Thanks. Nice to see a review of the 2.0 for ct4 or ct5. almost all reviews for either car are the V/ Blackwing trim, the one that most people cannot afford.
Hey thank you for the feedback! That really helps me out with which cars I should be doing. The Blackwing's are definitely expensive and rare, people love them, but people do need to see the cars they can actually get their hands on. Like this one.
That's awesome! It'll be fun! All 3 engines definitely run very well. When I drove all 3, the 3.0TT didn't seem to have much more power than the 2.0T, but of course the Blackwing definitely does
@IV Garage I did some research before buying the 2.0T. I agree 👍 💯. Yes I know there's a big difference stepping up to the Blackwing but it's out of my league 🤑. I test drove the 2016 CTS-V on a track invite. That 664 HP is a BEAST.
I have the 2021 CT5 550T (V6) as my daily. I do sometimes wish I went with the 350T instead for better gas mileage/agility. The 550T is a beast above 4500rpm with popping/crackling exhaust, stock - but not something I need 98% of the time.
Really nice car and is on our list of cars to consider for my wife who is looking for a new vehicle and doesn't want a SUV/CUV. I wish the 325hp 2.7L was available. I find the 2.0L doesn't have enough power and the V6 as nice as it is doesn't get great MPG.
Look at the seat color in the sun ☀️, I call it two tone chocolate, also the door has a area for a small umbrella 🌂 driver side following the side pocket up .
I'd like to how everyone feels about the upright on the drivers door digging into their left leg. I had a 2021 out for a test drive and didn't like it(the upright) that is pressing into my leg.
@@ivgarage One more thing. I'm seriously considering purchasing this vehicle but I'm also interested in the sport V. I don't like the other reviews I've seen from the competition. 😂 Have you done one already and if not can you put that review on your "list" for future content please? Thanks again. Keep up the great reviews. Benzel
I have not done one just yet, I was going to this past weekend when we had one, but someone had purchased it before I could get my hands on it. I definitely will plan to do one in the future! I appreciate the support!!
That depends on your preferences. I've driven the A3, I think the A3 is quicker, also has more modding availability. CT5, unless it's the Blackwing, no modding available computer wise. Ease of usability the electronics, I personally like the Cadillac, but I'm extremely used to GM because I grew up with them since I was like 7 and they're extremely predictable, imo. The Audi UI is a bit more complicated, but once you understand how they place the items you want to adjust, it can be fairly easy. For infotainment type stuff I genuinely like that GM kept everything all in the same place. Rather than most of all of the euro cars, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, throw them all over the place. Example, with want to adjust any of the feature in the car, Cadillac: go to settings, everything is there. Euro: go into settings and basically nothing is there. It's similar to a smart phone where everything is its own application. Want to adjust your seat? Click on seat, want to adjust your parking settings? Go to the parking app. Euro cars make it a bit more complicated, where GM dumbs it down to literally a setting in the settings menu.
Why would you be comparing a CT5 to an A3??? The only thing similar is the price. The A3 is even smaller than the CT4. The CT5 is same size as BMW 5 series or Audi A6 or possible the A5 sportback. The BMW and Audi are more sporty and a bit more refined. Some interior pieces might be a little nicer but nowhere near the value for $ of the CT5 (or CT4 if you want a smaller car and don't care about back seat space). The Audi 2.0L is a much smoother quieter and more powerful engine than the 2.0L GM engine.
I had got a nice set of 20in blades with 255 35 R20 I got two sets of rims for mine I have the factory rims with a very sweet but those twenties are really shutting off and it's also black and I'll tell you the Beast you got to be in the right place at the right time if you want to take that dick locked and step on it because you know what I'm going to tell you something vehicle is really fast and I basically was mine to be honest with me I mean I had mine and only had four miles on it when I got it but it didn't really get to swag until it got to about 13,000 miles now it's broken and I mean and it has a gorgeous ride the dealership in Baltimore they want you to give your Cadillac a nickname so I called the copycat
Hey my friend i have a Cadillac CTS luxury edition 3.6 L 2014 with 42,000 miles on it but I’m just thinking about trading it in for a Cadillac XT6 what are your thoughts on that?
I personally do like the XT6, it's not as obnoxious and large as the Escalade, but still has 3 rows. It definitely feels nice. The 3.6L in that is the LFX the same in the CTS. GM of course has been using the same engine for the past basically 20 years now, of course more reliable than before.
I have a 2014 ATS 2.0T with Tri-coat diamond pearl phantom black paint. My main reason for not getting a ct5 is the lack of nice paints and interior design….also the ct5 350t has less power than my ATS and less fuel economy
Understandable. But, also keep in mind that even though it may have less power, it can still be quicker than it because of the 10 speed transmission and the final drive ratio. Fuel economy is a bummer though.
@@ivgarage the ct5 in my opinion does look better exterior styling but the knob and the bumbling infotainment I believe is a akin to the terrible CUE system in the older alpha chassis. I have a “stage 2” package on my ATS my wheel horsepower is 331@5400 21psi stock turbo I average in city 19.7mpg and highway I get 28.6mpg average so I’m kinda jaded and the CT5 also cannot be modified with a tune because Cadillac hasn’t released the codes
@@ivgarage I have raced a ct5-v (non-blackwing) and kept up to 130mph then my gearing was considerably slower than the CT but I’m also a 6speed automatic with AWD
@@ivgarage I’ve been able to hit 145 in a half mile race since then I have done another round of tunes and changed fuel to a E60 blend the numbers I stated earlier are current
I have the 2021 model. It's an absolutely fantastic daily driver.
They are really nice! I'd definitely have one if I could afford one!
Is it reliable?
I just bought a fully optioned '22 with 11k miles and I love it!
@@TheLatinGQhow’s the road noise with it?

Cadillac did a wonderful job with this vehicle. For 40K I think it's a good deal.
I think so too!
Just bought the 2023 CT5 Premium Luxury. Real wood instead of the carbon fiber on doors and dash front. Feels special to drive.
They are definitely nice. The fact that they use real wood is great too. I really enjoy the cars overall
Congratulations, I just Bought the same car 2023 CT5 Premium Luxury All Black
Did Your Car Come With An Highway Safety Kit?
i drive the 2011 CTS it was a gift from my grandpa
That is cool. Such an awesome gift. They are nice!
I would like to think that Cadillacs are more than a daily driver. Having said that I have a 2017 cts and is by far the sharpest car in the lot
They are pretty nice looking!
I just bought a 2023 CT5. Loving it! Can't wait til I go over 500 miles. I want to crank up the RPM.
That's awesome! It'll be fun! All 3 engines definitely run very well. When I drove all 3, the 3.0TT didn't seem to have much more power than the 2.0T, but of course the Blackwing definitely does

Definitely understandable. That 550T is pretty good though!
I got the 2021 Sport model. Amazing car just short on power for me. I've ordered a 2023 CT5-V should be here in 3 months, can't wait.
That's awesome! The CT5-V is great! My next video is on the CT4-V Blackwing if you'll be interested in the next couple of days
@@ivgarage will definitely check it out
Really nice car and is on our list of cars to consider for my wife who is looking for a new vehicle and doesn't want a SUV/CUV. I wish the 325hp 2.7L was available. I find the 2.0L doesn't have enough power and the V6 as nice as it is doesn't get great MPG.
I definitely understand that. The 2.7L would be a great option if they had it
I think the ct4 is nice looking the ct5 looks a bit to big and not as sporty. both are amazing and safe cars and often more then most other cars
I must say, " I LOVE My V"!!!!
The Vs are awesome!
Look at the seat color in the sun ☀️, I call it two tone chocolate, also the door has a area for a small umbrella 🌂 driver side following the side pocket up .
🤯🤯 I just checked the other cars on our showroom and looks like the CT4 and XT4 have it as well
What lol...I'm gonna check. Thanks 😊
I'd like to how everyone feels about the upright on the drivers door digging into their left leg. I had a 2021 out for a test drive and didn't like it(the upright) that is pressing into my leg.
Very interesting. I personally haven't noticed that. The next time I drive one. I will definitely look into that
Liked + subscribed loved the video

Between the Cadillac ct5 and Audi A3 which one is better?
That depends on your preferences. I've driven the A3, I think the A3 is quicker, also has more modding availability. CT5, unless it's the Blackwing, no modding available computer wise.

Audi are junk. I have an Older A6 I use for groceries and getting gas for the mower and always has a problem!

How do you share the photo on it

The reason some of the words I'm heading and did not coming out right
Yes it is fine to drive ask the copycat
Not the least bit interested in a so called luxury car with a 4cylinder engine made by anybody.
Fair point! Most luxury cars have at least a twin turbo V6 or a V8 like it should. They should make power!
Good, u have no idea what u are talking about. I agreed with you b4 I tried cts 2.0t. It has all the power anyone needs, but go ahead and overspend
I personally wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder cadillac.
Not your Dads 4 cyl
I like the car but not a fan of the 2l turbo
Totally understandable. At least they have different options unlike some cars

Being able to tune the car definitely makes a massive difference. That's really good though out of the ATS with that kind of power.
