Cadillac ATS

Purchased this vehicle today from Steve Foley Cadillac in Northbrook Illinois. Ryan our salesman was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process. Will definitely be going back for future purchases.

First and maybe Last Caddy

Nice looking car that looks larger than it actually is , but is very tight inside ( no room for not even my phone ) . Great performance and mileage and really fun to drive , but dollar for dollar the Chrysler S 300 offers so much more than the base model ATS , like auto start , no touch key fob entry for doors and trunk , one piece locking gas cap , ( no need to unscrew a gas cap , c'mon GM ) room for two adults to actually sit comfortably in the back seat for more than 10 minutes and an easy to operate touch screen . Unless you are determined to own that first Cadillac , like I was , I would take a close look at the 300 first or if you must go caddy maybe the CTS . Bottom line unless you drive a small car now you will be surprised at how small the inside of this car actually is .

Most Depreciated Car I've ever owned

Interior and exterior styling is about the only thing good for the car. The price is not worth what you are buying. The car lacks in acceleration as a 2008 Toyota camery has better acceleration than this.

Love the car, don't love the problems.

I've had this car for just over a month, and overall I love it. It's quick, it's sexy, it's sleek, it's a Cadillac. Unfortunately, and I've heard from many people with this model, there are a fair share of technical issues with them and I'm glad mine still has some warrantee left. After the first week of having it the entire middle with all of the controls and the touch screen went out and needed to be replaced. This, from what I've heard from other ATS drivers, is a very common issue, and a quick fix is to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. As a Cadillac owner, I'm not impressed by that in the least. Hoping the new screen holds up. Like I said, love the car and everything about it, but this model sounds to be a problem.

Just so so, lack of some functions

Lack of some functions .As a international student,maybe I can't express my opinion clearly. For example, my plate title and Bluetooth is not good.

Just Love This Car!

I have owned many Caddy's in my time, and the DTS was my choice, but the wife and I thought we would try the ATS, and just love the car! It was a little getting used to the smaller ride, but it is a joy to drive, and it looks so classy. The performance is thrilling, and the four cylinder turbo turns on!

My first Cadillac, but not my last.

As a former Audi loyalist, I have to say that the car's handling has impressed me beyond my expectations. I came across the ATS while looking for a luxury car at a great price. I researched it thoroughly, and was surprised to find out that it was very hard to find something bad mentioned about the ATS. Article after article, it was being compared to the BMW 3 series. The one year anniversary has just come and gone, and I love it more now than when I first got it. It's broken in nicely, and I know it's capability.

The Beamer beater

I own a Cadillacs ats 2.0 awd turbo, this car is quick, great on gas, and a great looking car. I would strongly suggest finding one with the cue system there are a lot of nice features with it. The down side of it is that the gps can only be used with a subscription to on star. Overall I think Cadillac is on to something great with this car the 2.0 turbo engine is really quick and great on mpg's.

Cadillac out did yourself

From the start I knew the 2014 ATS Luxury was car car of my choice. I traded my 2008 Mercedes E-550 with more options that I care to mention. But when I was greeted and walked over to my new Cadillac ATS I choice to buy on-line it was far beyond what I expected. 18" wheels, sunroof, Black diamond paint and Navigation with so many option that I felt like I was side stepping into a better then equal to my E-550. At 1/2 the price, Regular needed gas mileage savings and just took me no time to figure out I was buying a great car for the money. WOW WOW WOW JAG
