    Hello from texas

    I had an ATS-V Coupe. Nice little car. Emphasis on "little". It is a 2 seat car. The back seat is useless. Entry and exit are very difficult. Once in the back seat, the single occupant has to sit sideways. I suspect the Sedan would also be cramped in the back seat. Great performance. Just...

    Hello from texas

    Ok. Then go for it. The ATS -V was a fun car. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that if you get a coupe,, it's a 2 seater. I have a 22 CT5V BW. Also a nice car. The license plate says 0260N4S. Because it will.

    Hello from texas

    The ATS is a nice little car. The Coupe is a 2 place car because the back seat is, for all intents and purposes, unusable. Almost impossible to get into the back seat and if you do, you have to sit sideways. I had one and as a 2 seater, it's ok. But it's not a family car. I recommend the CTS or...

    It would mean getting on a plane and flying somewhere. After 40 years of boring holes in the sky, (8 years AF. 32 years airline, I will fly again no more forever.

    3/28/23. I got my 5BW back today, 3 weeks after the engine failed. The engine had come apart on the inside. Connecting rods, bearings, etc all trash. Metal pieces in the oil. Starter burned up. Battery beyond recharge. Sewell Cadillac installed new engine, starter, battery et al. Alls well that...

    Potential BW4 Owner

    The CT4 BW is a nice car. Some dealers will ask for MSRP + 5000. If that happens, find another dealer. Sewell Cadillac of Dallas TX does not add to MSRP. Good luck.

    Enter Sandman

    For anyone following the saga of my 22 5BW engine failure. The driver bringing it to me today, noticed that the AC was not making cold air. Delivery was aborted. A return to Sewell maintenance revealed a broken compressor drive belt. The adventure continues.

    Greetings! Soon-To-Be CT4-V Blackwing Owner!

    My test drive was after I delivered the Cashiers check, and drove it off the lot.

    Greetings! Soon-To-Be CT4-V Blackwing Owner!

    I know nothing about any Cadillac dealers other than Sewell of Dallas. Sewell does not charge over MSRP. Sales and service staff are top notch.

    Zero for 1, regretting selling V3

    Roger on the quick turnaround. The engine failure event was March 5. Next Wednesday will be 3 weeks, if I get it back then. However I am a follower of the great philosopher Yogi Berra, who said "It ain't over till it's over."

    Zero for 1, regretting selling V3

    I don't know if "Big Daddy" means a CT5V BW or something larger. I had a Cadillac ATS-V Coupe which is a little smaller than a CT4V BW. It was a great 2 place car. The back seat was completely useless. Almost impossible to enter or exit and one person could ride in the back seat if they sat...

    New '23 4BW Owner

    Sewell is a class operation. I purchased a 22 10A 5 BW from Sewell. My sales representative was a lovely young lady. Sewell would not let me keep the red ribbon bow or the young lady. 😩

    CT5-V Engine failure

    The BW initial acceleration is greater than a typical airline aircraft. I did not fly any aircraft with afterburners but I understand their acceleration would exceed the BW. The Boeings I flew had reasonable acceleration but the BW (0 to 60 in 3,5 seconds) is a little better. (I was a B-52...

    CT5-V Engine failure

    Yogurt. I hope they are distressed enough to find out the cause. I was very fortunate that my engine failed on a semi rural road and I had a convenient place to coast to a stop off of the road. If I had been on the interstate or in a high traffic area, at the least it would have caused a traffic...

    CT5-V Engine failure

    Very interesting. I really appreciate all of the feedback I’m getting. As bad as I hate to say it, one of you might be next. In this case, misery does not want company.
