Picked up a 2015 from a dealer for $17,500 under 30K miles. That's a great price compared to the $35K sticker. They don't hold values, but they do perform well for the use sticker price. The AWD has 3 modes, Touring, Sport, and AWD. Now for those who want a comfortable car that runs really good, and has plenty of gitty up and go, with some really sweet interior, this is a nice ride. I've own a 2005 Corvette C6, LS2 400hp 400tq $55K new , and the 2006 Pontiac GTO $38K new. This car isn't a V8, but it will hang with any V6 non turbo and is a fun car to drive. You want 450 HP out of this 2.0L get some mods done, but don't be afraid to spend the money, for roughly about 3K you can get 325HP.... Its even possible to get 450 HP to wheels with this drive train.....Its a good deal used in my opinion for a used ride, although some people are way more pickier than me, and want new year models. Don't blow the cash on a new one, save it for the mods and a cool summer or winter cruising vacation in this car.

It's a small car. There is VERY little room in the back seat for adults. It is very 'peppy' with great acceleration. It's also very attractive.

Need to drive this ATS on the highway or interstate (not city Streets), before committing to buy or lease. I'ts noisy and a rough ride. Doesn't feel like you are driving a Cadillac. Back seat difficult to enter and too small. Small trunk. Fold down back seats are a good feature. Cue system for driving directions has frequent errors and does not understand voice commands. We are very sorry that we leased this car. We have had 3 Cadillacs and this one will be our last.
