If you generally prefer a slightly firmer, more precise ride over a softer ride then you will not regret the precision package. If you are already getting carbon ceramic brakes, then changing to the precision package is not as big a jump in price.

I swapped rims on my car and it takes 10mi for the TPMS message to pop up. I did not go through the relearn process. It just takes that long for the car to display the message. So it looks like the relearn process is not working or the TPMS is not compatible with the car. I bought the TPMS...

updated graphic to include Deep Ocean Tintcoat

Good story about a Cadillac dealer who built a reputation for selling at MSRP and has become very successful. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/01/indiana-cadillac-dealers-reaping-rewards-by-offering-online-purchase-nationwide-delivery/

Great car. The Voodoo engine is so much fun. Enjoy!

Maybe in the beginning when they only offered Cup2R tires and those were scarce. Michelin seems to have figured out production and Cadillac allows you to switch to PS4S tires.

I assumed everything was self contained in the mirror. Good to know that it is more than just that. No way I am even going to contemplate changing out a bumper or reprogramming the car. I guess manual 2025 models will remain the only 5BW without blind spot detection.

I looked at the difference in parts on a 2025 vs 2026 manual transmission car. Driver’s side mirror housing: 2025 - part #42885280 $422.38 2026 - part #42885274 $427.55 Mirror glass: 2025 - part #23177535 $231.70 2026 - part #23432527 $76.38 Bezel, molding, cap and gaskets are all the...

I have not heard there is a maximum number of cars with the Precision Package that Cadillac will build.

LOL. I wish my wife wanted one of those. She likes crossovers. Currently a CX-30 and previously a Santa Fe. She does like speed so both were turbos but otherwise not super exciting.

Yep. The Golf eventually ended up with Bilstein Sport shocks once the stock shocks gave up. But they provide the same ride quality.

I have a PP car and have not driven a non-PP car to compare. But what I can say is that I do not find the ride harsh in Tour mode. It certainly gets very stiff in Track (with Sport in the middle). My wife is probably a good indicator that the PP ride (in Tour) is quite fine. She hated the...

I am old enough to remember when a package was valued at less then the total cost of the individual options. That was the allure of the package - it was a cost savings. Now they call it a “special edition” and charge you more. Ugh.

I missed the black wheel locks. Good catch. I just assumed if you optioned black lugs, you also got block wheel locks. Apparently not so. You missed the gloss block name plates ($295). So total option cost without paint is $24,960. Assuming Blue Ocean tintcoat is valued at the same as the...

$26,995 sounds like a lot. But the standard cost of all options included in the package other than paint is $24,830. So the Deep Ocean Tintcoat paint cost is effectively $2,165. That is $940 more than the cost of the Radiant Red Tintcoat paint. Assuming you would have normally ordered all of...
