2023 Cadillac CT4-V | 1 Year Ownership Review

We hope everyone is having an amazing day! I can't believe we've had our CT4-V for 1 year! We just wanted to bring everyone a review of how the first year has been with our CT4-V. Honestly, we are very happy with this car, it is the perfect daily driver with how comfortable it is, the All-Wheel Drive System is great in the snow and the different driving modes really transform the car.

I have a ct4 v aswell the only time I have an issue is when I see a Blackwing lol. Other then that its great i have the diamond tri coat black and have blacked out everything but left the red blue and gold caddy colors. Also have a wing and front splitter. Safe travels from Texas.

[@TwiinsGarage]

Lol. You made a great decision getting the diamond tri coat black, it looks so aggressive on the CT4V. Safe travels.

Glad to know about watching the run flat tires. My New Year started off with my dealer telling me my order had finally been given an allocation. (8 months waiting.) Production is set for the week of Feb 12th, and they are hoping for delivery the end of March. Nice to hear your reviews.

[@TwiinsGarage]

Thank you! I know that feeling lol. For the WRX I had before this car I had to wait around 8 months too. Your car will be here before you know it! You will absolutely love this car.

[@kristinazielinski3954]

I’ve opted out of the sunroof as well. Don’t regret it. Saves 300lbs. I also blacked out the orange side markers on mine. Highly recommend.

[@TwiinsGarage]

Yeah me too. I love the weight reduction factor. I should black out my side markers as well. Did you just put a piece of dark tint over them?

[@kristinazielinski3954]

@@TwiinsGarage I keep trying to reply and it gets deleted for some reason. Yes, I got the side markers done with dark tint when I got my windows tinted. I have pics of my 2024 CT4-V on my IG.

So I'm thinking about financing, would leasing be a better option for a V, I'm curious. Since the premium Luxury has the same engine and interior, tech as yours it looks like. The exterior is sportier. But between the two builds there's a 10k difference for wheels and exterior packages and you still have to add navi, cold weather, tech, etc. 51500 to 61100 seems like a big step. I'd be happy with either but 1200 per month for 48 months finance and 688 a month lease is a huge difference. Just a thought. If anyone cares to reply.

[@BeStrong4ever]

Leasing vs financing comes down to driving habits (is annual maximum mileage realistic for you) and financial situation. I’ve done both, leased and financed. While I didn’t love having no downpayment or equity at end of lease, I can see leasing appealing to get into (leasing) a new vehicle every 3 years. I would put your salesman to work have him run a complete breakdown of both scenarios, pay attention to the interest rate offered on both and term length which impacts payment.

[@kristinazielinski3954]

What winter tires do you have? Would you recommend them?

[@TwiinsGarage]

I have Kumho wintercraft tires on it right now. I haven’t had any issues with them and find them to be okay. I would recommend the Bridgestone blizzak WS90 tires, I had them on my previous car and they’re really good.

[@SatAOCars]

Wait till you get to 50k Miles, this thing just craps out for me. Mine is now at 60k and only been serviced through the dealer under warranty I’ve started to have major boost issues. Dealer replaced turbo, air filter, and some gaskets and still having a 6psi drip and almost 2seconds drip in 0-60 and the dealer can’t even figure out why because there is no codes. Before 50k never had an issue

[@TwiinsGarage]

Oh wow, that’s terrible. I’ve still got a long way to go before I hit 60k but hopefully I’ll have better luck and no issues.

[@danieljaime5035]

Do you have any ideas with after market exhaust or simply muffler delete ?

[@TwiinsGarage]

I want to get an aftermarket exhaust and I feel like this car really needs that, however I can’t find any exhaust systems made for this car lol. A muffler delete would be good too but it’s not as easy as an aftermarket exhaust.

[@danieljaime5035]

@@TwiinsGarage that’s my problem as well, I can’t seem to find any aftermarket exhausts made for this engine

[@TwiinsGarage]

@@danieljaime5035 Yeah there’s like no aftermarket support out there other than a JB4 lol. I’ve thought about the muffler delete but I want to have the option to put the car back to stock easily.

[@kristinazielinski3954]

@@TwiinsGarage I know a guy that put a JB4 in his and it voided his warranty. Not worth it in my opinion.

[@TwiinsGarage]

@@kristinazielinski3954 Oh wow really? I didn’t think it would void your warranty. Thanks for letting me know.

[@5metoo]

I want a 2025 CT4, maybe a V. I don't want a sunroof either.

[@TwiinsGarage]

It’s an amazing car!

[@5metoo]

@@TwiinsGarage - I figure I might was well hold out for the refresh to get updated bling running lights/turn signals and bigger screen in the interior. Kinda crazy because I have a lot of trepidation about those screens. I would actually prefer old-school instrumentation. It seems like they're making throwaway cars now since I'm guessing in 10 years it'll be cost prohibitive to fix stuff like that. But everyone else is doing it too, and maybe a big screen isn't that much worse in that regard than a smaller one. It is a unique RWD sedan so what the hell.

[@TwiinsGarage]

@@5metoo Yeah I totally agree! I saw the refresh 2025 in person and it looks incredible. I love how unique the car is as well.

[@GJCcontent]

Was the ct4v refreshed for 25? What were the exterior and interior changes? Where did you see it?

[@5metoo]

@@GJCcontent - I don't think the 2025 CT4 been demoed anywhere, but the 2024 XT4 did get a mid-cycle refresh and the 2025 Cadillac CT5 refresh has been shown publicly. I think he may have been referring to one of those. I assume the upcoming CT4 mid-cycle refresh will be similar with upgraded lights/turn signals and front fascia and larger screen in the dash as the most obvious things.

[@backtoshallabal6662]

would you say this is faster and funner than a stock Golf R?

[@TwiinsGarage]

On paper the CT4-V has more horsepower and torque. I have never driven a Golf R so it’s hard to say. I will tell you the CT4-V is an amazing car and it’s incredibly fast and fun.

[@mmahtnart8986]

My cheap/low life CT4-Sport has a sun/moon roof.

[@TwiinsGarage]

My car was just ordered without one. I don’t mind because it’s 300 pounds lighter.

[@mmahtnart8986]

My 24' Sport 2.0L with the Onyx Package has 19' wheels. Most V's I've seen on the Interweb and at my local dealership have 18' wheels. Go figure?

[@TwiinsGarage]

I love the 19” wheels

[@mmahtnart8986]

I'm 68 and a sedan/coupe person. I don't won't a boring Socker Mom/Grandma SUV/CUV. Hear me!?

[@TwiinsGarage]

Lol I agree. That’s why I’m driving a CT4-V

[@mmahtnart8986]

No tire dressing )-;

[@mmahtnart8986]

I'm not impressed with the "V" )-; I like my Sport with the aforementioned upgrades mine came with.

[@TwiinsGarage]

I like the V for the power upgrade but the sport does share some of the same exterior elements like the blacked out grille.

[@jaken1304]

The interior of these new Cadillacs are so awful that flat screen is the dumbest design or a luxury car. You can find that exact screen in a Ford escape. Step up your game Cadillac.

[@lostkevin8061]

Hey I had sum questions to ask ya if you got insta or sum cuz I don’t be on KZbin too much. I gotta 2019 Colorado zr2 and I’m thinking bout trading it in for a 2021 Cadillac CT5 sport or V let me know when you can!

[@TwiinsGarage]

Hey man, we don’t have ig. What questions did you have? We love our CT5-V!!
