Dream Car or Nightmare?

2013 Cadillac ATS Standard 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
8 of 15 people found this review helpful
I purchased this car in 2014 and thought my dreams had come true. Beautiful car. Very classy. Sporty. What a nightmare it has become. CUE system SUCKS! The CUE is frozen on the homepage and will cost $2K to repair. Not covered under warranty. Several recalls including rear defogger, transmission issues, etc. Of course there is no recall on the CUE. Interior falling apart. Plastic parts just pop off. I'm collecting them for next owner. Driver seatbelt gets stuck. The audio is horrible while using the phone via Bluetooth. I'd rather hold my phone and drive. Navigation is only available through OnStar and limited at that. Climate controls have a mind of their own. While only using the AC, the heater will intermittently come on; even in 100 degree temperatures outside. Needs frequent front-end alignments and I'm a careful driver (don't run over potholes). I will NEVER buy another Cadillac. Please save yourself LOTS of money and aggravation and "steer clear" of this one.

First of all, I really do think this is my favorite car that I have ever owned. It has a few quirks, but overall it is an incredible car! It is so fun to drive and so luxurious, can’t find anything comparable for a comparable price.

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!!
Eye catching styling

The ATS is a pleasure to drive. It handles well and is responsive. The interior is comfortable. The exterior design is very eye catching and I've received compliments on the car. It has a good audio system with Boise sound. I'm very pleased with this car and would purchase another in the future. *Still love my car 5 years after purchase. As I walk to my car in a parking lot, I still get the pride of ownership feeling. Still get compliments from people as I drive it out in the public. The styling has not diminished with time. Would buy another ATS as its a beautiful car and very dependable. I sold the car last year. Bought a all wheel drive Ford Escape. It was time to move on.

This is a true diamond in the rough sport sedan. Driving a $51k car that I bought for the price of a new Honda Civic. I drove Lexus IS-250's and BMW 3 series and this was way more enjoyable to drive. Interior space is tight for backseat passengers but the driver and front passenger have loads of room (I'm 6'5" 250 lbs). The CUE system is easily figured out and the My Cadillac app works great for starting car from my desk and downloading routes for upcoming trips. Overall I am very impressed with my new baby.
