Main issues and features of Cadillac xts.
Side detection system needs to be serviced. Center console USB ports don't work. Drives beautifully. Very reliable. Comfortable seating for 5. Spacious trunk. Dual temperature control. Lane assist. Heated seats front and back. Heated steering wheel. Infotainment center is outdated.

Sport or luxury? How about both
So far it's been amazing! All the comforts you would expect from a luxury sedan, with all the get up and go of a sports car. The touch display and GPS, are easy to use, and the radio also has satellite and BT. The speakers are made by Bose and the sound quality is amazing. My only complaint is the gas mileage is bad as low as 18 mpg

Beautiful Luxurious and Roomy
Love my XTS. Good on gas with plenty of get up and go. Very comfortable to ride in both in the front and back seats. It gets a lot of compliments.

Love the feel, the ride, the sound.
The low profile tires are definitely an issue on bad roads. I have cracked a wheel on a pothole and replaced tires twice in two years because these are not good on roads with any issues. Also there is a problem with the emissions and the fuel system that causes it to have trouble passing emissions tests quite often.

2014 Cadillac xts is a very convenient comfortable and smooth vehicle.
My cadillac xts is a very smooth ride. It has many conveniences like bluetooth calling and music, navigation (onstar), heated and cooled seats in the front and heated seats in the back. The seats adjust automatically and seat position can be saved in 2 different settings so at the press of a button the next driver will automatically have their seat moved to their position. The trunk space is very large. The only complaint I have is there's no texting feature in the cue.

Problem car
I’ve had the car 4 years the cue display cracked $1500 replacement. The leveling system went out three times $1,000 each repair and now the timing chain is making a loud noise at startup. This the worst car I’ve ever purchased do not buy a Cadillac they are garbage.

Has a lot of electrical and luxury features.
I bought the car with 9k miles and since then there has been a magnitude of electrical issues with this car. Also ac issues, hydraulic issues and it is under 40k miles. It is been nothing but issues. Last week the car randomly decided not to start and after unhooking the battery and hooking it back up, it worked again. Took it to the dealership and they said it was good to go. For the price of the vehicle, the cost of the maintenance is not worth it at all.

My Cadillac is black with tan brown leather seats. It rides smoothly.
I personally love it! It is a great ride and it is perfect for showing off to my friends! I use this car for work as well as leisure, and I am sure you'll enjoy! The only thing I would consider is checking out the gas mileage, but other than that this is a great car to consider investing in.

Very comfortable and dependable.
Performance is lacking compared to the Cadillac cts which I owned before. But the xts is a bigger and heavier sedan that the Cadillac has in its fleet. The liability of the car is good thus far. I have only had to do 2 major repairs and one was covered by warranty. One repair was the cue touch screen in the vehicle. The sensor went out not allowing me to control the climate controls fully. Repair was covered by warranty. Second repair was the left control arm which was a 120 dollar part and was able to replace it myself. The car is very comfortable with nice features of self parking and parking sensors front and rear.

I have had one dead battery. The dealership came 40 miles to bring and install a new one. My husband keeps the 'candy-apple' red shining like new -- good paint!
