2018 Cadillac XTS

Album created by William Maley · Updated June 19, 20179 yr

The 2018 Cadillac XTS received a mid-cycle refresh that brought a bolder front grille, revised LED lighting signatures, and updated interior materials to Cadillac's full-size flagship sedan. Power came from a standard 3.6-liter V6 or an available twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6, with front- or all-wheel drive configurations across the Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Platinum trim levels. These press photos show the refreshed XTS in both exterior and interior configurations, highlighting the design and technology updates for the model year.

A bit of old school ICE goodness to offset the electrical and Hybrid content here.

Mileage may complicate lease for him, and I don't like leasing, they hold all the cards on returns with wear and tear and what they can subjectively consider excessive. I can satisfy the beat on. One practical idea-buy a Maverick Hybrid. LOTS of happy owners. We ALMOST pulled the plug on one when I bought the Camry. VERY impressed with what Ford did with that, and they seem to be reliable and durable.

I'll look into it, but no issues that I've heard. The only thing I've heard is common with most direct injection engines and that is carbon build up. The GM 2.7T like to get beat on. Don't baby it. Blow that carbon out of there.

Actually one car that has grown on me, would consider if I didn't need a truck for the next one, is Ford Mach E. More $ than Bolt, but larger, better looking, more practical. I actually really like these. Actually, I would prefer something EV from the ground up. You have me curious about smaller KIA/Hyundai EV products. My wife wanted hybrid so we went Camry, but interested in Kia EV.

I would honestly like to know about the turbo 4 in the Colorado and Canyon, if you could enlighten me. We replaced our Chevy Aveo (22 years old!) with a new Camry Hybrid. VERY happy with it. Still use my truck as a truck all the time, hauling lumber, logs, bicycles, tools, etc. Would be VERY interested in the Colorado or Canyon, would also consider the current (refreshed from my 2020) Ranger as well as Tacoma. Toyota fanboi's not hugely excited about Turbo 4 in Tacoma, unsure of GM Turbo 4 reliability. The Turbo 4 in my Ranger has been fantastic, 24.2 MPG last tank, 136,000 miles no real issues. Regards, Chris Even at 12 grand, to me buying a Corolla Hybrid at 2x the price would make sense just because I really don't like the abandoned tech. Also, every Volt owner I know had gas start going bad in the tank because they used so little gasoline. Used Volt OTOH, cheap, and much newer tech. With technology in modern cars, I doubt very seriously I buy a car over five years old again, unless it is like a 50's/60s/70s vintage hobby vehicle. They do look cool.

First Gen Volt is abandonware, yes. Your situation actually sounds ideal for a short-term commuter scooter, mostly because Volts can be had so cheap. On a long commute like that, you'd be into the gas sometimes and into the regen part of the way on the trip and still getting 45 mpg when on gas. If you can charge at both ends, even better. The way you commute you really could take acquisition costs in mind because whatever you get is going to have to be considered disposable. What makes it key though is cost. You can get a 2016+ Volt with 60k miles for like $12,900. You'd end up with a $300/m or lower payment and that like 2.5 Navigator fill-ups. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/783656429?makeCode=CHEV&marketExtension=include&mileage=70000&modelCode=VOLT&numRecords=25&sortBy=relevance&zip=15201

Wouldn't a Volt fall into the same category of abandoned-by-manufacturer vehicles though? I'm also not sure how I'd feel about going hybrid and completely charging and completely draining the battery every day. I feel like that would degrade the battery quicker and then I'm still relying on gas, albeit a very small amount. About 10-15 miles worth, if the online estimates of highway EV range are accurate of 40-45 miles of highway EV range. I drive 60 miles but it isn't all interstate speeds so I think the drive to the interstate wouldn't be too inefficient for an EV(about half the drive - I should actually get the exact mileage breakdown as I'm curious now). Of the 30.2 miles to work, 12.4 miles is a two lane 55mph road. There are a couple intersections within that where I'd stop and regen a bit, but not a ton.

I would tell you to stay away from both the E Golf and Focus E. They're basically abandonware by their manufacturers. You'd have to go into it with the attitude that any powertrain failure could total it. The Volt 2016+ could be an interesting option as a commuter because they're dirt cheap

Then a part of me just says save up and wait a couple years for a new Scout. They're big enough to replace the Navigator, they're all electric (I have no interest in the range extended ICE hybrid version), and they look freakin cool.

My only issue with the Bolt is... have you looked at them? I'd consider a Leaf if I didn't care at all what it looked like. The Bolt isn't completely out of the running, but I'm not sure if I can get over how it looks.
