Thursday on KFYO Mornings with Dave King and Matt Martin, The Car Pro Jerry Reynolds joined Dave King and guest host Matt Crow to talk about his test drive of the week, buying Broncos online, what to do if your car gets egged on Halloween, as well as other auto industry news...

The accident occurred at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, at the intersection of Spur 327 and West Loop 289.

"I was pretty happy with the price, but I was very happy with the vehicle itself," Jerry said.

"I really wasn't looking forward to this car, and after spending the last 3 days with it, this car is fantastic, especially for the money," Jerry said.

Jerry started by saying, "I'll tell you, Cadillac figured out that they had a real hole in their lineup." He explained that the XT4 model is a small luxury SUV, and the XT5 is a midsize SUV, but the XT6 fills the hole of what they were missing with a stretched frame, longer wheelbase, and a third row seat, which Jerry says is surprisingly roomy.

"It's got a lot of power when that turbo kicks in," Jerry explained.

The XT5 drives well, has 310 horses, gets good gas mileage on the highway, and has lots of cargo room in the back. The only thing Jerry does not like is the mandatory start-stop system. "If there's anything about this thing that I do not like, it is the fact that it's got the start-stop system, and you cannot disable it, and so you're stuck with it. And boy I'll tell you what, it really gets annoying," Jerry explained, going on to say, "For me, as much as I like this thing, that would be a deal killer." Seeing as the 2017 model had a start-stop system that could be manually disabled, Jerry recommends a used 2017 model for anyone who has concerns.

"I'll you you, this thing, when you get on it, it is just a monster," Jerry explained.

"This one has got a ton of cargo area. You have to kind of think of this as a luxury suburban," Jerry said.
