Overall, the car is a nice ride and enjoyable to drive. Heads-up display is nice but should also include blindspot warnings. Blindspot warnings are in the side mirrors but you have to take your eyes off the road to know there is traffic in your blindspot. Seat vibration is nice for collision detection and lane departure. Blindspot in the seat vibration would also be nice.
Technology is the big disappointment with this car and apparently Cadillac in general. The Infotainment system is problematic and lacks basic features that exist with virtually all other manufacturers. For example, the Cadillac Infotainment system does not support bluetooth text messaging. Unlike other manufacturers, the only way you can get your text messages displayed or read out loud is to be hard wired connected through Android Auto or Apple Carplay. What is the sense of having bluetooth if you need to hard wire a connection to Android Auto? My dealer confirmed to me today that bluetooth messaging is no longer supported by Cadillac. Seriously? In today's age of integration, Cadillac is not supporting it? Infotainment system voice recognition and hands free integration fails often. Very unimpressive.
Also, most all manufacturers provide you free Android or IOS apps that allow you to have remote access to your car for GPS, remote start, gas and mileage information etc. Cadillac has an app but you must pay a monthly $35 fee through OnStar to get the same service that other auto manufacturers provide to their customers at no cost. For what you pay for a Cadillac, it is disappointing that they will charge you a monthly subscription.
So nice car, poor technology interface. Big disappointment. If you value the evolution of technology integration for hands free voice activation and commands, stay away from Cadillac.
