HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2019
- I was really impressed after spending a few weeks behind the wheel of the 2019 Cadillac CT6 Platinum AWD (www.cadillac.com/sedans/ct6-s.... This is Cadillac's top-of-the-line luxury sedan,pricing out just under $90K, loaded with every possible option. I really liked the super smooth, 404 horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine and of course, the amazing Super Cruise hands-free driving system.

The rear seats is ventilated too. It is not only heated. You can also change the angel of rear screens to be in the best watching position.
I love the CT6. And I own one.
Good to know, thank you. On this car, one of the rear screens was stuck and would not go back down.
@@FreddySherman maybe beacaus the remote control is directed to the right screen 8:00
@@FreddySherman you were mistaken about the rear window not having a shade, other than that fantastic review.
@@mjareacts2731 Yes, so many people have corrected me! I'm sorry I didn't see the switch and when I looked, I couldn't really see it, it's well hidden when stored away. Thank you very much for watching and for your comment.
@@FreddySherman I didn't realize so many people mention the switch until I started reading further into the comments.
Please Cadillac your cars are so underrated but you have got to take the interiors up another notch. Then the Cadillac haters will have no ammunition!
What do you mean? I think their interiors are great, hand-cut and sewn, real leather seats.
@@FreddySherman they're alright. It doesn't match German quality.
@@FreddySherman the seats are fine. It is the dashboard, steering wheel, door panels, and buttons. That's what they honestly need to step up on to the levels of MB. This is coming from a GM baby whose parents are GM retirees. I want to see Cadillac back on top. They have probably the best handling luxury line up. The technology and top engine that comes with the CT6 would be a 125k+ car in a euro luxury car. This I think is their only weakness.
@@theone5404 I agree somewhat, but I think they're more reliable and less expensive to fix than German cars.
@@B-H76 I tend to agree. When you get into one, if it had no badges or names on it, you would still know it wasn't a German luxury sedan.
A lot of good information!! Been eying one these for a bit now. Love how the 2019 has upgraded their technology. I’m really looking forward to getting one
Thanks for watching. Some people complain my reviews are too long, but there's so much information to convey! That SuperCruise is truly amazing technology, especially if you do a lot of long distance, freeway driving. Let me know if you get one! Please subscribe, I hope to do the 2020 Cadillacs in the next month or two.
Luxury Fred most definitely! A lot of times u have to find the right video that gets to the point, all in all this video was spot on 👌🏼
I really enjoyed your review. I like that you didn't try and nitpick it apart. They're good cars that are often underrated by some reviewers. And they look amazing. Just some friendly advice, the "uh" as a filler word was pretty distracting. Silence momentarily is better than filling it with "uh". I would also keep the dog out of the car, it just presents better when the car is really clean, and maybe have it in a better setting as well. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for watching and for your thoughtful and helpful comment. I agree with everything you suggest and always try to do better in each video.
"O hey?, whats going on" nothing just teleported next to you in the review.🚘
Welcome!
My dream modern Cadillac.
It was really nice to drive. I love that Super Cruise on the freeway.

Thank you very much and welcome. Lots of new stuff coming and lots of stuff already here, almost 1,000 videos.
hi Fred! Thank u for ur wonderful video of Cadillac CT6. i have question do u see Cadillac CT6 is better and more comfortable than Lexus LS500?
Now that's a good question. I think the CT6 is a bit smaller and not quite as nice. I believe the LS500 is about $10K more? I do think the Lexus is more comfortable and while I think the Cadillac is reliable, you can't beat Lexus build quality and reliability. I would probably get the Lexus.
@@FreddySherman so when u said Lexus is more comfortable than CT6 in terms of suspension or seating comfort?
@@hamadmirza7325 A bit of both. Lexus just feels more like a super high end luxury car.
@@hamadmirza7325 I think they are about the same for seating comfort, I really like the leather Cadillac uses. I think the Lexus has a more refined, luxurious suspension.
@@hamadmirza7325 They are very close, you would need to test drive both, try all the different drive modes and see which one you personally prefer.
I've had my 2019 CT6 for four months and have found that the new 10 speed transmission is a huge improvement over the 8 speed transmission that I had in my awful 2017 CT6 so I'm glad I traded. The 2019 has a nice refresh on both ends, though the interior is the same and to be honest, it feels like a basic GM interior. When people find fault with its interior, I point out that the cost savings make the vehicle more affordable. It has leather that feels like vinyl and real wood trim that looks like plastic, but again, it's far less expensive and luxurious than its higher end competitors. It's a very attractive sedan for what it costs.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I agree, but have to ask which trim level you have. THere's a big difference in the basic Luxury trim at $55K and the Platinum trim at $90K.
Excellent review, by the way. I have owned a platinum and a premium luxury.Other than the wood insert on the steering wheel and the veneer on the console cup holder, all three trim levels have the same interiors... I've checked them in person as well as the website. It's what you get for $70,000+ from GM. The 2019's features have been refined nicely over the 2016-18 series, but overall, identical interiors.
@@bill_4888 OK, good to know, thank you.
@@bill_4888 only the Platinum trim level has the semi-aniline leather along with ample use of Alcantara suede on the headliner, roof pillars, etc. The Maple Sugar color is gorgeous.
Curious how the ownership experience has worked out for you, after four years.
I like the long hood, but I'm not really liking the length of rear deck. If it was more sloping like the Escala concept, this would be a very good looking sedan. Regardless of it having a sportback design or not. Overall I like the look of the CT6.
Thanks for watching. I will check out the Escala and see what I think.
Cadillac is still the most innovative car brand on earth as they have always been.
if its in a car and high tech, more than likely it was introduced and first used by Cadillac.
I agree. That Super Drive system is amazing. Thanks for watching.
Kudos to those who remained tuned in AND awake until he finally began discussing this vehicle
I agree, even I fell asleep.
I wonder if you can opt for a less glossy wood trim
I'm not sure but if you build a virtual car on the Cadillac website you can see all the trim options.
It is the tradition on Cadillac to be high gloss/ bling.
from the 40's and 50's, and pinnacle of the 70's the more shine, the more fine. Gloss is Boss.
Boss Hogg (Dukes of Hazard)
@@MrGreenelight I agree. Also, "get them Duke boys" also from Boss Hogg.
Great car. Cadillac got there. Again.
I agree, it was a lot of fun to drive, especially with that Super Cruise! Thanks for watching.
How is the cabin noise? I can hear other cars on the highway as you were driving.
Hey, it's very quiet, but could be quieter. The sound you hear is because the camera is mounted to the passenger window with a suction cup and some sound transfers like that. I have a thing for quiet cabins (love Buicks because of this) and I would rate this 7/10. Thank you for watching.
Luxury Fred thank you
If there are three people on the rear bench one cannot use the seat controls, or is that the point? M.
I don't think it's done intentionally but yes, when the armrest is up, you don't have access to the seat controls. I guess they figure that most of the time you would only have two people back there.
@@FreddySherman Thank you. M.
@@FreddySherman It is the same in latest Rolls Royce Ghost. M.
@@rovercoupe7104 Yes, check this out: ruclips.net/video/ihcCaWMYoRk/видео.html
What do you honestly prefer this Cadillac ct6 or a jaguar xjl ?
I have honestly not driven the Jaguar XJ although I may be getting one to review in the next few weeks. I think the Jaguar has a bit nicer interior, but the Cadillac is more sporty and more reliable.
Are you the sort of car enthusiast who remembers something about Jaguar reliability in the 70s and think things haven’t changed? M.
@@rovercoupe7104 Haha. I'm the sort that remembers it but does think it's changed.
CT6 V is the top of line trim and some platinum models were ordered with a 4.2 TT V8
Good to know, did I say something different?
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
Looking to trade in my ‘14 XTS Vsport this spring for one of these 👌 Although, I do not think it competes with the S class 🤷♂️
I agree, it does not. But with a warranty it could be a less expensive luxury sedan alternative that is probably half the price of a comparable 2019 S Class.
Remember this is more luxe than a VSport XTS, less of an edge.
Thanks for watching and please subscribe, I hope to review some of the new Cadillacs soon. I am doing a big BMW press event this week and will be driving and reviewing a lot of their M models, are you considering any BMW models?
I’m thankful it isn’t a 4 cylinder. Even the Germans are obsessed with 4’s and silly electric drivetrains. This looks like a lot of fun. Hats off to Cadillac!
Fun it is. They do a lot with their twin-turbo V6s in this and their ATS-V and CTS V Sport. They sure feel like V8s.
Beautiful car.
I agree! Thank you for watching.
Great review, but when you review the exterior it adds to panache if you select a nicer background, whether a luxury house or hotel or beautiful nature setting as opposed to a construction site looking background.
Thank you, usually I try to do that. I had this at very nice places, you can see in the thumbnail pic which was taken during a visit to the Beverly Hills Hotel.
How about the Escalade Platinum Edition? I'm look to get a 2016
I like it. Here is my review of the 2018 model ruclips.net/video/Es6xbHw89_g/видео.html
I have 2016 Escalade platinum.
80.000 miles, changed engine.

Don’t try it.
A great car really, 2019

i would like to see a hood ornament on it seems like american cars forgot about those .. Mercedes , Bentley , an Rolls Royce still use it American sedans always had cool hood ornaments
Excellent idea and I agree. I will suggest it when I'm next with the Cadillac team and let them know you suggested it to me! Thanks for watching.
Yes, due to safety issues if you hit a pedestrian.
Nice review. Btw it does have a power rear sunshade. And is it a press car? ...I assume press vehicles take a beating, maybe that’s why the rear vid screen was busted.
Yes, it's from the press fleet. Yes, they take a lot of abuse so that's probably why it wasn't working.
man,I would get spoiled in this baby
It's perfect for that!
Luxury Fred I think this comment is the ultimate selling point for Cadillac. Affordable top American luxury. I want everyone to think Audi’s BMWs and other German cars in Germany are just cars and not everyone has a M3, 7-series, or an A8.
Most BMWs have cloth seats and the Mercedes have 4 bangers and no sunroofs.
Americans buy German brands because of exclusivity. Once the Caddy is so good no one can afford it, believe me it will be better than the German’s.
The best example is look at the last CTS V. High horsepower, plenty of luxury, but so expensive that most of us will ever see one in person or drive it. How will Americans enjoy Cadillacs if we can’t afford them.
You know that's Buick's promo line, affordable luxury. I agree and the prices are lower than comparable Audi and MBZ and BMW models. o think they should have super luxury models like the CTS-V that are very special and should be priced at that high level. Thanks for watching.
It has an electronic rear sunshade but it's very hard to see when it's tucked away
Very very hard to see it!
@@FreddySherman its flat on top so it fits like a puzzle piece
@@coureurdebois I wish I saw it but I think the fact that it's so hidden is a good thing.
I love it
Thanks for watching!
You mentioned how quiet the car is but, in the beginning of the video, it seems crazy noisy.
Thanks for watching. It can be hard to show how quiet the car is with the camera mounted on the window (with a suction cup mount). You hear a lot of vibration and road noise that the camera picks up, but you can't really hear it inside the cabin.
снаружи выглядит просто отлично, но внутри ... довольно дёшево) Вот что покупать... кадилак ст6 or new g90 2019?))
Vladimir, buddy, I can't read Russian!!
I love the CT6 but I feel Cadillac should offer more wood in the interior. The navigation screen should have some wood around it. The platinum edition doesn’t look like and upgrade from the lower models. When you look at the refresh of the 2020 Genesis G 90 they really upgraded the interior from the 2019 model. Cadillac only change some of the controls in the 2019 vs 2018.
I think I probably agree with you, it's the top of the line model and should feel more special. I am hoping to get a Genesis to drive and review. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
@dhan219
This CT6 has many features that are not available on the genesis G90 for any price. The CT6 handles better as well. I dont think you can beat an active suspension in a full size heavy for the right mix of ride and handling
I do wish Cadillac would come out with a model higher up to compete with the full size germans
@@turnne I agree but people who buys these big cars are not looking for active suspension. They care about luxury. The CT6 back seats doesn't even recline. You get reclining back seats in the G90 and V8 for 75k. You have to spend 92k to get a V8 in the CT6 with only carbon fiber and plastic interior. Cadillac luxury should be better than Lincoln and Hyundai cars for the price you pay. That's the only issue I have with Cadillac's.
@@dhan219
The G90 doesnt drive nearly as well as the CT6. While I agree that people buying these cars dont "care" about things under the skin..per se
I think they they appreciate the difference that things like this make in the ride and drive of the vehicle. I have driven the Ct6 and the Genesis G90 back to back. Cadillac has clearly been studying how the german cars ride and drive
As far as luxury features the Ct6 has the G90 beat. No super cruise..no night vision...no upgrade stereo option if you were talking about luxury features
@@turnne Thanks for watching and for your comment. I agree. I love the magnetic ride control on this, really gives a smooth ride yet performs well, as you said. When you say a higher up model to compete with the Germans, do you mean bigger and more expensive?
The seats look nice but it’s the rest of the interior that I feel doesn’t look as refined. The dashboard in particular is suspect. Nonetheless, great review.
Thanks for watching and I agree with you. It's nice, but you don't get in and think it's a MBZ or Jaguar, that's for sure. Just not quite there in interior quality and fit and finish.
I would have liked Cadillac to handle the remarkable fuel consumption compared to the Mercedes S 450, although the two engines are the same size
What is the MBZ MPG? The CT6 gets 21 average.
More like 16 15 mpg
@@joeypapperslapper I got better mileage than that.
joey semas I’m getting at least 20+ around town. *so long as I’m not in Sport mode, & doing jackrabbit starts.
The rear window does has a rear sunshade
Thank you, a few people have commented about that, I guess the switch is up above. Thanks for watching!!
How much? Thank you
Thanks for watching. This is the 2019 Cadillac CT6 Platinum AWD. Total price is $88,490, including one option, $700 for upgraded 20" wheels (19" is standard). Platinum trim comes with all other options included.
Amazing..
The hands-free technology is truly amazing and it has certainly improved since I did this video in 2019. This was a CT6 road trip I did in 2018: ruclips.net/video/uYUBwdxv0ts/видео.html
Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel. I plan to review the new Escalade next month, with Super Cruise.
As a commercial driver for 30 years,safety is on our minds every three seconds.
Hands free tech' is a great tool,but paying attention to the road and your surroundings is critical to staying alive...
Looking forward to the up and coming videos...
@@brewmorgan8942 I agree with you, but that's the thing, the computer and sensors and camera are checking the road thousands of times a seconds, more than you or me or any human can.
The Cadillac system is different as you must look at the road for it to work. It scans your face, head and eyes and if you even look away, it gives you an alert and begins to disengage, unless you look back at the road, with your eyes, not just your head. If if you look down at the radio, it will alert and disengage unless you look back at the road. It's more like an auto pilot system for a big aircraft. The pilots use it to help fly the plane, but they never leave the cockpit to let it fly itself!
This is truely tremendous and informative. The CT6 has gone beyond safe.
Really apprecieate the reply. Commercial trucks need this tech,' big time.
It would save lives....
@@brewmorgan8942 I agree. It doesn't replace the driver, it just helps them.
What’s the name of the background song?

Did I miss the part about ARS
Super cruise is nice but to honest with TT it is more fun to drive the car ARS is amazing at high speeds
I don't know what ARS is. Do you mean ASR on the Audi? That's the traction control system.

Please do a review on the jeep grand cherokee overland.. I really like your review for this car, also I'm local in the area of palm springs..
I will try, I have never worked with Jeep before, usually I focus on luxury cars but I think a Grand Cherokee counts. Check back in a few weeks. thanks for watching.
For 2020, the TT V6 is going away and getting replaced by a detuned Blackwing V8. That should help elevate this car into proper top end luxury sedan territory. The TT V6 will be used for the higher trim CT5's.
Good to know, thank you very much for watching and for the update. That makes sense, although I thought that V6 TT was really nice, I didn't get the feeling it needed more power as they really get a lot out of those V6 engines.
Nice nice 👌

iam confused should i go for bmw 4 series or cadilac. iam confused iam not very rich. iam truck driver so i cant bear any kind of loss any suggestion guys. sorry for my grammer
I think you get more for your money with a Cadillac. I also think you can get a better car for less money. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Neither. I agree with Luxury Fred, you can get a much better car for less money. Stay away from Cadillac and BMW if reliability is important to you and you don't have money to sink into expensive repairs.
If you don't want to lose money get a Toyota Camry.
@@Mgoblagulkablong I agree!
@@Mgoblagulkablong Yes, excellent car, reliable.
9:27 You don't need a sunshade on rear just tint the windows mate
For $90K, I should get a sunshade. It was my mistake, it does come with one. I live in Palm Springs, you need a super dark tint, which is illegal in California.
@@FreddySherman it does have a rear sunshade, the button is not only up front but it was also right next to you on the rear left door.

Take a Super Cruise to the Supercuts.
I did and now I'm rocking a new look. Check the Buick video I posted today.
.. Well, so far, I’ve had absolutely no problems at all with my CT6 (Platinum).. except all those buttons. Lots of buttons. Gas mileage is as good as the little Dodge Caliber R/T I used for carting the old farts about, *22city, avg.
I really wanted the V model, but first run was sold out before they even hit the dealership.. and didn’t want to wait n see if I could get a shot at the 2nd run, Soo...
they just started offering a ‘detuned’ Blackwing V8 tt when I drove away with mine; but at an extra 10k, and less options.. oh, well. I can live with 404bhp, & those massaging seats, instead of 500bhp, & scratching my own ass.
Great comment, thank you for watching. i agree with your logic. Do you use Super Cruise a lot?
Luxury Fred, depends- I’ve found it doesn’t seem to like really heavy traffic; the ‘Batmobile’ will tell me to “take control of the vehicle”.. but the Caddy Super Cruise is much more bettah than the others I’ve been a passenger in. *nissan, for example.
I’d rather be in control in heavy traffic anyway. And there’s more than enough safety gizmos to warn me of other cars/drivers, when I’m in control.
I’ve got about 22K miles behind the wheel so far, & this thing Still amazes me. Well worth the money, in my humble opinion.
Luxury Fred - oops. 2.2k, 2,234miles so far.
@@professorkhaos1479 Very cool. Enjoy it!!
@@professorkhaos1479 Oh wow, so it's relatively new.
I would love it if there were more Cadillacs in the UK and fewer Audis and BMWs. M.
I think that has to do with taxes. It makes the cars much more expensive than their European counterparts.
@@FreddySherman GM has tried a few times to establish Cadillac in the UK without success. I think this lack of success is possibly due to Cadillac being unfamiliar to UK tastes, something like that. The investment required to get Cadillac established in the market has proved too much even for GM. I think Cadillac didn’t keep up with the Europeans in terms of dynamics. Some Cadillacs, even in the late 1970s, had leaf-sprung live rear axles. M.
@@rovercoupe7104 No, I think it's taxes / import duties. In the past five years, they have been making some amazing cars. They are huge sellers in China and other parts of the world, so I have to think it's about the price. With taxes / duties, a Cadillac is a lot more expensive than a comparable BMW / Audi / Jag / MBZ. So unless you love the brand, you wouldn't overpay and would not get one.
@@FreddySherman I see plenty of Ford Mustangs. M.

When you are using the auto Pilot type feature you're suppose to be asleep like an idiot so you can endanger yourself and everyone else on the road!
Haha, next time I will try that. On this car you can't, it detects which way your head is turned and it detects where your eyeballs are looking. If you look away for more than a few seconds it alerts then it disables the system.
@@FreddySherman That is good to know and the way it should be! I've read that Cadillac's Super Cruise (if I am remembering the name correctly) is an outstanding system.
@@jdm1039 It is, I've used it extensively and even did a road trip from New Mexico to LA using it most of the way. It just takes the stress out of long drives.

@@FreddySherman Honestly stoked about the CT6 V coming out very shortly also the future concept cars. I've grown to like the new interior that Cadillac has stirred up, but they definitely need to add more than just black and beige/ cashmere leather interior colors going forward. They have a technological niche and I wouldn't be surprised to see competitors incorporate some sort of super cruise feature in the near future.
@@ryansmotorsports2199 I hope to get the 2019 CTS-V to review in a few weeks. I agree there should be more interior color options, I like the colors, I had a ATS V Sport Coupe with the red interior, it was beautiful.

WTH did they trade in the perfectly good styling of the 2016~2018 model for the MAZDA squint eye look?

I wouldn’t allow my pet to ride because of the reasons you showed in the video... I d let my pet ride in a kick around car or truck. Not in an eighty thousand plus luxury vehicle.
Then what's the point of having a car you can't use as you wish? A car can be cleaned and detailed to remove evidence of doggy!
I'd let my pet ride in it...but not you
@@weirdshibainu LOL!
If I spend this much money on a car, Im going to DRIVE it . This super cruise thing is just dumb, but nice review.
I agree, but you're missing the point. This is just a feature, a driver aid, there when you want to use it. It's like cruise control. You only use it when you're driving for hours on the freeway, it makes the drive easier and less tiring. Thank you for watching.
It sounds bit v12 inside. Bit Aston Martin.
I like the exhaust note, especially in the Sport mode. Thanks for watching!
my 2018 platinum is much better is has a rear sunshade.
Essential for where I live in Palm Springs!!! Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel.
no f..ing way i would own a drive itself car
I was scared to drive it, but if you think about it, all those computers and sensors can pay better attention to the road, every second, never being distracted, than any driver can. You always need to be facing forward with your eyes looking forward for the system to work. Thanks for watching.
@@FreddySherman agree with the part about helping the driver but these cars can be hacked and could potentially send you were you should not be. crazy not jobs out there
@@rodg011 Very true. And although you have to monitor the system, in a split second it could drive you into a wall or other traffic.
@@FreddySherman Yes, remember the poor guy whose Tesla sped up and crashed into a barrier. RIP.
@@lifeofdonna6725 And that was a glitch. He's talking about an intentional hack!
Fred is the kinda guy who drives a Cadillac but only showers once a month.
But I shower in Dom baby.
@@FreddySherman Now THAT'S a comeback with a sting! :) . Great vid Fred, just subbed!
@@mikealanzo Thank you. Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I was showering.
@@FreddySherman Hehehehe.... :) was it in Dom -45? :)
@@mikealanzo Dom from 1945? That's for rich people. I'm using Dom 2008!
Thank you for this video, but truth be told, this car does not compare to the Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus or the Genesis G90. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an absolutely beautiful car, but it’s sort of like a pretty girl with bad breath. It looks great until you open the door. The seats are not comfortable, the buttons and stalks are cheap, the exterior handles feel cheap and it doesn’t have soft close doors. If the interior of this car was paid more attention to, then this car would be able to be compared to the others. Until then, it’s overpriced and the only way it would make sense to me that anyone could think that the interior of this car is beautiful is if they have only experienced subpar interiors.
That being said, I do love the way it looks.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I would have to disagree a little as it does compare to some models of those brands, but maybe not their models that cost the same. Like it does compete with the quality of a 3-series BMW but not a 7-series. I agree with you that it does feel a bit cheap and you certainly know instantly you're in a GM car. None of those cars have Super Cruise, which is some amazing technology. If I was in the market, I would need to sit in each and drive each one in the price range to really make a decision. I would probably get a Lexus LS.
Luxury Fred Well the only way to compare this car, as any other, is to base it on the cost of the car as well as the class (size) that it’s in. Based on the price and size of the CT6, it would be compared to an S Class, 7 Series, A8, LS 500 or G90. Comparing it to a 3 series would be ridiculous. Cadillac has a vehicle in that class, but it’s not the CT6. Super Cruise is cool, but the catch is you have to have OnStar for it to operate. You get it free for 2 years but after that, if you want to use it, you have to pay. No thank you. The G90 has HDA (Highway Drivers Assist) which also allows you to drive hands free for a good amount of time, including in stop and go traffic. I’m not saying it’s as good as Super Cruise, but it does a great job and no extra cost.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Well then I agree, it doesn't compare to most of those full-size luxe sedans. Thanks for the info on OnStar, I didn't know that was necessary.
Luxury Fred You’re very welcome. Again, thank you for posting the video.
@@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle Please subscribe, reviews of some of the 2020 Cadillacs coming soon...
Lovely like my wife...
"Pretty cool,right?"
no, not cool. Autonomous Driving is like a self bouncing po-go stick.
It's pointless in my opinion. I want to have control of my car. I enjoy actually driving my car and having control of it at all times. I know it's out there,but I hope it dies out.
People probably said the same thing about cruise control! You're totally missing the point. Yes, you like driving your car and enjoy it. But if you have to take a long, freeway trip, hundreds of miles of freeway driving, this gives you the option to make it easier. Not having to hold the steering wheel makes long drives much more comfortable. No painful arms or shoulders. You still have to pay attention to the road, it just automates more of the process.
Nice car, bad photography and take out
Well you watched it and that's the important thing. For that, I thank you. Please subscribe to see other badly photographed car reviews.
Dude is this your car? Why are you putting your dog in there messed up man.
He helps me do the reviews. I need to know if cars are dog-friendly so I always take him with me.
@@FreddySherman lol ok good review of the car though
@@MH-kk5bm Thanks for watching it. Loved the Super Cruise.
Im tired of see you... I want to see the car
Spot on! Some of these reviewers are too busy idolizing over themselves instead of showing the details of the vehicle.
You can see the car on the Cadillac RUclips channel, This is about my review, my opinion of it. Thanks for watching.
@@TheBjjones But I am quite cool. This channel is about my opinions, my reviews. You can see the car itself on the Cadillac channel or on other pure automotive channels. But thank you for watching.
I can't subscribe or anything
Would I trust something so critical to a company that’s unable to manage itself, filed for bankruptcy, and is called generic motors, oops General Motors.
I'm sure you fly on airlines that have declared bankruptcy, that's critical too. Thanks for watching!
