2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
21 of 24 people found this review helpful
I fell in love with the car during the test drive because of the technology and the styling of the interior. Unfortunately, that ended the first time I tried to have a friend ride in the back seat. If you're over 5'-9", there's no way an adult can ride behind you. If they had added 4 inches of leg room, I'd love this car. I don't know why they didn't just make this a 2-seater. I may end up trading it in for something larger.

2014 Cadillac ATS Performance 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I have the 2014 2.0T RWD Performance version of the ATS. In the 14k miles and year and a half of ownership of this vehicle there have numerous quality issues with the car (see list below). Seems GM spent most of the development money on Chassis Tuning on the ATS and let everything else slip. Others seem to have more luck than I have, but should you really have to get lucky to get one of the "good" ones when purchasing a new vehicle? Buyer Beware. Piston Failure (twice ~7k and ~14k miles) Electric Power Steering Failure replaced at ~14k miles Advanced Forward Light misaligns headlights and point high - No fix from Cadillac Driver's Side Motor Mount broke Navigation poor performance, stutters while reading direction and very long start up time - Fix from Cadillac was only set to read at Med or Low Speed CUE poor responsiveness - No fix from Cadillac Driver's Side Power Recliner required replacement Driver's Side Side Mirror required replacement for broken heating element Rear window defroster slow to heat up after recall implemented HVAC repair for noisy linkage - Also blows cold air until engine warms up Mileage has been no where near advertised at ~18 mpg

Still in the fight. Was relegated to run on regular gas for while. Seemed a bit sluggish but still ran smooth. Had to replace the "old" cabin filter no thanks to Cadillac. Was forced to have the rear brakes replaced (once again no thanks to Cadillac. Ya was suppose to be watching these things). I have Duralast brand pads and rotors. Not my choice but not the worst. I plan to put Power Stops on the front when needed. What can I say. It has aged well. Have new wheels by choice.

2014 Cadillac ATS Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I have had the a t s Luxury 4wheel drive 3.6 for nearly 3 weeks now, it is amazingly fast. Very tight and sporty, the steering wheel is a little small compared to the 2006 Lexus 330 i traded for it and a totally different ride, but a great ride just the same a lot of fun to drive. i like the safety of Onstar, assistance systems for parking and backing. The Cue system does not work 100% well with my iPod..but it does work most of the time, by plugging into the usb port which tucked into the storage area in the dash board, which opens by gently swiping your finger on the bottom of the compartment. the downside of the C U E system is of course finger prints.
POS!

Bought this car new and it has been blowing hot air in my face since i got it...WITH THE AIR TURNED OFF! Brought it back to the dealer multiple times for them to tell me it's supposed to be like that...that all of them blow with the unit off and mine just ended up on the worst end of the spectrum...the car blows HOT air directly in your face while driving...shut the vents and it blows harder out the open vent or through the feet/ defroster. Called Cadillac up and put in a claim and they have stated that because the dealer says it's fine they can't do anything...so basically I'm stuck with a 50k POS. Should have bought a Mercedes...DO NOT BUY! i had mechanics that work for cadillac tell me it's not right but because they hook it up to a computer and it says it's fine they can't do anything...RIDICULOUS! BUYER BEWARE!
