Best car I've ever owned
I've owned many cars and the 2025 Cadillac XT5 is comfortably the best. Interior feels genuinely premium, ride is smooth, infotainment actually works. My only gripe is wind noise at motorway speeds — minor on an otherwise outstanding vehicle.

Worst car purchase I've ever made
Cannot recommend. Transmission issue, electrical fault that stranded me, engine warning light dealer cannot diagnose. Every visit takes a week. I had high expectations. Avoid.

Exceeded every expectation
Nervous buying without testing more alternatives but after 18 months: not a single unplanned shop visit. Safety features have intervened twice on the motorway. Comfortable on long journeys, easy to park. Everything you want.

Disappointed — expected better reliability
Bought on strong reviews and brand reputation. Ongoing electronic issues: infotainment crashed twice, emergency braking triggered unexpectedly three times. Dealer slow to acknowledge. Driving experience fine but reliability has soured everything.

Solid choice — does most things very well
The 2025 Cadillac XT5 hits a sweet spot for me. Refined enough for the motorway, economical enough for commuting, and practical enough for family duties. I'd have rated it five stars but the infotainment system has a frustrating habit of not connecting to my phone immediately on start-up. Software u…

Absolutely love it — couldn't be happier
Picked up my 2025 Cadillac XT5 six months ago and I have zero complaints. The build quality is exceptional, the technology is intuitive, and the driving experience genuinely puts a smile on my face every single commute. Did a lot of research before buying and glad I went with this one. Fuel economy …
