I recently got a 2015 XTS V Sport. I love everything about it but the interior has a weird smell that is something like crayons.

Any similar experiences or recommended fixes?

So I’m about to buy this 2020 CT5 550T Premium Luxury and I just want to know if I’m getting a good deal? The car was originally from Florida sold for 41k at 20k miles. Im in Michigan and it’s only experienced one winter here and got purchased in July 2025 and had 33k miles put on it. The car currently sits at 63k miles and the seller reached a deal with me at $27,500. I feel like it’s kind of steep but the car comes from two owners, clean title, 130k mile powertrain, transmission, and bumper to bumper warranty, aftermarket wheels, catback straight pipe, and a JB4 tune. Am I getting a good deal?

Cadillac, a strategic partner of Esso. This represents the limit of the instrument cluster, not the limit of the car itself.

Hi, I have a 2016 Cadillac CTS and my cue screen is unresponsive. Is it possible to use manual buttons to pair a phone via Bluetooth with an unresponsive touchscreen?

I am thinking that the next gen blackwing might be my next car in a few years if the stars align. Unfortunately it's so expensive and I have plenty car right now that Id have to wait a few years to save up for one, but if and when they announce a new one in 2027, I might be looking at trading in my Camaro and ordering a new blackwing. I know theyve only announced that it will have an ice engine but nothing else. There are rumors about it having the new 6.7 liter v8 and a manual but nothing is confirmed. Anybody holding out for something similar? Part of me is also skeptical that they will continue to pump out cars with manuals in 2027 since everyone is going EV, but I am hopeful that GM continues to appeal to enthusiasts. Id buy it now but I just cant justify straining myself financially quite yet. If I end up not liking the new ct5V blackwing for any reason I might consider buying a used one instead, hopefully with low miles. Its a bummer that it takes years of budgeting to be able to afford some of these expensive luxury sports cars, but by the time I can afford it, they may not even be producing them anymore 😭

I cudda had a V.

On August 2025 I drove off the Ford lot with a 6K miles Mach-E GT for $41K out the door which was a steal. I caught them on the last day of the quarter. I had been looking to get one for a couple months.

At first I enjoyed doing 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. At about the 1 years mark I came to realize going 0-60 in an EV is just look eating empty calories. I felt the acceleration but I didn't feel anything else. So I decided to sell it to Carvana. Carvana gave me $38K. That's when it hit the me. I saw a base type CTS Coupe and decided to add it to the deal. Carvana kicked in an extra grand for selling them a car and subsequently buying a car.

Since 2011 I have wanted a CTS Coupe but I completely forgot about it. Had I remembered the CTS Coupe I would never have bought the Mach-E.

I knew that I would exercise my 7 day return to Carvana because I wanted a Premium. So I had Carvana pick up the base type model.

I found this 40K miles Premium for $17K.

If I had thought about a CTS Coupe in August 25,since my funds were better, I cudda had a V.

It was baby blue with a blue leather interior.

Super nice car and I loved driving it. But was old and falling apart and I was 19 with no money to fix it so I had to trade it in.

I hope it wasn't scrapped, and that someone bought it and restored it.

I loved that car.

Don’t care that much it’s just the car is 4 doors and meant to be daily driven. I’d like to drive it more than too the gas station 220+ a tank is what I’m looking for.

My mom has a 2016 jeep patriot that I want to trade in to get her an SRX. I've read the 16 model is the best as the quirks were worked out albeit having dim head lights, a infotainment system that's questionable, and sun roof leaks caused by blocked drains. Any other things I should be wary about? Does it sound like a good upgrade for an elderly woman? I dispise jeep because if their quality and already have an 13 Escalade I love just wanna add to the caddy family.

Going to check out this 2003 Escalade tomorrow. I have owned a Chevy's and a few Gmc's but have never looked at a Cadillac. Opinions on the price and what to look for?

I want to switch to tires for more cushion. I'm currently on the stock staggered setup:

Front: 225/40R18

Rear: 255/35R18

Dealerships say I can use other sizes (nothing specific) but they only carry stock.

AI says I can move up to 2 different options.

Front: 235/40R18

Rear: 265/35R18

Or

Front: 225/45R18

Rear: 255/40R18

What do real owners/drivers say?

Question for everybody here:

I bought a 2023 CT5 AWD last week and all was fine for the first few days. Starting yesterday I've been experiencing hard downshifts specifically when accelerating lightly between 7 and 6. I have been able to fully replicate it. It does not happen when not accelerating. The jerk is also worse or better depending on how much I'm accelerating when it downshifts. It can be anywhere from a light bump to a hard jerk.

Any ideas beyond the obvious? I am taking it to CarMax tomorrow morning to have them look at it again.

Ive had her for about 3 years now its time to let her go .

2011 Cadillac cts 3.6L Performance Edition

200k miles

Clean title

Tags till next year

Oil changes every 3.5k miles

No major mechanical issues

Does have cosmetic issues such as ripped center console ripped seats but other that runs great.

My question is What would be good price to sell it at? I dont want to lowball myself but I also know its not the best car out there. I was thinking $2.5K OBO

Hey, I'm going to look at a couple manual ATS's this weekend. I was wondering if there is anything I should be on the look for. What are some of the known issues to be on the look for? I am from Ontario so I'll be on the look for rust and rot as per usual.

The first car is a 2017 with 89k kms and the other is a 2013 with 130k kms. From the pictures they both look decent enough. Didn't see any rust or dents.

Also the CUE system Cadillacs have, what are the issues?

I’ve had the 14’ for about 7 months now and I just picked up the 11’ 6 days ago to replace the 14’ as the daily.

Absolutely in love with the coupe and prefer to drive it more over the 14’. Of course I’m still very young so I enjoy the race car/ performance feel paired with luxury, over the business executive luxury feel.

However when I need to go out to eat, come to an event, or I want to wear something formal… the sedan compliments that perfectly. First time having 2 cars registered and insured at one time so it’s been fun.

2018 , XTS Luxury , 164,778 miles , NC reconstructed title , ( quarter panel repair poor RR / Fender aftermarket poor fit LF ) air bag light is on , I have all new airbag sensors for the car , haven’t got it on a lift to do them . GM crate engine 121,000 , transmission rebuild at 131,000 , mint interior that had slip covers from new until this week , new Genuine GM Cue screen , all AC components , heater core , dash servos , replaced the winter of 2021, zero mile Goodyear Eagles , GM Tire pressure sensors , GM wheel weights , I have driven this car all over the USA since 2021 .

From a reliability standpoint, how bad are the 6.2's really? Reading online would have one question why they still even sell them.

I'm debating between the 6.2 and the diesel for a 2021+ Escalade ESV. There are far more of the V8's available (albiet higher mileage), but only one diesel within 75 miles of me (142k+ miles on it). Do I take the gamble on the V8 or go with the diesel?

Need som thoughts and opinions on this car interior looks really clean and outside of the car dose to is this worth it ? I’m located in Canada
