Thought is: a small car you give up comfort. Not true. It is very comfortable.

Very easy to drive. Everything is automatically controlled. Compact. Yet very comfortable and luxurious.

Warren Caldwell

The ride is excellent

Having vibrations at 35 mph,that is my only complaint

Kay M

Drives great in the rain and hugs the road.

This car is a smooth ride and drives great in the rain a very nice car looks great as all white vehicle. Smaller vehicle and very easy to park in any parking space. Has the Cadillac style and feel. Looks good and drives well ad is a very nice and sharp looking car.

I think it irks my ex that I have it and was able to get it without him.

I like the compact size as opposed to the larger models I used to drive, I love the red color, moon roof, the get up and go, and the back-up screen. I love that it has slides and buttons instead of knobs, and most of all, I love that it's paid for.

Russell L

Great car for solo or 2 people.

Great ride, going over speed bumps or any bumps in the road are very smooth.. Good mileage, usually gets in the high 20's and is comfortable. The radio is very customizable and has a great sound. The screen to radio cracks under high heat. Not a ton of room in the back seat if anyone is over 6 feet tall.

What a cardiac has in store for you.

My car is great on gas. Handles the road great. Has a great sound system. Has a sunroof. It has a lot of safety features and on window speed. It has blind spot notice. It has auto stop. It breaks if you are too close to a car in front or behind you. It brings itself back to the center of the lane if you go over white or yellow lines. It has cruise control that slows itself down if traffic is moving slower. It has auto headlights.Rain sensing wipers. Heated seats. Built in phone charger.

Cadillac ats don't buy one!

The screen in it goes out every six months. Which makes the radio not work. It has something wrong w the transmission or something that makes it bump when accelerate. It's the smallest car ever made I swear. Its screen malfunction also makes the USB plugs not work and cant use or charge the phone.

Car is beginning to jerk or studder

I have had the car roughly 8-10 months and was pleased at how the 2.0 turbo responded, but lately no matter what drive mode is selected in the 30-55MPH range I am getting a lot of motor jerking like the electronic shift is not adjusting to stop and go traffic.

SARA M

Make sure if you have a partner especially a man to check if he can fit comfortably in the car.

I like that is drives very smooth. I like that It is comfortable for me to drive. I like that I have XM Radio I don't like how low and small it is for other people to get in and out. I do not like the payments. From time to time it jerks

Tyana M

Good mileage, nice seats, good compatibility, good storage.

It works really well, the seats are comfortable, mileage is good, paint chips off a bit easily, the steering is easy to turn, and the size is good. The windows a tinted perfectly, the mirrors are easy to move, the tires are great, good space inside, good ac.

Jax D

Beautiful looking car and will last only if you take good care of it.

Reliability is issues and transmission problems have been the main issues but I do love the car and the style. The brand is also a plus but the issues I had with the car for me lowers its value. The features are great but I wish the white color wasn't more expensive than the other colors.

Juliana W

Love my car! Cadillac ats a great vehicle.

My vehicle is great. It always starts, gets me where I want to go. It is comfortable and good on gas as well. The buttons on the steering wheel are convenient. The internet capabilities via OnStar are fabulous. I love the color, blue is my favorite and the grey leather interior is great here in Florida in the heat. The ac blows icy cold air and the radio sounds great!! I really do like my car.

Jason M

Not exceptional but just okay.

There really is not any glaring issue, it just is not as nice as I think of when I think Cadillac. It had transmission issues. The armrest on the center console didn't hold up. All-in-all it is just an okay car. I would wish I would have bought something different.

I enjoy and really like the overall design of the car.

I everything about the car, it's very beautiful! Being able to have 4x4 or AWD would be nice though. I feel the design sticks out from the test if the cars on the market today. I am definitely a fan on Cadillac and always will be. The only issue is the back seat space but it's to be expected with the model that I own. The interior itself is very nice and features are definitely user friendly. I overall enjoy the car. I think having an updated center console would be nice. It seems to be the only aspect that is out of date compared to other cars made in the same year. The car does look amazing compared to other sedans in its class for sure. I have the black model which I love too. I think black and white are the best colors for this car.
