WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY A CADILLAC CTS-V! (MUST WATCH BEFORE BUYING) 

All im hearing is I should go into debt for this car regardless 😂

Regarding the sunroof, I suffered with constant squeaking and creaking until I figured it out. Turns out the panel wasn’t closing completely. To get it to close fully, you need to use the “override” feature by pressing the close sunroof button for more than 10-20 seconds. Eventually, you should hear the panel close a little more and voila, the noise IS GONE!!

I knew they were going to stop making them, so I bought two. Both are 16's with 9,000 miles. One with ricaro seats and one without those seats is more comfortable. I keep them as an investment. Haven't had any problems. They don't get along with Mustangs.

I have a 2017 ATS-V. 34k miles. Just got the CUE replaced because it cracked and it froze on the start up screen permanently. Also my carbon inserts have warped as he mentioned. I did crack one trying to see if I could push it back in. No issue with the sunroof. I didn’t get the Recarro’s and my seats are in new condition. The regular seats hold you in place real well. So didn’t need the Recarro’s. I’m not trying to compete so it’s all stock still. I still get heads turning. Just yesterday I got 2 compliments within an hour. Paid 72k for the car and am very proud of it. Other than those 2 issues it’s had no other issues. Twin turbo does raise the cost of gas, must use premium and not a standard oil change.

got a cts wagon, 205k wrecked 3 times and no problems

I just bought mine yesterday!! Finally 😂😂 18 vector blue

I have a Gen 1 CTS V..I'm still luving mine..2007 with 56,000 miles..

Number one thing I don’t like is that I don’t have one yet 😂

I agree on all of the complaints. I bought a pair of stainless inserts and wrapped them in real carbon, and fixed that problem My biggest complaint is the paddle shifter delay, you have to hit it about 500rpm before you actually want it to shift.

I had two (at different times) v2 CTS V's. I Loved them both dearly, but they were both plagued with so many issues that alot of other v2 owners also had. I replaced 4 differential's between both those vehicles, drive shafts, relays, on and on and on. I'm a old man and I drive my cars realtively lightly. All covered under warranty thank god, but it was enough to leave me with PTSD when it comes to Caddy's. I reallllly want a CT4 Blackwing now, but man it's hard to give up a potentially perfect ride (FL5 Type R) for a car made by a manufacture that obviously has quality issues.

A lot of creaking noise when it’s cold outside

Mine reached 300,600 miles 2017 model, and seat issue and cracking things in carbon fibers doesn't exist, perhaps he's not cleaning car much often ?? I always use alcohol wipes and regarding screen issue yes true , my touch screen got bricked in 140k miles . But seriously this car is strong as HELL that's why I feel terribly sad cadillac discontinued it . very shame

I Had The Same Issue With The Sunshade. Luckily It Was Covered By Warranty! 1 Thing I Don’t Like About The CTS-V Is The Shift Gear Knob. I Think It’s Too Old School Looking For How Nice The Car Is. Also Another Thing I Hate Is The Yellow License & Reverse Light. I Switched Those Right Away! Great Video Man!

Hey, Amigo, I had to slow this down to .85 speed to understand you. Then all I got were negative vibes. Tell you what, since it's such a POS I'll give you $20 Large sight unseen and fly down to Tejas to pick her up.

Im a H Town stock V3 owner.. same color as yours. I don’t like the brake dust. I prefer the 6 speed from my V2 over the 8 speed. 1st gear is useless.. I always have to put into 2nd gear if I want to fishtail out a lot. Would be nice if paddle shifters were stationary. I wish it would have came with more supercharger whine like a hellcat. Rear tire options are limited. V2 was smoother. My bet is that the next gen V will be hybrid similar to the E-Ray vette. Holler at me, I’m in Houston too. Take some twin V pics for your content. Good to see a \m/ town V content creator. Good job.

The parking camera in front break easy from rock chips. And the little hidden compartment behind the hvac controls is too small for big smartphones, can't use the wireless charging. My sunroof creeks too. And the LT4 in any platform is expensive to mod. More than an LS. But I love the car.

Homies got the Lloyd Christmas bowl cut special.. My mans, what are we doing..

I have a 2013. So far never had a problem. Almost 90k.i say, to each his own.

Damn, I could’ve swore you were going to say how the damn cupholder bubbles always collapse inside 😂😂😂. That shit pisses me off

My sunshade creaks same make noises too when the chassis flexes. I think silicone grease fixes that

Dawg u ain’t lyin bout them carbon fiber trims.. had no idea they were covered under warranty tho.. appreciate that insight. I’m in Houston to we should definitely link

I have a 2011 sedan and I fuckin love it!! Don't have any of those problems and just about to turn 50k... and the ball cooler on my Recaro's works like a champ!!

I had the same issue with the carbon fiber on driver door at the pointy end and put a piece of 3m double sided tape under it and is working fine so far. Nice ride bud love the satin steel color i have red obsession got it 3 weeks ago. Same Cue issues also. No Recaros here. Sunroof creeks sometimes also.

I can relate to all the things you said about your car but damn, your ride is still HARD AF! 🤙🏻

Screen freezes forsure glad to know I’m not the only one ! Appreciate the vids sick ass v !

Bro mentioned simple things 😭soo other than that talk about maintenance etc things that rlly matter

Just got mine last week 🤣🤣

Carbon trim on both front doors and dash have popped on my 18. Annoyed but I get it being in AZ. If I was to complain about anything being taller (6'3") the screen is at a very odd angle. Haven't had any glitches or freezing issues yet. Only had the car for 6 months. Otherwise love it

Man, this was an awesome review , Im in the market for CTS V Or Rs7

My sunshade is all messed up lol I have a 17 V-Sport. I don't have an issue with Cue though. Never had an issue with carbon fiber peeling. My 2013 ATS never had that issue. I guess because ours was glossy

Are they reliable also is ats-v better or cts-c

I had a 2007 sts and the sunroof rack would malfunction alot. To see that still happening is sad

I’m under 50k and had no clue about the interior pieces! Mines obviously peeling in one spot haha. My sunroof seal also flys out at high speeds😅

Hell cat Killer

Use leather seat conditioner will keep the cracks away

Where’d you get that crewneck ?

Bought mine with 12k miles sold it at 90k miles only issue I had was the Cue infotainment, had none of the other issues mention Did headers, Lower Pulley, and a slight tune 760 crank horsepower the car was Damn near perfect

Great review!!! My V2 Recaro seats are heated and ventilated. I've been wanting to get into a V3 though. Thanks for the info. By the way, you are "Too Hard" on you car! It's truly bad @$s!! 😊

you talk like a salesman bro LMAO thats how you know my boy be making all the money

I want a CTS V V2 sedan tho 🥲

this dudes got a matching Cadillac V lawn chair he busts out at each meet he goes to I feel it.

Dont have any of these issues on my 2011 V2.

I have the 2018 ,same color.

I would just get a corvette

Getting magneride struts I’ve been waiting for over 5 months for them to be in stock. Like you said Cadillac with Cadillac cost.

Talk about the engine not cosmetic stuff 😅

Well just the CT5-V Blackwing lol

OMG Thanks for this video!

I have the cts4 and I could relate with the sun shade cover 😢great luxury car thoe, also the rear differentials are defective 😅

V3 or BLACKWING

I got my v3 a month ago and I get that screen freeze thing too at times but I also think it may be a gm thing my 17 z71 did the same thing once in a while.

What’s ownership costs like compared to bmw? I’ve had 4 BMWs lol

My 2017 will be for sale next year 26xxx miles, 800hp ftw but did replace the cue screen and sunshade 😅 it will stay open until trade in lol otherwise car is mint.

Cut the metal straps/strips. Trust me it was wrinkles and all that noise. Take out the metal flimsy things. Trust me works like new. No noise no wrinkles.

Wow..thanks for this video!

Dope intro vid👍

What year is this v?

All these issues appear to be Gen 3 issues except for maybe the Ricaros. I really like the looks of the Gen 3 but I [love] my Gen 2. I am doing my level best to [not] modify this car which, as it turns out, is one of the disciplines required. They are pretty expensive to maintain. $2k for a set of tires.

i got the same issue on my 2015 CTS with the sunroof liner smh

I have all the reason to buy one in future. Only 1 reason why shouldn't is when my wife said NO.

Sick ass intro fr

Thoughts on CTS-V Coupe?

2:50 that’s gm for ya

i miss my v , sadly it didnt make it to 2024 :/// some lady ran into it as it was parked.... smh

Sick intro ngl

are you kidding me! only 50k warranty for just a basic quality control item?? GM continues to shot themselves in the foot with these cars. What a shame. The car has so much potential but they pocket the majority of the 100k price instead of giving the client a quality car. Shameful.

Mine doesn't freeze 🤔

Buddy making videos at the Amazon warehouse

i got 2 cracks on my screen smh

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Have recardos and vented seats in my v2

Buy Chemicals Guys leather treatment products

Getting a new car soon either hellcat charger or CTSV what you think

Just don’t buy this car

Sounds like that car is a a lot of issues

Moore Patricia Young Mark Martinez Sarah

Doesn't cost any more to build than corvette or camaro get your facts straight
