Why I love my car. Easy to drive and easy to clean.
It is very comfortable. It has a lot of features I really like especially the built in GPS. It also gets good gas mileage. It is not a big car so it is easy to park in small places. It has leather seats so they are easy to clean. The whole interior is leather so it is easy to clean the inside of the car.

I love my car and I you will too.
If you are looking for a car, I recommend a Cadillac. Nothing compared to a Cadillac in luxury and comfort. Driving in a Cadillac is like you are riding first class in a plane. The ride is smooth, the sound system is exquisite, the interior is sleek and elegant.

It is a wonderful car it just does not do well in the snow. I really enjoy.
The performance has been wonderful since I have bought my vehicle. It is not to good in the snow that would be my only complaint. The color is nice the style and I'drives well. It is roomy, but I do not know when I have kids if I will keep driving it then.

Nice handling and performance while driving.
Getting in and out of vehicle is tiresome. Love the way it handles especially into curves. The seats often refuse to adjust but with some effort it fixes itself.

Best Cadillac I have ever owned.
Most comfortable and reliable car I have ever driven. I love the remote start and keyless ignition. I have owned 3 Cadillac's and the xts has the most room and comfort. It has 3 USB ports, cruise control, electric seats, a huge trunk. It came with a good warranty. The car gets great gas mileage. The seats are leather, equipped with lumbar support and recline. The fob will open the trunk, start the car and lock or unlock the car. It also has an emergency alarm. I haven't had any problems with the car.
