Will set you back in the seat and put a smile on your face. It is harsh with holes but worth the price of great handling. Gas mileage is good, I drive mostly around town and after 2 years I am averaging 24.5 mpg. The only trouble I have experienced is with the CUE. It changes channels all by it self. I have not had it checked due to it being intermittent. Every time I approach the dealer it stops doing it. So I will have to wait for it to break. I would highly recommend this car if you don't need a big back seat and trunk.

Amazing changes

I bought this type model starting with the 2010 SRX. I don’t think I’ll ever drive another type. I thought that car was awesome; great ride, lots of features, and the sound system is sooo good I can rock out. So I then got a 2014 (I like to keep cars under warranty). But then when I got the 2017 ATS, expecting it to be the same I was surprised. The shift stick took some getting used to. The gas mileage went up almost 20% I guess because the car is lighter and it has the stop start feature. The AI features are complicated but once you get the hang of it it’s an assistant. The “stay in lane ” feature has been very helpful teaching teenagers to drive. Also the “you’re too close”. I’m Sure they have fancy names but you get the gist. I use the heated seat feature on days when my back aches and steering wheel warmer on days ,y hands hurt. (Not often but I big day at the gym can sometimes be too much) My particular Cadillac dealer (fields Cadillac in jacksonville and st Augustine Florida) is practically like family. They take care of everything and it’s worth the 35 mile drive plus they give me a loaner and will feed people breakfast and lunch should you have to wait. What’s not to like? I never even think about any other new cars and doubt I ever will.

Bought a new Cadillac ATS 2 weeks ago and love every second of driving it. It is considerably different from its predecessors in that it is much smaller and feels more sporty, while still maintaining a high quality of comfort one expects from the Cadillac name.

I purchased this 2017 AWD Cadillac ATS Sport as a used vehicle with 37K miles on the clock. I have never looked back. Mine now has 128000 and the maintenance has been brakes, head lights, tires, and one very bad instance of bad engineering. Brakes are easy to replace and reasonably priced, the head lights are impossible to get to and the dealer charged me 300.00 to change them out. Tires were switched from the low profile run flats, which made the ride stiff, to regular tubeless, and I was happy i did. Two sets of tires in the almost 100k that i put on it and only one set of F/R brakes. As for the bad engineering, at 101k miles the ECM module went bad due to water getting into the enclosure through a badly designed plug system. 1600.00 bucks later, but that is the only maintenance failure I have had. I have to say, with the carbon fiber accents, the Recaro bucket seats, and the peppy 2.0 liter turbo, runs excellent with 16 in the city and 28 on the highway at or above highway speed. And they provide a button to turn off the silly Auto Cut Off at stops. Brilliant. This is the best car I have ever owned, Jags, Jeeps, MGB, Toyota, included. The only two complaints that I have are; it is low, so oncoming headlights are brighter, and the high beams are not as illuminating as I would like. As for the CUE system, it stinks.

Good value-transmission issues-comfortable seats

Enjoyable car - inside and out - 2017 with 30,000 . Transmission shifts clunky and some times shutters. They put some new improved fluid and its calmer now. Has good pep - handles the highway like a champ. Rear suspension getting rusted and lose - dealers says its weather related and rust isnt a "part failure" according to GM -
