This car was what the Cadillac CTS was when it first came out in 2003

I wish it was. The first gen cts sold tons of units. The ats was a slept on car that didn’t sell that well. Most people don’t know what they are and are clueless about this great car. The ats is one of the best drivers cars and add to that you can get a manual 6speed that comes with an LSD. Man Cadillac knocked it out of the park with this car. It’s to bad everyone wants SUV’s and crossovers. I have a 14 ats 2.0t performance trim and I adore it. I Also have 3 other Cadillac cars also!

@@adamhayden5152 It wasn't slept on at all, the ats was the automotive journalists darling in 2013, it got rave reviews from everyone they just didn't sell well because they are small sporty luxury american sedans and normie dipshits all want crossovers and suvs, and the small market of people who will buy American luxury sedans want land yachts like town the old Devilles and Towncars. Its a shame because I truly think Cadillac out bmw'ed bmw but at the end of the day if someone wanted a bmw 3 series they where just going to buy the badge.

Got one with v6, limited slip differential, heads up display, magnetic shocks, brembo brakes, sun roof and black paint with 18 inch wheels, its a 2013 and has 55,000 miles on it and it looks brand new and its my wifes car and we love it o much that we will NEVER sell it. It is super quick and corners like an indie 500 car. Did I mention that we love are ATS premium pkg Cadillac? Jes sayin.

The car is a great handling car but saying it handles like a INDY car is a gross exaggeration… also the 2.0t is the better motor unless it’s the ATS V…

@@adamhayden5152 exaggeration? Yes, but the alph platform is the performance chassis for the new CT4 CT5, .and Camaros. You should take one out and put it through the paces, then tell us what you think

The 2.0t is the way to go for a pure drivers car. I have 14 ats performance rwd 2.0t and the aftermarket support is amazing. Very soon the car will be upgraded to stage 2 and e85 and making tons more hp. Then forged pistons and better con rods and bigger turbo!!!

@adamhayden5152 2 жыл бұрын

Sounds sweet homie! I have a 14 ats also performance trim and rwd same 2.0t motor. My car has bunch of zzp parts and some other parts like GFB DV+ and renick chassis brace.

@timtresch4848 2 жыл бұрын

its preference the V6 will be smoother, sounds better, and will be more enjoyable to rev it out and theirs a good aftermarket for it as well from all the v6 camaros. The 2.0T is great as well lighter front end, easier and cheaper to make quick power with basic bolt ons/tune but the early 2.0T's had headcasket issues. 2016+ with the upgraded 8 speed is especially nice.

@paulcondie2520 Жыл бұрын

3.6 has more HP and more reliable in the long run with normal maintenance. Now if you're going to mod there is more aftermarket support.

@timtresch4848 2 жыл бұрын

I know alot of people like those cts coupes but I never found their proportions flattering for a 2 door, still a good car but the ats coupe would be the winner IMO and if you keep long, long term I think those could become collectable, maybe even look at cts wagons if thats your thing I think those look great but its all subjective obviously

Might have one for sale for you with 80k miles in the next month AWD premium package Black with Blood 🩸 interior but you would have to pick up in Minnesota I will pay plane ✈️ ticket here you drive back to your home . Not a coupe though it’s 4 door 13k Let me know

Skip the awd and the 3.6 get a 2.0t in premium trim rwd and make sure it has the G80 rpo code for the LSD!!!

@@TheAprizzle92 More than enough. If I delete the traction control and put it in sport I can do donuts all day long and throw out the rear end and drift around corners. People probably think I am quite the a$$ hole when they witness my adolescent tendencies from time to time, so I don't drive it very much as its my wife's car anyway.
