I was tired last night or I would have put up a much longer review. There are so many cool tech features in it, probably a lot I didn't even know about. Like for example you could swipe your finger sideways across a stylized Cadillac "wings" button below the touch screen to quickly increase or decrease the volume. I figured that out totally by accident. I can't say enough about how surprised I was with the performance, even for the "lowly" 2.0T. I am also not sure if that particular model was equipped with the magnetic suspension or not but it definitely handled noticeably better than my car which really surprised me. I think I would have liked the car more honestly if it wasn't in such a heinous color and I don't know that I would "upgrade" to the 3.6 (the same motor in my car tweaked to get maybe 13 more hp) because the 2.0T delivers similar torque. I would guess that with a tune on that thing it would be a STOUT runner and a seriously comfortable and fun DD.
