TT:   / downshift_media   Website: https://downshiftmedia.us/ -- 0:00 Intro - BAD: 0:26 - Expensive But as tested, this thing is over $53,000…and that’s dangerously close to BMW M340i money and that car is bigger, better, and more powerful than this thing 0:56 - Missing things Things like…a sunroof you can add for extra money Auto front windows, but not rear windows A small feeling 8 inch display 1:18 - Awkward size We’ve been talking about money a lot and it is expensive, but that’s partly because it’s larger than its competitors in the BMW 2 series Gran Coupe and Audi A3 In fact, from the outside, it looks very similar in size to Paolo’s Genesis G70 But here’s the problem… Even with the added length, the rear seats are still way too small for adults And the trunk is decent sized, but not huge for the segment by any means 1:55 - Fuel economy And yet, you get 24 mpg combined and only 29 mpg highway I hate to bring up the M340i again, but that car has an engine that’s 2 cylinders and .3 liters bigger, makes way more power, uses 2 less gears, AND it gets better fuel economy - GOOD: 2:49 - Features You’ve got heated and cooled seats Heated steering wheel A fully digital cluster A HUD 360 cameras Trigger video recorder Wireless charger Wireless Car Play and AA 3:23 - Super Cruise It’s a brilliant system that will drive essentially hands-free on the highways GMs mapped out hundreds of thousands of miles of highway for the system to do its thing It’ll speed up, slow down, change lane, etc for you 4:04 - Interior Design You’ve got the cinnamon and jet black interior here which looks excellent And the design is laid out pretty ergonomically with a touchscreen AND an iDrive style wheel You’ve also got physical buttons for your climate and seat temp 4:47 - Power At the end of the day, I said it earlier, this is kind of a truck engine It’s the same engine they have the silverado, sierra, and the Colorado and Canyon So, does it feel very Cadillac? Not really. But it is super torquey It’s the 2.7T and in this tune it’s making 310 hp and 350 lbft 5:35 - Handsome And as a whole, it’s pretty handsome Your paint is one of the best things and it’s the $625 Midnight Steel Metallic I like the vert running lights grille elements are Cadillac shape 18 in Chrome wheels Chrome door handles Chrome window treatments Vert taillights Lots of rear badging - 500 newton meters..? Trunk feels weirdly bulged 6:35 - Dynamics I will say, objectively, it’s a pretty decent handler This is an ALPHA chassis car, which is a very good platform that’s RWD first Unlike the 2 series GC and Mercedes CLA This car is equipped with AWD You get adaptive damping here The steering is pretty good…as long as you’re not in Tour mode The 10 speed box is pretty decent, i dont have a problem with it in something like this And yes, the engine has lots of torque BUT it’s not perfect It’s a twin-scroll design and yet there does seem to be a noticeable bit of lag And then when it does spool you’re hit with a wave of torque - 0-60 in 5.1 sec But then it’s like a vacuum howling away at you - Odds & Ends
