Cadillac not knowing what they want to be . I had a ATS, and it was the stiffest and sportiest vs Merc and BMW, now they made them the softest ? and reduced the HP for like 45 hp on the 2.0T? the money they must be loosing with every Cadillac sold is crazy
@Benjamin Martin I have hard time believing. My ATS had something like 20 recalls. Everytime getting a SrX or Yukon as a rental . Example. After a few months they changed the whole CuE computer , something like 1500$ in the warranty bill

Caddy used to be a decent representation of a powerful American luxury car
@@crimsonstang I understood that there can be a 3 cylinder engine that can make a lot more horses. I said this because that Koenigsegg is sold at a 7 figure price point. Of course it can have a 3 cylinder 600Hp mill with all the tech thrown at it. Of course it's impressive, it HAS to be! Here they're talking about lower end, run of the mill stuff that a mere mortal can afford. A 2 liter 4 cylinder develloping 255 is still really not bad and yes there are more potent 4 cylinder engines too.
The CT5 comes in a 3.0 V6 in the Premium Luxury edition of the car. Its miles better than the 4 cylinder in the sport. That car put a smile on my face the entire test drive!
@@awesomeone2979 I guess it is your opinion, in my opinion Cadillac looks cheap and tacky. Maybe that is why it basically only sells in ....North America. While 95% of the rest of the world prefers the likes of the BMW.
@@awesomeone2979 Actually not much of a MB fan, BMW like it better, more towards Audi but that is my personal taste. And yes, not much difference in that Cadillac to other overdone (i.e. tacky) designs of the new Chinese upcoming luxury brands. But it is ok, not much to worry as usual it will be a car that will basically sell with a nationalistic taste, hence not sell very well outside its heartland market, maybe in China where you share similar tastes for over the top cars.
Oh man, I’m glad you guys emphasized M-sport packages so much. Those packages make any BMW feel so much nicer and cooler. The price bump from the package is almost always worth it for what is included.
Which to choose depends on what you want. James and Thomas are petrol heads so they of course choose the BMW. But what if you want luxury, a pampered experience, a quiet cabin, comfy seats, and style? It even has it in its name, the CT5...Luxury edition. It's also bigger, like 5 series bigger, for a boatload less money. Also, notice the paint. The CT5's white is much brighter, like a new whisper of snow on a mountaintop. The BMW white is more yellowish, like a dog relieving itself on a roadside snow pile in Chicago.
The exterior is pretty nice, the big turn off is the high trunk. I don't know what it is with GM/Ford cars but a nice smooth not quite level but subtle belt line makes a car look sharper and more poised. VW and Audi do this, hell Dodge/Chrysler are doing a nice job in this.
Both 2.0L cars are over 50 grand CAD? Just get a Stinger GT, or a Genesis G70. You get a V6 twin turbo, AWD, rear biased as well, a lot more exciting to drive.
@@vernonprice5986 yeah but the ATS-V here in Canada was around 30k more expensive while being smaller and less practical. No shit it perform better. Every time there's a video about a well known GM product here you are with your nonsense. Nobody mentioned the ATS-V, the initial comment was more about what you get for the price and right now the stinger is unbeatable. Some answers to some counter argument I think you might offer me: The ATS-V is not worth 30k more in term of value The price I'm referring to are in Canadian dollars in the Canadian market. The price in the US is irrelevant to me. Used market and modding work both ways. Something you wish to add? Also yes I don't have any patience towards you since we watch roughly the same kind of video and I find your comment at best laughable, at worst infuriating.
The old CTS 2.0T was the LTG code engine which gave 272hp & 295lb/ft torque. The newer CT5 2.0T is now the LSY which at 237hp & 258lb/ft is FAR weaker, likely for the sake of MPG. The CT5 doesn't start getting good for actual drivers until you get the CT5-V, which is thankfully cheaper than the M340i but quite a bit above the 330i M-sport.
Ive seen a lot of your videos reviewing BMW vs Merc or Audi and some others but I havent seen yall review a Porche Panamera. Is it that there isnt anything in the same price range? The Porche looks beautiful and well proportioned now and always handled beautifully. Id love to see it go head to head with the other brands.
Went and test drove the CT5 Sport today. You're right, wasn't inspiring. I'll keep my naturally aspirated 5.0 liter V8 Jaguar XF thanks. The extra cost in gas mileage is well worth it 🏁
Desmond Miles You can with all xDrive, not sure about the new shitty 1 series though, they changed xDrive to be 50/50 instead of 40/60% like xDrive should be..
All reviewers were saying that cadillac shouldn’t try to copy german style of sporty saloons, and should make more luxury based cars. And when they do that, then cadillac out of sudden isn’t sporty enough.
Having driven the ATS, it's a disappointment to hear that they lost the driving dynamics in the caddy. Also the new naming scheme and some of the design cues are questionable. Maybe the bean counters at GM are once again making all the decisions
ph00ny1 Agreed, but I think they’re creating space for the V and whatever they will call the new “true V’s”. If they’d just clearly explained that V is the new VSport, and that a true V successor would come at launch, it would have soothed a lot of the confusion. Fingers crossed for future greatness from Ct5-V and blackwing.
Best intro yet. The only way it would have been better if you would then go on to try to explain why a "350" badge is on the rear in NM but rounded up to the nearest something even though we use pounds and feet. Also wow does that Cadilac sound awful. I'll take a Genesis G70 3.3L V6 TT for way less
Great reviews as always, Fellas. I do wish that these comparisons would include the recently refreshed Alfa Romeo Giulia. You can get RWD or rear biased AWD with 280 hp out of a 2.0T. You can get the sport package with column mounted aluminum paddles with the ZF 8 speed. You don’t need to spec it with a special package to make it a brilliant car. It would have been good to see. I don’t think you two have driven any form of Giulia yet, no?
Yes but think of this. People pay more for sound dampening, and in a lot of cases less sound dampening and road noise equate to the feeling of a lower quality vehicle. Kind of catch 22, keeping your fan base without pushing away people who may be offended.
13:39 that's why I love BMW. It's just that little bit sharper than it's competitors without selling out on comfort. A Mercedes might be even more comfortable but it's not as fun and satisfying to drive every day. No matter if it was my E30, E60, F10 or today the G31 and G30: Whenever I sit down in my BMW, I have a grin on my face that none of the Audis and Mercedes' I had ever gave me.
My 330i doesn't have the M-Sport package but does have the flappy paddles. While the goodies the M-Sport gives are really cool (and worth the upgrade as stated in the video) I'm more interested in comfort these days and the ride is significantly rougher with than without.
I dont really go by these car journalists because they're all about performance sedans rather than a regular car comparison. Not everyone who buys the cars will race them. Some prefer a luxury car to be luxurious instead of a super sedan.
This generation of 3 Series is a bomb. It pretty much nails everything. Still, the CT5 looks like a decent car. Nice aesthetics, especially. I would consider it.
Your intro was frigging amazing!!! And then the follow up just continued to keep me in stitches. I hope you guys are being compensated accordingly, you should be. I always look forward to what's next with you guys. Always, always, always. Great job.
To me, it looks like Cadillac isn't ready to take the Germans on head-on yet so they are skating around trying to cover nitch markets the others aren't doing.
They used to do a great job of taking them head on. The CTS-V 2nd gen could come with a 6.2L V8 which was out of the Corvette I believe. If I'm not mistaken it had the most power out of any 4 sedan on the planet and was a monster. Nowadays people buy them used and turn them into track monsters. My friends family drag race and her and her brother both have 1,000hp CTS-V's so they have tons of tuning potential. They really fell off :/
@@Sickwitit18 slight corrections, the 2nd gen CTS-V ONLY came with a supercharged V8 called the LSA, and it was not out of the Corvette, it was shared with the 5th gen Camaro ZL1.
@@Sickwitit18 The first gen CTS-V used the LS6 from the C5 Z06 then later used the LS2, the second generation was supposed to used the C6 Z06, LS7 but added the LSA, which is close to the LS9.
every manufacturer with a round logo needs a pop out rear view camera like the Golf. I don't even understand why this isn't on all VW cars. BMW could use the same thing, nothing like a clean camera lens in the winter.
@s n doesn't have to be VAG unless there's a patent still valid but i doubt it. it's like intermittent wipers. Still don't know why not all VW have that feature...
Review AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP! I purchased my 2022 CT5 in August 2022. Saying that my experience owning this vehicle has been a nightmare is an understatement. Here are the list of major repairs/replacements I’ve had within 2 years of owning; Engine Head Gasket, Transmission Transfer Case, entire Transmission assembly, front Seat lumbar units, steering wheel boot, interior door trim panels, O2 Sensors, and so on. All of this has been replaced within less than 2 years of owning this vehicle. I had decided to purchase my first ever car from Cadillac as the brand stood for luxury and reliability. I put my hard earned money, and that too quiet a lot of it, towards this car. If I had known what I was in for, I would’ve went for Cadillac’s competition. It’s a shame because the CT5 is a very good looking vehicle and it drives nice. However the amount of Repairs and unreliability overshadows the whole experience. Looks can be deceiving! If you’re in the market for a new luxury vehicle, I’d take a one good look at this vehicle, admire its good looks, maybe even sit in it or take some photos and then proceed to purchase a German or a Japanese competitor brand!

I always liked BMW but with the look of that Cadillac, damn.
My 330i doesn't have the M-Sport package but does have the flappy paddles. While the goodies the M-Sport gives are really cool (and worth the upgrade as stated in the video) I'm more interested in comfort these days and the ride is significantly rougher with than without.
Last time I was this early, coronavirus was thought to come from a 6-pack.
I dont really go by these car journalists because they're all about performance sedans rather than a regular car comparison. Not everyone who buys the cars will race them. Some prefer a luxury car to be luxurious instead of a super sedan.
This generation of 3 Series is a bomb. It pretty much nails everything.
Still, the CT5 looks like a decent car. Nice aesthetics, especially. I would consider it.
Your intro was frigging amazing!!! And then the follow up just continued to keep me in stitches. I hope you guys are being compensated accordingly, you should be. I always look forward to what's next with you guys. Always, always, always. Great job.
To me, it looks like Cadillac isn't ready to take the Germans on head-on yet so they are skating around trying to cover nitch markets the others aren't doing.
They used to do a great job of taking them head on. The CTS-V 2nd gen could come with a 6.2L V8 which was out of the Corvette I believe. If I'm not mistaken it had the most power out of any 4 sedan on the planet and was a monster. Nowadays people buy them used and turn them into track monsters. My friends family drag race and her and her brother both have 1,000hp CTS-V's so they have tons of tuning potential. They really fell off :/
@@Sickwitit18 slight corrections, the 2nd gen CTS-V ONLY came with a supercharged V8 called the LSA, and it was not out of the Corvette, it was shared with the 5th gen Camaro ZL1.
@@vernonprice5986 oh my mistake, the 3rd gen CTSV is the one that has the Corvette C7 Z06 engine. 6.2L supercharged V8 called the LT4. Good catch
@@Sickwitit18 The first gen CTS-V used the LS6 from the C5 Z06 then later used the LS2, the second generation was supposed to used the C6 Z06, LS7 but added the LSA, which is close to the LS9.
every manufacturer with a round logo needs a pop out rear view camera like the Golf.
I don't even understand why this isn't on all VW cars.
BMW could use the same thing, nothing like a clean camera lens in the winter.
@s n doesn't have to be VAG unless there's a patent still valid but i doubt it. it's like intermittent wipers. Still don't know why not all VW have that feature...
@4:41 *WAS THAT A TURN SIGNAL ON A BMW?*
Like the intro ‘black wiing’ 😂😂 love from Saudi Arabia.
Cadillac, coming to an Enterprise near you
Review AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP!
I purchased my 2022 CT5 in August 2022. Saying that my experience owning this vehicle has been a nightmare is an understatement. Here are the list of major repairs/replacements I’ve had within 2 years of owning; Engine Head Gasket, Transmission Transfer Case, entire Transmission assembly, front Seat lumbar units, steering wheel boot, interior door trim panels, O2 Sensors, and so on. All of this has been replaced within less than 2 years of owning this vehicle. I had decided to purchase my first ever car from Cadillac as the brand stood for luxury and reliability. I put my hard earned money, and that too quiet a lot of it, towards this car. If I had known what I was in for, I would’ve went for Cadillac’s competition. It’s a shame because the CT5 is a very good looking vehicle and it drives nice. However the amount of Repairs and unreliability overshadows the whole experience. Looks can be deceiving! If you’re in the market for a new luxury vehicle, I’d take a one good look at this vehicle, admire its good looks, maybe even sit in it or take some photos and then proceed to purchase a German or a Japanese competitor brand!
i just hear Scotty Kilmer whispering in my ear “...endless money pit”

That M Sport package is $5200 US in the US, so how is it only $2K in Canada?
