Price includes: $2,000 - Cadillac Loyalty Towards Purchase Private Offer. Exp. 01/02/2020, $1,000 - Cadillac Bonus Cash Program. Exp. 01/02/2020 n a 1/2 revolution of the steering wheel. The 3.6L V6 paired to the sluggish automatic transmission made it require more than 50% throttle to gain any speed on an incline. Hard shifts when attempting to use the "manual" mode made that option non-existent. Then we get to the so-called "driver assists." The backup camera intermittently lost signal while backing up and lost the angle indicators on even more occasions. The collision sensors constantly went off, regardless of how much I adjusted the sensitivity, or safe distance. Let's not forget the automatic start/stop function of the engine that can not be turned off in this model. This "feature" caused hesitation when attempting to pull out onto main roads, causing some harrowing situations. Now to the turn radius: It's atrocious. After driving a 2006 Ford Expedition I thought I had experienced a very difficult vehicle to park and navigate. Turns out, the relatively small XT5 was even worse. Parking was almost always a struggle to achieve, requiring pulling in, backing up, and pulling back in to get in a spot straight.

Now to be fair, there were features I enjoyed. The interior was spacious and comfortable. The exterior looks fairly well styled considering how many other crossover SUV's this vehicle shares it's market with. The keyless start, the exterior lighting , automatic liftgate, all of it was convenient and operated without issues.

In summary, if you live in a flat area like my home state of Florida, only park in oversized spots (or don't mind being parked extremely crooked) and don't enjoy any form of performance then this vehicle is for you. If you want to enjoy the drive without having 101 nanny features yelling at you constantly, then pass this vehicle over without a second thought.
