Drive this car on the track, and you will forget the CUE system bugs, the impossibility of getting into the back set, the mediocre viability. This car, as one instructor told me, "Is incredibly well "planted". For 99% of the population (including myself) this car will always be a better car than the driver. For everyday use, it doesn't shine as well. The ride is harsh, even on tour setting, the carbon fiber effects are just asking to be crushed by parking lot bumpers and the gas mileage along with a smallish gas tank, yields a range of only a couple hundred miles. But one shouldn't buy a V type expecting practicality. Also, it gets a lot of attention. Even at the last dealer I took it to, the service manager drooled over it - saying he had never seen one (6-Speed stick). So I like it, a lot. I forgive the short comings.

I have owned several Corvettes... 4 BMW's... 2 of which were M's and the ATS V Coupe' is a superior machine in all aspects! Unfortunately the 2019 Coupe' is the final production of this machine! However it appears that a high end sports Coupe' is on the horizon... i.e. a mid-engine ultra luxury brother to the new C8 Corvette! (12/28/2019) As of this update, there hasn't been any word of a Cadillac version of the C8 Vette. My ATS is like new! Cadillac has extended my lease by 6 months, as there are no new cars available due the chip shortage! Need new tires!

Incredible power and handling. Styling and carbon trim are excellent. This isnt your typical american-muscle, there is a reason ferrari bought MRC from GM. Who cares if CUE is horrible, just use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto... Recaro seats are great, back seat is tight but you are buying a very nimble car. Only thing that would make this car better from the factory is a dual-clutch.

I loved my ATS-V. Wasn't perfect but it was super fun! But unfortunately i only had it for about 2years then I rolled it 5 times in the freeway. Got out of the car with minor scratches

I’ve owned my ATS V for almost three years. I absolutely love the car. It’s got gobs of power, great handling and is very comfortable. CUE system is wonderful once you learn to use it. I have a new BMW M2 Competition and in most situations I’d rather drive the Caddy. I’ve had zero problems with the car. Never under estimate this car. I had a day at Circuit of the America’s in Austin running ATS Vs and CTS Vs. both were incredible on the track. Very impressive GM great job.
