The reason MB and BMW lose a lot of value is after the warranty expires, maintenance and repair costs are way above average. The exception would be MB AMG and BMW M. The best way to drive an MB or BMW is to lease one and then dump it when warranty expires. Ditto for Porsche Cayenne and Macan. The 911 holds its value better, especially specialty 911s.
@@michaelpasold5083 Yes, I had that option but they're only good for a max of 50 miles. The tire is not fixable after that and I was told the tires were impossible to find. Things may have changed since I bought mine, but I couldn't go on a trip and be stuck for a few weeks.
Nice that Cadillac offers alternative to German sport sedans at an attractive price since Lincoln doesn't compete in that segment and the Chrysler 300 is ending.
The only difference between the standard 3.0tt and the V 3.0tt is 25 extra hp. It would be nice if GM offered a factory tune to 400hp and 450ft lbs of torque.
Too bad they never did anything with the rims as opposed to the Camaro SS 1LE where you get muscular deep muscle car looking rims hence the reason I went with it and the sparse interior is a nice change from the CT4 I previously owned.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee they should’ve put them at the bottom of the wheel. I find them a little distracting especially when super cruise’s active green light.
Goodness i really dislike red 😂. I generally find white black red and blue on cars to be massive buzz kills, unless its a reallly well done pearl or iridescent white (similar 2 the galaxy color on the blazer ev)
Problem is, if you look at any other car in this price range, the statistics for their performance/reliability/rating, whatever are just much better than this car. The engine and styling is not worth $71k. This car should be about $40k-$50k max. Then it would be a good price. The interiors in caddies the last dozen years or so have been horrendous and every year is rated terribly. Their performance has also been rated lower than similar engines.
Yeah man, I´d like a lot this car, it´s awesome, I want to say to everyone that sometimes I´m feel frustrated because I can´t to reach my goals in this life, sometimes I don´t know the reason, anyway good luck for you and everyone.
You know, you can always find a good used example that is so much more affordable. For example, I listed for a Porsche Boxster. A new one at the time was in $60,000 range. So I bought a used one for $15,000 and enjoyed it for 6 years and sold it for $13,000.
The problem with German luxury vehicles is maintenance costs after warranty. Also horrific depreciation.
no luxury car holds there value
absolutely
@@HSCxBeast V cars hold their value better than most luxury cars.
@@AugustusMcMillan I mean depends on the market. the market is like stocks

Love my 22023 CT5. Just wish it had a spare tire. I may just compromise the trunk space for a tire and jack.
Mine has run flat tires so I don't need a spare

Love it. Just wish it was a bit faster or able to mod it at the least.

If you want more power, then buy the Blackwing. That blows away anything that European cars have to offer at a better price.
i like the rear end on her
Sheesh she’s such a beaut
If you could live without a few of the pricey options, you might have a real bargain.
The 2025 will be quite the upgrade with the new interior/gauge cluster.
Was there heated rear seats?
Thank you Ben for another GM review. .
This car should have a 3.6L with a manual 6 speed as the little brother to the V8. Sales would have been through the roof. C'mon Cadillac!!!!!!
Lol I wouldn't buy a 3.6. Harder to work on then a ls and junk. Cost u more in the long run and it qould definitely never resale worth a crap
Can we bring back the cts

Only 70k, not bad. Any BMW M5 or E63 would be so much more.
This doesn't compete with the M5 or E63. The ct5 Black wing competes with those.
70k isn't bad and it's not even the blackwing? Lol that's HORRIBLE
These gap any German in this price segment any day. It’s a beautiful car only enthusiasts know of.
@@jp23x Right. NO way this worth that kind of coin.
@@awaisakram8573 What? This car is so cheap inside and out and vastly overpriced.
Those steering wheel lights for the super cruise need to go.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee they should’ve put them at the bottom of the wheel. I find them a little distracting especially when super cruise’s active green light.
I'm assuming the ones flickering are IR and aren't visible, but I agree, the green light all the time is a little much.
My 2010 rt makes 380 hp. 380 horsepower was last decades numbers were over 4 now in some 4 cylinders
Sadly only the RWD version offers the magnetic ride suspension.
I wouldn't buy a CT5 now bc the 2025 model will get a new interior.
Magnetic ride control is standard on the CT5-V. The CT4-V only offers it in RWD.
9:27 is the Taycan gran turismo
Yeah it's nice. It should be for $71K.
Those red seatbelts look like shit

What else is this engine in??? How does it have track record for proven reliability? Beautiful car but skeptical to buy for the long term

That’s a Honda accord with Acura motor 😂
Самый уродливый Кадиллак за всю марку истории. Позор инженерам и дизайнерам.
