It was just to low, hard to lift yourself out from the front seats, baby crawl over speed bumps, not a very good front suspension, Sold it to my Ex...

I've owned this car for 4 years now. It is my 1st Cadillac and I just love it! The ATS is reliable no matter what the weather. It's quick and powerful yet, great on gas mileage. It has all the features you could ever want: 2 wheel, or all wheel driving, heated seats, heated steering wheel, sunroof, programable garage door button, sync cell phone for hands free, push button start, remote start, can even start car from Google/Alexa. Has standard Apps on touchscreen for NAV, Weather, OnStar and Pandora (music). Love the sound quality from the Boise speakers. Despite all the features that I love; There are a couple of design flaws of the car: ATS has a sporty design, it is low rider. For sure it's a smooth ride, however it being so low you do feel all the bumps in the road and slowing down for railroad tracks is a must. I'm only 5'2 and have to step down to get into it. Anyone close to 6 foot tall will bump their knee or head getting into it. As for cabin room, it is tight quarters. This vehicle is not for the driver who likes to carry a lot of things in (their) car. The trunk is small and very little storage inside the cabin area. The front seat has standard small glove box, a small hidden compartment but still too small to really store & access everyday items like sunglasses, coins/change or cell phone. The biggest and most costly Con about the car is getting the headlamp(s) changed. You can't do it yourself, it's too tight of an area to get your hand in the light housing area. It's designed to where you have to take it to a mechanic and they will have to literally remove the front bumper to get access and getting this done is costly expense. Luckily the headlights don't burn out often, but it is a added expense to have in mind. Over all, it is the best vehicle I've owned and I have a wonderful experience driving my ATS and I will drive it until it can't go anymore, then I'll most likely get another!

I bought a 2013 Cadillac ats luxury edition brand new. Loved it, very spunky and fun to drive. As soon as the warranty ran out I’ve had nothing but problems. Leaking rear axle seals twice (about 2.5 yrs apart), dead cue screen-total replacement, transmission seal leaking, low beam headlight, front and rear brakes (yes, that’s just regular maintenance). Problem is NOTHING can be fixed w/o going to dealer except rear brakes. So every visit is no less than $1000. I have friends/family that are mechanics but this car is too difficult to work on. Low beam headlight requires removal of bumper, etc. front brakes require some special tool to remove rotor. Every year thousands of dollars. Next car will be a fully loaded Toyota Camry.
