#Cadillac hasn't had the best track record when it comes to a small sport sedan. However, that all changed with the incredibly fun-to-drive ATS back in 2013. Unfortunately, it didn't sell quite as well as Caddy hoped which is why they decided to replace it with the all-new 2020 #CadillacCT4 this year. Built on the same alpha platform as the ATS, the #CT4 is slightly longer and more refined. At the same time, ‪@Cadillac‬ decided to replace the old V6 with a new 450T trim which is powered by a 2.7L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, while the #CT4V makes its return but with significantly less power than the old #ATSV, for now.

Yup! I also prefer V6 to Twin Turbo. MY Toyota has 150K Miles and still running GREAT!

[@NashKetchum]

Sounds like someone who owns a Camry and is looking to validate their purchase, am I off the mark? Why else would anyone ever say "I'd rather have a Camry over X?" No one ever says this about any car. Ever. I've seen dishwashers more exciting than a Camry.

[@jbnc6200]

Love the gages I think they look amazing!!

[@ericchang5217]

Very interested in the ct5. Your review of the Camaro SS pushed me to order one!

[@KoLjabes97]

Instant like 🔥👍

[@jacobrael9872]

Outside looks really nice but I really dont like that interior

[@VPoje]

The only thing i dont like is the sound, but it can be rectified by a simple mod to the intake. This is my next car in V form.

[@A2dy]

I can't wait to see your CT5 review

[@AMPMhandle]

CT-6 = Fleetwood XTS = Devil LE CT-5 = CTS = STS = Seville CT-4 = Catera = Cimarron = Calais

[@danielgolus4600]

Kinda brutal - and wrong - on the last one?

[@AMPMhandle]

@@danielgolus4600 Probably so. More apt would be CT-4 = ATS

I think it sounds good!

[@tintocherian7715]

Please review the V Series when you do the CT5....curious about your opinion of the top of the line sedan offering from Cadillac

[@SkyFlakes00]

If the park button is on the shifter then wats that button with P on it on the left side of the steering column under the vent? @12:48

[@SkyFlakes00]

@Daniel Hernandez OOHHH im dumb loll it would've made more sense if it was in the center console. I got confused there..

[@redzoom7857]

Having lived with C.U.E. for years, it's not the monster people make it out to be when u actually live with it versus briefly testing it.

[@JL-hl2lm]

I enjoy watching your videos but as i have watched more it just seems clear that you seem to have a bias to against American cars. You never completely hate them, but you have a very negative tone towards them. For instance to say that this is not a handsome car but the A class is, is just funny. The A class exterior is not attractive at all. I do agree the interior is plain in the Cadillac, however the actual materials are not any worse. You have the same issue Doug Demuro has when he is reviewing a sedan that is not a hundred thousand dollar car, he just goes through the motions and continually discusses that it is not an SUV. He has made it clear he does not like reviewing regular sedans through his tones and actions when he has to do one. You have the same issue when you review American cars. Your tone and interest level in the review is very different, almost dismissive as compared to German cars. I drive a 3 series so I get they are good cars, it was just an observation.

[@JaredVal13]

Wow I love this Cadillac did a great job

[@SSDracerSD]

For a luxury car, I think a better base engine is a v6. Smoother. I wonder how much power people will squeeze out of that turbo with a tune.

[@windanthonystream]

After all these years and GM still can’t make a refined 4 cylinder.

[@b286guy]

717 flyer Achilles heel for sure. The turbo fours from BMW and Audi, among others, put this thing to shame.

[@ttamcc.4674]

Chevy got a good 4 banger in their Malibu 🤷🏽‍♂️. And dude unless you driven this car you can’t really know for sure if it’s bad by watching one guy talk about it

[@rydingwithryan493]

TTAMC C. Literally some of the worst 4 bangers in the industry, oil consumption,timing chain failures, pre ignition etc.

[@ttamcc.4674]

ryding with ryan well looking at my profile pic and how I described it I haven’t had a single list of the issues you claimed

[@rydingwithryan493]

TTAMC C. Awesome man, I really hope it treats you well. Oil changes every 3-5k will go a long way with most engines.

[@jaylenedurantes4379]

How do you put the front mirrors in ?

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Wish it had the 3.6 NA V6......a truck engine just doesn't belong in a Cadillac sedan

[@devn3813]

The 3.6 would be the perfect engine for this car! They could even do an n/a 3.0 version. Anything but another turbo 4

[@devn3813]

Trevon Adams not everything is about torque. Torque doesn’t win races. I’m sick of all of these lifeless torquey engines that don’t make any hp past 5,000 rpm.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

@Trevon Adams if it takes a turbocharger for a 4 pot to make V6-beating numbers, then that wee engine has a much shorter lifespan to look forward to

[@paulm6481]

If they put their base 5.3 liter V8 truck engine in this thing, I bet it becomes a good seller with enthusiast crowd. As is, take a hard pass.

[@LimiitedChans]

Why would they put that big of a V8 in a smaller car like this? Just go for the CT5 or CT6 if you want a V8.

Look at that engine bay. The 4 cylinder barely fits.

[@devn3813]

MN Mikha the question is why not? We always ask why would they do that when it would actually sell. Brands always have an excuse now when talking about a v8. No wonder cars are selling. I don’t want to have to buy a pickup truck I don’t need in order to get a v8 and I don’t want another crappy turbo 4 cylinder

[@LimiitedChans]

@@devn3813 That's why there is the CT5 and CT6.

[@devn3813]

MN Mikha there is no v8 in the ct5

[@Arbutuscoveretreat]

I like the looks...better than most

[@Stressless2023]

Me too. It doesn't make me say "wow" but it looks almost as nice as anything else it competes with to me.

[@UkrainianPunk180]

Hey Sofyan! Great review as always. I really dont know where Cadillac is going with its sedans. They need to start using Cadillac exclusive engines built for their lineups and they need/MUST build their future sedans with Escalade and Lyriq inspired interiors. I dont know if you've seen the new Cadillac Lyriq EV but that interior is on par with Mercedes from what I seen from their reveal. Looking forward to CT5 review!

[@shethjones4494]

you will not find a 100k escalade interior in a 33k entry level car. Ever.

[@UkrainianPunk180]

@@shethjones4494 I meant inspired ie interms of its styling not materials necessarily.

Joe: Loved the V60 review..who knew...a nice wagon..love the Swedish Fish!,

[@CrustyCurmudgeon]

"Why didn't Cadillac just give me a full-on digital display?" Because GM has a parts bin full of old style gauges that the accountants running the place said must be used up regardless of what the competition does or what the public wants. GM = generally mediocre in all things.

[@mybro727]

Completely delusional especially when Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Acura, Genesis, and Infiniti all use analog gauges. Why is it ok for everyone to save money except for GM? Why is General Motors always trolled when they don’t go the extra mile? I’m convinced GM is held to a higher standard than the rest and I kind of like that. But you guys sound like idiots sometimes.

[@CrustyCurmudgeon]

@@mybro727 Lack of delusion is more to the point, as it would take completely forgetting the last 40 years to not be skeptical about GM. Lack of remembering that at least four of those brands you mentioned didn't even exist 40 years ago, but GM has since lost market share to all of them due to quality, performance, and design shortcomings. Did any on your competitor list require a bailout from their government to remain in business? Another low-water mark for GM. I'll offer you the benefit of doubt because perhaps your memory doesn't go back as far, but GM has earned suspicion and skepticism thru many decades of dubious performance and market share losses due to quality, performance, design, workmanship, engineering, and poor business practices. The only idiots are the guys who squandered market leadership and allowed competition to get the better of them. GM stands at or near the head of that class.

[@mybro727]

CrustyCurmudgeon I am fully aware of the bailout GM accepted over a decade ago and *paid back* EARLY. What exactly does that have to do with how this 2020 Cadillac CT4 stacks up against it’s competitors today in September of 2020? Absolutely NOTHING. It’s completely irrelevant to the topic here and only a delusional and illogical individual like yourself would argue anything otherwise. Although I’m pretty sure every company I just named has been making cars for at least forty years, it doesn’t matter since that’s not a requirement in order to compete in the industry against more established brands. Have you ever heard of a company called Tesla? I’m gonna give _you_ the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven’t because they certainly haven’t been around for 40 years but it seems they’ve figured out how to incorporate fully digital displays into their vehicles pretty fast...therefore neither Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai/Genesis, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, Audi, nor any other Cadillac competitor gets to use that excuse if Cadillac doesn’t. You’re delusional, simply put. Are we talking about GM losing market share or are we still talking about why Cadillac didn’t include a fully digital gauge cluster as standard equipment in the new CT4? It’s the same reason Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi, Genesis, etc. doesn’t. Furthermore your rant about it being from a GM parts bin is incorrect and void. These are actually brand new gauges that debuted on the 2019 XT4. Are you able to remain on one topic or are you just like every other irrational General Motors troll kicking, screaming, and crying about how they took a bailout that Mercedes-Benz didn’t need from the U.S. government that they’ve since paid back?? Smh get a life

[@CrustyCurmudgeon]

@@mybro727 Ahh yes, personal attacks. When one runs out of debate responses, to the gutter we go! Were you not the one who stated the belief that GM is held to a higher standard than the others? All I did was raise valid examples of why anyone might be critical of them, and how they've run their business vs competitors that have and keep taking their market share. In 2000, they had about 28% of the US market. Now its about 17%. The simple fact is they're following so many other American companies who were once leaders and are now also-rans (Kodak anyone?). And that has everything to do with how this vehicle stacks up vs competitors in the eyes of buyers.

[@mybro727]

CrustyCurmudgeon Wrong. I was saying I’m convinced GM is held to a higher standard based on the way _you_ people criticize everything they do and don’t do. All the selective criticism with GM compared to many of their rivals. Cadillac’s criticized for not offering a fully digital gauge cluster and accused of playing a parts bin game when these gauges are brand new and aren’t found in any other GM makes outside the Cadillac brand. This has absolutely nothing to do with a bailout that took place back in 2008. People like you are just ignorant, don’t know the industry, don’t know the segment nor are you familiar with all the contenders that occupy this space. You’re trolling Cadillac because you’re upset with GM? You got a “2008 bailout” chocolate chip on your shoulder, it’s null & void, and I’m bored with it so Good day.
