It’s called CUE Cadillac user experience… Jesus Christ… can tell you aren’t a Cadillac die hard….

I wish you would have drove the 2.0 first. :( but hey I bet you still love it!

@@nastynotch8314 i did drive the 2.0t but sounded like a lawnmower. Also read about more issues with the 2.0

Facts, but what I’ve done to mine, I left the stock exhaust, but all you hear is the turbo. I don’t like the sound of 4 bangers, but I love turbo spool and blow offs.

@@nastynotch8314 10-4. Mines the 3.6 with premium performance pkg. Got one hellova growl for a v6! All blacked out with 19s. Ats v in about 6 months! Can't wait

Paul Condie I got the 18 2.0 and man it just whooped a escalade with ease and that has a 350 v8

Does all ats have paddle shifters?

I don’t think they ever refreshed the ATS (or the CTS). I hear the new Cadillac CT4 and CT5 are improved.

Dennis The Menance Cadillac doesn’t make a car like that anymore since they discontinued the XTS. Cadillac thinks everyone wants an American BMW fighter.

A Stu that would be the ATS-V

still like it?

The reliability really just depends on the owner

My main complaint with all current Cadillacs is the color schemes of the interiors. This is the place one would spend every day in, so color matters, and gray with brown doesn't cut it. On dealer lots most have black interiors which become crud catchers. In a crowded segment, every aspect matters.

Get rid of the no flat tires and it rides 1000 percent better. I know.

When buying, it’s better to check about the prices of parts especially if you’re buying a used car. Brand new, I’d drop Lexus from that list. It’s too gimmicky and Asian sporty/luxurious vehicles aren’t really solid. I’d consider Mitsubishi over Lexus in terms of the sporty side. Audi, BMW, Merc, it looks like you want a luxurious but performance lineup. Lexus IS more sporty than luxurious. If you want to buy luxury based on comfortability and gadgets, I say go for a test drive. But you’d lack what really sets luxury apart from basic and that is likeableness. You want others to be impressed by what you drive. Lexus isn’t that. Yes, it has good interior but will people be impressed? No. It’s like driving a super expensive Camry. Cadillac is like driving a Chevy but people don’t see it that way. They see it as a caddy. Same with BMW being just a VW but people don’t see it as VW but they see it as BMW. It’s up to you if you want to buy a Lexus though. Don’t be afraid to buy old models as well. Remember, it’s about the condition of the parts. There hasn’t much big leaps in terms of design for these brands both hardware and interior and exterior aesthetics. You can get these cars for less than half their original price with around 50k mileage. Or you could pay double or 3x for practically the same car. I would only worry about the software if you were to buy old cars such as these models. Other than that, certainly you shouldn’t neglect buying a cheaper car.

ironsaber2 it makes sense if you understand that people expect the materials to be _horrible_

Martin Espinoza i honestly can't see anything wrong with the materials used. this is a Cadillac it is suppposed to give you bmw/ Mercedes performance and luxury but at a much lower price. that being said you have to compromise somewhere and i would much rather have an ats then be one of those 3 series snobs that double park Every chance they get and fell like they are better then other because of their car

ironsaber2 That's exactly why they complain, they don't want Cadillac to be a luxury car with compromise, they want it to be the best it can be and it just isn't because of cost cutting.

well we will see what the ct 6 will be like. at the end of the day though gm interiors are getting better and their cars in general are getting more and more reliable with each new model. yeah they still have their faults but compared to gm 4 or 5 years ago these things are light years better
