Going after the BMW 3-series and the Mercedes C-Class is hard enough, but shedding some of the stigma that Cadillac has is no small order, except when you are the 2013 Cadillac ATS and you just might have a shot at doing both. - บันเทิง
I'm officially a Cadillac fan now. It has finally happened.
"is this your destination" DAMN RIGHT IT IS!™
Got a 2.0 Turbo with a 6 speed manual and the performance package which adds Brembo brakes and LSD. Car is very fun to drive, comfortable, and I average almost 27 mpg combined (RWD)
How has it been holding up so far? I'm interested in buying a 2014 ATS 2.0T very soon!
@@ithinkihaveebola5238 Rear diff seals have gone out every 30-40k miles. Have a friend with one. same issue. Other than that no other issues and an absolute blast to drive
5:49 "It pisses me off" best line of the entire review, Mr. Cooley. Welcome back :)
This car fits you. It is a very beautiful and classic car. You should get one for yourself. Great review.
I miss the Brian cooley videos. Such staight forward honest reviews
Love the vibe on your page, All the best from London!
A very good review. It's nice to see that this guy actually knows how to use the CUE system. I'm not sure why he called the motorized faceplate "a weird little lift up deal".
I sat in one at a car show and was very impressed with the fit and finish inside. I never driven one but everyone seems to like it. I hope it is a sucess for Cadillac.
best auto reviewer EVER! good choice of words every time!!!
My favorite car man is back
I love this car, so much I bought one 2 years ago. Best all around car I ever owned! Impressive
How has the car been holding up so far? I'm interested in buying a 2014 ATS 2.0T very soon!
@@ithinkihaveebola5238I love it. I have a 2015 Cadillac ATS premium performance with the magna ride. Rwd 3.6! Only issue was the cue screen. Fixed under warranty.othe than that not an issue sorry for the late comment
Man ur reviews are top notch!!!!
I like how the ATS looks like something formal, and same with the inside. Although I do think maybe they could turn the touch sensitive buttons into actual buttons and also maybe have the CD player right on the front of the head unit instead of inside the glove box.
This is a sleeper hit--few expected the ATS to turn out as well as it has, given the brand's poor history with compact sedans. Check out Inside Cars' Tumblr blog as we look across the board on the ATS's reviews and performance.
u made me "happy" again, after miserably watching 15 seconds on Rumors Has It !!!
WELCOME BACK !! COOLEY !!!
I was literally just going to say that. Anyways how are they on the wheel? I've got a 6MT 335i and my buddy has a 6MT E92 M3 so I don't have much experience with the DCT but I've heard its brilliant.
Welcum back Brian, we missed you :'(
Greatest reviewer ever! -Brian Cooley
He's back!!!
I would pick this over BMW and Mercedes any day! Cadillac nailed it on this one!
great job brian
Cooley is THE MAN! Only reason I watch these reviews tbh
FINALLY A CARTECH NEW VIDEO.YES YES YES
Great review, the 2.0 turbo is a BLAST to drive. Very zippy, impressive 0-60 in 5.7, not bad for a 14,000 car.
You're the best Brian!!!
Your back!!!
Dude...that was just brilliant!
Thanks God Brian Cooley is back. I almost had a heart attack.
I always say how i love German car,but with this?cheaper,better,cooler and awsome!i was going to get the Benz but now im getting the ats
+Stiglitz Lau good choice. Not that the new benzes ar unattractive, I just don't believe they will age well
Im a little worried about its gearbox, does it have a sport botton? or just shift it yourself I wounder
awesome car, nice job cooley!
Shadys back!
I forgot how good you are!!!!!
From my experience with GM shiftable automatic transmissions, the manual mode seems slugish and dopey. They usually take forever to shift up when you want them to. I wonder if they improved manual mode on the ATS?
Great review!
Where else would you put the paddle shifters....on the headrest??? The paddles are on the wheel right where they belong!
Nice Cadillac!!!
I don't have any problem with them on the wheel, at least in this car. I don't find it awkward or difficult in the least, but this is my first car with paddles. I love the DCT. So much faster than shifting manually, but alas, not as much fun. I miss the clutch. It's too bad that all you get on a test drive is 30-60 minutes. In that amount of time, I was absolutely in love with the DCT. After my first full day, I missed the clutch. But man, it's just so freaking fast. :)
Thanks for a lot of information i will try this features.
Holly shit its been sooo long!!! Budget cuts at CNET on their most popular show?
I've driven it, the seating is tight and I could feel the speed and the road. I buy CTS. Nice and it's not cheap.
i actually like how cadillacs do the trapezoidal crest it looks cool
are u kdding me? it's one of the best interfaces i've seen, it's better than my ford touch
why are you so damn good doing this @briancooley
Brian Tong is one HELLUVA auto reviewer dude!
Are you ok with them on a coupe?
cooley i missed you
Cnets most popular show finally comes back! Wow! Wtf
MUY BUEN VIDEO
cooley is soooo cool; smart dood and says it how it is. refreshing, i wonder what he drives?
when is he doing the 2013 accord
Great Car! Great Review!
And now please tell us what you`ve base your comment on Patrick?
sweet jesus cooley is back!!!!
this is a great car. ESPECIALLY for caddy's first attempt
Cooley checked! Ok good to watch.
You always mention the paddles on the steering wheel, but when in the world are you going to signal while you're turning the wheel? Signaling always preceded wheel turning so why does it matter if they are on the wheel or not?
And you base that off of what?
I can`t wait to hear this!
Before the ATS, I would not have considered a luxury car or even a car at this price level. This car has changed all of that.
If you have not had a chance to check this car out in person, I highly recommend that you do but be careful, you may find yourself wanting to take one home with you.
The really need to do something about the CUE and the haptic console system, It's garbage. Update it or get rid of it
its been updated
they can go LCD, but you have to get a higher trim to get all LCD gauges
Treyday1982 says this channel is cooooool!
"damn right it is"- Brian Cooley, the Man.
do the CTS?
$42k+ ... and no sunroof. Okay, Cadillac.
It does? It didn't look like it to me. It must be set back really far into the roof.
FEEL THE BURN Okay.
+FEEL THE BURN I mean this one pretty clearly doesn't have a sunroof. You can tell by, you know, looking at it
+FEEL THE BURN You sure? Your previous comments prove otherwise
+FEEL THE BURN Lmao. Take deep breath bro
When I clicked the link I thought to my self "please be cooley, please be cooley" and bam it was.
actually i'm wrong it is only on the XTS on performance and premium trims
This ride is impressing me awd manual transmisson.
i like this guy
COOOOOOOOOOLEY!!! FUCK YEAH HE'S BACK
What's up, guys. Keep Up The Good Work. library ad hoc What's your opinion about it, guys 1!
Chrome is a finish, not a construction material. The shifters could be made from wood and still be applied a chrome finish.
That's why multiple reviewers including Motortrend and Car and Driver have said it is a better performance car? And also why JD Power has given it better a better quality and reliability score?
Cooley for President!
Why did they have to make the gauges look so cheap?
Brian!
This car is very nice, but it shouldn't cost the same as a 3-Series. I built one on the Cadillac website fully loaded and it came in at just under $54,000. I'd go with a BMW 335xi instead for that kind of money.
the 13 c class looks so outdated exterior and interior but the ats looks so clean on the outside and futuristic for it’s time on the inside
I really liked the ATS a lot, but I agree, I didn't like the transmission that much
I like the Cadillac CTS and the 2010 Toyota Avalon and I have a Toyota Avalon my number 2 car is the Cadillac CTS with the 3.6 v6 I wood like to have both car Avalon and the CTS
Brian!!!
How about a coupe???
@denisrenelara Agree
I like this dude when ppl review cars there boring af.
Im willing to bet they are using the Cobalt engine in the the 4 cylinder models. A decent car though I am not a Caddy fan because they have always been old people cars and its hard to get that image out.
only the base model has the 2.5 engine which is shared with Malibu,.. and while we are at it, the average driver age has dropped to early 50's, lexus has older customers...
plus us "old" people have the money
I can watch Brian review a toaster. He rocks
"is that correct?" "daaaaaaaaaaamn right it is"
I guess the power steering has spoiled. When you drive a car without one, you would feed the difference. You would always have your hands at 3, 6'O clock positions. you even when you turn in a long turn, you would have your hands in the same position. However, the paddles would have moved to a different location. I would be inconvenient to reach the paddles.
Nice
@James king, Acura is so behind the curve of design and performance.....everybody does like the "beak" design that Acura is so streamed lined to continue with.....what until the 2014 Cadillac cts comes out and you will see it outperform anything in its class......Acura, infiniti, Lincoln, Chrysler are second tier luxury.....BMW, Audi, Cadillac, Mercedes, jaguar, Lexus are first tier luxury brands.....
@EpicThreads1 ?
can it do corners
+Piiiya the don Extremely well
Little to expensive - esp when the G37 / Q50 has more hp, similar refinement, and better transmission and handling, for just about 38K base.
Other than that he seemed to have good sense as to what's going on. He is not accurate about the hydra attic transmission being boring. Something he might not be aware of but GM's transmissions are adaptive transmissions and learn the driver and change shift points based on the current drivers acceleration and driving habits.
Absolutely, the computer actually has an algorithm. Impressive to say the least
I own a C300 Sport and i tried this car out. this Cadillac is not only better looking, it also handles better on the road. the back seats are also roomier.
you clearly never driven an ATS. and i'm sure that you are one of those individuals who believe everything the BMW/Benz/Audi ads tell you.
The Bentley Continental uses iOS software and has like a 17-inch multi-touch screen and 2 iPads on the rear seats.
Cadillac could have put the CD slot, where the USB was hidden underneath the audio buttons. Putting a CD slot in a glovebox is more inconvenient than at the center of the dash.
Paddle shifters need to be on the wheel so they are always in a relevant position to the drivers hands, anybody who has driven a car with a high level of performance knows this. Ever seen an F1 race car?
really? i though the LCD speedo was only on the XTS...
