***** I've owned BMWs. My last car was an e46 3 series. That was a fun car but I'm just not impressed with the newest BMWs.. And sales don't mean anything to me if a car is boring and bland.
@@Rtvoll to me its about the cost of service and reliability. cadillacs wont kill your bank account if something breaks. bmws will and they love to break. alot.
You nailed the over-the-shoulder shot. Thank you for doing that! It's exciting to watch and I've been wishing for that angle from my daily ingest of internet reviews.
37k for a luxury coupe. That's a bloody bargain. Here in Australia you'd be getting none of that for 37k. The closest is a Toyota 86. Even then it's substantially more then 37k, and it ain't luxury. Man, I want to move to the states.
I have not owned and American car since 1977. I have been German and Japanese for the last 40 years. I have been driving a 2011 BMW M3 and the miles have been piling up and the payment was large and had 4 years to go. Well not to bore you no German dealer would make me a reasonable deal after all the years I bought from them. So I leased a ATS 3.6 coupe. Granted it is not an M3 but drives great and looks beautiful. All the Geek things are better than the Germans offer. We shall see how it holds up. Only been a week.
Just paid for the 2015 ATS. I thought about BMW and AUDI before, but seems the BMW and AUDI are street cars now, almost everyone has one... And I don't like the interior, I love BMW X6 and AUDI A7, but they are bit much for me. I drove a Camaro SS, Cadillac CTS Coupe and Infiniti JX35 before, but I like this more. Personal choice, don't trash me with BMW is better, thanks
Last year when I was looking for a new car I test drove the ATS 4-cylinder turbo and 6-cylinder, and much to my surprise, I thought the 4 was funner to drive. The 6-cylinder felt heavier when you driving and dove much more into corners and just didn't feel as crisp. You could certainly feel the additional acceleration, but it just wasn't as fun to drive. The other thing I'd say is that the ATS 4-door looks much better in person than in pictures, don't know why, but it does. It's kind of boring to look at in pics and videos, but in person I think you see more of the details that are just loss otherwise. I'm hoping this is the case with the coupe since the coupe was really really disappointing to look at in pics and videos.
杜建霖 I never really noticed the auto transmission, which is a good thing. I only took it for about 10-15 minute test drive, but in my limited time with it, it never got in the way, which to me is the job of an auto. The downside of this car is the terrible CUE entertainment system/software, the rest of the car is pretty great and it was really fun to drive for a sedan.
I love ATS coupe and Cadillac. I only wish more rear legroom and different design of the dashboard at the passenger's seat. Prefer like cts coupe. Amazing robust solid feeling in awd version , serious, elegant and classic design that stay for ages. Not a temporary toy for the mass.
The only thing I don't like about the ATS is the CUE. I'm used to volume knobs. That said, that V6 sounds pretty sweet. I'd probably go with the turbo-4 because I go up to 10K feet altitude a few times per year.
I got a 2015 ats premium performance 3.6 sedan with 30,000 miles for $23,000, in April of 2019!!! Triple black with 19 inch shiny black wheels, Cadillac certified! Original sticker was $52,000! Love it
Maybe an odd ball question but did you get to check out the rear seat room? I'm in the market for a sedan but a couple with the back seat space of say, the 4 series or E-class coupe, would be great.
You’re kind of all over the place you’re saying the steerings too light but it’s the best handling car in it’s class and then you’re saying that the engine sounds could use refinement but yet and they’re so perfect. It doesn’t really make sense you’re kind of talking in circles.. But that being said, I think the ATS coupe 3.6 is an amazing car. I have the premium performance myself and I absolutely love it and I’ve had BMWs Mercedes whatever this is my favorite car by far.
as a gm guy disappointing that gm hasn't brough out any 8 speed auto apart from the vette and silverado. would also like to see that twin clutch 7 speed rumored to be in development for the 2016 or 2017 cruze also i find that alot of the gm cars in auto won't do a burnout
Well my going on 8 month review. I am still liking my 3.6 ATS. It has been so much fun to drive. Runs well handles even better. The looks still keep me interested but and now there is a but... The CUE system really sucks. Very disappointed with that. The screen has frozen on me 4 times and has to be rebooted by On Star. Now today my I Phone would not pair up and the screen has locked in the phone mode. I was much to pissed to play with it so I will revisit the issue in the AM. I feel if you have to pay a large price for a system like that it better work correctly. Strike one. I am not a patient person so this could be a deal breaker. Let you know.
My bad on the CUE system. When my i-phone got hot it would not respond to the CUE so it was an overheated phone. Still want to see the ATS-V very slow in coming out.
+Robert Tiscione One thing to note: from 2016 onwards, the ATS includes carplay and android auto, so people will not really have to deal with CUE anymore. Unfortunately, it's not available as an update for 2015.
I kind of like the new style emblem, and would prefer the turbo 4 manual.@Sebastian Rosenberg, in size this would be a competitor to the 3 series as there is about an inch size difference in every dimension. Weight is bang on too.
My follow up on my ATS 3.6 Performance. Well we are getting close to 6 months and here is my take so far. No problems at all (knock wood) Handles probably better than any car I have had except for my 2007 Audi RS 4. (Probably the best car I ever had). Fit and finish is perfect stereo is Very good. Gas mileage is probably very poor considering the engine is no where near as smooth as a BMW or Audi. Very comfortable seats long ride not an issue here, quiet cabin. Beats the BMW in those departments. Back seat can not fit an adult not that it is an issue with me. Grade B+ I feel better than the new BMW 3 or 4 series. Perfect size to drive magnetic shocks are just great. So if I were to buy again I would look at a Mercedes to compare it with. Good car not disappointed in the least. I just feel that BMW quality has dropped probably Audi and Mercedes then Caddy? Thank you
didn't the CTS coupe just come out not that long ago? I have to say that i do love this car though. can't say i'd buy one if i could afford it though, as i'd probably go with a tesla, but it is nice
Narrowed it down to the ATS Coupe and the Lexus RC 350 and decided to go with the Cadillac. I really liked the looks of the RC, very sporty and pretty unique but the interior and options just didnt stack up for me. I am a pretty big guy at 6'2" 220 pounds and the RC just felt cramped to me. The center console was just a bit too wide and I really didnt like the mouse pad as much as the ATS touch screen.
are Cadillac's reliable? I really love what gm is doing with Cadillac and I'm considering purchasing one, but I've always hade and still drive Acura. Mainly because it's overalnotl cheaper to maintain than a German or American vehicle, or are they cathing on with the Japanese as far as reliability goes.
I would never want to get a slushbox automatic, I've heard the manual in this car isn't very good though so Cadillac needs to get a dual clutch transmission in this car.
He is such a troll he even later admitted the v6 sounds good and he loved it. But he started with how he was middle of the road with it. That car is crazy good stop being such a knob!
If you want to start giving good reviews of a car that you're driving stop talking about what it DOESN'T have and what you DON'T like. Your personal opinions do NOT matter.
Great review! But, sorry, the ATS wouldn't be on my shopping list. Too many other compelling choices out there. Yes, I'm sure it drives very well, but its design is too sedate and the overall package just doesn't measure up to the BMW, Audi, or Mercedes coupes. Or even the new RC.
This was a GM promotional day so they wouldn't have been getting people to test the cars on rough roads. Listen from 6.20. I was amazed how he had to shout to make himself heard. If Cadillac are going up against Euro luxury brands they are going to have to do better than this.

The GM driver doesn't know what the hell he's doing, he's missing gears all over the place. I find it amusing when somebody employed by the company to represent the brand doesn't know how to properly showcase the brand. I did however see my friends house in the video when they did the 2nd attempt at a burn out. They are testing the cars on Milford Road just down the road from the GM Proving Grounds, beautiful area to be driving in a car like that as long as you have somebody that knows what the hell they're doing.
I have a 2015 ats premium with performance pkg with a 3.6. Has the fe3 suspension. The car is impressive for a v6. Handles like on rails. Have owned it for 2 years and still get the "wow" factor everytime I drive it!!!
Hold on to it. The ATS Coupe is destined to be a classic collectors item! One of those cars that you keep even if you later buy another new car.
I would take the ats. Bmws are overrated.
***** I've owned BMWs. My last car was an e46 3 series. That was a fun car but I'm just not impressed with the newest BMWs.. And sales don't mean anything to me if a car is boring and bland.
The 3-series and 5-series could really use some much needed improvement, but their 7-series sedan seems promising.
@@Rtvoll to me its about the cost of service and reliability. cadillacs wont kill your bank account if something breaks. bmws will and they love to break. alot.
That v6 sounds really good.
These cars are impressive and far underrated! A car you must drive!

Cadillac's quest to regain its status as the standard of the world began with the CTS.
37k for a luxury coupe. That's a bloody bargain. Here in Australia you'd be getting none of that for 37k. The closest is a Toyota 86. Even then it's substantially more then 37k, and it ain't luxury. Man, I want to move to the states.
@Eli Empire STFU bitch. Gtfoh.
I have not owned and American car since 1977. I have been German and Japanese for the last 40 years. I have been driving a 2011 BMW M3 and the miles have been piling up and the payment was large and had 4 years to go. Well not to bore you no German dealer would make me a reasonable deal after all the years I bought from them.
So I leased a ATS 3.6 coupe. Granted it is not an M3 but drives great and looks beautiful. All the Geek things are better than the Germans offer. We shall see how it holds up. Only been a week.
CONGRATS on your beautiful car :-) !
Well.. how is it holding up? I’m considering leasing one myself
The second gen CTS was truly a world class car, and the size was just perfect, what with being in between a 3 and a 5 series.
Great review, much appreciated.
I still find myself leaning toward the cts coupe, even after production was phased out several years ago.
love how the window goes down a notch when you open the door.
awesome job with this video!!!
I like the new generations of American cars. They look much much more better than they made 10 or 20 years before.
no duh
Just paid for the 2015 ATS. I thought about BMW and AUDI before, but seems the BMW and AUDI are street cars now, almost everyone has one...

Cadillac over EVERYTHING ;0
I like it , very cool and innovative
😍I want this car
This car is dope no lie
I love that engine noise :)
These are so fast. Like real world fast. I raced one against my Passat gt and the turbo pulls hard on top end
The only thing I don't like about the ATS is the CUE. I'm used to volume knobs. That said, that V6 sounds pretty sweet. I'd probably go with the turbo-4 because I go up to 10K feet altitude a few times per year.
Cadillac is boss dude!!!!!! I'd buy this.
BMW is not what it once was. Very sad, they have to send recorded engine sound into the cabin. Plus the 3 series is now a BIG car. Sad.
Amazing car!!
German engineering my ass....biggest marketing scam ever. I'll take a Cadillac anyday.
If you want luxury, you get European cars. Simple.
xXHondaFanXx And ignorant
Its 2019, I can get a 2015 ats coupe 3.6 premium rwd with 20k miles for 22k. What a bargain. Totally getting one.
Yeah dude, most of these luxury brands dont hold their value for shit.
I got a 2015 ats premium performance 3.6 sedan with 30,000 miles for $23,000, in April of 2019!!! Triple black with 19 inch shiny black wheels, Cadillac certified! Original sticker was $52,000! Love it
He's giggling away, other guys probably like, yaaa, just don't touch me lol
Love my ATS4 luxury performance package black or red leather
Good Review Of 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe. 😁
Maybe an odd ball question but did you get to check out the rear seat room? I'm in the market for a sedan but a couple with the back seat space of say, the 4 series or E-class coupe, would be great.
The Cadillac is the working man’s roll Royce
There is no truly sporty car without a manual and I cannot fathom why automakers fail to realize this.
You’re kind of all over the place you’re saying the steerings too light but it’s the best handling car in it’s class and then you’re saying that the engine sounds could use refinement but yet and they’re so perfect. It doesn’t really make sense you’re kind of talking in circles.. But that being said, I think the ATS coupe 3.6 is an amazing car. I have the premium performance myself and I absolutely love it and I’ve had BMWs Mercedes whatever this is my favorite car by far.
I'd love to see a ATS coupe and 4 series comparison
The exhaust note is not too loud, its sounds perfect!!
I like the Caddy but DO NOT like the new emblem...WHY change it now it looks cheaper and bare! Good review tho!
You can still get the old one might cost a couple hundred lol
Are you going to do a review on the BMW M4 at all?
Sofyan! I would really appreciate if you could review the facelifted Genesis coupe (2014) 3.8 V6 - ure the best !!!!
i love ats coupe
Can you do a review of a 435i ?
I like the new logo better. The wreath looked tacky.
Why were some of those shots fuzzy?
as a gm guy disappointing that gm hasn't brough out any 8 speed auto apart from the vette and silverado. would also like to see that twin clutch 7 speed rumored to be in development for the 2016 or 2017 cruze also i find that alot of the gm cars in auto won't do a burnout
Thats the only Chevy i would buy.
nice review!!! Can you do Mercedes Benz C300 or C 400 review? Thanks!
I feel that the ATS coupe was a step backwards. The CTS coupe was an absolutely stunning gorgeous car. The ATS coupe is just so so.
I disagree

No lift-shift on up shifts at 7 minute mark. Got to love the guttrel V6 sound before that.

It sounds really , am keeping my M5 😍.
I love the power , cutting corner , heavy steering wheel .
Were driving cadillacs in our dreams...😒
This or Audi A5?
I traded my '16 Audi A5 Coupe for one of these bad Larry's about two months ago. I regret nothing!!
There are some great ATS bargains out there, new and used. So forget the MSRP.
Rental? Zipcar offers 2.0T with AWD. Loved it. But hated the jerky gearbox and the irritating CUE. Other than that it's fine.
are Cadillac's reliable? I really love what gm is doing with Cadillac and I'm considering purchasing one, but I've always hade and still drive Acura. Mainly because it's overalnotl cheaper to maintain than a German or American vehicle, or are they cathing on with the Japanese as far as reliability goes.
+kirk Lazarus III Very reliable. No issues that I know of yet and I know two people with them. Tons of fun to drive!
Newer Cadillacs are VERY unreliable. I would suggest going for a Lexus or Audi.
Chris Capaccio Lmao what? Where are you getting your info from?
Chris Capaccio did you say Audi??!?? Lmao
They are no plastic water pumps or other plastic crap only wire :)
Why say the BMW has more power? Not true in either trim level.
Nice
I was interested in the ATS V but not now.
That car in front you is kicking your ass.
I would never want to get a slushbox automatic, I've heard the manual in this car isn't very good though so Cadillac needs to get a dual clutch transmission in this car.
price?
He is such a troll he even later admitted the v6 sounds good and he loved it. But he started with how he was middle of the road with it. That car is crazy good stop being such a knob!
When's the recall?
I perfer the styling of the 4 series than the ats coupe
Turn traction control off and you can easily. I can in my rwd ats no problem.
Isn't it too big to compete with 3 series? It's more like 5 series size.
Automatic is always good for majority people and it is easy to sell
So what was the 0-60? And what is the horsepower? Pleeese........
Pillarless? do you mean frameless glass?
do they make an AWD in manual transmission

I want no ones 2.0 t, 3.6 v6 all the way.
Great review! But, sorry, the ATS wouldn't be on my shopping list. Too many other compelling choices out there. Yes, I'm sure it drives very well, but its design is too sedate and the overall package just doesn't measure up to the BMW, Audi, or Mercedes coupes. Or even the new RC.
One man's OPINION. We seem to lose sight of that; that many of these takes are simple opinions ...
STIRKDAWG
No one was refuting his opinion.
Huh?
Metal water pump no electronic stearing > plastic water pumps and electronic stearing.
not sure about the styling on this car. the straight line theme doesn't go well on coupes.
Would I buy a GM over a BMW? Hell, no...
This was a GM promotional day so they wouldn't have been getting people to test the cars on rough roads. Listen from 6.20. I was amazed how he had to shout to make himself heard. If Cadillac are going up against Euro luxury brands they are going to have to do better than this.
The Euro cars are also more expensive; you get what you pay for.

This guy is biased towards BMW makes for a bad review
Cadillac's are way to small for me. :( I'm 6 foot 2 inches tall, there is just no head room in their coupes.
cadillac has over a hundred day supply of all its cars. they are too expensive. not a clue
looks boring. Last CTS coupe looked way better. Had more swag. The rear of this thing looks corny.
Manual always beats automatic
Manuals are fun to play but new autos are way faster!!! You can't shift a manual as fast as an auto, no way!!!
95% of the video is your face and you talking I didn’t see anything about the car wtf
CTS coupe never looked sporty enough. should of had a longer hood. something more sleek looking.
