2018 Cadillac ATS-V Consumer Reviews

Having owned many cars and 2 Ats-V's.......they are amazing. Very reliable and fast. I am looking for my 3rd now.

I have owned a lot of fast cars including Corvettes over the last 50 years. In my younger years we used to race and build engines for drag racing.This is the first car I’ve ever had that I did not want to make it go faster. If you stick your foot in it hang on.

This car never disappoints. It’s chassis is the best I have ever experienced. Most so called “high end sports cars” can’t compete in the corners and straight line. It always amuses me to see a bewildered M or AMG owner’s look after the car demonstrates its superiority. The power is awesome and not even the OEM Michelin Pilot SS’s can always handle it. Carbon fiber package a must! I really can’t understand why someone who is really a true performance care enthusiast would buy one of these other overpriced imports other than for the status. If you are buying those for the name than you don’t know performance/value. The value is just incomparable. Best in class!

Performance, comfort, style are all excellent! Better than BMW M3

The ATS-V has the performance of a Corvette with the comfort of a Cadillac. I have had this car 3 years and it continues to bring me joy.

This car is the finest machine I know of for less than 80K$. It does what I expect it to do without any surprises or disappointments. The tire/road noise comes through. I changed tire brands and the noise was reduced 40%. Tire ware is related to how the vehicle is driven. The back seat entrance and exit is extremely cumbersome. Ye deal with it on the rare occasions it is necessary. 'Safety' straps for the front do not disengage for ready access to the rear seat as they should/could - not user friendly as the rest of the car seems to be! The rear seat and foot room is only slightly larger than the 2 door Mercedes which isn't much. To get the most out of the CUE I had to really read the book. The CUE tries to offer too much! I have always owned performance and luxurious cars and this is truly a good one. I am pretty old and speaking from experience.

I have driven performance automobiles for most of my 43 years of driving. This one offers the best overall balance of comfort, handling, braking and acceleration. I have installed high flow air filters in the stock air box and what a difference it made. This car will literally fly. I have the 8 speed auto after owning manuals for the last 10 years, this is the only way to go for maximum acceleration. Puts a grin on my face every time I drive it. Only way to buy one of these is used, depreciation is horrific the first 2 years so bought a low mileage 2016. Great seats, comfortable interior, have no problem working CUE, strong AC, love the adjustable driving mode setting on the fly. Dont know what more you could ask for, if you need more room move up to the V sport. Tried that one as well but the center console takes up too much of the room between the seats but it has a bigger back seat and trunk. The engineers that designed this car were car guys.
