Bought it used with 18,000 miles (lease return) three years ago. It now has 55,000+ miles on it. So far this car has been absolutely perfect. The interior is still flawless. I had some softer taller and fatter Michelin tires installed on the stock 17" rims and it glides so much smoother now than with the original lower profile tires on it. It doesn't get the highest fuel economy but then again it's not a Prius... and it's All Wheel Drive. My guess is that the mileage is negatively affected from me wanting to put my foot into the 272 HP turbo charged power plant. Keep in mind our other car is a Mercedes-Benz R Class with a diesel engine. So when I get in this I just can't help but put my foot down. Everyone who has driven this car says it drives like a sports car (not a Cadillac Sedan). What more can you ask for... Cadillac styling with ample performance and decent fuel mileage. I'll probably keep it for a long time. By the way, the CUE entertainment system will drive you batty at first. But eventually you'll get it figured out. I suggest you use the controls in the steering wheel as much as possible. Otherwise you'll find that you can get distracted fiddling with them. My only complaint is the CUE system. The sound system is great but using the CUE instrumentation on the dash truly sucks. Update: 11/9/18 - I recently took it into the dealer for a recall (computer update on power steering). I asked them to give it a complete inspection to see what maintenance might be looming. I was prepared to have to replace the brakes soon. He said they show no wear and overall everything still looks new. Wow! Original brakes with almost 60,000 and they tell me they look new? I think that says that GM is using quality brake pads. The only thing he found was a strut with a very slight leak. Still no repairs. The only money spent so far has been on wiper blades and tires. Update 11/14/2019 - Well... here I am again to tell you just what a great car this has been for us. Not one thing to report over the past year except that we get in it and drive it and it's never once failed or needed repairs. Can this be a fluke? I've never had a car that was seven years old that hasn't ever needed anything fixed. And that strut we were told was leaking hasn't dripped anything on my garage floor ever. I took it to a local Big-O tire store to get it replaced and they said they can't find any leaks. So not sure what was up at the dealer. I suspect maybe someone dripped oil while filling it when they did the oil change? I truly love this car (except for the CUE dash controls... they still are so distracting to use). If you find one of these for a good deal I feel secure in saying I wouldn't hesitate buying it. Not after knowing how great ours has been.

I am definitely on board with the Cadillac brand after this purchase. I have had the car for almost four months and loving every second of it. This car handles surprising well, even in rain I dont have to change the way I drive. Interior is great for the price tag. I can't say anything about the cue system, as mine does not have it, but I just connect my iPod to the USB port and leave it. So getting the touchscreen didn't appeal to me. The 2.0t engine is great. Having almost no turbo lag is great for hooning around backstreets. Transmission sometimes gets confused on when to shift when pushing the car hard, but manual shift gets rid of that. If your in the market for a4s or BMW 3 series but are slightly to expensive,this car used is a great choice and beats out the europeans cars if you ask me.

I purchased my 2013 Cadillac in 2015 from Hudson Cadillac in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was NEVER warned about the touch screen computer, that can STOP WORKING. I cannot control the radio or the temperature neither on the steering wheel or the touch screen. Cadillac has agreed to replace it and ONLY charge me for the labor. If they didn't do that the part would cost me about 1600.00. I have spoken to MANY people that have the ATS to see what their feedback is. MOST said they would never buy another Cadillac. Just the fact that they only warranty the car to 36000 miles is a clear indicator of the reliability of this car. Oh, forgot to mention, the car comes without a spare tire. I WILL NEVER buy another Cadillac again. I will go back to Infinity!! A much more reliable car with a warranty of 100,000 miles. Jeez....even Kia stands by their cars with a 100,000 mile warranty. And my car only has 47,000 miles on it. I keep thinking what is going to go wrong next!! Issues with the sunroof not closing too!!
Loving it
