Hi this is Joe Weisenfelder cars dot com you know Cadillac isn't known for its compact cars
actually that they are known
for such atrocities as the summer out of the nineteen eighties
and with the terra
of the nineteen nineties with a terrible by the way was fixed
by supermodel cindy crawford and also
play a cartoon dot
i wish i were making that up
but now things thankfully have finally changed
because of the travel updates yet about it
this is the latest prior to picked up the ability of three series which is the
pain of the segment
uh... and it does so in a similar fashion there's an emphasis on handling
and even the engines are a similar approach for example this is the three
point oh leader
four cylinder for what's right with the above you report it
are are like free-spirited self as a more powerful and bye bye
this one also comes with a base engines two point five leader
four cylinder without the turbo
a higher engine which is a three point six liter v six i definitely think at
this one were to be the perot is going to be the volume seller edits absolutely
the bath water
the two point note t
bottles deal with offer a manual transmission six p
uh... i respect that elect for having it but i'm not
very creative operated about it
um... it's partly because
the engine doesn't lose resurrect quickly so when you're up shifting
there's some popping any number of things because that
uh... perhaps the ratios art close enough
uh... or there's a massive fly wheel the engine keeps it from coming down
generally not that well done
i don't usually say this but i think the automatic is a better option
it is a six b dot americans available in this
and the higher lower trip
clear sixty with a to point out the is less than six seconds of absolutely
respectable
incomparable
to the three twenty eight hours
are trained to do it
uh... but when the high point for the a_t_f_ is absolutely the headline
uh... blood they say it because the city asking about about the decade ago
i do really set a new standard for cataract in terms of dr ability
nothing else to people about what system has from what until now
the sky was developed on the bus race tracks in the world
uh... it is
unflappable at high speeds
good steering field great pride and and that's the two point noti i see no
reason to get the three point six meters
partly because
feels more knows heavy for me
or really doesn't shave a few handsome second
off zero to sixty times
article says
something of a growing so at highway speeds
they'll be when the extra money
but generally speaking the interior
uh... comfort and quality
much closer to the best in this class
the approach here is similar to what you find in the newly redesigned three
series sedan
you get different from levels with different approaches
uh... to the interior styling of their more conservative
trend versions and then this the premium trim level in this car has real aluminum
is great to see in a car like this because again of the best competitors
genuine materials like that there's even the studies pattern on it i'd like at
some of our editors arms crazy about it
um... overall high quality
they shoes of piano black finishes and then there's the standard
q
system that's catalan user experience
the queue system has one
maynard
to it but i think makes it better than some of the other systems out there as
attached re
when you talk shit you actually feel also kept our calls
as confirmation when you have uh... make contact
they also have these buttons here which art real mechanical bugs their touch
sensitive
capacitive but which i just don't like it definitely helps me to give that paul
so you have the feedback
but i don't see any reason that continues regular but
uh... one of the other big advantages to q is it senses when your head near so
for example with the map the way it is right now you get the full use of the
screen and it shows you just what you need when you reach closer to it
that's when the extra buttons come up
uh... so it helps
keep from distracting you in normal circumstances and gives you full use of
the screen
fell so some other neat little touches like
a storage space back here with a usb jack
uh... it's just one of those little uh...
what they call supplies and the like
that people's tend to take it
the eighty s
that seat has about and his left leg
than three series
and about it it's less subgroup
but it works for me
pretty well at six feet tall
helps at the front seat of a lot of travel so and come back pretty far
uh... at the driver needs it but it
deepti
all the way back
of the three series sedan was redesigned
for twenty wealth so even though this is an all who twenty thirty
but this is still like
b_m_w_ better
it's partly because of their execution of the manual for this and and
there are about it which is that it's pete it's performed for the better
good for mileage as well
but there's no doubt whatsoever
finally cadillac has a car that fits in oakland bass
compact sport sedans on the market
