    Unable to find the ATS Coupe in the color combination I wanted so had to order, not will to pay for only part of what I wanted. Being told it will take up to 2 months to get the car, which is see as odd since it is not a car in high demand. Also while shopping I found some cars had different options. I view this as a likely failure on who ever input the information, one that upon contacting the dealer had 6K dealer add ons, as I write this it is still listed on the interrnet at the lower price. I will be happy to let you know my experence when and if the ordered ATS coupe get here.

    Prefer to drive wife’s maxima for sure. Shocking how loud it is when driving down the road. Lack of cameras, and having to reach to dash for various functions is at least surprising. My bad for not test driving for a few days for sure. Folks think the car is sexy but regret the purchase. Soooo the clock has moved forward. Ended up getting lawyer after ATS was in the shop 27 times. Purchased wife 21 Supra and now driving another Maxima. This time an SR that looks pretty sporty. Folks, yo have got to check out the Nissan Maxima (if you can find one) and avoid the ATS at all costs

    We recently purchased a 2018 Premium Performance ATS 3.6L coupe, for the most reasonable price we could find with the lowest miles. It’s been upgraded with all the accessorie bits, including the Sapele wood trim and the rear spoiler. Our other car is a new 2023 Mini Countryman S, so I know good fit and finish and tight handling. Also Ive owned many BMW and Mercedes vehicles over the years to compare this Caddy to. Ride… is sporty. This is not the old living room Cadillac. This is an actual car that rolls over bumps and yes, you will feel some of them. This is what performance suspension is about. Handling. Amazing. At all speeds, this feels like a slot car. Comfort. For my frame, the seats cradle me perfectly, in fact I haven’t been as comfortable in a car since I had my 96 SHO. Tech. 2018 was the year they updated the CUE system and tho it does require a little time to learn I’m very happy with it. It’s voice recognition seems pretty spot on. I only wish that it would tell you that an address or name is not in the system rather than offering you a bunch of alternatives that don’t match.. Maybe that’s something Cadillac will address in the future. My car also has the whole gamut of lane change, active braking, and the like. That will take getting used to because it is aggressive. But this is not the first car I’ve had it in. Looks. You can’t fault this car for styling. It is as fresh today as when it first rolled off the assembly line in 2011. Cadillac knew they had a good thing especially in the coupe and didn’t muck it up year to year by adding new noses and tails. Power. This is as responsive a car as I have ever owned, with 335 hp and a zero to 60 at 5.4 seconds. Most people will never get to test that, but believe me, this car gets out of its way and everybody else’s way.

    Worst car I've had

    My first brand new car I had ever bought and biggest regret. Between the multiple issues with the car on top of the worst service and dealer customer service dealing with all the issues. For the price I've paid for this car and what I pay monthly for a car that basically sat for over 2 years.... I'll never recommend one let alone but anything Cadillac or GM again

    It has amazingly sophisticated looks, great handling, ample smooth power to transport 2 people in style! The CUE screen needs some repair, but it is still under warranty, so it will get repaired/replaced.
