Redline Review: 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe 3.6

Already one of the best handling compact sport luxury sedans on the market, Cadillac looks to broaden the ATS appeal by removing the rear doors and creating …

I really wish car reviewers would stick to the merits/demerits of the
reviewed cars without constantly going through the laundry list of
competitors and how the car stacks up against them. A summary at the end
would be a good idea, but alot of them, if not all of them, tend to talk
about one feature and how it compares to each of its competitors, then talk
about another feature then go through the same list of competitors. 

cbs8 says:

Don’t see how anyone could blow their cash on a caddy when they could get a
German or Japanese ride. Makes no sense.

I can only hear this out of the left speaker.

Also, why would anyone pay for the 4G connection just for the car? You can
just use an app on your smart phone to share your data connection with
other people in the car.

Piece of junk will be in the shop in 10 months then you will be treated
like shit at the service department telling you there is nothing wrong but
the check engine light has been on for 3 months.. Rattles like hell.
Clunky.. Made by drunk union workers lol

I wish Cadillac put the LCD screen from the CTS’ gauge cluster and put it
as an option for the ats. The ats gauge cluster looks so cheap in that
interior. Sticks out badly in an otherwise well appointed interior. However
the more I look at this car, the more I like it. I really like the wide
stance. Interested in the ats-v.

harjeet singh says:

i think the lexus is350 is a much better car overall. better transmission,
great chassis, more comfortable, more reliable. get the f sport and it
beats everything in comparison tests. Plus the transmission in the ats is
not the greatest 

Hunter Manzano says:

They’re stopping production of the CTS???

I had a chance to sit in an ATS coupe. Personally, I would take the
4-series over the ATS coupe or the Lexus RC coupe for that matter. I am a
GM guy myself, but when it comes to buying a luxury/exotic car, I would
only look at the European imports. I like European and American cars, so I
am NOT an inbred redneck nor am my the kind that hates domestic cars with a
passion.

michaeljacksonator says:

You should do some buyers’ guides for used cars.

Kaan Erdem says:

i stopped when i saw the backseat space, omg what the hell is that….

n777ua says:

I like the new generation of cadillac’s, but this one just looks too
generic and boring on the outside. 

Jonathan Washington says:

When can you do a JGC limited I’m cross shopping with the Ford Explorer
limited would love to see a review.

jay rey says:

wait 3 years and buy it for less than 15 grand 

Ryukachoo says:

ok now
imagine the ATS
but with a tesla performance drivetrain

Fadic4 says:

I feel bad for Cadillac. They’ve been brining some very competitive cars
lately but their sales haven’t been doing too well unfortunately. 

bummaggots says:

Jesus those gauges look like some piece of carp 90’s commuter car. 

gaivoron says:

It could be an awesome car, if they had better gauge cluster it reminds me
of my old Oldsmobile ciera cluster. I mean its exactly the same w/o the
screen. Lol 

INUMIMI28 says:

Not sure about the new emblem, it’s making the whole car look bland
compared to the round emblem. what do you guys think?

PlanetFabulous says:

Those eyebrows are SEVERE!! WERK IT!

GamerTimeUSA says:

Love the Car!

Yippie says:

This is a car review, we are not going out clubbing. Enough with the dance
music and flashing camera scenes. Maybe I’m just turning into an old fart.
:)

dave dunn says:

Government motors sucks! No one wants a caddy over a lex, bmw or merc. 

CadillacGM says:

great video and great car the V is going to be amazing

Bright Ivan says:

The CUE system is such a pain in the ass system to use.

9rmetal says:

ughhhh that exhaust note sounds dumb!

mountainhobo says:

Looks great, but from experience – elongated coupe doors are a nightmare in
parking lots.

fanowner12 says:

The red interior looks cool, I love this car, it looks like the more
expensive models, but still gives you nice features for the price you pay.
(:

Ali N says:

This is a solid car. I love everything about it. Interested to see how it
will compare to the new Infiniti Q coupe releasing next year. I feel as if
those two will compete well against each other. 

keri ellerbe says:

Good review! I’ve always been a Caddy fan EVEN in there bad times. Its just
something about them HOWEVER they should have kept the crest it looks so
much better looking.

Ryukachoo says:

thanks for going back to the first person handicam and improvised lines by
the way, it makes the review seem far more authentic

senorgato70 says:

Yes, this car is handsome. Yes, this car is nimble (as Sofyan said ad
nauseum). But it’s not a game-changer. Just like the ATS. To be a game
changer, it takes more than an able chassis and steering, I’m sorry to
say. You need a world-besting engine and transmission combo. You need
top-notch electronics. You need dynamic styling (but maybe not as dynamic
as the Lexus RC). The ATS sedan is selling about 2000 units per month,
which is significantly below its direct competition for the same deficits
mentioned above. That won’t change much with this coupe. BTW, the CTS
sedan is suffering the same fate where it has world-class chassis and
steering, but almost everything else falls behind its direction competition
and it, too, lags in sales behind the big-hitters (E and 5). 

cbs8 says:

That dash is straight out if the Chevy Cruze parts bin and the glossy
finish is a dust magnet. How could you call this premium?

misterjgl says:

I just rented the XTS for a week and loved it. I love the way this new ATS
coupe looks. I was never a fan of the way the CTS coupe looked didn’t like
that hatchback styling. With Infiniti and BMW having coupes I was hoping
cadilllac would come out with another styling coupe. Use to like the
Eldorado and Allante’ back in the day. Cadillac is getting their spark back


nastythomashobbs says:

Saturn is like new coke. It never happened. 

highwaystar1009 says:

Just not really a fan of the coupe’s proportions, though it does have a
great ass. Overall, I much prefer the sedan and its more practical too. 

Steven Lebbing says:

So when is the review for that 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA250 that you guys did
a mouth ago will be up?

Joe Smith says:

What neighborhood was he driving through? Some really nice houses on that
road. 

GVGVIT1993 says:

Always loved Caddy <3! Looking forward to see Caddy in Europe!

Grey Meyer says:

Do another infiniti

Bassel Asaad says:

Always on BPM ahaha only reason why I have xm radio!!!! Great reviews dude
keep going…..

gene978 says:

“I HATE THIS, I HATE THAT” Why not say ” I am not a fan of” “I don’t care
for” I dislike the gauge design and i think it looks low rent. But saying
HATE HATE HATE makes you seem like a Super Spoiled person. 

Albone3000 says:

this guy has a nerdy voice

Justin Wright says:

Great work! On Christmas my parents are buying me a high tech camera and
I’m gonna start reviewing cars so I can be like you and suburawrxfan
saabkyle and you! Great vid by the way!

LeilaMurka says:

Now this…….is how you review a car. A nice long video, capturing as
much vehicle data as possible. Awesome. Keep it going.

Catman says:

The ATS is selling so poorly that GM is idling/laying off 350 employees at
the Lansing plant. Every luxury brand is seeing growth while Cadillac is in
the red. GM simply does not know how to run a business.

Now in regards to this coupe, the proportions are awkward, the new logo is
over-sized, the gauges are cheap, CUE is terrible, and the interior design
is unimpressive. This has no chance in the market against a very good
4-series, Lexus RC, and new iterations of the C-class coupe and A5 on their
way.

Patriot27922 says:

Love your reviews!!!

Ben Russell says:

I agree w/ you about the Saturn-esque font on the gauges. I drove an SL-1
for years and that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw them.
