( www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2013 Cadillac ATS is one of the most surprising cars that we've tested this year. Could it be that ATS stands for A Total Surprise? The Cadillac ATS competes with some of the best and most popular small and sporty entry level luxury cars sold today and that includes the BWM 3 series, the Mercedes-Benz C Class and the A4. Any of these three might easily win the TFLcar Annual 10 Ten Most Fun to Drive Car designation. And now we can add the 2013 Cadillac ATS to this list of fun, fast and favorite cars. The Caddy ATS is a total surprise because of just how good it really is to drive. Check out this exclusive TFLcar video review as we test out Cadillac's smallest and most fun to drive car.

Best thing about the ATS: it's getting great reviews and will hopefully be down in my price range (used) when I'm ready to buy a car in a couple of years. I'd probably go for the turbo version. After watching 20+ of your videos today, I have to say I really enjoy the laid back (very colorado) feel. You're also getting better with production quality and flow. I still think the videos could be trimmed down just a bit (I think people are looking at the 5-minute mark, but I'm sure you know better.)

Great review...I bought my wife one of these, sans CUE...I agree with Nathan that it is probably the best looking 4 door sedan on the market.

This will be a classic car in the future for sure. The CTS saved Cadillac from death, while the ATS made it a star... lets wish for more amazing things from Cadillac.

As always I enjoy your reviews. A few things I want to note...the Cue...good point about it being new and having bugs and also the touch sensitive buttons. Two, should have reviewed the 2.0T, I think it's a better engine...especially for those who want to do some aftermarket performance work to it. Three, it's nice being 5'7" in comparison to your heights. No issues fitting front or rear.

Grate review. GM has been dogging rear seat room on almost all of its entry level cars of late. I love this car but both the A4 and the 3 have now become slightly larger cars on the inside. When they drew up the ATS it was right with the competitors in size. Now it is the Baby. Wonderful Car. Keep the "Q" please.

Thanks guys. As always an entertaining video review. Here is some "Christmas feedback" to Roman... Although you gave the ATS a "Buy it" rating, your only really positive comment on the car was the styling. Some additional commentary on why you gave the car a Buy rating would bring more depth and insight to the review. Ultimately isn't that the purpose of these videos? Or is it just to see if Nathan will fit?

definitely nicer looking than the 3 series for sure. and i agree about the cue system; i still like having physical buttons in my car. the other day i had to get something out of my dad q5 and the power lift gate wouldn't open when i pushed the button on the latch. that kind of stuff is why i'm thankful to still have a mechanical latch on my old car :).

Hello TFLC. I realize that your video is a few years old, but before the end of 2017 I am strongly considering buying a used ATS. I'm 6'3 and not concerned about back seat riders but comfort for me behind the wheel as well as getting in and out with reasonable ease. Any remembrance of how that was for you? Thanks for the video. Eric, Indiana.

cepc: I bought a ats with premium pkg and 3.6 eng. in black, a 2013 2 yrs ago and this car is awesome with the magnetic shocks, brembo brakes, electronic limited slip differential, and heads up display for 26500. it does 5,2 in 60 and I can do donuts all day long on dry pavement or drift a country road, this is one serious performance car. Also no problems mechanically at all, and I bought the car with 28000 miles on it and it now has 44000. You won't be disappointed when you remember this car sold at dealer for 50000 dollars.

@jjuhring 11 жыл бұрын

One more comment to Roman and Nathan, and to everyone confused about the 0-60 time in Denver. At 1 mile above sea level, a normally aspirated engine makes 20% less power than at sea level. Therefore the ATS is down over 60HP. This translates to approximately 1.5 second impact on the 0-60 time.

@fatboy19831 11 жыл бұрын

Do you have the 2013? It has more rear seat room. I am 6.5 and I have always considered the 3 and the A4 to be 3 seaters at best. My Celica could seat 4 more comfortably. So unfortunately if I am looking for fine German driving entertainment on a budget the Q5 or the X3 are my options. That is if I want to seat 4 from my family.

@WSOJ3 10 жыл бұрын

turbo engines dont get affected by the altitude as much because the turbo will feed air into the engine. non-turbo engines will get affected by high altitude because of less air density/pressure

Given that it's getting a new name and major updates, it's not my first choice to compare an all-new vehicle like the ATS against. We'll see about it next year when it's re-designated the Q37.

Does the fact that the review says "Mile High Drive and Review" escape your attention? Or perhaps you missed the fact that we say and write that we are a mile above sea level in the video. Or perhaps the answer is much simpler. You simple are too uniformed about cars and engines to know what altitude does to horsepower. You might want to google it before posting such mean and stupid comments. You've been warned, next time you'll be banned from our channel.

I know, but we are unique in doing 0 to 60 mph times in, what we call, "Real World Testing." Rarely are consumers speeding away from a traffic light with one person, no cargo and 1/4 tank of gas at sea level. Two big people in a car a mile up is a major task for the engine. If it does well in our testing, it's bound to do well for consumers worldwide.
