Younger male who gave Cadillac/GM a go for it

2013 Cadillac ATS Standard 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

So this my 3 car I have ever owned. I am an avid MotorTrend reader... previous car 1995 Mazda Porters (family car), first purchased car 2002 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T sweet car, upgrades to a 2008 Nissan 350Z (great deal and just had to own one in my lifetime. Okay on to the Caddy just like most of us Americans we are so into our europena and Asian car brands. I know I didn’t want a 3 series as most folks say after the first year definitely 2nd you have issues. Okay on to the ATS the 2013 is the first year for this model. I think cadillac made the back a little to tight but the front seats are amazing and the leg room. I do think the leatherette material needs to be a little tougher.. unfortunately mine is tearing but in honesty the car is 6 years old now and I have owned it for 2.5 years and I drive daily. I must say the keyless entry should have been standard on all trim levels in my opinion but there is an upgrade FYI if u want to add those handles. My gas consumption is great based on current market 20-25 fills it up for me ... and I use 87 but highway I use premium fuel: the trunk space I don’t like and think they should have figured out something a little more user space friendly lol... I have had to change my lightbulb and boy it was a task but anyone can do it and save on funds. The ATS definitely introduced new Cadillac owners and the new CTS is amazing looking .. I call it ATS on steroids as it looks just like it .. I def want to keep the car for another2.5 years and then try another brand but this was a great value and great entry level luxury sports sedan.. more tech should have been in the car in my opinion also standard .... car is quick and if u get the right engine airfilter u can hear the turbo

Had rear differ. leak fixed in Feb. 2019 now have to have axel fuel seal fixed July 2019. This is two things that most cars never have to be fixed!!! I’ll be spent 1,400$ all together next week!! I’m not happy at all about this!

This car is quiet and comfortable. With its Turbo speed, smooth, heated leather seats and steering wheel, and surround sound, your driving experience always feels like an effortless drive up to the moon and back.

I bought this car online, sight unseen, never a test drive. The car was delivered to me in Springfield, Mo in 2018 from somewhere in California ... My mother-in-law (Dunwoody, GA) has always driven a HUGE cadillac and while it was a nice ride, I deemed it more of a broom (so to speak) and vowed never to buy a Cadillac anything ... but when I saw the car, saw the price for absolutely everything I desired (excepting a sunroof), I wanted it ... as soon as I drove it, I loved it! It now has 81,000 miles on it and I have taken very good care of it and run only premium gasoline through her. Though there have been some repair issues lately, I wouldn't trade it for anything ... it'll be my car until I kick ... the handling, comfortability and the ultimate in reliability when passing vehicles on a 2-lane road are second to none ... never mind that the backseat isn't really for toting passengers ... I don't like backseat drivers anyway!
