I'm in my late 40s, and I have this almost exact car. I find it has more than enough power a sport feel to the ride especially if you use the driving modes, and it has big brimbo brakes which work very will in summer and winter driving. I also have winter tires.
This is really nice. I like how they paid attention to detail with the styling and features location. Night time review is up next 😏 Good review friend.
Stunning! I love the fact that they resisted the urge to do a full digital display for the guages. It's a shame that these new sedans will be under appreciated. Thanks Nolan!
@@millhouse313 I would agree, when done correctly. Sadly more times than not, they are very one dimensional with cartoonish animations. Worst offenders, for me, is trace shadows that follow the tachometer or speedometer "needle". Just a clear, legible display is appealing to me. But, there are some that do it well. But then I'm getting on in years and probably set in my ways. 😉 You are definitely right though when it comes to being able to customize the display for your personal tastes. I think we'll see this taken beyond the basic themes we see now, where you'll be able to really fine tune the appearance.
Great review! Bought an XT4 Prem. Lux. w/ Midnight Sport package and love it! Have found it to be a fantastic vehicle despite some of the reviews. Cadillac did a great job on this vehicle too! I would wait for the Blackwing😍
I've also owned 3 CTS's, each generation, now in a 2018. I also have an XT5. If you like the fun factor of driving the CTS, you will lose it all with the XT5. But you gain utility. I like the last CTS design and interior better than the CT5 actually.
@@user-bz3et5gm7n I currently own a 2018 CTS and absolutely love it but after looking at this video I’m strongly considering purchasing a CT5, at first I really wasn’t a fan of the short rear end of sport back look, but now it’s starting to grow on me. The only gripe I have about my CTS is the lack of a volume knob or switch on the CUE system, which is corrected with CT5, the interior on the CTS and CT5 are nice and I think it’s a slight step up over the CTS. The only gripe about the CT5 sport is that it has the same stock engine and tune as the base model CT4, the 2.0 is a torquey engine, I think it should’ve been tuned specifically for the CT5 sport, for the sake of uniqueness and justification of it’s $55k price tag, but other than that I don’t mind the 2.0 in the CT5, I’ve driven the 2.0 in the XT4 and XT5 and it pretty much move those vehicles effortlessly.
Hi Nolan. Great review. The CT5 looks awesome, very aggressive, stealth mode for sure in black. Perhaps a bit too big for our UK roads but looks impressive. I still prefer normally aspirated engines but turbos are almost everywhere now. Seems effortless to drive though CVT sounded a bit droney. :-)
Thank you sir! I like the looks too. You’re right, it’s actually a pretty large sedan dimensionally, more so than it looks. I wish they still had a naturally aspirated engine for sure!
Ash Lo I’ve been having tons of problems with my car 😭 they’re good for a while but the more I’ve been driving it the more problems I’ve been experiencing 😭 and to add on certain parts to replace or fix are super expensive
Hey Nolan! Glad to see your still presenting vehicles in these uncertain times. I wonder how great those rubbery push buttom outside door releases will be in inclimate freezing weather and when you’re wearing gloves. $55K hmm
Thank ya sir! Yeah we had several weeks of not much going on. Still not normal but as long as we disinfect and distance I can take one out to video. After seeing this...is it really worth that much extra over the Impala? I don’t think so
@@Zaysav hahaa.. i drove bmw's and audis my whole life. never had any problems. over 400.000 miles on my dad's e55 amg. go back to school, kiddo. the interior of a audi a6 is atleast 2 leagues above this cheap gm product. i mean look at all the ultra tacky plastic.
@@patrickhoffmann4000 If the service department at the dealership has Techs who are trained in servicing this specific model and they don't have some unprofessional working the service desk.
@@4406bbldb - That's why after 35 years of driving Bimmers and MBz I purchased this exact same car! That said, I kept the 79 733i 5 spd I first saw in Germany back in 1980! :-)
If Acura can get 272hp from a 2 litre, then so should Cadillac (or get close to it). Whatever happened to the 2 litre w/ 260hp that was in the Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice 10+ years ago?
Agree 100%. The 2.0t in the 2020 Buick Regal Sportback and AWD gets you 250 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. But this is the "old" 2.0t, which was smoother than the previous 2.0t used in the Cobalt, Saturn Sky Redline, Pontiac Solstice GXP and Buick Regal GS (272 Hp in that 2013). Very disappointed in the newest 2.0t.
The outgoing CTS had the older 2.0T with 272hp, they made this new one which is significantly better on fuel but you're sacrificing quite a bit of power.
I feel like the only thing holding this car back is the engine options, I'm not the biggest fan of cvt transmissions and prefer a v6 with 300hp if I'm paying 30-40k on a luxury car. Love the looks it's down right stunning but the engine and trans is the offset to the car
@@4406bbldb if only buying American was more affordable! Many of my friends buy Ford and they're always doing some repair on it. Toyota just keeps running. I'm all about supporting my country but sometimes, I have to make better decision that won't burn a hole in my pocket book :(
They killed CUE - fantastic, that deserves to be thrown overboard in the middle of the Pacific and never talked about again. But apparently they can't sell a car without an Achilles heel, and that transmission... oh boy. You can just HEAR how slow and sluggish it is compared to it's German competition which are either dual clutch - or - automatics from this century. They really diluted the brand by taking a car which you say is not aggressive or sporty and calling it a "V". Everyone is doing it (S-Line, M package), but this is by far the most egregious.
Buy American products cause you are one. Funny in 1971 i said that at work and people didn't pay attention, i did this at work at Chrysler central engineering when it was a All American industry..
I'm always suspicious of people who place faith in tire repair kits because I've used them on account of cars that didn't have a spare tire and they're all useless
I'm glad that the American Luxury segment is actually seeing some love. They've been underwhelming for far too long
I feel in love with this car the moment I saw it. This will be my first big purchase in almost 20 yrs so I’m excited to see what it’s like to own. 🍻
Just picked one of these up yesterday! Couldn’t let it go
This car says..class, charming, a man with his priorities together

I own this in a 2021 model. Amazing car...
Any problems at all? Or some thing’s you don’t like about the car?
@@Dantheman11-v6b Still loving my car. No problems yet! I see so many newer and older Caddys around, and now I understand why...
Now that's daddy's caddy!!!
Brian Merrill just gotta swap in a bigger engine!
I owned a CTS 3 times including my cutrent 2017. I adore them. This may be my next :) Or XT5...

How has yours been holding up? Any issues with it?
Good review 👍 Always loved the caddy.
I legit got an add for this exact car when I clicked on this video kinda cool lol
One thing the Lincoln LS got right was the body--no whale-back but a rear window that dips down to a trunk! Love the massage feature.
Excellent review.
Brian Petersen thank you!

CT4v or blackwing will do. But the Ct5 i believe is BMW 5 Series size.
Currently have the Cadillac CTS-V 2009 .. now the CT5? For sure my next car 😍
I remember when I didn't have to wear a face mask in 2009
Have you had any problems with yours? How well do they hold up? :)

Hi prime I'm new to your RUclips channel I love real vehicles
raymond 419martinez thank you!
@@PrimeAutotainment u or welcome do you have any more videos I can watch
He has a good many to keep you busy for a while. Night reviews too.
The reason for the lack of a spare tire and or inflator, is due to the fact that the sport model has run flat tires

It comes with a V6 option and is customizable, depending upon how much you want to spend
The trans is 10spds
I'm debating between a 2020 Tacoma TRD Off-Road all black. Or the Cadillac XT5 Sport... it is like 15k more... the Cadillac is so damn sexy though.

The V isn't the highest power model that is the Blackwing trim. A nice jump in performance.
Can i request to review the latest model of Ford Taurus?? Because, i saw all your review video are great 👍👍👍
Thank you very much! I’d I can get ahold of one! 😁👍

A lot of people like Cadillac in china.i think is very different between us
That’s Greenville
This car with blacked out tails. Ferradas F7
No spare tire ? Sorry I don't have the patience to wait for a tow truck 15 minutes vs 2hours if the stars align and they never do
Run flat will work for the majority of problems. I suppose a drifting competition might shred some tires and it can doit.
Great car, good looking, bad engine why a 4cylinder ??? They should’ve at least done a v6
Buy American products cause you are one. Funny in 1971 i said that at work and people didn't pay attention, i did this at work at Chrysler central engineering when it was a All American industry..
Bose sound system too? Fuck yeah
Tony soprano's going to have to measure the size of the guys he's going to whack. Or they might not fit in the trunk of his Cadillac!
I prefer normally aspirated engines over forced induction. I do know why the industry has gone in that direction. Therefore I'm SOL!
bassistdc I prefer them too...there aren’t very many of them left ☹️
Me too because turbos are too expensive to deal with outside of a factory warranty
The engine note is obnoxious
Holy shit they actually kill CUE....only took a decade...fffffff
4 cyl for $55k! Thats insane !!
I would get a scat pack wide body with Hemi V8 . Which is $10k cheaper than this Caddilac
Not related but j hear you.
Both junk
Too much black in the interior, makes it feels claustrophobic
looks like a honda accord on the outside.
Do you like it?
CT5 ? More like an impala
Get rid of the fake window Cadillac
No spare tire?!? WTF!!
My thoughts exactly!
I'm always suspicious of people who place faith in tire repair kits because I've used them on account of cars that didn't have a spare tire and they're all useless
I live in Michigan and our potholes require you to have a spare tire.
That is not the car that the drog dealers like.
Nice car, but those grandma jeans ruined it for me.
Haha, how shallow are you? Grandma jeans my ass. If you really care about style...you’ve been played. They got you 🤦🏻♂️
