    I've never seen purple soap in a car wash. Maybe Prince did it and it's purple rain.

    New CT5-5 BW owner in Durham

    I had a Corvette. Noisy. Difficult entry and exit. I had an ATS V Coipe. Essentially a 2 seat car. Back seat was unusable. The CT5 V BW put it all together.

    Congratulations. Re spending 100G for a car. My philosophy: I can spend it, or die and someone else will spend it.

    Hello from texas

    I don't know the builder. It was (probably) not his fault. The engine failed internally. I was told that the failure was associated with connecting rods and bearings. Tear down revealed metal pieces in the oil. It was factory oil, since I had not yet had an oil change. Sewell came (40 miles) to...

    Is this what buying a car is like these days?!

    Exactly. Could not have said it better.

    Is this what buying a car is like these days?!

    I have had experience with only one dealer. Sewell Cadillac of Dallas, TX. The experience could not have been better. My sales rep was a very nice young lady named Tatum Santeen. I suggest you call Sewell, and ask for Tatum Santeen in Sales. Sewell does not charge over MSRP and has a well...

    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...

    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.
