I'm 57 going on 28, so I've had a lot of badass cars but nothing ever handled like my 2015 Cadillac ATS premium performance with the 3.6 rwd with the magna ride. 3450lbs and a electronic locking rear differential this car is epic!!! I agree with this guy, he definitely knows what he's talking about!
*I wanted update my comment* I bought a 2014 ATS 2.0T a few months ago and I'm loving it so far. As soon as i bought it, i scheduled an appointment at the dealership to get all of my fluids changed. Considering the age and since it's used, i have to change my tires soon but i really do love this car so far. If anyone gets one, you will love this car. Just get it inspected before u buy it. Proper maintenance will increase the longevity of this car
Brother you are absolutely correct. I took my cts in for servicing and a salesman threw me the keys to a ats 2.0 and said check it out let me know what you think I come back amazed . I told him I'm going to get one just not today! I got one and I love it but it left me thirsty for more so I also have a Ats-v! Now that one I a beast!
My Guy Ive driven Caddy's my whole life This video has me sold. They should send you a check for this one. Im currently in an 2005 STS but Ive been looking at ATS 2013-18 ( now they are all in my feed which is how I came to your video) . Also Im a photographer that travels A LOT. I'll take another look at those 2013s may have high miles 130+ but I guess if they're taken care of You should notice it the test drive. Again thanks to your brilliant story telling I have a better appreciation for the ATSs.
I've had mine for a year, it's a 2014 luxury package with the 2.0t the only issues I've had is the rear differential I'm yet to see the cel light...fingers crossed!
Question if you had the option to buy a 2018 STS for $8K with 84 K miles but has a Salvage title comes with a warranty or a 2013-14 for $9-12K with over 130 K miles what would you do?
How has ur car been holding up so far? I'm looking at buying a 2014 ATS 2.0T in my area. However, I've been seeing mixed reviews about this car. Is it a hit or miss?
My 2017 has got a performance catted downpipe by zzp aluminum storage overflow tank catch can by zzp end zzp downpipe the car is way more enjoyable than I already was
I'll give you mine for free. Aluminum and chrome is so played out i did a chrome delete on my entire car. Chrome belongs on CLASSICS not modern cars but thats just my opinion. Now my 2018 ATS 2.0T Crystal white (which is peral white without the pearl) looks beyond amazing especially with tinted windows and all REAL carbon fiber accents on the exterior. From the spoiler, lower license plate bumper trim, side mirrors, etc. Just gotta mount my carbon fiber front splitter and shes completely finished. So CRAZY how many people have NO CLUE what kinda of car this is. They think your driving a damn spaceship. And with a few ZZP mods and and schmidty tune you will be. It'll beat the FASTEST 4 Cylinder in the world a CLA45 AMG. 😉
Realistically, how many miles will these go before they start becoming a money pit? I found a guy selling one with 111,000 miles for 9k. I drive a lot for work, should I look elsewhere?
From the owner who traded this car in last winter: Yes, at that price definitely look elsewhere. they do have differential seals that leak bad, plus the 2.0 is a rather finicky engine, so if it's been modded, it COULD be a ticking time bomb. Also the CUE is going to fail at some point.
Seems like an old attempt in the '80s to develop a small sports Cadillac paid off in the end with the ATS. Of course the 2 door is always worth more with the wider body from the factory.

@@ithinkihaveebola5238 i actually like it. Mine was almost like new 31k/m at the time, I've into some oil changes no more boo less. Drives excellent... I think it's a hit especially cuz of what I paid for it
I love mine as well. Out of 15-20 cars in my life, this car by far is the very best I have owned. I have to 2.0T and it's a joyride.
I can't wait to be able to afford me one...
how many miles are on it? im considering getting one
How is the reliability?

They're pretty sick handling cars. I've driven both the RWD and AWD versions and the AWD was REALLY gripped up and confidence inspiring.

That's good to know.
I have a 2013 with 3.6 ltr and AWD … had the car about 8 years and i love it
I love my 14 ats 2.0t performance trim. It’s been modified quite a bit and soon will be running e50 and making 350hp at the crank.
This episode is really fun!
These are on my list of next cars to get!

No videos of the V uploaded? Let us know when you actually buy one
There is a guy on the Cadillac forums selling motor mounts to swap an LS into your ats.
Cue got a major update on the processor for the 2016+ cars, along with the 8 speed transmissions. Both make an already good package great.

or a 2013-14 for $9-12K with over 130 K miles what would you do?
God, I love the Cupe version.

There’s a 2013 ats with 97k miles for $14k. Would you recommend me buying it?
It really deepens on what the previous owner did and that goes for any car brand that's used
Mine is a 2014 and does have the same headinghts and fogs are those aftermarket

Any advice to fold the rear seats to open the trunck with a dead battery?
You are supposed to swipe the metal part of the bat cave door to open and close.
My 2017 has got a performance catted downpipe by zzp aluminum storage overflow tank catch can by zzp end zzp downpipe the car is way more enjoyable than I already was

I’ll sell you mine for $200 shipped

Seen that cookout cup and knew you were in N.C. 😂
Can I do the same thing to my CTS 2015 2.0T??
If you like his, then you would adore mine!
Performance trim came with 18’s not 17’s.
My 2015 ats 2:0 is a great car

@@WookieDrives well dang, I appreciate the input!

My ats will smoke and rs and STI a Lancer Evo any turbo 4-cylinder out there

👌👌
Because it has Camaro suspension parts... and have 300 hp with the 3600 lbs wieght.
I love mine
I just bought a 3.6 ATS. It's a killer around town. But at 90 mph crossing Nevada, my old 2005 CTS is better.
3.6 have engine leaks
I want to sell mine, only 31k , bought it only a month ago. Everyone thinks I've got money.
