finally someone did a good job reviewing this car thx
You are so very welcome!
First review I have actually seen on the CT4. Only expect the best from Joe though.
@@RaitisRides joe does it comes with magic rear view mirror
Does really smooth mean slow?
Joo Usama @Raiti’s Rides always does great reviews..the main person i watch reviews from..
Man, I love the exterior stylings of the new Cadillacs. At this price point I'm seriously considering getting this car in the future. Thanks for reviewing it, Joe!
I am so glad that you like this one!
Jesus, what about your Honda Accord?
Just my opinion but this ugly
very classy car. I love that waterfall light feature in the front too
You have very good taste! ;-)
“iPhone 27” 😂😂
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
You can tell they just put on the tire shine, it's all over the floor haha
Good eyes! LOL I wanted her to look her best!
Joe Raiti, I noticed that too the tire shine on the ground the CT4 looks nice but I feel that when you put a Turbo charge on a 4 cylinder engine it puts a lot of strain on 4 cylinder engine and no sun roof but like always Thank You for posting take care.
Yeah.... it kinda reminded me of the movie Coming to America when Darryl's family gets of the couch and leaves Soul Glo marks after them.... :) :) :)
On a serious note, tire shine is the worst product to put on tires, it dries the rubber, and after some time you'll see small cracks in the tire.... not good!
V12S65AMG You gotta use the good stuff. They make tire shine that’s much healthier for your rubber now.
@@RaitisRides off topic, the 340i will eat up the CT4 V
All your videos have so much information explaining what the car has. More than any other Cadillac site on CZcams. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you Joe for continuing to work during these difficult times brotha....
Wow! Another one today! Awesome work guys! Love it! Keeping us entertained in these difficult times! Thanks Joe and team!
You got it William! You deserve the best and I want to bring it to you!
As a Cadillac Salesman, your reviews definitely help me take my vehicle walkarounds to the next level. Thank You! And keep up the great work!
They're really nice cars.
They should get rid of the fake vents and replace them with LED fog lights.
Those vents turn real when you upgrade to the supercharged versions but yes led fog lights would look amazing
When I think of Cadillac I think of a big gas guzzling V8 so 25 to 35 MPG sounds fantastic
@@markj9544 oh well then nevermind that sounds way better 😅
They still have those too! ;-)
@@markj9544 That's really good!
Ford put 300 ponies in my V-6 Mustang for about $10K less. I think Cadillac uses active cylinder management in their V-6's. More stuff to break.
Yep and The new F-150 has it too.
I like that you tested the base model. Not enough reviewers do that.
I just bought one and I am off the wall surprised at its handling and ride. My wife and I love the car. I traded in a Beautiful 2003 Corvette and that was my dream car.
I love how you review cars with the constant mind of where your snacks are going to go!
Thank you for giving this car a solid and honest review Raiti, you wouldn't believe the unwarranted criticism it has been getting from some of the big names on CZcams. Makes you wonder why most of these reviewers don't have disclaimers that they weren't paid for their opinions.
Ive been waiting on this video ever since ive heard of this car THANK YOU BRO
I’ve watched hundreds, if not thousands, of different car reviews over the years and I absolutely think that this channel is going to be up there with the likes of Doug DeMuro. Also just read that you raced professionally and I think that is awesome. I know it might not be your thing but I know I’d love to see more content about your own life, cars, etc. Either way I love the content and I think you’ve found a great niche for yourself. I also love this new Cadillac!
A buddy of mine had the ATS-V. That was a fantastic car. Can’t wait to see this V !!
This car is so underrated its not even funny but I do love the cts-* cars because they are fast and fun to drive
Thank you joe for this review
I totally agree with you Milton and you are so very welcome!
I got my eye on the CT4 or the XT4, either of in black. Now I'm heading back to your XT4 reviews. Thanks Joe!
No drama from your baby's Mama!! Love it! Great review Joe. Thanks for the smiles today!
Very neat and tidy engine layout... very accessible to a trained mechanic.
It has the cool look.
Maintenance is quick and nimble able.
You are so very right about that!
"There's was no drama... coming from your baby momma"
How is nobody talking about this 😂
Thought the exact same thing, 😂
For real i was looking for someone to mention that lmfao
10% increase in your subs since your milestone 200k Congrats brother! Here's to hitting the quarter!! You'll be there by June / July I'd say
Stay safe with you and yours mate 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Wow! Really cranking out the reviews Joe!! I’m grateful for them being cooped up at home all weekend!
I’m impressed with the $36k price! Finally a car I can afford new!
I like your reviews! So much better than Redline Reviews, in my opinion. Very informative. What's best is you get to test out their capabilities with dynamic driving.
We can always count on you to give us the first review 🙌
Thanks man for saying that!
Just drop the corvette v8 engine into it and it'll be perfect
Now we are talking!
Dennis Feng Lol. That would be insane and I wonder if people could handle that kinda power in such a small RWD package.
Gas falling to 99 cents, yes needs a v8, also a Malibu SS version.
Id prefer a version of the Blackwing
Great video keep up the work
Nice review Joe ...
Awesome review video! Thank you!
You are so very welcome Katie!
Great review. I sat in one and found it really cramped, but I like how it looks though.
Good materials and features at this price point. Nice upscale everyday luxury. Excellent review, as always!
I am so glad that you liked this one. I appreciate your input and support Daryl!
Well done Joe. I agree with your points.The only miss for me, and minor one, is the font used for the gauges. They look like they belong on a Chevy. Otherwise, I see a lot of potential here. On paper it's down power. I don't know if it is slower than the competition and, if so, by how much.
They are going in the right direction with this one.
I've been looking at Caddy, I'm kinda liking their styling lately ... Might look into the CT4-V ...
Love the new Cadillacs, awesome vid as always 🤟
That color looks nice in that Cadillac. 🙂Looks spacious too.
I totally agree!
You might remember I drive a ATS4 (AWD) Performance V6, so I’m not crazy about a 4cyl. turbo. I do like the looks and that there’s a little more back seat room. Mine has magnesium paddles not those little plastic ones. I’m looking forward to your review on the CT4V when it’s available. Nice review! Stay safe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Great review Joe
Thanks man!
The turbo actually sounds good. And the Highway fuel economy is pretty good for daily driving. I would get the premium luxury though, because that comes with a few of the features I like as standard.
I love this car! Great review! 🔥
CT4 Is a lot better than I expected. Great review as always.
Great review. I bought a CT4 2.0t to replace my 2016 ATS 2.0t. I loved the ATS but the CT4 improved on so many items. I like the rwd drivetrain. Back seat room is a bit cramped but I really don't need it. Very underrated car. Honestly, I like that there's not tons of them out on the road. Why drive a vanilla, boring Accord or Camry which are the same $$?? I've driven Cadillacs since the 1980s. Overall everyone I owned has been a great, reliable automobile. Even in the 80s with the dreaded 4100 motor I only had 1 Cadillac that needed major engine warranty repairs. In my case Cadillac has always stood by their products & so has the dealership.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts from your experience!
I’m think about saving for one and you have really convinced me into it,
Thanks for a great review. How would you compare the driving dynamics in the CT4 with the Accord 2.0T sport?
A stale bagel 😂. That was a good one joe
Great initial review, thanks... Wouldn't be at all confident a fully digital display is coming with higher trims, however...
I remember Dimmitt Cadillac in Clearwater, Florida which is on US Highway 19. I lived in Clearwater, Florida from 1988 to 1994.
That is really cool Doug! It is such a small world.
I have always had a loyalty to Buick, but the new Regal doesn’t cut it for me. I’ve never really wanted a Cadillac, but. this one has my interest, and your review will have me heading down to my Cadillac dealer here in Ontario. Thanks for providing so much information!
Great review. I like this one!
I hate the fact the people compare the CT5 to the 3 series and C-Class when its literally the size of an E-Class and 5-series and the CT4 is the one that competes with the 3-Series and C-Class because not only are they sized similarly but also it is replacing the ATS which competed with the 3-Series and C-Class
Awesome video!! Gorgeous Cadillac, but where’s the wood Cadillac?!?!?😱😱
Love it, man. Awesome review, Joey R. :) JV Johnny
Marvelous car, and yet another great review Joe !! At 36 grand, what a steal.....
Thanks man! I totally agree with you!
A record 4 zonks given on the rear badge ! That was classic.
I didn’t even know Cadillac made the ct4. Great review!! I would love to see a review on the ct5 :)))
Joe already reviewed that one too. Another great review. I personally like the CT5 a little better.
Nice tasteful styling. Nothing too risque on the styling front. Seems quiet and well finished. It's not blowing me over yet, but more ambitious versions are on the horizon. At least Caddy hasn't abandoned the sport luxury sedan.
Damn, a RWD platform in this (subcompact) class is rare.
Finally, a caddy in my price range. Love the styling in and out. I would get this CT4. -:)
I like the way all of these CZcams car reviews open up the hood to show you the engine. It's like I really like the car but I have to see what the engine looks like before I commit.
So is this sub-compact that competes with cla/2series GC/A3 or compact sedan that competes with C-class/3 series/A4
Handsome car!!! Looks to be a good balance between being fun to drive and comfortable.
Thanks Joe! That was fun! It's interesting how Cadillac has sized it's new cars. They're like "tweeners". The CT4 is a bit bigger than the 2 Series, but smaller than the 3 Series. The CT5 is bigger than the 3, yet smaller than the 5. I'm just glad they got rid of that awful Que system! This is a really nice car at a really nice price!
is the ct4 smaller then the 330i. really it doesn’t seem like it is from the outside.
How much longer for a review of the 2.7 lt turbo? Thats the 1 I'm waiting for... I'm digging these new cadillacs..👍
Love this video!! Made me laugh with all the snack and baby momma jokes 😂😂
Thanks for letting me bring the laughs and cars to you!
If you could do a review on the Cadillac CT6 Platinum 4.2 tt and the CT6-V it would be great! I would love to see the difference between the 2 models.
What a superb car...headturner...classic Cadillac
Good looking car with a decent price tag..nice. Stay safe bro.
I like the smaller grill. Hopefully this will become a trend with other car companies. The big grills are ridiculous.
Nice Joe, but i want (2 doors) and (3 pedals), No i'm gonna keep my (911 and M2) for a while longer.....and what about re-sale value down the road ? Great camera work by Lori !!!!
Good call! Thanks for giving Lori a shout out!
The rear seating needs a slight concave look spinal back part design so that the entire rear seating arrangement appears more roomier and you "sink" at ease in a positive sense as a manner of speaking. It would mean that the luggage room in the back has to sacrifice an inch of the space though.
Spare tire, donut tire, fix a flat or tire pump? And, what's the ground clearance?
Very good review 👍🏻👍🏻 give that man a Twinkie
Cadillac did great job on CT5&CT4 models. They are gonna be strong competitors of Germany's.
Would you pick this over an Acura TLX 2.4 ?
Nice review. Nice looking car. I wonder if a lower price point just below Mercedes and BMW could help sales?
This actually seems like a really good deal 👌 I like hearing that it's quiet and smooth a Cadillac has to me quiet and smooth
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one! I appreciate you always commenting!
Cadillac makes a beautiful car. I just bought a new 2023 XT4 mini SUV. Nice car and gets decent gas mileage.
Thanks for the review. BTW, what kind of watch are you wearing--I"m a watch guy too.
Thanks Rich. It's an Invicta! I appreciate your awesome support!
A brand with so much history as a Luxury brand. An American competitor of the luxury car market
Great video & I love the new Cadillac CT4. It's nice to see you dress the part.... a lot of others look a mad mess.... Just saying is all! And just wondering.... Where did the Twinkie talk come from?
The Letter and Number badging crap, Cadillac started a few years back, is, "definitely", quite confusing! 🙄
Definitely, looks entry level, rental look, for a, "Compact", luxury car... Thankfully they're keeping up with edgey lines in the body, and not softening them up like M-B, is starting to do in 2020.
Positive, it's RWD! Your feedback on the road test, was better than I expected.
Performance trim levels, on all their vehicles. Is where they'll, "Shine", IMO!
I'm holding out for the CT6, "Blackwing"! 😳 LOL!
1) If I can get a hold of one...
2) If I can get financing, insurance, and pay for better roads to drive it on! 😵
Great review, and hello to the total eclipse, Tom! 👋 🏁🏁
I hate blank buttons in luxury cars. But overall, this looks good! The exterior is gorgeous
I think the premium luxury ct4 with the detuned 2.7t might be the car to get. It has the power advantage and I believe it's a 3 or 4k upcharge to this ct4.
At first I thought it looked different, but looking at it here it looks exactly like the ats lol. Maybe a mild refresh
It's all new my friend.
It is close for sure, but a little more smoothed out in some areas and way more contemporary in the interior. Overall a much better execution imo.
It’s a completely different body with different dimensions than the ATS.
DC that’s what they want you to think
Very good specs for a comfort tuned 2.0 turbo, 350n•m of torque in an executive rear wheel drive sedan... sounds delicious
Finally, a car designed with all my twinkies in mind. Great review 👍
Anyone know if you can run the 2.0t on regular gas and what the HP/torque would be reduced to.
Beautifully appointed for only being the Luxury trim, but I wonder with the decrease in HP and torque from the ATS 2.0T, does the new CT4 2.0T feel slower??
The back/Trunk area has a bit of a "Bangle Butt."
I HATE THAT!! honestly that’s the worst part of this car. It looks like a Honda Accord from the back
Seriously thinking about trading in my Accord for one of these... probably the ct4 v tho
Haha gotta love the zonks for the gimmicky letters
Not bad for an entry level luxury sedan. Though it's still under the GM umbrella - so you'll want that extended service warranty if you plan on owning this long term (And trade it in once paid off and the the warranty is up)
Sup joe. Like you those seats are too light if a color. In my opinion. If they switched the top colors on the dash to the seats and lightened up the dash would be nice. And good for the heat to have light colors on the dash
I think for looks it’s better then everybody else
Great video, Joe! First CT4 review outside of car show footage I've noticed. This CT4 is *100 percent* a better luxury and sports sedan than the BMW 2 series. I'm actually a BMW fanboy, but the 2 series is FWD based and looks bloated and bubbly. No bueno.
I totally agree with you! Thanks for letting me bring it to you first!
Um...the 2 series is based on the 3 series and is therefore rear-wheel drive.
@@jplew138 Yeah the old one is RWD. The 4 door one is FWD based on the F40 platform. And the title of this video is clearly comparing 4 doors.
Will AWD be an option on the CT4?
“I definitely am going to zonk these letters. That’s one, two, three, four zonks.” LOL.
Great review! Raiti, do you think the CT4 base model is a bit sportier than the CT5 base (which was tuned more toward comfort than the prior CTS)? Also, I would think this 2.0T is more appropriate for power/weight ratio than it is in the CT5.
p.s. You should note that the grill texture is made up of tiny little Cadillac crest logos!
Wow this car is amazing!!
I am so glad that you like this one!
Gotta wait for that CT4 V! I wanna hear that supercharger whine lol 🔥🔥🔥
Ayyaz Mahmood pretty sure it’s gonna have a turbo I4 😕😢
I can't wait for that one as well!
@@stilljt2864 No way
J T Nope. The top range V will most likely have a twin turbocharged V6 engine. But only time will tell. Even the CT4-V with the turbocharged 2.7L 4 cylinder will be a blast to drive.
Its getting a 2.7L i-4 I believe
Imagine someone spilling drinks on those seats
