Cadillac ATS
In 2013, Cadillac added the ATS to its lineup in a direct challenge to European sports sedans, such as the BMW 3 Series, that had long dominated the premium compact segment. Like its rivals, the ATS shines when it comes to performance and driving dynamics -- especially the high-performance ATS-V version, which is powered by a robust twin-turbo V6. The design of the ATS, which offers both two- and four-door versions, also stands out with its sharp lines and aggressive stance. However, its cabin, while outfitted with high-quality materials, falls a bit short of the class leaders in terms of space, particularly its rear seats and trunk. Its CUE infotainment system has also been criticized for being less than user-friendly. Buyers should note that Cadillac replaced the ATS in 2020 with the all-new CT4.

2014 Cadillac ATS Sedan AWD
Cadillac vehicles are better than the general public opinion. The ATS has wonderful dynamics and excellent styling. My major complaint is that the options are not packaged correctly. To get a rear camera one needs to purchase the not-so-great CUE system. Also, the rear seat only folds down with a luxury trim option, while a basic Chevrolet Cruze has this feature.
