suspension a bit soft, but a welcome improvement from overly harsh CTS this car replaces. Overall good handling. 4. value for money cannot be beat. much less expensive than most other makes - I don't feel like I paid a premium for the logo. 5. reliability. Bought in Aug 2022. No issues in first 9 months. Cadillac service is great - dealer picks up the car and returns it. 6. Sound system is magnificent. Best ever!! 7. cons: a) I like my car paint to be close to the colour of dried slush. not available on this model. b) I would like more adjustments available re suspension. c) trunk size d) massage seats not available on 4cyl. also could not option the sedona leather. (Do massages require more power) 8. Final comment - FWIW: I read lots of car reviews. Most, IMHO are written by wannabe race drivers and folks who have unrealistic expectations. On a value-for-money scale this car cannot be beat in the lux segment.…
