Why Buy? | 2017 Cadillac ATS-V Review

[@brianjoyce9040]

Time to own a Cadillac again. Last one I luved was a Fleetwood. Now a sport sedan sounds and looks splendidly appropriate

[@s.daniels9564]

I test drove an ATS-V, and it was incredible! Point-and-shoot track weapon. Tight, nimble, predictable. Adequate power. Lots of fun. Too bad Cadillac ended the model.

[@adamhayden5152]

[@yamahaguy1732]

[@cglarsen26]

Well done review. This car isn't for everyone and that's part of the appeal.

[@ghall1964]

This video helped me decide. I purchased a 2018 ATS-V last month. I absolutely love it. In the right hands ,I truly believe it will out perform my 16 ZO6. . The only thing I don't like about it, is the Recaro seats . They are so uncomfortable, just a bit to much racey ,for a Cadillac, even if it is a V series.

[@ph00ny1]

Really? Took me a while to get comfortable in the recaro on V2 but once i got used to it and got the settings down, it was awesome even on long trips

[@gemini_grimm_llc8220]

Def looking into thos for a new business / luxury sports fun vehicle

[@alnebular]

The Recaro seats were the reason I didn't consider the ATS-V ... it was impossible to find one without them .... so I went with a 2019 AMG C43 coupe ... better vehicle at almost $8k less.

[@jetx2599]

@@alnebular lmao did you really just say a C43 is better than a ATS-V? The C43 is slow and handles meh, it doesn’t have any of the modifications that make it a real AMG. It’s cheap for a reason because it’s all badge no performance

Dude, I have an 18 z06 and this ATS-V and.. Nope, not even close.

I'm a proud owner of an ats-v with the new 8 speed paddle shift transmission and this car is insanely quick. I'm doing lapping every month since 3 years now .. and this Cadillac is handling the track like a pro against Porsches, Audi's, BMWs etc.. bring it on

Why do you guys always whine about CUE? While whining you futilely swipe at the volume slider. I understand your frustration. Here’s an idea… try looking at the steering wheel. Try the owners manual. Try being fair. There is a volume control by your right thumb.

[@w41duvernay]

Thanks for picking that up. I just gave up and started using the volume control on the steering wheel on my ATS and CTS.

[@paulcondie2520]

Mine works fine! I have a 2015 ats and Cadillac put an upgraded cue in when i bought it used, cadillac certified in early 2019. Absolutely love this car. It's a 3.6 with premium performance pkg. Black on black on black. Oem 19s shiny black. Looking for a black v coupe! My ats with the performance pkg is no slouch! Can't imagine how the V runs? Did alot of researching and alot of crazy engineering went into these cars!

[@markmetivier1416]

I daily drive an ATS-V. Completely comfortable and versatile. Its the most fun car I have ever driven and is a real stand out. I couldn't recommend it more.

[@Marcofrommiami]

Hi, after a year would you still recommend it? I want to daily one as well. I'm on the verge of buying one

[@danielbustos16]

Yes the V-8 in the Mercedes Benz C63 will sound better than the Turbo V-6 in the ATS-V. V-8 always sounds better than a V-6 no question about it.

[@Christdeliverme]

Except when it's an opinion and not everyone agrees.

[@Beanjuice]

Exactly; I prefer the exhaust note of 6 to be honest.

[@krasnaludek298]

Daniel Bustos Don't agree; the ATS-V on Sport or Track mode opens the exhaust gate and sounds excellent

[@BILLUPS811]

Chevy SS is the winner in my opinion..v8 roar and a 6 speed.

[@adlerdefender8067]

Except on all poerches and f type jaguars, their six cylinder over shadows most v8 ... Maybe because most v8s don't rev high with the exception of the 350r all Ferraris and the 918 spider..

[@edbanger4life]

It would be helpful if you added a golf bag to the storage montage in these reviews. Curious if it would fit in the ATS-V without the seats down.

[@jakeholmes1760]

We can definitely consider adding that in the future. Hopefully the large suitcases give you some kind of context for the size.

[@robertriccobene3106]

All the controls for the radio were on the steering wheel also so I don't understand why it's a hard time and why you have to take your eyes off the road

[@chacedifanti6225]

why do no reviewers of Cadillacs know you have to TOUCH THE SILVER ON THE QUE SYSTE, NOT THE BLACK

[@g4do]

The thing I don't like about these reviews , is that the testers have driven everything from the most expensive , to the cheapest . To a person like me , their opinion can become biased , complaints meaningless . I've only ever driven budget friendly cars . So I don't mind buying a base model Cadillac ATS and won't have any complaints . I've never driven a BMW or Mercedes .

[@w41duvernay]

Don't use the touch slider for the volume, dummy. I'm am ATS owner , and I just use the volume control on the steering wheel for finer control.

[@leloodallasmultipass]

I find all of these overadjustable seats to be seriously superfluous. All those motors weigh something serious and I haven't adjusted my seat since I bought my car over a year ago.

[@brucec43]

You're obviously not married!

[@BowYangJam]

Yeah those electric moving seats can adjust in ways manual seats can't ever. They're are beautifully comfortable to sit in.

[@krasnaludek298]

CUE system is better than my BMW iDrive interface; just takes a learning curve.

[@yunuselafia8476]

You guys managed to find the most boring way to review a car!!

[@Mr120Man]

That's because they don't want you to look any further into this car that's really better than an M3! Check out Head-2-Head review. The numbers tell the truth!

[@mb681376]

ATS-V has a ***twin turbo*** V6. Bi-turbo would mean the 2 turbos are different sizes, with the smaller turbo used to help spool up the larger turbo.

[@Erik-cr9nq]

This guy is British or Australian. Bi-Turbo probably means the same as we'd say here in the States as Twin- Turbo

[@Mr120Man]

The trunk space is fine. This is not a Family car! Check out the Tall Guy review. His 6'6'' friend laid down in the trunk.

[@MandusahRamirez]

The size of a trunk would never be a reason why I wouldn’t buy a car. I could careless🤷🏽‍♂️

[@w41duvernay]

You would change your mind if you're an Uber driver that does many Airport runs. 13 ATS was a great compact for that duty, the later models reduced the passthrough area.

[@Sevan_UP]

[@jacobreed47]

I don't get this guy. It's like American then switches to an English accent when he wants to. I see fake here. He will say the same exact word in American accent, then few minutes later it's totally changed to an English British accent. Make up your mind.

[@GaryDownes]

Maybe, like me, he moved to North America after growing up in the UK but has lived here long enough to pick up the accent.

[@thinbluelinemustang372]

Twin Turbo...

[@PurpleHeartVR]

bi turbo? no it's twin turbo.

[@jakeholmes1760]

"Biturbo" is our style for saying twin-turbo. There are two turbos on this engine, regardless of how you say it.

[@PurpleHeartVR]

"bi turbo" and "twinturbo" are two different setups.

[@gamesofcontent]

Jake Holmes wrong. Biturbo and twin turbo are different. One is two equal size turbos that work at the same time. The other is one small turbo on larger turbo, good for low end torque and high end power.

Buy a Lexus, much more reliable and as a bonus you get the best resale value in the business

[@guyproulx1660]

scobra02 Then how do you explain Lexus leading the pack every single year in reliability ratings?

[@Mathicuss]

People buy cars for the best experience in this class of car. Reliability is always a concern on most fronts but this car would be plenty reliable. You're forgetting they all have warranties.

[@RenlangRen]

Except that the steering feel of the Lexus is like rubber, a Toyota is also reliable, and about as exciting for less money.

[@guyproulx1660]

matthebest018 Lexus i would buy without worrying about buying an extended warranty, the others i would lease, if i bought a Cadillac for example i would definitely buy the best extended warranty possible

Derreck Caldwell speed limits range between 55 to 70 mph in most of north america, 400+ HP is more than enough, Lexus don't engineer and design their cars to be 1/4 mile rockets
