I had 2014 2.5L, loved it. More of base model. All black, and powdercoated the wheels black also, was a great looking car. I like the smaller sedans, I sold it and I really hate that I did that. I got a screaming deal on it from the caddy dealer here in SLC and bought it new, the 2.0turbo would have been even more fun. It was my daily driver, perfect size. Lots of compliments on it, never in the shop.

I rode in one that a friend bought, 2.0T. Nice car, reasonably quick with the turbo. I'd roll one, good looking car. comparable to a 3 series BMW

ATS and CTS use the same platform as the Camaro. Solid with good handling, you can’t go wrong...I’d do an ATS with the 2.0T [emoji106]

My daily driver is a ‘14 Luxury with the 2.5L. I think my ATS was a great buy. I have put 75k on itso far and I haven’t had any real big issues. It’s inexpensive to own. The car handles and rides very well.

The CTS Sedan has a better sized back seat. I had a CTS Sedan before the ATS. If you have back seat passengers often get the CTS Sedan. When I bought my ATS, I wanted a smaller car. I was after the CTS couple but I wanted the rear doors for trips to the dry cleaners and loading my dog. If you don’t need the rear doors, check out the CTS coupe, they’re about the same size inside and have a lot of cool features like push button door handles like the Corvette.

I've had 5 CTS's from 05-now...Great cars. I have the 2.0l turbo and it has plenty of power.

The ATS is based off GM's Alpha Platform which makes it one of the best handling small sedan/coups ever produced. We bought my wife a 2017 ATS-V which i now have tuned to a little north of 500hp :D. You really can't beat what you get for the money considering it never really was marketed that well by Cadillac, which in turn lead to the car not selling very well. You can find some amazing deals out there for sure.

Thanks for the feedback, we finally pulled the trigger, 2016 2.0t 8 speed trans. Cue stereo. No moon roof, don't like them. We wanted something on the smaller size. Best fuel raiting so far is 36 mpg. Search for this color and trim package and said fudge it. She scoots
