CT5-V What don't you like about your CT5-V Blackwing?

^^^^ This.

This would be a worthy software update if they could make it happen.

Wonder if it’s epa related

Probably sound related. Let's just be happy we don't have CAGS skip shift. Fun fact, the fast Teslas had to have Continental* make a bespoke tire that reduced tire noise since it was failing noise requirements on the full power acceleration tests.

I dont like having to turn on the rev matching every time I turn the car on.

 

[jumpmanjay]

The blinker lever is too far from the wheel.

I keep thinking my high beams are on.

I wish I didn’t have to turn the rev match on every time I start the car.

Yep.

I'm a little disappointed with the turn radius.

Surprisingly wide compared to my ISF. Not as easy to cut in when parking in my garage. Thankfully the surround view cameras are awesome.

Here's another one- comically small side mirrors.

Picking nits, of course.

I noticed the oddly-distant turn signal stalk in my test drive of a non-BW CT4. How annoying is this exactly? Is it something you find yourself getting used to, because it struck me as very irritating during my test drive.

you don't get used to it. It's an awkward reach every time. I'm not sure people with smaller hands could even reach without removing their hand from the steering wheel

Well that's discouraging, as I don't have particularly large hands. What a dumb ergonomic misstep, like seriously, why?

clearly they had Kawhi Leonard test the ergonomics and he said it passed

I suppose they expect one to wear driving gloves all the time. That’s the best reason I can think of, so the stalk has no way of interfering with driving.

I don't notice this condition - this signal stalk - on my 4, and thought maybe it only applied to the 5. Maybe it is a GM thing? I have had 4 GM trucks in and never had the issue there either. I guess on other brands they must sit closer.

IDK if there is some sort of depth difference in the steering wheel of a regular 5V opposed to a 5VBW, but I haven't noticed any turn signal stalk issue with my 5V (coming from previous ATS).

I notice it on my 4BW, noticed it on the XT4 loaner I had. I have to stretch my hand further than on other cars. I actually keep pressing the auto high beam button by accident due to the long reach

 

[Jameson's Viggen]

I have no issues reaching the stalk from the wheel but I'm also built silly with big hands.

I just kind of assumed GM had to move the stalks to make room for the paddle shifters.

That was my assumption as well until you realize other cars have paddle shifters and stalks within reach. For what it's worth, i felt the shifters are mounted awkwardly on the XT4 as well

 

[668LT4]

Mine is a manual, maybe it sits closer. I really have no issue reaching it and never would have wondered about it had I not read it here. But again, I have had many GMs, maybe they are all positioned further out compared to other brands.

Shit, I didn't know our BW's had turn signals!! I have big hands so the next time I'm in my 5 I will look for the turn signal stalk.

You sure you don't own a BMW?

Never been able to afford one....
