I think this shifter in most of the Cadillacs is the BEST that was ever designed - I have a 2021 Envision Avenir and the "push - pull" type shifter it has is a REAL pain. After three years, I still have to look down to see what I want to select. Your shifter is the simplest one I've used - use the thumb button on the side, push it up for reverse, back out of the garage, slap the front of it to go back into drive ( button not needed ) and you're on your way. The "P" position is like it is so you don't accidentally engage it by mistake, like other shifter in years past.
Update your screen when you have time , Parked push updates, I have a same noise only at two bars when car is moving and warming up pass three heat bars it won’t do it
Have you noticed any jolts when you shift from Reverse to Drive? Mine kept doing it sporadically, took it in to two seperate dealers. One of them told me I had to get my entire tranny replaced for a new one. Had just bought the car 2 years ago and driven for 30,000kms. This was one of the many other issues I’ve had with this car. Had to replace the engine head gasket, O2 sensors, seat lumbar system, steering wheel boot, transmission transfer case unit, now the entire transmission. Only bought almost 2 years ago. Once they’re done replacing the entire tranny, I plan on getting rid of mine.
Mine is a Premium Luxury- fully loaded 4 cylinder without Supercruise. You really can't go wrong with a CT5 Premium Luxury or the Sport trim. I'm certain you will love it!
@@OkanaganAdventuresDan I don't understand why they don't use the 325HP 2.7L as the base engine or at least make it an option?? I guess they figure its too close to the V6 in power
Engine was good, the electrical system on my CT5 was not very good. The transmission gave me issues early on as well. Overall they are good cars, too much money new
@@OkanaganAdventuresDan I’m buying a 2020 or 2021 with low mileage they are very affordable, I can pick one up for around 23-25 grand thanks for the feedback, but I’m also considering the 2019 cts with the v6 I can get one for around 20 grand
Sorry, missed this reply. I worked at the dealer, never ended up fixed. Left me stranded twice in a 3 day span, so I traded it off on my Mercedes GLA35. I had a 2020, they updated the transmissions in 2023, still have issues, but they are much less catastrophic now. It wasn't the transmission that made me get rid of it though... Mine had significant electrical gremlins, nothing that ever set a code or blew a fuse, so they had nothing to go on. I've not heard of many others with electrical issues like mine had, but lots of complaints about transmissions and oil leaks. Still, it was a great car, when it worked right and it was the second nicest I've had for long drives(my new Merc has massage seats and is just that much more comfy... for a price) and it was smooth around town while being both decent on fuel and surprisingly good in parking lots. Hope you enjoy and love whatever you end up with! -Dan

I hate the cup holders, I'm in America and they are still to big lol. I added some rubber cup holders inside, it helps a little.
I will have to look into that!

Mine had issues with the shift from 2 to 3. Many electrical problems. I got rid of mine at 26 000km
You are channeling your inner-Boomer with those clip-ons my man.
Lol! Very true. I've gotten with the times now!
What trim do you have considering a ct5 premium luxury or sport in 2025 b4 they go all electric love the design of the ct4 and ct5

I'm on the fence. I have an 11 year old cts. My next caddi will have to have some power. Will this thing get up and go?
It's not the quickest off the mark, but once it gets moving, it goes just fine
Get the v6
I have a 2020 ct5 with the twin turbo V6 with 335 HP. I am so happy with it. Great power. DO NOT BUY the V4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@calwolfe3094i4, not “v4”
I don't see any point in buying this car unless you at least get the mid-range V-model with the V6. GM and 4-cylinder just don't go together.
Do you find the 2.0L underpowered?? The one I drove seemed noisy, do you find that?
Very underpowered for the size of car. The noise wasn't something I found to be annoying. All direct injection engines make too much noise anyways :)

Is the 4 cylinder turbo any good? I want to buy one but don’t know about the engine, feedback would be appreciated thanks

@@OkanaganAdventuresDan thanks for the feedback!!
They replaced the transmission on mine only at 30,000kms :(

Does the transmission shudder?
Only when it changed gears :)
Sorry to hear that man, they didn't fix it for you? And what year is that car I'm planning on getting one, but I'm scared of the transmission shudder
