  XTS Review - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By frothacker - July 10 - 1:56 pm

  This is the most uncomfortable full size Cadillac I have ever owned. The ride is stiff and hard and the seats are not comfortable. I owned four large Cadillacs previously which I really enjoyed. This new XTS is terrible. I will ever buy another Cadillac. Ergonomics need much improvement. The CUE system is cumbersome and you must take your eyes off the road too frequently.

  wont start - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By cappy12 - May 30 - 5:18 am

  after sitting for 4-6 days the battery goes completely dead. dealer says nothing wrong . after returning from a 7 day vacation the battery goes completely dead. I have no faith in this car and am afraid to park for a few days . the dealer charges the battery, I could do that. gm is still the leader in unreliability ,dont buy this car until they come up with a fix for the cue. I believe this is a lemon

  Platinum FWD--A Real Delight - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By rgj21 - May 23 - 3:50 pm

  I took delivery of my XTS Platinum FWD in Sapphire Blue Metallic on May 11. I must say that I become more pleased with the vehicle everyday. I have owned a Lexus LS, a Jaguar XJ and a Mercedes CLS and the XTS compares very favorably with each of those luxury vehicles. GM has finally met the challenge of the German and Japanese luxury vehicles with interior materials, fit and finish and technology second to none. I seriously evaluated 11 other cars and SUVs before this purchase and could not escape from the fact that dollar for dollar the XTS was the best value in its class. It is a pleasure to drive, performs beautifully and has that head-turning quotient.

  New vehicle same old GM - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By richzand - April 10 - 11:47 am

  9 trips back to the dealer since July. The cue system seams to have problems that GM doesnt have fixes for, they should have worked all the gremlins out of the system before releasing this car.

  Complete Lemon - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By richzand - April 10 - 11:39 am

  I have a very bad back so I always drive a big heavy car. The XTS has coach work 2nd to none. The problem is Ive had the car back to the dealer nine times. Service is supposed to be available at your preferred dealer. But if you have a legitimate problem, and the dealer doesnt have a fix they will blow you off because you arent going to give them a perfect survey. Im currently on my 3rd dealer. Getting Cadillac involved doesnt help they tell you dealers can refuse service if they choose to. I bought my car in July, and to date the vehicle will unlock the doors at least 25% of the time. When you are trying to get out the power seats, and mirrors will start moving. No heat, at times. Bad

  great car - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By tommyycar - March 27 - 11:02 am

  I like to wait until I have driven a new car for a thousand miles before I review it. I must say that this car is a dreamboat! It has been written about as the new definition of the American luxury car, and I think that that is apt. It is not an attempt at a European or Japanese clone. Its its own thing, and I like it a lot. Its big enough to feel luxurious but not so big it feels clunky on the road. Its great to drive. I traded my 2012 BMW X5 for this ( I hated the electronic shifter in the BMW) and before that I had a Lexus LS460. I like this Cadillac far better than either of these.

  In Luv with the XTS - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By ajp430 - November 16 - 9:44 am

  We bought the Platinum AWD in Diamond White. Its beautiful both inside and out. The safety features are awesome. The ride is wonderful. The CUE is absolutely fabulous. The XTS is truly a new chapter for Cadillac. This car will appeal to both the traditional Cadillac owner and the younger generation. All it needs is a V8.

  Computerized nightmare - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By jaymedic44 - October 4 - 6:17 am

  We bought the platinum edition, liked the different grille and wheels. As the salesman was showing my wife how to operate all the features all of the sudden the radio went to full volume. The salesman tried to turn it down but as soon as he removed his finger from the button it would return to full volume. They said it needed a software update and took it to the shop. An hour later he returned and proceeded with the demonstration and it did it again, not only did the volume increase on its own you cant turn it off. Well today it is making its 3rd trip back for the same issue plus some other electronic problems such as the seat memory wont work, Bluetooth connection is often lost and so on.

  Big Caddy with Styling - 2013 Cadillac XTS
  By bigwes3 - October 1 - 12:43 am

  Purchased a White Diamond exterior with Carmel/Black interior Premium FWD XTS in July after considering a BMW or Mercedes. After 3,300 miles in it, the more I drive it the more I love it. Outstanding ride quality and interior finish is top notch. So glad Cadillac did not abandon the smooth ride to chase the BMW/Mercedes performance (extremely hard ride) model. This car provides a perfect blend of cushion & performance handling. Big car ride with midsize handling. The spirited V6 provides excellent power while returning great gas mileage. CUE system definitely requires a dedicated learning period to familiarize yourself with the many features.
