    I own one brother you won’t be disappointed. I do recommend not going past 3,500 miles without a oil change, timing chain will thank you.

    great choice, i have a 2011 with the premium package. just keep up with the maintenance and you'll be good. it's a looker, you'll get a lot of looks and comments no matter where you go, and unlike the g37 or other competitors, you can jam out to ALL the songs about cadillacs while cruising in your own.
    also, just take all the plastic covers off the engine, you don't need them and the engine likes to overheat when it's over 95 degrees outside so you're better off without them, like you said it looks good without them anyway.

    I have had mine since brand new. My favorite car so far. Got it with 4 and currently I'm sitting at 180,000+ miles and still going strong :-) It has been my daily for that whole time. Not so much recently since I have lowered mine and now I sit about 4 inches off the ground. But still great car and surely does turn heads.

    • @TonyWestDIY
      @TonyWestDIY  Před 3 lety +1

      I got asked the other day how it drives 🤣. This one needs some love on the paint. I'll be taking care of that later on. However, it's been great so far and the MPGs aren't bad at all. It's been 2 weeks without filling the gas 😬
