Used 2015 Cadillac ATS Consumer Reviews
Where to begin....
So i got this car after driving a 97 camry for 10+ years. I loved it so much but after awhile it was time to let her go. i always loved the grill and back of caddys and i had hit a point in my career where i could afford it so i went after it. Initially I LOVED IT. It was fast, stylish and beautiful in inside. Once i figured out you could manually shift, i completely lost it. The love affair didnt last long though. So first, and i dont know why this is the case, but the check engine light is attached to the coolant level. The first time it came on, i almost cried. I had heard that cadillac maintenace is CRAZY so i had prepared for the worst. After getting the code pulled i relaxed. this happened about 6-10 more times so either the ATS inhales coolant, or i had a leak. Second, its small as hell on the inside. Im 6 feet even and it was impossible for anybody to fit in the backseat behind me. Not the biggest problem, it just gives me a reason to not carpool. Now to the biggest issue....THE CUE SYSTEM IS TRASH. It ALWAYS lost connectivity with the bluetooth, then the touch screen just flat out stopped working. Upon doing research, its a common problem. I did love the secret compartment however. For this to be a "luxury" car, i felt they couldve did a better job with that. Last but not least, its depreciation rate is ridicoulous. Its worth about 1/3 of what i paid for it. Never again. to wrap this up, its a fun drive, real smooth, responsive, fast, quick and gas milage is great. Thats where my praise for it stops. dont buy, lease

Initially it was great but it's still American
Do not buy this car new, it is worth nothing after 2 years. 2 years old, 39k miles and it's worth 14k? 50% depreciation in two years with a warranty! This car was great when it was new, but after 39k miles the build quality begins to show. I've had multiple repairs on the interior. Suspension is creaking, whistling noise from the wheels. Lots of road noise. Unusable Bluetooth phone over 30 mph. Thought this car was a great value compared to BMW and Mercedes, it isn't. You are not winning. This is a chevy cruise with a Cadillac badge and more powerful engine. The transmission is garbage, and I could never average more than 22.7 mpg. Terrible from a 4 cylinder. I traded it in for an Infiniti Q50, got the same payment and tons of technology. Not to mention 300hp V6 that gets better mpg. I could not be happier to get rid of this car. It's beautiful but a piece of junk. I gave America a chance again and was again disappointed. The technology you get and then build quality from the Japanese luxury cars is crazy when you compare prices. Don't be tricked into thinking this car is a good deal.

Awesome Car
Love this car. Bought it in March. Looks sharp and people notice it. It has serious pick up and speed and excellent handling. The CUE is a little cumbersome but overall not that difficult to use. Definitely a smaller car, you're not going to be able to fit a lot of people in it, but overall it gets the job done.
The dealer gets all the credit for their hard work
I had Cadillacs my whole life. I had a skid with Infinti from 2011 to 13. Probably my best 3 years of driving, I went back to Cadi because i believed they were making a better car and the deal was also inviting. But the continuing problems surface every month. The quality is sub par to those imports. Craftmanshift is very poor. The look of the ATS performance is outstanding as the handling. I made a mistake of getting the 2.0. It has no punch from the gate. Aside all the fun this CAR has to offer. Its in the shop once a month for something. I lost the power steering once, not a good experiance. I even lost the dashboard lights,gauges.Going in now 4 mildew smell in AC, its killing me. The only upside of this car was the people who serviced it. I have to give Pepe Cadillac service all the credit for keeping this car on the road. From the service director , advisors and technicians. They get 5 stars for the dedication and hard work. Had this been a well made car, it would have been a marriage for a lifetime UPDATE: ON JULY 2015 GM REPURCHASED THE VEHICLE Under THE LEMON LAW. INTOTAL THE VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE FOR OVER 26 different issues aND OVER 45 days. JUST LIKE THE COMMERCIAL
