I have had this car for 3 years so far.

I have had this car for 3 years so far. I love it! The car itself is very lively and can speed up very quickly. It is a comfortable car to sit in and while it is small that is why I bought it. The leather seats are comfy, and the seat warmers work well. It is great on gas mileage, and I find it does not take above 50$ to fill up. I commute to work daily, and this car is reliable and fun. I have had issues with this car such as the transmission wire harness needing to be replaced and the rear axle dif leaking and needing to be replaced. I also had an engine crank shaft house crack and that caused my car to stall. Other than these few minor issues it has been great. The car has a decent entertainment system but sometimes the CUE system lags a little bit. The electronic readings on my fuel MPG and my fuel tank estimate are wrong usually but they are about correct to the true reading. I would buy this car again.

It makes a lot of noise is the front end!

I think it’s to noisy! Not to good on gas! Expensive upkeep on it! Other than that I guess it’s pretty reliable! I worry about the front end noise it seem to be getting louder!

good car

Be ready to replace the Cue System due to freezing, black screen, and controls not working. Do a full trans flush for engine shuddering. TSB 88-na-355. Interior controls stopped working on the steering wheel. Airbag light on. 80k on the car and its already needing a lot of work.

Sporty and comfortable car!

I have always driven SUVs, this was a great change for me! It’s sporty and provides all of the comfort of a luxury car! I’ll definitely buy another one!

Great Car but needs more power.

I loved my ATS Coupe and for the most part it was a great car. Mine was the triple black with the Carbon Black option package. which added among other things Ricaro Sport Buckets. If I had to do it over again, I would not get these seats. I am a bit of a larger American around the mid section and after about 20 minutes, these seats actually hurt. The side bolsters are just too narrow for anyone that has any kind of extra girth. I did have a lot of fun with this car but unlike other cars I have owned, I wasn't really sad to see this go.

Not without it's problems.

Currently have 13,000 miles. Taking to the deal this week because of typical transmission "shutter". Hope a fluid change will repair but time will tell. A bit cramped for a guy my age. Not easy to enter and exit. Very peppy and fun to drive. Excellent gas mileage.

Most unreliable car I ever owned

Had continuing problems with power steering. Dealers in 2 states could not diagnose problem. Finally they replaced the Rack on power steering. Next the Torque Converter had to be replaced. Next a front wheel bearing had to be replaced. All this in the first 20,000 miles. Too bad because it was a beautiful lookin car and fun to drive when it was right.
