Positive Review

"Best in Class! Must buy!"

First let me say, I own a MB C300 and have owned a Lexus IS, and BMW 5 Series. Previously I would have NEVER considered this car. I researched the BMW 1's &3's, Audi A4, and MB C300 and found this car to offer more for the money. Finally Cadillac has what I believe a car to be superior to those above. I'm still not a fan of the hard angle exterior, but the interior treatments match and IMO are better than the competition. I believe you will find the same things I found. I purchased the entry level model as it is for my wife's commute. I would have purchased the Luxury line, but she was satisfied with the entry level and the price was right. The base engine is sufficient, but not impressive. I'd recommend you test drive the turbo and decide for yourself. We both love the car and it is expected to hold its value to match the imports. T me, this purchase is a no brainer and as someone who has owned nearly every German made vehicle, this one has me sold

Critical Review

"I would not trade in to lease this car again"

Many recalls for service, and don't run well after last recall for spark plugs to be changed. Seems as if timing is off. Over all Q-system is great, but would not lease again.

Pros

Acceleration, Comfort, Realiability

Cons

Cue System, Stiff Suspension

Pros

4 cylinder fast great ride

Cons

No room in trunk or back seat. Transmission faulty

I bought a 2015 with 21000 miles as soon as I got it I noticed the transmission shudder. They flushed it, the shudder went away for 3000 miles then came back worse then before. The previous owner drove it for 20,000 miles damaging the torque converter and transmission. All of these cars have low miles for being 8 years old because the previous owners refused or couldn't stand to drive a car that transmission shudders every time it heats up. So when you see one that looks like it's too good to be true with these cars it 100 percent is

No problems at 98000
Pros

Very good handeling and brakes and very fast

Cons

little noisy and small back seat and trunk.

This Car is just as fast as my 69 GTO. but more fun to drive and more comfortable. 2 litre four cylinder turbo and all wheel drive. could not get stuck in the winter snow up here. This car has given me no problems other than normal maintenance. Tires Oil changes and brakes. Original brakes made it to 90K at which time the rear rotors were shot. Front rotors still OK. the car gets about 32 to 35 on the highway and about 25 around town. the autostart feature is annoying at times. but is easily defeated. MY wife and I share the car and the seats and mirrors automatically adjust depending on whose Key fob is closest to drivers seat. Best newer car I have ever owned
