Cadillac CT5 celebrates Chinese New Year with my beloved wife, my second car in life

If we say that companionship is the longest confession of love, so, love is eternal; if we say, waiting is the most eternal promise, so, love is feelings; if we say, life is the most beautiful The music, So, love is the note;? If you feel that this writing is not smooth, So, you?can?you?up. ?Although it has been rainy and sunny in recent days, it can't affect the high mood. ?Although not everyone's good mood can come from a simple box of chocolates, but I can! Hahahahaha, it’s so easy to be satisfied, so optimistic, who can save me! ?The first car in my life was a JAC Refine S3, a 14-model model with manual top configuration. I was 25 years old at the time and had just gotten married. To be honest, it had been with me for three years. Apart from normal maintenance, there were no problems at all. I bought it because of financial reasons and I was also a novice! Bought for transportation and practice. In the past two years, I have been doing business and have more funds on hand, and I am about to reach my thirties! I discussed changing to a car with my wife as a 30th-year-old gift to myself. My wife also supports me very much, saying that I should buy a better car when doing business, so that I can hold my own when discussing business! I have been paying attention to cars since the beginning of this year. I initially budgeted 200,000 to 300,000 yuan to hit the road. I have paid attention to BMW X1, Volvo CX40, Audi Q3, Caddy XT4, Lesa, etc. I also watched Lynk & Co and Jeep. I liked Lynk & Co very much at first. Yes, the promotional video was very good (it just looked a bit like selling clothes). As a result, I happened to come out of the Volvo store that day, opposite the Lynk & Co store, so I went in with my wife to have a look, maybe to see the luxury cars. When I entered Lynk & Co's store, I felt that the quality had dropped. When I looked at the car, I felt that the workmanship was a bit poor, and the door felt a bit shaken when opening and closing it. Let’s talk about Jeep. I didn’t know what kind of event I was going to catch up with on the day I went there. There were no salespeople in the room who paid any attention to us. They were all introduced to me by my parents. We looked at it for a while and then went home. Later, I saw Lexus, and it was too compact, and I felt that Lexus was not updated very much. (I forgot what model it was) it was priced at 320,000, with low configuration and no sunroof. Although imported cars are popular for depreciation, I still feel that there is no sunroof. It's almost nothing, and the salesperson also said that this cannot be installed. What I don’t understand the most is its mouse. Are you serious about swiping the mouse while driving? ?The only one I have a good impression of is Cadillac. I have a female colleague, and the girl bought the XTS as a dowry for herself. It is said to be much cheaper. However, when I arrived at the store, the salesperson said that this car was discontinued and the stock was sold out. What a pity. The model recommended to us by the salesperson was the XT4, but we fell in love with the CT5. The blue color when it was first released was very stylish. My wife had previously liked the sapphire blue of the 1 Series and was obsessed with this color. To be honest, if you buy BBA at this price, which is a mid-range or low-range model, the performance and price will not be as good as Caddy. A friend of mine who specializes in car commentary told me before that for luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, you can only buy core technology after 600,000 yuan. Nowadays, cars priced at 20,000 to 30,000 yuan are all to cater to the public and are sold to people who don’t have them. It’s played by people who want to pretend to be X. So for us ordinary people who don’t have a millionaire, we really can’t afford luxury cars, and we can’t experience their wonderful features at all. In other words, we just buy a logo to save face, and the IQ tax is higher than practicality. I went home and consulted some of my car-savvy friends, and they all said it was okay to buy a Caddy. It is the Asus of the computer world, big, good-looking, and thick. The space inside the car is flexible and the rear row can be folded down with one click, allowing the entire flat trunk to be expanded to the maximum space. I can carry large items with me both at work and at home. Overall I am very satisfied with the car and it meets my requirements. I also like to climb hills and so on, so my first choice is definitely Cadillac. . We finally chose the platinum version. Because it exceeded our budget, we took out a loan of 100,000 yuan. Although it was a bit expensive, we both liked it. It will definitely be fun to drive out in the future.

My daughter-in-law showed her face, and the warm winter sun was quite comfortable on her body.

What I like the most is the appearance of the CT5. I usually like cars with good looks (who doesn’t care about faces these days). When I saw this car in the 4S store, I thought At first glance, this appearance is simply majestic! Exquisite! Simple! luxury! personality! Fashion! It is very in line with the aesthetics of young people.

There is also the power of this car. I think that if a car is to be practical, it must look at the power. In this regard, I think the power of this car is quite good and basically meets my needs. According to the requirements, the power is quite abundant, and during the test drive, it felt very enjoyable to drive.

The only thing that bothers me is the odor inside the car. I didn’t take it seriously at first because I thought the odor in the car would disappear quickly, but in fact, the odor inside the car It has not dissipated. I originally thought that the odor in the car would disappear within a few days, but it didn't. The odor in the car was always there. I don't know why. I used air freshener to remove the odor. Using chemicals, bamboo charcoal, and opening skylights, the smell was finally removed.

I believe many people, like me, are fascinated by the domineering and leaky appearance. The first reason for choosing CT5 is to be conquered by its appearance, which is full of muscular lines. The CT5 is so domineering that many pedestrians will look at it while driving on the road. The appearance is like a small tank. The big mouth is very domineering. The appearance is leaky and rough. The whole body is full of muscle lines. The obvious lines from this end to the tail are very clear. The tail is simple and not too much modified. It is classic and attractive. .

The LED daytime running lights echo the in-line rear taillights, making the entire body more perfect.

The classic cutting design language has also been interpreted more dynamically on the CT5. The car's waistline and edges and corners appear very tough and masculine, which is very in line with my aesthetics.

When the female driver gets on the road, everyone gets out of the way! !

Just asking, does the buttocks of this ducktail spoiler stick up?

The lines at the rear are relatively simple, the T-shaped taillights echo the headlights, and the internal LED light source looks more eye-catching.

The wheels are not too small, and the tires are also thick, which gives the visual impression of being very big. Especially the rear tires can improve ride comfort and shock absorption.

The door handle is a new design, which seems to be a starlight door handle and Alpha corner design, which makes the body look more fashionable and more recognizable than other models. It can be seen at a glance that it is a luxury brand.

The rear design of the car is very grand and luxurious, and the vertical taillights in line with the family characteristics further increase the recognition of the modified model.

The small antenna on the top of the head looks like a strong blue rhinoceros.

Everyone who enters the CT5 will not feel that it is only a 300,000 yuan car. They all feel that it is at least a 70,000 to 800,000 yuan car. The entire car is wrapped with soft products and feels good to the touch. Very good, not hard at all. The layout and appearance of the interior cannot be said to be amazing, but there is nothing bad about it, it is quite satisfactory. The interior is basically dark, mostly wrapped in genuine leather, and there are some wooden decorations. It looks quite high-end in the past. It is simple and has a sense of business technology. It feels full of leather and materials, which can be felt both visually and tactilely. The central control can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Above the head is OnStar and the streaming rearview mirror, and below the head is a small LCD monitor. Immediately below are the left and right buttons, and a little further down are the buttons for the car's fan and air conditioner, etc. The most awesome thing about this car is that it has added many new technologies, such as limited-slip differential, variable suspension, wheel-increasing engine and cylinder deactivation technology, which sounds very high-tech.

The interior design is mainly concise, and the materials and workmanship used to create a loose sense of space show a somewhat avant-garde and luxurious feel.

The leather steering wheel is very light. When driving, you don’t feel like you are controlling such a large car. It is completely effortless to operate with one hand (it may be a bit heavy for women). It is not like the first one. The car is so light and unreliable, and the turning radius is much smaller than expected. It's a bit similar to a golf, so you don't have to worry much about turning around.

The genuine leather material emphasizes the simple interior style, which is eye-catching.

The wrap-around design layout emphasizes the sense of space inside the car, and the rich technological configurations greatly improve the practicality. Cadillac has indeed achieved both luxury and practicality.

10-speed automatic manual gearbox, 241P horsepower, 340 torque, CT5 throttle feedback is strong, the reaction time is almost only 0.2 seconds, accelerating steering, very labor-saving, the engine and gearbox are perfectly matched, making the control more precise , the family also finds it effortless, and can be perfectly adapted to traveling, commuting to and from get off work, shopping and picking up children.

I live in a city center. Although the traffic jams in first-tier cities are not as good as those in first-tier cities, the longest 3-kilometer traffic jam can last for 40 minutes. I was completely devastated on the viaduct. The fuel consumption was about 13 in stop-and-go traffic. Around me, I was worried about money and worried about being late, and I was really suffering. But on the expressway or highway, it is more than 9 o'clock or 10 gas to hold it steadily.

This is a car that emphasizes driving control, and it also incorporates a paddle shift design. When you want to drive intensely, you can turn on the sport mode, and the throttle sensitivity will become very high. There is strong feedback with every tap, and the steering wheel feels heavier and more user-friendly.

The door panel looks very thick, it would be nice if the storage compartment was a little bigger.

My personal requirements for space are not very high, but I think the space of this car can basically meet my needs. First of all, its main driving position has plenty of space, and there is enough space for three people in the back. No problem, I think it's quite loose, but the trunk is still a bit small. If my friends have daily travel needs, I think it can meet their needs, but if they need it for self-driving travel, it may be too crowded. . ?The storage space of this car and the size of the storage box are somewhat insufficient. If you go out to play, there will be people in the car, so the space may be relatively small. Secondly, the body material and paint are a bit thin, and it will cause slight bumps. It can easily cause some friction and damage, which I feel very distressed about.

The comfort is good, the leather-wrapped seat is firm, has a delicate touch and a good texture. The seat backrest is very wide and is in line with ergonomics. You will not feel tired after sitting for a long time. There is a lot of space and there is no sense of oppression or crowding. , the ride is also very comfortable. The middle part of the backrest in the rear seat can be folded upside down to hold a water cup. However, if someone sits in the middle, the backrest may be hard and uncomfortable because the part where the water cup is placed is convex. With the windows closed, there is no wind or tire noise. The Bose sound system is great. Listening to music quietly in the cab is like listening to a concert. You have to experience it yourself.

The seat is quite comfortable, looks average, and is well made. Especially the wrapping of the leather seats is like sitting on a sofa. I once sat in the back of a BMW, and it was like squatting on a small bench. Spending that price to buy a BBA for appearance is not as good as buying a Cadillac, although it is not as powerful as a BBA. It is famous for being a top-tier luxury car in the United States. After all, it was also the car that served the President of the United States back then, so it’s not too bad.

The trunk space is sufficient. The rear seats are folded flat and are at the same height as the trunk. In addition, the rear seats can be placed from the front and rear sides, making it very comfortable to carry large items. Once the whole family went out for a barbecue, bringing a barbecue grill, tent, and hammock, and there was no pressure at all.

Choosing a car is really a troublesome thing. If you see too much, you will be dazzled and if you see too little, you will feel guilty. On the contrary, you will be more entangled in what kind of car you want. As for the CT5, I think I will choose it. The important reason is that it looks good, is cost-effective, has strong power, and can meet basic daily car needs. I am quite happy. ?A car does not have to be expensive to reflect its value. I think the most important thing is that I like it, so I am very satisfied with choosing CT5.
