I’d have to say the Wi-Fi hotspot is my favorite feature.
It is a great ride and can go any distance without feeling like it is on. It has parking assistance, cruise control, Bluetooth audio, Wi-Fi hotspot, power-adjustable seats, and OnStar assistance, among other things. In addition, it offers more than enough plush space for the driver and fellow riders. It has a large trunk, as well.

2015 Cadillac ats: sporty and luxurious!
I absolutely love my ats! I wanted a car with a very sleek design and it caught my eye immediately. As far as performance goes, I have really had no issues with this vehicle. It is a really smooth ride, gets pretty decent gas mileage as it is only 4 cylinders and no mechanical issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to purchase!

The red interior is great since its custom made.
Performance on the vehicle is amazing and it runs very smoothly on the road at high speeds, it's comforting and its luxurious. I love it. Have no problems with it the only downfall is that Cadillac maintenance is high and it costs a few bucks but other than that I find it to be completely worth every cent.

Comfortable ride when driving long distances.
Size is perfect, comfortable ride specifically on long distance trips, no problems when doing routine maintenance, reliable, good service from dealer, appreciate back up camera for parking and pulling out of parking spaces, leather seats are easy to clean.

Have your cake and eat it too.
The Cadillac ats is a comfortable luxury sports sedan. It provides the spacious room of a family vehicle and all the excitement of a luxury sports vehicle. I have owned mine for two years and have yet to have any problems. Hands down would recommend for anyone who wants to drive a vehicle they are for sure to love.

The car is so pretty for a single person or a couple without kids.
The backseat of the car is a little small for a family car but other than that it is really nice car. The car is a gas saver so no worries with that, the radio is touch screen so you have to be cleaning often to be able to use it which can be a little annoying.

Cadillac ats-a cool mom car.
The Cadillac ats feels very sporty when you are driving it. There are three driving modes: sport, touring, and snow/ice. Sport mode is my favorite-you can really feel the car turning tightly and hugging the road. There is a huge trunk in this sporty sedan. The cup holders in the front could be better spaced-it is sometimes hard to have large drink fit in the holder or two drink cups at once. My ats also does not have the scan option on the radio and no heated seats. Otherwise, I love it!

It is a great, fun driving car.
Console could be configured better. The phone storage location could be bigger to accommodate the phone and charger better. Would like to be able to fold the seats in the back down to accommodate larger items for the trunk.

Cadillac ats description and features.
Beautiful interior with luxury leather seats, plush and heated. The ats features keyless entry utilizing a key fob. Comfortably sits two in the front and two with option of one more in rear. The dashboard has interior night time lighting. Both driver side and passenger side have slot for drinks in door as well as middle console. The back seat features a pull down seat for extra loads needed for trunk. The back seat includes a hidden pull down tray for back passenger trays and food. Adequate storage space in trunk. The vehicle has capability for OnStar availability and Bluetooth connection. Great performance and average gas performance. The material used around the radio tends to crack in the summer but no other general problems. Cadillac features an Cadillac app that helps monitor vehicle status, vehicle navigation, vehicle mileage, location and has an option for keyless entry via the app. Also has the ability to schedule service calls from the car.

The drive itself is good.
Like the size, the cue system failed often! The technology is not as advanced as other vehicles. The gas mileage is good.

Great luxury small size sedan.
My ats has been really nice throughout my ownership. I have had some difficulty with technical issues, such as my back up sensor and screen but besides that no problems. The ats is a bit smaller than the cts but still feels pretty roomy. I would recommend this car to anyone.
accountCircle Albert M on May 14, 2021
Sharp looking stands out in a crowd.
Car is a joy to drive but the noise level is not great and the ride is not smooth. Cargo space is small and interior space is very small. Performance level is great and handling is great. Sound system is very nice also ac controls and buttons are very nice.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jennifer D.

Great gas mileage comfy seats and great interior. Great get up and go. Awesome highway performance and great trunk space. Sleek look and the best stereo system found in a vehicle. Heated seats are a must in this luxury car.

likeFilled Diana W.

Comfortable ride, limited maintenance, good performance, handles well, if I were to purchase new, I would get larger vehicle,. I would choose a different color, would choose darker exterior, very fond of back up camera.

likeFilled Catherine N.

Very sleek dashboard and sharp looking car. The speaker system has good sound quality, and lots of options to change features for the sound performance. It rides very smooth and gets good gas mileage for the power it provides. It also picks up speed really fast.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jennifer D.

It's a little small inside for long trips. Not a lot of room in the back seat for other passengers. There is no spot for a spare tire for this vehicle. But does come with an air pump. It does sync with your cell phone but not the latest technology.

dislikeFilled Diana W.

Smaller than I like, would choose seat warmers for next purchase, would like brighter and larger headlights, would like feature that automatically adjusts seat to specific driver, would like feature that automatically adjusts side mirrors.

dislikeFilled Catherine N.

The biggest con is that although the dash is very sleek looking, it makes it frustrating to have to change the volume, temperature, and fan strength. The touch screen is a nice feature but it makes it inconvenient to change the radio options. Also when it is cold out, the screen freezes and won't let you do anything or show up for 5 seconds or so. I am not sure if it was just a fluke with my car, but the rear view mirror has a brownish coloring slowly moving up through the mirror.
