2016 Cadillac ATS Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I have driven the car for many years and other than normal maintenance, it has cost me little money.. Sporty looking car with a lot of very good features. The car is comfortable and enjoyable to drive. It takes a minute for the turbo to really kick in but on the highway, it has got plenty of speed. The AWD will get you through the snow and holds the road when it is wet. Plenty of technology and the safety features are great to have and makes one more aware of the road.

Good gas mileage, great handling, small rear seat. Missing blind spot and cross traffic warnings, heated seats, etc... all in higher level models. For the price, should have been included. The headrest in the front seat force your head forward a bit too much making it uncomfortable for a 5'9" driver.

The 2013 ATS was very impressive with regards to comfort, performance and technology. So, at lease end, I wanted more. The 2015 with added turbo blew me away. If torn between sporty, elegant, or aggressive, know that the ATS brings it all together.

It's quick, comfortable, and classy. The interior and sound system are first class. If your budget is $25k don't buy a new car. Buy a pre owned certified used car and you'll be much happier.

The handling is stellar! I also own a Porsche 911 and this is the only sedan I've ever driven that actually compares ok. I also think the exterior look is fantastic - clean, timeless but also interesting. However, I dislike just about everything else about this car. CUE is horrendous. It is unintuitive and talks too much when in voice prompt mode. My wife's Audi blows away the Cadillac's interface. While the 2.0ilter engine has reasonable power, you have to overcome both turbo lag and a slow transmission (mine has the 6 speed auto) in order to get good performance. Even then, it sounds pretty bad - a bit like an overworked and muffled lawnmower. If you ignore the sound and run the car in manual mode then it's fine, but who wants to do that. These two things are irksome enough that I decided to sell the car. Resale is absolutely horrible. This is partially due to the fact that the car was overpriced in the first place. I knew that going in but I wanted to buy American. Poor resale doubles the pain. If you want to buy the car anyway, get the V6, make sure it has the new 8 speed auto, and make sure you get a hefty discount on this overpriced car. Overall, I would not recommend this car.
