My wife and I conducted our own market survey of both foreign and domestic Premium Crossovers SUV's. We concluded that the Cadillac XT5 Platinum was clearly for us. We bought the Cadillac XT5 Platinum, 14 speaker BOSE Sound system is second-to-none, and we're amazingly satisfied.
Just wait until it breaks, then you and your wife can print out that "market survey" and wipe your fucking asses with it. I swear, a bunch of gm engineers posing as customers all over these vids. Unfuckingbelievable.
Just leased one of these. Best mountain car I have ever owned. Quiet, great handling and power. Cabin is comfortable and love apple carplay. Lotta praise from total strangers . Lotta room and fun to drive.
Anthony Rocher yes $2500, but I had a GM credit card which gave me that. 5% return, I highly recommend getting that new GM visa. No cap on using points either.
This thing, like most GM vehicles, have parts from all over. Canada, Vietnam, China, Mexico. Look up the 10 most American cars made. It's based on where the parts are made, designed, and assembled. If I remember right, a Toyota is the most American car these days. Crazy...
I just bought the Premium Luxury and I love it. No problem with the shifter either. Love the interior...clean. Mine is white with the beige interior..georgeous.
This thing accelerated as gently or aggressively as you push the gas pedal. He missed the mark on that. I think it’s perfectly fine and comfortable to drive. The blind spots are real though
This guy is way off, drove several imports, which are overpriced, overrated, and he buys into it....sad....Caddy also gives more bang for your buck!! Far more beautiful to look at then it's competitors.
Def More appealing to the eyes, hey that important!! Imports are nice inside, plain out! Except the infiniti 2017 qx30 in liquid copper but the roof doesnt open!!!
Still driving the pile? Had to replace a $1,000 headlight yet? Did the reluctor wheel in the M5U transmission brake yet? Because it will. It's only a matter of time.
This is the worst review I have seen for the XT5. This reviewer didn't read the manual. Apparently the only thing he could adjust was the mirror! Check other reviewers for this vehicle.
To me average height is 5'-9" in Sweden it is 6'-3" ... why don't u tell us how tall you are .... what are the front and rear leg rooms are from GM spec sheets.... good video ... better than most.... but leg dims and volume for storage should be an automatic research on future episodes.
I am 6'-6" and I have plenty of legroom on the driver side as well as the passenger behind me has alot of legroom too because the seats in the back slide :)
the black molding around the bottom makes it look cheap, I know why they do it but it makes it look like something Chevy should be selling not Cadillac.
I disagree, i leased it and while the infotainment wasn't intuitive, its very comfortable inside and silent. I felt it was kinda unpowered but it still could corner great. I'd recommend as a lease option, wouldn't recommend for someone to buy though
I wonder who paid this guy off to give us such a poor review. So many other people have said basically the opposite of what this guy says. We’re picking ours up in a week or so can’t go by what one person says so do your research people and you’ll find that and he’s way off on this review.
@@goodboyringo9716 Whatya mean? Every single part is made in Vietnam, China, Mexico, or Canada. $1,000 headlights, wiring and transmission issues. Stay away! You've been warned.
@@countingsheeple2428 ... So parts are from China,Mexico, Canada, can't help that but driving a Toyota, Kia, Honda and not a Chevy, Ford or Chrysler is not supporting your country.
Trying to make deal on a Platinum offered $54,000 Canadian. In my opinion the price is crazy and that's all I'm willing to pay for the top model not worth it even if it's a Cadillac.

Why lease and pay half the price of the car for a 3 year lease?
Ringo Gingo got a two year lease for $379cdn a month so sounds like the better deal to me!
zimm888 that's great! Any down payment?
Anthony Rocher yes $2500, but I had a GM credit card which gave me that. 5% return, I highly recommend getting that new GM visa. No cap on using points either.
In my humble opinion it's awesome.
I purchased one and like it. It is also now made in America (very important) full of quality features and a pleasure to drive.

@@countingsheeple2428 I agree, I like your comment but made in America now only means the country of origin.
@@robertdouglas2800 You're exactly right.
I disagree. I own one and I love it. Just drive it for your self.
Yup I got my XT5 Platinum in June 2016.....LOVE IT!!!!!
I just bought the Premium Luxury and I love it. No problem with the shifter either. Love the interior...clean. Mine is white with the beige interior..georgeous.
Sheila LaShay white with beige inside is the way to go. I got black, definitely should have held out for exterior white looks great
is there any way to turn off that STUPID STOP AND START !!!
inland85 refresh 2020 XT5 should have the ability to turn off the start/stop feature.
Own xt5 premium... love it... nothing but compliments all the time...

Oh yes the blind spots
You’re crazy- the handling is solid & great & still smooth ride. Plenty of power for 6c & fun drive. As good as any in class.
This guy is way off, drove several imports, which are overpriced, overrated, and he buys into it....sad....Caddy also gives more bang for your buck!! Far more beautiful to look at then it's competitors.
Michael Martonick agree completely!

This thing's a fuckin' POS.
This is the only review on RUclips that the guys said "it's not fun to drive" Welp, I think that makes his review worthless.
That car is very nice to have I love the style and everything about it one day I will have a car like that keep up the good work
Picking mine up tomorrow! Hope all is well Jake!
Still driving the pile? Had to replace a $1,000 headlight yet? Did the reluctor wheel in the M5U transmission brake yet? Because it will. It's only a matter of time.
not sure why he acts like this is some outlier in the segment. It's the second best selling CUV in this price range.
This is the worst review I have seen for the XT5. This reviewer didn't read the manual. Apparently the only thing he could adjust was the mirror! Check other reviewers for this vehicle.
He’s also a prude for saying it’s not a fun drive- for a cross-over it handles solid yet maintains nice ride & white cabin.
I am happy with mine, XT5.
Greate car. Best in class.
Who is your sponsor? BMW? Hehe
The reviewer is terrible. He did not go over the drive modes and most reviewers say the XT5 is very engaging to drive.

This is a why buy video not a vehicle review
My father purchased the 2017 XT5 and I purchased the 2017 Volvo XC60 T6.
Wonderful
I'm trying to get my spot car back but how much is it worth? & I need help to pool it out the shop how I do it

I think he's close to 6 foot.

Man you are quite disappointing telling me all your wrong subjective impressions.
This video is like my 6th grade PowerPoint
Imports use premium gas, XT5 uses regular gas, and its a Cadillac, made in America. This guy is biased.
the black molding around the bottom makes it look cheap, I know why they do it but it makes it look like something Chevy should be selling not Cadillac.

cadillac xt5 commercial was on before this

How much ?
headlights are way too small
that price is insane
Go buy a foreign car and wonder why you and your kids don't have a job at the big three.
LOL!!!

Jean Najem Yes but with a huge fight
Anthony Macneil went to Roy foss and got entry model for $379 monthly lease 2 year, buy back is incredibly low at end of term as well if desired
great neutral, no nonsense review. Please keep it up!
good review. I'd like to see one on the 2017 hyundai santa fe sport. pleeeze!
This guy is Terrible. Love my XT5
*Alcantara, not true suede.
Think about it. How many reviewers you can find on You Tube? Buy a Go Pro and welcome yourself in the business of reviewing cars.
IF it did not have that STUPED STOP AND START ON IT with no way to turn it off I would buy one TODAY !!!
inland85 government requirement, not Cadillacs decision!
Tatis nuts
XT5's are nothing but problematic.
What are the problems? It's on my short list of used vehicles to buy.

I've owned this car for almost 3 years. I'm done with Cadillac.
I bet you are. These things suck.
Feels pretty cheap inside the cabin? Really?
Bullshit, I'm on my 4th Cadillac and they were all beautiful inside.
Sheila LaShay are they reliable?
Yes, very... Better be it's brand new.
Fake news.
I hate the looks
