Re: XTS AWD in Graphite Metallic

Thanks. It drives like a dream! This is the Luxury model. AWD with NAV and the vibrating seat package.

@wthomas33: Congratulations on your purchase, really nice looking car. What are your overall impressions of the XTS, so far? I've heard some pretty polarizing opinions of the vehicle, on this site...

 

[wthomas33]

I have had DTS's, Devilles and El Dorado's in my past and the ride of this car is smoooooth! The suspension is way smoother than the 07 DTS that I traded in. Also, the soundproofing on the XTS is unbelievable. It is so quiet inside the cabin. The quick ratio steering makes it a pleasure to drive.

Before you listen to anyone tell you otherwise about the XTS, go take a test drive. It convinced me and I was not sure that a V6 could perform like my old NorthStar.

It is plenty peppy!

The high tech stuff I am still figuring out. Not that its difficult, it just takes time. The iPad it came with has some great apps to learn from.

I appreciate the response, wthomas33. A test drive is definetely on my to-do list for the month of August...

Premium, w/sunroof, compact spare and power rear manual rear window sunshades. Two weeks old. Average 18mpg on first tankful with lots of idling to configure various personal settings.

 

[harrysstsv]

Awesome looking car, as I see you owned an STS with the same engine, does the V6 feel smoother in your new XTS? Fuel economy should be about the same.

Harry

 

[marathonman89]

Thank you. Car does feel smoother, but I think to some degree it has to do with it being a tighter build and quieter in the cabin. MPG seems to be a bit better than the 2008 STS.

 

[harrysstsv]

Is the Inteior on yours the "Caramel with Jet Black"? I knoe the exterior is Black Raven.

The int. looks good on a dark car!

Harry

 

[marathonman89]

Correct about the interior. I was thinking of a simple mod to the wheels for $40 at eBay. Any thoughts from anyone?
